Your second paragraph is just saying "trickle down works" when we know it doesn't.

What is it like working for 18F? Office space, flexibility of hours, commute, workstation, work attire, etc? Would someone who prefers the startup atmosphere survive for long?
"What it means is that when you leave your job, if you want to capture any potential upside from your options, you're required to execute them, paying your own money for actual shares. Depending on the amount of equity you have, this may or may not be a meaningful amount of money, but it is in any case a painful decision to have to make."

Why is that a bad thing? If not exercised, those options disappear, and essentially everyone else is not diluted. If the options remain on the books, it affects everyone else.

Also, from a company perspective, that's a rough go, because earlier shares tend to be worth quite a bit more (whether because of lower strike prices or whether the early employee got a bigger percentage of the company), so you end up with cases of someone who put in a year early on and left holding a significant portion of the company when people who stick it out for longer get much less.

Of course, in any case, the company can always issue more shared to dilute out the early shareholders who left, while dishing out the new shares to everyone who is still employed, but then you're right back to square one.
I think the reason for this is the same as the reason why companies do not disclose salary information of their employees.
Interesting not really, someone in my family made some research about its past and return to the XVIIth century. From there, we can only make assumptions.

As cool as this is, it does seem to take the protocols-within-protocols trend to a farcical extreme. The stack for this is:

A final layer so that you can emulate a POTS over WebAudio.

That's not really any fault of the authors, I'm just curious how many layers we're going to stack up before we start unwinding the coil for performance reasons.

As a non-YC founder living in SF, I'm really disappointed by this answer.

Above, you mentioned a "bandaid" solution of increasing funding for YC founders to account for skyrocketing rent - but this only exacerbates the problem for everyone else, including YC companies' employees and the entire ecosystem that supports them.

Tech workers' willingness and ability to pay ever-increasing rent, underwritten by salaries drawn from irrationally exuberant venture capital investment in tech (low interest rates elsewhere), is driving a housing bubble that, in a vicious cycle, is then further fueled by property investment justified by ever-increasing rents.

I guess I was looking more for YC to take a leading role here in proposing solutions, rather than passively hoping for a fix. The simplest, as it seems to me: open a bleeder valve by providing incentives for successful YC companies to "settle" other startup hubs, or even just acting as a broker for bidding by those locations. I'm sure there are smarter fixes, but I can't see the harm in enacting these.

I would be more concerned that you would think that vs that being your situation.
For the record, I think the vast majority of people's arguments about HFT are simply about the definitions of what HFT is. It isn't clearly defined anywhere and the blog post you linked earlier certainly doesn't capture any definition I've seen used in the industry.

In my experience though, electronic market making, which I regard as a very good thing, is a direct subset of HFT. To do it properly you must be fully automated, fast, across venue and trade alot. By nearly every definition I've seen that makes you HFT.
Even if this petition accumulates hundreds of thousands of signatures, what should happen? The sale has been announced, which means that, but for regulatory approval (if any), it is done: The owners of LastPass have agreed to terms and have signed contracts indicating this, contracts that are binding.

Were they to change their minds LogMeIn could in all likelihood sue both LastPass and the owners of LastPass, personally and severally, for breach of contract and for a number of other things.

No government will interfere either, as few if any governments will assert that they know both a business's business and the needs of that business's customers better than the business itself - not to mention because of the precedent it could set and uncertainty it could engender.

The best response of concerned customers is one, research, and two, should the research so indicate, voting with their feet and either saying put or moving to another service.

It's not store-and-forward vs. cut-through. It's whether or not the switch acts as a layer 3 device, or a layer 2 device. If it acts as a plain old layer 2 device, it can pass the packet, unmodified. As a layer 3 device, it modifies the layer 2 headers, and the TTL. As a layer 3 device, it can still cut-through.

I'm sure the license that allows me, a 3rd party app developer, to make 'derivative works' (native applications) that use Apple's UI elements, also permits this kind of use. However, I am currently disinclined to read the current developer license agreement to find out if this actually is the case.

Increasing risk alone does not increase the expected outcome of an enterprise, it reduces it. Risk is one important factor in the equations determining whether or not a business proposition like YCR's funding scheme is attractive, and for this reason the topic needs to be addressed. You are right that people who take more risks are more likely to create something great but the likelihood of a failure increases even more. Increasing risk therefore comes at a high price.

The American Empire is falling apart[1]. Everybody has been distracted with modern technology and the higher standard of living - and complexity - it brings. We have been riding a powerful economic curve for decades, which has kept most people in a "good enough" situation. Revolutions happen when people start to go hungry, and technology and a good-enough economy has prevented that from happening.

Meanwhile, we are starting to see the inevitable consequences of using profit as the sole criteria used when judging societies[2]. I believe this belief system started much earlier, but the Red Scare certainly locked the country into it's fears about anything that wasn't overtly profit-driven. Once the paranoid-style[3] took over, the country has been locked into that course.

So now we have a situation where some people are paranoid about our failing empire and our declining influence. In an effort to preserve what they see as the status quo, they keep trying ever more radical "fixes". The TPP is one such "fix". When you only consider profit, little things like "rule of law" or actually maintaining a functioning society become less important.

This isn't even about "globalism", at least not directly. This is people who see their world crumbling (aka profits are down). Moving jobs around only happens if it's profitable. You could call it a giant bust out[4], except it's our government that's being looted.

I work in Ad tech. No one is capturing anyone's voices to serve them ads via their mobile devices. People are often segmented by location and proximity to interests, however. If someone nearby (a neighbor, perhaps) searched for pest control? Guess what, you're now in a likely segment of people looking for pest control. Boss searched for a canon printer at work? You're in that segment, too, until your interest score drops and you're removed from that audience segment. This is pretty universal - you can even see what Google's got you pegged for being interested in by going here: https://www.google.com/settings/ads

TL;DR: There are like-minded people in very close proximity to you, searching for the same things that you search for/mention/use/lust after, and you're getting lumped in with them.

Thanks for that writeup link, that's really helpful in understanding what you've done. So everyone saying how the map correlates with various socio-economic factors is right (in various ways) because the obesity determination is entirely derived from socio-economic variables. That makes sense, but it wasn't clear until I read the writeup you posted that that's what we're looking at.
Odds are the "make a cure from it" part would be a human invention and therefore patentable.

That's a use patent and it's inferior to a composition patent.

Look at what's happening to Pfizer in the UK. They had a use patent on Lyrica, but no composition patent on it. That means anyone is free to make the drug. You can't really stop a doctor from using a drug for a certain disease if it's freely available.

Quote stuffing works because you can adjust your trade pressure indicators because you know the quote size and thus fair price is fake. It has nothing to do with overloading systems. To overload competitor systems, you would flicker a 100 share quote on an instrument you don't care about and trade on a different, potentially correlated, instrument.
You still want to cut your exposure. If you were resting a bid for 100 shares at 99 for 100 shares and an offer for 100 shares at 100, and the market's falling, then sure your highest priority is cancelling your bid at 99 and putting in your new one at 98, as well as putting in your new offer at 99. But you also want to cancel your old offer sharpish, otherwise if the price shoots up to 101 then you'll end up selling 200 shares instead of 100 and exposing yourself to more risk than you intended, potentially exceeding your position limits etc.

Also most of the cost is fixed. If you've already built a super-fast cancelling system that can cancel an order in 8 microseconds, there's no value in running a slower cancelling system in parallel for your less important trades, you'd just run all your cancels through the same system.

"with seemingly no regard for ethics or morals"

Are you saying that economic systems have morality? And that all capitalist lack ethics and morals? There are many different forms of the two -- who is to decide which form is acceptable?

Again, the reason for everything happening in the society is not any single political and economical system -- like soylent green, it's the people.

While I appreciate the gesture, I'm always wary of people releasing their commercial-grade software for free. Organizations with lots of money (Marco, Google, Apple) can subsidize their flagship products and drive the price of the market way, way down. This means that developers without Marco's wealth will have a much harder time getting their podcast apps out there. Great for the users, but terrible for developers and the ecosystem.

At least Marco's app has a donation button built-in.

The Ultimate Stimulation...
This is sort of what the YC Fellowship sought to address, or at least addressed as a byproduct. There's a few companies in the current batch from the midwest/east coast at the 'early development' stage who moved to the bay. If YC can scale YCF up, it should help.
Those are good ideas. (I'm a YC alum; I'm looking forward to applying and doing another YC startup at some point in the future, and I personally dislike SFBA.)

YC has done a little bit of this informally (Alexis as "Ambassador to the East"), and a lot of YC founders are from other places and retain hiring/offices/etc. in those other places. There are lists, support networks, etc. I know of for YC companies resettled in Seattle, and probably in other places.

There are also some YC companies which are explicitly "X for India", "Y for Brazil" where they obviously are based in those other places.

There ARE a lot of YC companies which want to remain in SFBA, though, so looking at options like Campus (RIP; wonder what happened; would love to talk to the founder for a post-mortem) makes sense, too.

A couple things:

1. IPv6 completely removes the checksum you used to have in IPv4. So, now there is just the Ethernet FCS, and the TCP checksums. You should use IPv6. If you're not using IPv6, you're only hurting yourself, and the rest of the internet.

2. Just transport everything over SSL, please. With AES-NI, the overhead for encrypting data is so tiny, that it's easier just to let someone else solve this problem.
Then by all means, please continue trusting a complete database of the most valuable information in your life to the lowest bidder.

Could you please expand on this? I am in the same vein as cperciva but it doesn't have any relationship with collaboration. Sometimes you have a relatively successful company where more capital and fast growth would cause more harm than good BUT because right now you can't see a path for growth.
