The idea isn't that you go for years on the YC 150k. For most YC startups, the idea is that the social proof of getting through YC buys you access to the market for syndicated convertible debt rounds, which, while talked about extensively on HN, are not all that easy for first-time founders to access without YC's help.

So really, YC is giving you some money to get through demo day, at which point you'll raise real "runway" money from seed funders.

There's a cohort of YC founders that only do YC (or, at least, rely on YC's money for a long time before raising further); those companies get to break-even cash flow quickly and often aren't (or aren't yet) on the "shoot the moon" trajectory VCs are looking for. But those companies aren't made or broken by YC's decision to "fund" them.

iCloud has its own benefits but the web UI is not one. iCloud is slower than Google's services and _does not work_ on a mobile browser.

Whether malice or incompetence the key thing is that it's blocking a legit post with no recourse.

Is The Guardian a legit source? What does legit source even mean? As far as I can tell, it means, "Has a strong brand." Given what we know about brand decay and bait and switch, are our criteria even remotely useful and valid? From what I've seen, I don't think so. It seems like many "legit" news sources with failing business models are cashing in their brand reputation, while it lasts, for some link-baiting and public manipulation.

I don’t think Facebook was part of that group. More importantly though, it was in the aftermath of that, where large companies started more aggressively poaching employees, that large company compensation ballooned and startups started to complain about the top large companies hogging talent.
We still fund a lot of young early stage founders. I think there are two things that make them stand out less on Demo Day. First, batches are much larger and the average age of the batch has increased. Second, these founders are much less likely to be starting consumer startups and therefore they blend in better with the other startups.

Another important change over the past 10 years is that many talented young potential founders are being vacuumed up by the big tech companies once they graduate from college (or before in college internship programs). Essentially, the big companies are pre-hiring their future competition. The combination of these actions and the strangling of distribution channels (messaging, social networking, and email) is preventing consumer startups from getting a foothold. And by and large young founder tend to be attracted to consumer startups.

We are doing a number of things to counteract the recruiting efforts of big companies including YC Early Decision: https://blog.ycombinator.com/early-decision/ and YC Startup School: https://www.startupschool.org.
I have done some digging since posting this.

Chromium appears to execute some logic to decide if it should show autofill for a given field. This logic appears to be analyzing text before the element that autofill is displayed on. I thought "if I know what that logic is then I can trick it into not displaying." I spent some time looking through the Chromium source code to find that logic and understand it, but I could not find it and don't have time to research it further. This seems the key though to managing this problem.

Other ways of addressing this might include using a different sort of HTML element instead of input. For example textarea or editable div.

One argument I've seen on PayPal is that it some people use the balance as an "off the books" place in family finances.

Stereotypical narrative: The wife will have a fit if she sees a credit-card transaction for an expensive hobby item. But if you just see "PayPal transfer, $300.00", or better yet, nothing because you paid out of a balance you filled up by selling junk on eBay, it has plausible deniability.

>"One question of interest is whether the times are the same on average for the two workplaces. Formally, we test the null hypothesis that the average runstitching time for the standard workplace is the same as the average runstitching time for the ergonomic workplace."

Who would this be of interest to? I would never expect two workplaces to have exactly the same "runstitching time" (or anything else).

Also this is misstated, you would be testing if the two datasets are samples from distributions with the same average. Ie, the actual measured averages are not expected to be the same.

I'll never completely trust a software product, especially communication ones. However, I'll blindly put all my money on protocols. A protocol is indestructible, it's just a document. It doesn't need VC funding to keep servers alive, it doesn't need advertisements, it doesn't need ridiculous growth benchmarks, it doesn't need anything. The beauty of protocols is that you're free to write your own client and server to have end-to-end control. IRC is a perfect example. I can't count the amount of client and server software, but they all interact with each almost perfectly.

That's why email will continue to exist forever. And that's why email is so versatile.
I answered your first model comparison with point #1. Can't use it here since I don't know what other scenarios you're modeling out.

I think points #2 and #3 continue to apply. You can't say that the new framework will result in more dilution in "basically every circumstance," because that assumes all of the surrounding aspects of the circumstances will continue to remain the same. I can model out a scenario for you as well that shows a thoughtful founder now able to better plan out a round using a series of escalating valuation caps, rewarding the earliest investors, to raise the same amount of money but for less overall dilution, in precisely the manner described by PG in his original post. Or another scenario where investors are ok with slightly higher valuations because they have certainty of ownership. Or another scenario where a founder who previously would've raised an unnecessary extra 5% now doesn't, because the dilution math is clearer.

Your point about safe dilution being 15-30% is exactly right, and exactly one of the reasons we're doing this. The high part of that range is too high. People are raising too much, on too dilutive terms, because of the lack of transparency. Founder dilution is driven by what everyone else on the cap table is getting, not just us. If that sum total of "everyone else" is still less, founders are still net better off. If you want to frame the dilution aspect all indexed to YC ownership, that's ok, but the outcome was already pre-figured by your choice of framing in the first place. We can agree to disagree on that.

That said, I think one thing we can definitely agree on is that the success or failure of this new framework will be judged by whether founders are more or less diluted in the end, and have a harder or easier time raising money. We've already made our bet, so there's not much to do here but let it play out.
Sounds interesting, are you able to go into more detail?
Yeah, I tried reading some code to see if I could get a grasp on Rust, but found that the language puts too much friction on the developer, when writing or reading code. The syntax ends up too dense. For gamedev particularly, I think Rust is just too much, though I can understand it's value if you're coding highly concurrent code with huge memory safety needs.
> There’s a symbiosis between knowing what test needs to be written and knowing what code needs to be written.

This should only be the case while unfamiliar with the language or project at hand. In my experience, once you're familiar with the project and the language, mulling over a requirement for a short time should be enough to split it into smaller features which are simple to test in isolation.
Due to our teaching and research cycle, we do generally release a bunch of related things about once a quarter, around when new courses come out. So generally you won't see any fast.ai related news for a few months, then a few things might pop up in quick succession. That might make it feel like we're appearing on HN "every day".

(In fact, we have a major software release coming up next week - and then nothing planned until well in to 2019.)
I thought the whole point of ActivityPub+Git was to replicate the social aspects of GitHub. I think developers don't really have experience working with email either, so they go with what they know best (web).
One of the top comments by herpderperator dives into it pretty good. The part that I had questions was where it tied into the increased traffic patterns. But if I'm understanding it correctly, that would be because you're baiscally walking the graph, each token that you compromise, you have to masquerade as that new person to expose more tokens that they are connected to.
The argument is it's beyond our observable universe. It's not possible to be investigated as we can receive no information.
You’re not working.
In short, yes:

* CPU time per request: we do more work than we used to on average. For example, we do more asymmetric cryptographic operations now, and since introducing those operations we've increased the lengths of the keys. CPU time per request contributes not only to cost but to user-facing latency.

* overall request rate: we handle >256X as many requests as we did 12 years ago.

Those reasons are particular to my service, but I'd say the continued usage of C++ is convincing proof that plenty of people are willing to go to considerable effort to improve latency and efficiency. It'd be a lot easier to write things in a higher-level, GCed language otherwise.
I posted on Facebook about how the NSA have a profile of everyones race, sexual preference religion etc- it was in the context of the Australian government digital health record scheme, I basically said no point opting out of that if you already have Facebook.

Facebook is a closed platform now, at least in China everyone acknowledges the censorship, in the west were still cencored but the fact that it happens is also cencored.

Isn't this a useful form of price discrimination, though? The coupons allow you to sell your products at full price to those who are price insensitive, while also allowing you to sell at a discount to price-sensitive buyers. Only the latter are willing to go to the hassle of looking up the coupon codes.

My wife installed a plug-in on our family computer that looks up coupon codes for you at checkout time. But often they don't work, so I don't even bother with them. To me, that suggests that even if its 'easy' to find the coupon codes, the coupons still work as a form of price discrimination.

Children aren't equipped to separate fiction from reality, so they aren't as critical about what they're told as adults are. Plus they rarely have much money of their own, so advertisers use the children's "pester power" [0] to get the parents to buy stuff.

No I don't. That's learning about real life issues to equip you for the future. Ads are people trying to take advantage of you for their own profit. Don't compare commercials with information.

You're right, I was making a hard assumption that people's news sources inform their views on facts that are in the news.

The space stations we've built have all been in LEO. The ISS would deorbit in less than two years without periodic boosts. As such, no nearby orbit can be considered stable.
