The trick is to work at a company where you can choose your working hours. I usually work 2 pm to 10 pm, and then tackle my personal projects / hobbies 11 pm to 4 am. Of course, things will change completely if / when I get marrie

Facebook is doing its best to stop people from accessing this as well -- if I click a link to that website from Facebook, I get a message that seems designed to stop me from going ahead. It says, "Something Went Wrong. Sorry, there was

The cost wouldn't be 3X, as USCIS refunds the application fees entirely if you're not picked in the lottery. However the lawyer's fees are still a cost. Source: http://www.murthy.com/2015/06/25/

Surely I'm missing something here. Won't giving YC equity to these researchers (who are working not-for-profit and releasing IP freely) incentivize research that benefits YC startups directly and hence increases the value of the e

Someone over on Reddit asked the same thing. My reply: You're exactly right. But there are multiple complications: - unique_ptr and shared_ptr are only available in C++11 onwards, we're still to migrate to a new compiler - auto_pt
