Why are you even using MongoHQ and have to live with bearable latency? I mean if you don't even use AWS, why not just deploy your own db server?

To Whomever down voted, I am bringing up a very valid question and I'm not saying that I'm gonna do that, but if I was in PG's seat during the YC interview, that would be my question and I like to hear the founder's response because it is a

This is a really bad model. I could have launch the same service for just $0.50/download. How are you going to stop cut throat competitors like me? I hope PG did ask this question during the interview, so it should be easy to answer my inqu

Depending on what sort of VISA you are on, I think it's most likely H1B, You are fine. Don't worry so much. You have a 30 days window to find employment in the US. If you found something else in the next few days, you can effectively start

I'm not sure what is the problem here. It's a piece of software that was released to the public on Github and if anyone decided to use it shouldn't expect it to work without flaws. If it was a piece of crappy software that I wrote and put i

Really?? A facebook acquisition is usually 5m - 10m, how is that against YC interest.
