> It's pretty common knowledge that if you need to send mission critical email, you should use a service specifically designed for that. Sending email programmatically directly from a web server has ALWAYS been a gray area.

I partially agree with this - dedicated email services have a higher deliverability rate than a random web server, especially a cloud-based server that might be using an external IP that was previously used to send spam. However, I can understand the parent poster being annoyed that their emails were being delivered one day, and not the next, without any changes on their end.

> At the VERY least you could have easily set up a gmail account and sent them from smtp. Choose the right tool for the job.

This is absolutely the wrong tool for the job. You should not be using a Gmail account to send out automated emails that you care about.
>VSCode doesn't even change the way code was written on Mac or Windows.

That's probably because those two platforms have already had superior tools for a long time. On Linux, vim reigns supreme. So it is easier to revolutionize code editing on Linux
Why are you intentionally obfuscating what you saw as relevant information with your [ethnic group] bit?

If you didn't see it as relevant information, or you didn't want to relay that information to us, then why not just say 'gangs'?
Uh, how do you not get that from Guillory's counter-complaint, unless you believe that Guillory is lying? He claims to have been forced out. The YC app has him listed as a 50% co-founder. Altman's blog post and the complaint against Guillory don't dispute that fact.
OK firstly, consideration doesn't have to be "valuable". It has to have _nonzero_ value, but that value can famously be as trivial as "a mere peppercorn" [0]. Furthermore: "a peppercorn does not cease to be good consideration if it is established that the promisee does not like pepper and will throw away the corn".

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppercorn_(legal)

The point is that the law doesn't attempt to make everyone "be nice", nor does it protect you from making a bad business decision. It's really just ensuring that there was _some_ business (ie, some exchange of nonzero value) occurring at all.

Secondly, it's important to note that a written contract is not absolutely needed to enact shared ownership; a written contract (or a deed, or a shareholder's agreement) is just to formalize the agreement in writing to avoid disagreement later.

If you start working together, shared ownership is the _default_ in the absence of any mode-changing agreements. Were they working together? A recorded video, in which they take turns looking into the camera and effectively saying "We are working together" [1] is a pretty strong evidence that, at one point, they were working together.

[1] https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_P6oXe1YI90

Thirdly, in the absence of formal documents saying "We are officially working together" or "We are officially not working together", the court has to fall back on attempting to determine the intention. It will have to fall back on looking for any evidence (like that video) that suggests they were in agreement about working together at some point.
I can't help interpreting your opinion as, "it's ok to kick the poor people out, as long as the upper classes, government and businesses prosper." People aren't numbers to throw into a mean function. That "net positive" argument is what has been used to excuse globalization's "there have to be some losers" philosophy, which disproportionately affects those already in poverty.

A sense of community is one of the few things poor neighborhoods can offer their inhabitants. When those impoverished people are elbowed out and away from each other to make way for another coffee shop, it becomes hard to sympathize with the moneyed class's desire for late-night gourmet poke.

Edit: Taking a look at TulliusCicero's WaPo link is making me reconsider my position.
The media coverage of this dispute, Sam Altman blog post, details of claims and counterclaims are doing nothing more than tarnishing YC brand. YC need to settle this dispute as quickly as possible.

Protecting YC reputation as the ones in founders corner in the world of "Angels are demons and VCs are vultures" is more important. The salacious details of strong-arming, fire your lawyer hire mine, and exploding offers are doing nothing more than giving appearance of YC that it is not much different from the people they were trying to help founders deal with.
No, it is implemented by each editor/ ide independently with their own modifier.

On the contrary we have mostly consistent ctrl/shift + arrow behaviour over the last 15 or more years(I don't know before that). :-)
I was thinking more of larger protein-antibody conjugates and I agree it probably doesn't need to be a whole antibody. Still a lot more to learn, but very exciting for central nervous system pharma development.
Just because your ownership agreement stipulates a vesting schedule doesn't mean all companies are organized that way. In fact, I believe the default is to have no vesting, which is why we have vesting agreements in the first place!

I'm not arguing that having immediate vesting is a smart way to organize a company. But, to claim that a YC application 100% of the time implies anything is a stretch.
Please don't let this be the reason you don't switch to Android. I think this is a stupid bug to exist, but it hardly affects most people.

YC includes a vesting clause as a standard part of their incorporation documents, in part for just this situation.

I've heard that a corporation was formed BEFORE the YC application. If shares were issued in that corporation without a vesting clause, then that's that.

If shares were not issued and the YC application is the only evidence of a 50/50 split, then why wouldn't one assume that vesting was part of that agreement? The question on the application was "describe the planned equity ownership breakdown...". Someone could reasonably argue that they agreed to a 50/50 split given the assumption of a vesting schedule, and would not have agreed to it otherwise. Which is to say, if the YC application is the proof of ownership, then how can you ignore everything that is also implicit in that application?

Absolutely. I have zero interest in letting this go. :)
Thank you! That shed a lot of light into why he feels entitled to part of the company. This is a risk any technical founder faces if they assign their IP to a company and then agree to a vesting schedule to earn their equity in the business. If that's what happened I don't think he has much legal ground to stand on but I'm sure the lawyers involved will want to argue otherwise, after all I bet they stand to earn 30-50% of whatever is decided as a contingency fee.

YAML's problem is not "significant whitespace" which really isn't a major cause of mistakes.
Exploding offers suck for whom? That's what's missing from that post. They suck for the disadvantaged party. They're used because they're beneficial to the advantaged party. That blog post is propaganda for YC; it says "Hey, look, the other VCs are gonna try to be mean to you, but we're gonna be REEEEAL nice ;)". They just picked something that they knew was a pet peeve for founders and that they knew wouldn't really cost them substantially to exclude from their courting strategies (as YC already has the best reputation in the business, they don't need exploding offers to get founders to sign up with them). There was probably a list of 5 "X sucks" articles that could've been written and sama just picked the one he felt he could work with best that day. Such pieces should be recognized as the intentionally-placed PR pieces they are, instead of pretending like it's just a random, unvetted musing from the YC president.

sama really wants this deal to go through and he is pulling out all the stops to try to make it happen, including pressuring Jeremy in a way that he's already stated is unfair (though it's unclear how sincerely-held this belief is and how much is just an attempt to court more founders; sama's employment of this technique seems to imply he doesn't really think it's that bad) and then publicly shaming Jeremy to try to get control of the story's narrative and make it "lazy nerd tries to defraud noble investors who push the boundaries of tech" instead of "mega-rich investors won't let a founder get his share of a massive buyout".

Every action is a tradeoff. If I'm being honest, I would probably do a similar thing if I were in sama's shoes, and do everything I could to spin the situation in my favor, since I had already convinced myself that my position was fundamentally correct and that this guy really was trying to rip everyone off. I think most of us would, even if we're not willing to admit it on HN.

Modula-3 descends from Modula-2, although not directly.

Some of the Xerox PARC Mesa/Cedar researchers went to work for DEC (later Compaq) and created Modula-2+ with feedback from Niklaus Wirth. Which had actually used Mesa as inspiration for Modula and Modula-2.

Eventually Modula-2+ evolved into Modula-3.

Possible reason that email service providers and other email sending services might see an increase in new signups and free tier use recently: http://blog.mandrill.com/important-changes-to-mandrill.html Mandrill in essence raised their price, eliminated free tier, and required prepurchased blocks of sending capacity IIRC

The numbers Mandrill released about that business suggest that they had a large number of low volume senders, who may now be looking for a new home.

Would Cruise have been accepted to Ycombinator at all if it had just been Kyle applying?

Put another way, if Jeremy didn't contribute anything, then why did Kyle start working with him in the first place? Put him in the YC video? List a planned 50/50 equity split in the YC application?

These seem to be at least reasonable questions IMO.

All that said, I think the issue here is that Sam Altman personally invested in Cruise, which creates a subtle conflict of interest. It's in Sam's best interest as a Cruise director to crush Jeremy, but perhaps (as the parent suggests) it would be in YC's best interest to just stay out of it (above the fray).
An "alternative to globalization", you say?

This is not what I said: I consider Atom and Sublime Text to be advanced general-purpose text editors, not IDEs.

I was indeed referring to Eclipse and Visual Studio.
From what I observed around me, for some reason, people don't use these to edit:

- shellscripts/perlscripts/batchfiles.

- Files written in a in-house domain-specific language.

- Configuration files.

- Makefiles and project files: vcxproj, sln ...

Actually, I observed that these kind of IDEs discouraged people doing the above things, giving them the impression that it's not "real development" (I suspect that this is, in part, where the bizarre term "scripting language" comes from, but this is another debate).
Right: It was designated with the letter "Z" quite a long time ago, and only later did military (esp. NATO) communication-guides bring "Zulu" into the picture, as a way to disambiguate individual letters like Z, T, C, D, etc. when spoken. </joke-frog-dissection>

Safe systems languages already existed before C was a thing.

Modula-2 is just one example.

Burrough B5000 was programmed in safe systems programming in 1961.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executive_Systems_Problem_Orie...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NEWP

"NEWP is a block-structured language very similar to Extended ALGOL. It includes several features borrowed from other programming languages which help in proper software engineering. These include modules (and later, super-modules) which group together functions and their data, with defined import and export interfaces. This allows for data encapsulation and module integrity. Since NEWP is designed for use as an operating system language, it permits the use of several unsafe constructs. Each block of code can have specific unsafe elements permitted. Unsafe elements are those only permitted within the operating system. These include access to the tag of each word, access to arbitrary memory elements, low-level machine interfaces, etc. If a program does not make use of any unsafe elements, it can be compiled and executed by anyone. If any unsafe elements are used, the compiler marks the code as non-executable. It can still be executed if blessed by a security administrator."

Sounds similar to modern practices? Done before C and UNIX were a thing.

C and UNIX have survived this long, because they go together as one, just like JavaScript is the king of the browser, C was the only way to go when coding on UNIX systems.
I don't know, because I'm not delusional maybe?

Even if he was forced out how does this involve YC in any way. Everything in both timelines With regard to Jeremy and Kyle ceasing to work together happened prior to YC even agreeing to invest in the company.
I helped build a learning management tool for our med school, even set up SSO with their AD. They scanned the hell out of us. And we had flaws. But when the dean said he wanted it on the school's domain, on their server, IT did as told.

I don't know the answer. If you do interesting things, there will be bugs. And a university is full of people doing interesting things. If IT locks everything down you end up hamstrung, like the DoD often is. Another kind of pain I know all too well.
What's there to be worried about?
And why would it be relieving that it is 'not necessarily racial'?

It is 'racial' in the sense that it is a finer distinction of races. It fits in a hierarchy like --
people --> races --> ethnic groups

For example:

Whites --> Danes, Basque, Serbs

Blacks --> Yoruba, Luo, Kalenjin

It is strange and concerning that because there is so much walking on eggshells around these matters there is such ignorance[0] on basic matters.

[0] I mean that in the least offensive way, just basically not informed, or educated on a matter.

The C standard already allows the compiler to remove calls to memset if the memory isn't used afterwards by the program (essentially dead-store elimination). C11 provides memset_s to clear memory for security reasons.
Or maybe people want a middle-ground (in outcome or in rate-of-change) which for whatever reason doesn't seem to be in the cards.

It has the appearance of involving YC because the president of YC posted an aggressive blog post about it.

They did get accepted into YC without Jeremy (who had already parted by the time the interview was done).
Perhaps your question should have been "would they have been shortlisted".

Given Kyle's background... The answer is yes.

Are you seriously asking if YC would have accepted the former co-founder of a company that sold for over a billion dollars? Isn't the answer to that question obvious?

Kyle fired(?) Jeremy after a month, was that a valid withdrawal of the verbal promise to give Jeremy 50% of the shares? Jeremy left, and did not in any way indicate that he still thought he had 50% of the company, is that an implicit acceptance of losing his promised shares?
Well, at the very least, moving forward if there is a mention of another founder on a YC application, that later leaves, I'm sure YC will probably suggest that the departure is formerly written/signed/witnessed to avoid this type of issue in the future.

I basically trust the process of globalization. "You don't go to war with your trading partners." The main fault I pointed out has to do with a lack of protectionary measures for the sections of society most at risk.

I think this also has relevance to the gentrification debate, though looking into the data it seems like governments continue failing on that front. I wasn't smart enough to come up with an alternative to capitalism when I was 15, I'm not smart enough to come up with an alternative to globalization now.
