Female Russian founder. Should I talk in Y Combinator video?
Hello, I am a female founder from Russia, and I am looking for advice, about my video for the YCombinator application. Thank you, for helping!

Here is my challenge: I have an accent when I speak English. Not so strong, but very obviously not native. My other founder is an American, so he speaks with perfect English. (And not perfect Russian!)

In my opinion, he should talk for maybe all the video. I can say hello and give my introduction, but he should explain the startup, and all technical details.

He says my accent is not annoying, and I should also talk, because of specific domain expertise of banking. For me, it is a simple practical issue. He speaks perfectly, so why should we use me, when my pronunciation is not perfect?

I read one interview from Paul Graham, about problems with accents. I took no offense! It is 100% logical. In each case, the accent interferes with communication. It is not racism. Just a truth.

Can we agree, that it is better for the American to speak his birth tongue? Or could the application be rejected, if I am shy to speak English?

All opinions are welcome. I truly appreciate advice.
>You must have an insanely huge apartment for rent to increase by $4k/m

I meant to type 3K/mo (which is where my 36K adjustment came from). And yes, I've actually looked up housing in the Yay when I was considering a prospect there. Honestly, at the tiime I was looking for 2 bedrooms so my 3K adjustment may actually be under because now I need 3 bedrooms.

>Of course, you also have the option of downsizing into a smaller apartment.

No I don't. I have a wife and 2 children who if I can afford to give them their own room, I will.

That being said, I understand my calculations do not apply to everyone because we are not all at the same places in our lives (and may never be).
> you would be unlikely to save any money at all living in SF on 150k

This statement is farcical. You do realize that the median wage in SF is less than $100k. How do you think those people are living?

Have you actually lived in SF or NYC? You're totally out of touch with the actual costs.

Yes, housing is expensive. But you can still easily get a solid apartment for $3k/m. Add in another $2k/m for food (high!) and that's still only $60k a year. You're still left with $10k more than the KC developer even started with.

Unlike you, I'm actually using real numbers and the reality on the ground. I made $150k/year in NYC and managed to save almost $100k/year.
How is the contracting market health these days?

Are you finding it easier or harder to find contracts? What is your average downtime between contracts?
I'd like to see that adjusted to cost of living where the job is. I bet is not bimodal anymore.

I mean, for example in France, the salaries might be advertised as "€35k", but from this you deduct social charges etc., and you pay tax from the "taxable income" which would be for example "€27k". Does this work the same in UK, or do I pay tax exactly from what the job offer says?

I've disabled ad-blocking a few times for understanding people need to make a living on ad rev. The problem in doing so is that they then abuse me... Typically it's not one or two or three ads well placed and somewhat out of the way. It's full on intrusive bullshit.. ads flying from the left the right, drop down ads, scroll up ads, and then the ads that i accidentally click that take me to malware websites. These types of ads are found on even "well known" websites.. THAT is why I adblock. Use me but don't abuse me. Until that practice can be reigned in then there is nothing that will stop me from adblocking, or disabling your little adblock disable attempts with scripts, or lastly just not reading your content because it's not that important to me. There i said it :)
I have seen those, but they are like you say about "pennies per day". Google could not survive on that.

If we are comparing a regular $40-$20 software sale to pay-by-tracking, then the people being tracked need to generate personal information that is worth equal amounts. It need to have mass market appeal in order to generate billions. How will pennies per day tool-bars do that?

Your accessment is spot on.

Fair enough, I didn't mean you specifically. Once you have a family the advantages of a low-cost locale definitely become greater.

Of course, the advantage of working in SF/NYC is that by the time I'm ready to have kids I'll have enough money saved up to buy a house in a low-cost area in cash.
He is the one making the profit though, I mean that is why he is being targeted for prosecution, not that it is a reason to target him.

However his facebook ads were openly promoting the fact that you could access paid for programming for free, this was his pain selling point, and I think that is much more likely the reason he was targeted.

If you _just_ want a Hello World then using a system designed for extensibility, etc. is probably not a good idea.

But Angular 2 is not designed to be scaled down that far, and making it friendly for that use would probably mean that other things became more complex.
Thanks, I asked because five items is about the level of curation I figure might be useful to get started. I'd expect the best sources to lead to other sources organically.
(kind of off topic) considering a move? considered riverford.co.uk? if so fire me your CV...
This is nice, and should give a good picture of the industry as a whole.

The data probably masks those who are self-employed subcontractors and take a lower salary in order to lower taxes at profit time, which should effectivly double or tripple the reported salary.

Ofcourse, it does get a bit difficult to compare this data vs USA, because we have social necessities already payed for by the high tax of the collective workforce, such as health care, pensions, safety, and many other insurances.

So, say average is 42 000sek per month, that gives about 59 000USD per year salary. Which may seem low compared to USA, but behind those 59 000USD, is 31.49% in taxes for things we enjoy.
Nope, but I am one of the seniors in the team and been here for a while. To be honest my title doesn't really reflect my work because I do end up dabbling a lot with other infrastructural work so could say it's an architect position.
I'll add: "bombastic, unsupported claims"
I'd argue it should be every responsible person's goal to ensure that doesn't happen. Or that as a monopoly, it gets nationalized and turned into a public service. Or broken into chunks.

There were a number of other issues that came up during this investigation that showed that they should not be running a CA[1]. For example, they issued certificates to anyone able to control a unprivileged port (> 1024) behind a domain. They issued certificates for "root domains" to anyone able to verify control of a subdomain. When StartCom launched their issuance API, it was taken down within a matter of days due to some pretty obvious holes.

The biggest problem with the SHA-1 issuance is that they - as the report shows - blatantly lied about how this played out during the investigation and did not even attempt to go through the proper channels to get an exception from browser vendors (which other CAs did). Additionally, issuing a SHA-1 certificate to a payment processor that failed to upgrade their systems in time cannot be explained by China having a large number of XP <= SP2 users. That's just an excuse.

Regarding the TrustWave incident a few years back, it's important to understand that this happened when the rules for CAs were not quite as clear as they are now. I think this happened just around the time when the Baseline Requirements were written and were not yet in effect, and various browser policies were not as clear as they could've been about this use-case. Four years later, I have no doubts that a CA who'd give out the private key of a non-constrained CA certificate to a non-audited third-party would lose their trust status within a matter of days.

Nope, you pay tax on the full amount. Each taxpayer has a personal allowance (currently £11,000 generally, but this varies) on which no tax is paid; a rate of 20% applies to income between £11,000 and £42,000, a rate of 40% on income between £42,000 and £161,000, and a rate of 45% above that.

Google sure is consistent in guaranteeing that their innovation projects are dead at arrival.
You must be young, and have no dependents. Also taxes alone on 150k must be close to 1 third of your income so based on that alone I'd be skeptical of someone who claimed they could save 100k per year on 150k salary in NYC.
This is a bit depressing. In 2010 I retired from full-time post as Investment Bank, front office senior dev on £100K with 30-50% bonus, 20 years experience. C++, Java, Sybase, finance tech and domain knowledge, and colleagues in hot areas were getting way more than that. My impression that rates are dropping seems to be confirmed.
However, WebKit and Chromium are. They are already experimenting on an Electron based browser called Tolfino and on iOS Firefox is built using the WebView.
Actually no :( we just finished hiring some new candidates to fill our team. Like I mentioned in the earlier comment I am an outlier because I do end up working a lot with architectural tasks so maybe my job title doesn't justify my work.
I generally like the EFF, and I'm a member (albeit at a low paying level)... but if you're really unhappy about this, isn't it better just to stop buying HP printer products?

Rather than being so activist & "omg outrage!", why doesn't the EFF publish a list of printers that the EFF currently does recommend? Almost like the Wirecutter does with their product testing reviews. (It sounds like Epson might be one alternative with the EcoTank range.) They could evaluate products against EFF values (driver compatibility with Linux / BSD maybe?) and it would be a more positive & productive response than social media outrage.

> As for "freezing up during a stressful interview": is that not some indication of what normal workplace stresses will do to your ability to complete technical work?

To add to roganartu's very good point about what filtering for that says about your company, you seem to be buying into the pervasive myth that "stress" is some universal and fungible thing. The stress of an interview is not of the same nature as the stress of, say, having a key server go down and take your company down with it. It's a fool's errand to think you can manufacture stressful situations in an interview and get a read on how the candidate would perform in a real situation.

Why? Color laser printers are getting fairly cheap (mine's a basic printer, granted, but it was quite a bit cheaper than the cheapest EcoTank models). You don't have to worry about your ink drying out or print heads getting clogged.
I have lived in Berlin since 2008.

Regardless of what laws are on the books of the respective countries, the state interferes in my day-to-day life vastly less in Germany than in the United States, and the interactions I do encounter are generally way, way less brain damaged than the idiocy perpetrated continuously by the TSA, idiot American cops, et al.
Anyone remember google-watch.org? Unfortunately it's something else now and it's excluded by the wayback machine. Would be interesting to read now.
Not only that, they're ripping out support for it from the Gecko code base, which means that the only way to get security updates for it will be to fork Gecko. I doubt anyone has the resources to do that. It's basically dead. (Every non-Firefox consumer of Gecko has met the same fate so far.)
How Jekyll works
Github already supported that with the second merge method they introduced ("squash").
I have to assume you're trolling at this point. The quality of public transport varies massively between cities.

Almost every city in America besides NYC is built under the assumption of car ownership and, for that reason, the vast majority of people have cars. NYC is the only city in the US where the majority of people go without one, because the infrastructure is in place to support it.
Those developers I know who work in similar industries to the one you describe are taking broadly similar salaries; I suspect the bias here is away from those kind of position.

"In the process of that I have quietly gotten them to backup their documents to the cloud […]"

Are you saying you are/would be storing someone else's data "in the cloud" without their consent/knowledge?
We already allow our government to make decisions on access to personal data for services -- it's called HIPAA.

The difference between that and seemingly "ordinary" data is that HIPAA data can be used against us unfairly.

I argue that's the case now, and we have proof it is already happening. You better bet your bottom dollar insurance companies and the likes are mining social media to charge different prices based on silly facebook posts

http://www.cnbc.com/2014/04/16/data-mining-is-now-used-to-se...

It's only a matter of time before police forces will begin to use these same techniques to "optimize policing"

We live in a different time now. Our data is not as harmless as it used to be. Hackers can attack various sources of services and build complete picture of peoples lives. Companies are using data mining techniques to leverage people's private interaction with friends and families against them. The worst part about it is -- it's complicated, and we have a technically inept Congress that barely understands the implications of all these technologies, and we will soon have a technically inept soon to be incumbent president, so these legal issues are not going to get any better.

this, plus what zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC mentioned, until we have the right to "be forgotten" or the ability to have our records completely purged after a period of time -- like you do with debt, like you do with criminal records, like you do with basically any public record, we will have these privacy issues. Right now if you want to purge false information about yourself on the internet, you have to go through hell and back (trust me, I've tried, Salon has had a completely fabricated story about me for almost 10 years now. I send an email every week asking them to redact my name from that article. Unless I seemingly spend hundreds of thousands to fight their legal arm, it's probably never going to change.)
That's great if you print a couple of hundred pages a year, but if you print a couple of hundred pages a day a cheap color laser printer will be very expensive to run and it'll break down often enough to be a significant problem.

No doubt your printer serves you well, but that doesn't mean it's a good solution for everyone.
In many places in the US you could easily rent a 3 bedroom house with a 2 car garage for $1000. Guess how much a 3 bedroom house is in San Francisco.

>you're much better off making $150k in SF than $80k in Kansas City.

Don't forget state income tax and tax bracket. Also don't forget that some things like student loan interest aren't deductible above $80k. And don't forget that to get the mortgage interest deduction you have to actually own a house (easy in Kansas city on $80k, not in SF on $150k). The list goes on (price to get your kids into a decent school, etc) once you really start to dig into it.

SF is great if you don't mind rooming up with people or living in a tiny studio. To raise a family though... it's not so cut and dry.
Users already opt into using a service like WhatsApp. They are presented with TOS on first use / account creation. Whatsapp changed their TOS and presented the new TOS to existing users when they first opened the app after the change.

Doesn't this already satisfy your requirements?

It is, of course, well known that users never read TOS / EULA for software or services.
“In a sense, we would see that change arises from the structure of the object,” he said. “But it’s not from the object changing. The object is basically timeless.”

I have said it before, the universe is some sort of a cellular automata running on top of matrix shape.

This Jewel thing may represent the possible patterns of nteraction between the cells of the matrix.. but we have to go deeper and try to model something similar so that it exhibits the phisical rules that we observer in our Universe.

> The idea was good

Maybe part of the idea, because the bit about targeting low-end phones was completely stupid from the beginning. It was launched at the same time that Nokia was crashing and burning while similarly targeting "emerging markets" with obsolete phones.

This was pointed out right away, and they just shrugged. There was (and is) a feeling that a lot of Mozilla employees are just looking for excuses to hack on something fashionable; that's a natural geek instinct, but an effective leadership should be in place to crack the whip when people go astray.
I would gladly pay for every single service I use - email, messaging, social networks, various sites - in exchange for no advertising and no user data collection.
To be fair, Android is a hot mess of dozens of, essentially, different OSs. On top of that, I am sure most people here laughed and chuckled about Windows Phone instead of supporting it or encouraging it or even just providing feedback to Microsoft. This is what your pretentious little snark wars get you, Android that so many years later is still a hot mess and iOS that is still a restricted environment that suits 99.9% of all consumers and provides them with a far superior user experience.

Let's just be clear: it is racism, but it's just the sort of naturalistic —more comfortable with what you know and like— discrimination that's subconscious and extremely hard to avoid.

One would hope an investor would be able to look past that, but when so much about pitching is already about making your audience comfortable, you'd be silly to ignore it. If your co-founder CAN do the talk and is likely to be more "familiar" to your audience, you probably want them to do more of the talking.

Also remember that it's not just who's the native speaker. I'm AWFUL at public talking and I've been speaking the bloody language for 30 years. Confidence and passion are important.

Without seeing you both pitch, I can't tell you what to do, but you could tell friends and colleagues how important this is and try to get their honest opinion.
What are the hours?
All that I can say is that if we actually had free markets, one's citizenship wouldn't matter at all. For better or for worse, it would be up to individuals to inform ourselves and seek privacy, security and financial profits as we see fit.
So the code was available but certainly not permitted to be used in a competing product without licensing. The BIOS had to be clean-room reverse engineered to legally build PC clones. If anything, the availability of the code made things more difficult for Compaq!
Damn, I alt-tabbed and clicked without reading. Shame on me!
Maybe--depending upon your commuting and family situation and what compromises you're willing to make. However, NYC (esp. Manhattan/parts of Brooklyn) is a qualitatively different situation with respect to car ownership and public transportation--and just the culture associated with them--than pretty much any other US city.
