You can go to http://www.anyleaf.com/grocery-deals and it will give you a good idea of how it works. Use the categories or the stores on the right to narrow things down as well.

They are either screen scraping or have a deal with one of the few major circular systems that are out there. MyWebGrocer has specific terms of service disallowing you to scrape and use the content for example - they also make use of proper robots.txt to prevent (polite) bots. So in terms of Raley's they must have a deal set up... or at least they should.
"I don't think checking every hash within one of the password is going to cost much, worst case your checking less than 1,000 passwords."

If that's the case, you're doing it wrong (it being password hashing). Because if you can hash 1000 passwords fairly quickly, that's the lower bound of what a dedicated attacker can do. ;)
Good luck on your journey. If this is the first startup experience for you, I'd like to ask you about if you've done any customer development? (Talked to potential customers)

HaH! Try telling Calacanis that.
Relatively few are pure web startups. They all have websites, of course, but most companies YC funds are in a particular business.
This only seems to be the case when coming from Google, if you refresh the page or paste the link to a co-worker the results are gone.

Unhosted web applications: a new approach to freeing SaaS
Why wouldn't the stores like aggregators?

Sure, they'd probably prefer it if you religiously looked through their catalogue every week. But if having an aggregator means that their 79-cents-per-pound special on spinach can drag a bunch of extra customers (including folks who aren't usually coupon-clippers) into the store then why not?

The danger would seem to be that it makes it too easy for people to wander around to a bunch of supermarkets to do their shopping, buying only the stuff that's super-discounted at each store. But I don't think anybody really shops like that -- it's too much effort. One good bargain at a below-cost price is enough to drag someone in through the doors of your supermarket rather than anyone else's, and while they're there they might as well buy a few other things they need...

The assumption has to be that Milner will participate in follow-on rounds for companies that look like they will be Heroku or bigger.
Well, if they're snooping your net traffic, then you don't have to say anything on those forums or sites, simply hitting them on port 80 more than a handful of times is probably sufficient. They're trying to differentiate "guy who got botted" from "guy who's doing this manually", and even visiting those sites is probably differentiation enough to establish the probable cause or reasonable suspicion they need for a search warrant.
There are sites that take care of the circulars for the stores. Some of these providers do not allow aggregation of the data and specifically require deals to be made in terms of advertising etc.
Java and C# "Comparison"
The first time I heard somebody say "Jason Nation" I threw up in my mouth a little. Later on when all of the hangers-on who looked good on camera were vying to be part of his reality tv show or whatever it was, and they started tweeting about "Lisa Nation" and Jessica Nation" .. I did actually vomit (I had a stomach flu, but Calcanis was a second-order catalyst of that projectile, I tell you).

Doctors can tell you which patients will be back, the problem is they can't, because if they do, that will be discrimination which would be grounds for burning the doctor at the stake. The software which does exactly the same thing, however, can't be burned at the stake for discrimination because in the event where the guilty party cries fowl, you simply print out the math. It's genius.

You 1% (repeat sickly offenders) causing 30% of the medical care costs better get ready to pay your increased share to acquire that care. If it can be determined that one human would likely need 10 million dollars of medical care (on account of heavily defective dna) and another human will likely need only 200 thousand (flawless dna), the one who is likely to need more should be paying more.
I don't think you will have to wait long to hear that (or something akin to it):

As I understand it, recent YC graduates were already almost assured angel funding because of the YC brand. So, in effect, investors were already using YC as a proxy for evaluating startups. Now they're just making it official.

I think the greatest impact of this deal is that now founders don't have to devote months of their time and energy to fundraising. Which means a few extra months to focus on building the company.

First off, that is not what I would deem fair, so bias out of the way if a copyright infringer is legitimately ignorant then they deserve a second chance without repurcussions. Not so with false DMCA claims. It was never fun.
How’d Sequoia Let Yuri Milner Grab this Sweetheart Y Combinator Deal?
You're perhaps right. Of course, these people are on things like Facebook, Twitter and blogs and if you can narrow down age, gender, location and medical condition, you might be able to correlate with public posts.

You can also look for specific people in there if you have certain kinds of prior information about them: For example, Aravind Narayanan was able to de-anonymize some part of the Netflix set [http://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0610105]. Maybe that won't translate to this data.

In the US at least, we do now have such protections -- viz community rates and obamacare.
Yes, my hypothetical wasn't taken so well. I may set up a simple audio alarm with an analog circuit if I ever feel like it, but of course a rigged gun is stupid. (I'd end up making it disabled via remote control too but then I'd worry about it not actually being disabled as I'm opening the door, even if it makes a disabled noise...)

I should have stuck with the Microwave example below, that's cooler anyway.
It would be difficult enough for the US government to shut off the internet in the US (although I don't doubt they could do it). You can't really take a few simple DDoS attacks as an indicator that such a thing could be possible in the US. Besides that, why would they want to shut off the internet when they could probably do any number of much more violent and heinous acts with much less effort and sophistication?

One of the quora comments notes the difference between B2C and B2B.

B2B needs lots of features, a great sales team, and can be Windows only.

B2C needs a great simple UI (which may one day have lots of power features tucked away, hopefullly after A/B testing), lots of press, and multi-platform is a big plus.
Thankfully, the US passed the recent national health care law which, I believe, bans such discrimination as of 2014 and brings us that much closer to being a civilized country.

I sense there is going to be a special desire for non internet based phone-to-phone laptop to laptop network protocol for Egypt in the future. I thought OLPC was working on that kind of computer-to-computer network technology.

Egypt looks like the right place to start completely decentralizing the internet away from ISP's, making it peer to peer so in order to shut down the internet, you have to power down every device.

Just because you want smart money doesn't mean you should refuse free money. If an angel were looking at a team that didn't take this money, they'd have to wonder if they were competent enough to run a business.
But these are all, like you said, stores. The RDBMS-equivalent term is "database engine"; one database management system can have multiple engines (like MySQL's InnoDB and MyISAM, for example) while keeping all its query parsing, planning, optimization, networking, etc. in common.

I wonder if there's a clause that requires the ability to participate in later rounds. That would make more sense. Otherwise it's not clear that they'd be able to. Heroku raised $3m a month after demo day; I'm not sure what it would have taken for an angel to be able to get into that round.

I find it laughable that the cops felt the need to use real guns against a "Low Orbit Ion Cannon". Guns against unarmed kids (criminal or not) - that's not how jurisdiction should work.
$150k at what valuation?
I wasn't thinking so much about the amount of capital as to the fact that someone is willing to risk it on someone else's judgment. Money managers aren't known for trusting other people with their money; if they were, they'd be their clients. That someone is willing to do this indicates to me that he considers this "play money", a little loss leader he can dangle to get in on much bigger deals later. It's not really the amount of money going into these deals as to amount of money that it suggests is behind them.
I will miss the old Y Combinator
But the kids would have laughed at paperwork until it was all over, and then possibly still laugh at it. With the guns, they just experienced the severity of their action that a whole armed FBI-team had to come in to deal with the situation.

I think it's disingenuous to lament a change in funding models that appears to be a huge net gain for founders.

Considering many YC startups have been raising additional funding for a while now, I don't see much changing.
I know the actual numbers for Heroku, and in that YC batch investors pursuing Ron and Yuri's strategy would have been net ahead on Heroku alone. And that batch also included 280 North, which has already been acquired for a significant amount, and several other startups which are likely to generate returns at some point.

Maybe if the world wasn't already awash in a sea of GSM phones. As it stands, I'm sure the incremental cost of acquiring an active GSM cell-phone is very much less than $50 (and probably comes closer to free).
As one of those single founders you hear about struggling to make things work from within their apartment or the local coffee shops: that story is overrated. It's all about the business, and the $150k investment which was offered today is an exceptionally good deal.
RBI wants to bring all the money under Indian system for taxation. It will avoid the case where people would keep money in their PP account and use it for online financial transactions. (Yeah, PP does keep information about Indian users, but I guess Indian authorities/PP do not want to deal with the hassle of book-keeping and enforcement.)

My first thought was that this will be a very incomplete list. I was right. Where is the delegate vs anonymous class comparison. What about the horrible tricks you can do to emulate refs (pass an array with the reference in it, instead), and the less horrible thing you can do with out parameters (create a return class)? What about the differences in the implementation of proper event-driven design between the two languages? And the biggest difference I've experienced between the two, what about the general design and thought behind their different standard APIs?

All in all, I was very underwhelmed. This should have fleshed the real differences (to me the thought behind their APIs) out.

[edit: finally reading the small text underneath the title, I see this is a syntax comparison. A couple of my statements still make sense, but this really needs to have its title changed. I suppose people wouldn't read it if that were the case, though.]
I almost didn't click because I feared this was a language war post, but this is actually a pretty useful comparison sheet showing the language syntaxes.
All convertible notes convert into shares with the same rights as the shares sold in the equity round in which they convert. These invariably include pro-rata rights.

A while back as I was meandering through my history readings, I noticed that most of the philosophers, sages, and artists of ancient Athens weren't from Athens. I didn't actually follow that up with a study to confirm it, but I can't help but wonder if there is some deep truth hidden here.
This is precisely why the terms are so good. With no cap, there's no downside to taking the deal unless you are 100% sure that you will never read to raise money ever.
There's always the "before they were famous" angle (important as more YC companies come in at later stages of maturity than "two guys with a gleam in their eye"). I think AirBnB, for example, cornered the market on Obama-themed balanced breakfasts prior to being in YC.

If that doesn't satisfy, particular journalists looking for scrappy upstarts can still find them - the Internet is a big place. I mean, Andrew Warner manages to find a new story every day, with fairly little overlap with other sources of news I follow.
> my salary was out of the official comp bands

Higher or lower?
Yeah, I don't agree with that.

If it's a paper in the mail that says "we know it's you", I'd be pretty scared.

If it's a policeman at the door saying "come in for questioning", I'd be shitting my pants.

If it's three policemen saying "we've come to take all your PCs", I'd be confused and seriously contemplating future involvement with the group.

If it's a bunch of thugs breaking the door, grabbing my pcs, iphone, xboxes, lady gaga cd's and threatening to kill me if I object, I'd start looking into getting more involved with political activism.

At least, that's how I think I would react, before dealing with the paperwork.

I know that the hardships of other people usually make the best stories. Hiker gets his arm caught under a rock and has to cut it off with a pen knife 3 days later to escape, makes for a gripping story. Moral is, sometimes being the person in the adventure isn't all its cracked up to be.

When my cofounder and I applied for YC this past round, we had a lot of hopes in getting accepted (we didn't, unfortunately, but got the interview). Even though I knew all of the benefits of getting into YC in terms of the experience and the contacts, I still had a certain amount of trepidation in terms of finances. I was ready and willing (still am!) to dive into YC and not look back, but I was also looking at giving up a job that pays well (I make more money than anyone else in my large extended family), the health benefits, 401k, stock options, and 2 weeks of vacation each year. I live in San Francisco, and it isn't cheap. That $17k, split between 2 people, doesn't go far. I'm a single guy with limited expenses, and it still would have been tight.

Having met Paul Graham and the YC crew a couple of times, interviewing with them, and meeting many other people at various YC-funded companies, I feel confident in saying that I highly doubt the spirit of YC is going to change. There is a certain character to all of the people I've met that's hard to define but is definitely there. That isn't going to disappear simply because an investor is trying something new.

I suspect that there are driven people like me who are in slightly different situations (family, etc) where they don't feel like they can take the risk if they get accepted. This stops them from even feeling like applying.

Now knowing that there's another guaranteed round of money to be accessed after a few months is going to let people on the edge make the decision to apply. Some will get accepted. It will let people feel like they can work as hard as possible on a dream and know they have a better chance of being ok longer. $150k + $17k at a startup of 2-3 people is enough to not only fund the company, but to also let the founders who need it to take a survivable income for the first year while they're getting off the ground. Its an extra safety blanket that lets those founders who need it to take the plunge and to fight a while longer to succeed.

For the people that get accepted into YC where $17k was enough, those people now have some extra guaranteed resources to help their businesses grow. That's the money that lets a 2 person team hire a 3rd after 6 months to let them keep growing while one of the founders concentrates on angel or VC funding, instead of hitting a wall because there's too much to do and not enough humans to go around to do it.

I'll grant Robert that YC may change a little, but it'll only be for the better.
Bullshit. As a YC alumni I can say this will have a huge positive impact on productivity.

Before: "should I raise now? I'm supposed to wait for demo day but XYZ is doing it, maybe I should just raise a little to be sure? I'll just get 2 intros and that's it, promise."

After: code code code code.

This is YC making sure their startups don't forget what matters: the product. Great move.
"struggle and sacrifice makes for great stories", but not necessarily great companies. Tech journalists' ability to phone in the same story they've written 100 times before shouldn't even register on the radar of things to consider.
One feature that I really like in textmate is the "mate" binary they provide in Terminal. Before you launch your development server you can just type "mate ." and it'll open everything up for you.
