To anyone thinking about incorporating: unless you have a very good reason for doing so -- by which I mean solid legal and accounting advice, and money to pay associated costs -- do not bother incorporating outside your home state.

As others have said, DE has a great, business-optimized court system. But if you don't live in DE, you're instantly at a huge legal disadvantage if anything comes up. Meanwhile, you'll be stuck paying:

* annual corporate filing fees (WY), minimum franchise taxes (DE), licensing fees (NV), income taxes (many states), etc. in the state in which you've incorporated.

* foreign corporation fees/taxes and income taxes in your state of residence.

* foreign corporation fees/taxes and income taxes in any other state where you do conduct significant business beyond sales.

* registered agent fees in the state in which you've incorporated.

* possibly mail forwarding fees, depending on what you're trying to do.

(I incorporated in Wyoming last year, then realized how dumb that was, dissolved the corporation, and re-incorporated in my home state this year)
What ever happened to TextMate 2?
Thanks for the response! It was a long shot, but I thought that I would ask in case someone new of a stable and reliable way to use OS X shared libraries on Linux. I imagine it would be easier on NetBSD.
You've drank milk and eaten meat contaminated by poisonous chemicals from coal power plants for your whole life. Not a single person has died yet from the Fukushima disaster, yet millions of people have died from ailments caused by coal power plants. Why is that kind of contamination just fine?

I find it incredibly offensive to see the Americans on this board downplaying the damage from Fukushima.

Perhaps we should first stop downplaying the damage from every single coal power plant in the world, particularly those in China and other developing nations with minimal pollution controls, where there are millions of people suffering from pollution-related illnesses?

I don't think anybody wanted to offend. People just learning what mSv is, and there is a lot of propaganda and brainwashing happening here and around the world. Big money at stake.

Why would Top Gear use a calculated track capacity number (55 miles), given that they could have measured an actual number? I understand that 30 minutes of hard driving can be exhausting, but how exactly could they have calculated an accurate value?

Say what you will about EPA numbers, but at least they involve standardized measurement.
I had to check the top of the screen if this is really hacker news... Come on, guys, seriously...
Couldn't you give the same challenge to the area near a coal powerplant? And oh, our entire climate has been significantly soured by that.

Every power generation method we have significantly impacts the local environment, even geothermal and hydroelectric. There are a lot of accidents and environmental corruption stories every year, but one accident in a worst case scenario impacts you personally, and suddenly you're issuing edicts and saying hard facts are "handwaving" and "misinformation."

Great.
This is somewhat offtopic but the plus is actually a defacto standard in most mailers. I believe but can't say for certain that sendmail was the first to ignore everything after the plus in the local-part of the address and most other mailers do the same.
Sure, for some things. But it wasn't a valid alternative before a bunch of people decided to spend an awful lot of time making it, despite the unlikeliness of it ever being a real competitor to DOS.

And years before that even, the GNU project was powered almost entirely by idealists (albeit the kind of idealists who actually ship code). Rewriting Unix from scratch for free? That sure sounded crazy at the time.

Nuclear power is inherently UNSAFE. It takes a lot of hubris to claim otherwise. It harnesses intense fundamental forces of nature that we can never control without a small but inevitable risk of horrible damage and harm to unlucky populations. In controlling power of this magnitude, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes or freak events that allow this power to seep out of whatever is the latest in fundamental-forces-of-nature-containment technology. Coal plants may cause awful air pollution, but there is no chance of radioactively poisoning an entire city. There's a reason no coal power plant has ever been paid quite as much attention as Fukushima, isn't there?
Buy Fukushiman land. Raise your kids there. Feed them local produce. To thy own self be true.

I am not defending coal or solar or whatever. I am referring to the closed attitude of the nuclear industry. There is a huge problem with nuclear defenders in Japan who don't eat their own dogfood. You'd think they would be happy to do so since the reward is huge (improved confidence) and the risk is only 20 or more years down the line (if ever)
I dont believe the numbers presented in this paper.

First as nuclear technology comes from military projects, there is a long history of hiding evidences and wrong informations.

2 examples in france:

- The nuclear lobby had regulation change, only for nuclear workers among all other workers, work related desease must be declare within 10 years.

- The most dangerous jobs are done by subcontractors and the work related deseases or death among those people are not counted as "nuclear industry related" in the official statistics.
"20 km or so of this country is probably going to be left unlivable"

[citation requested] I haven't seen any hint of that. Is that from actual scientific reports based on sensible standards of "unlivable" (i.e., based in sensible risk analysis), or is it just based on unscientific worries?

And did you have a hard time finding "uncontaminated" meat because there was actually a shortage of meat that was scientifically unsafe to eat, or because there was a shortage of meat due to an overzealous safety organization that proactively condemned vast swathes of goods unnecessarily to look active and because people are just really scared? Because if the latter, this turns the argument circular; nuclear is dangerous because governments overreach and aggressively condemn things because nuclear is dangerous.

If you got actual sources, I'd love to hear about them, in all seriousness, and then I'd like to know why I didn't hear about 20 kms being rendered uninhabitable yet. But I'd like to see the citation first.
What is that reason, exactly? When Banqauio kills 171,000, Bhopal kills 10,000, and 30,000 people die every year from coal pollution, why exactly don't we give energy production methods like that the kind of scrutiny we're giving Fukushima?

Yes. There is a reason: sensationalism.
why to promote that false dichotomy - either nuclear or coal. There are other options, better nuclear designs, natural gas, wind [ which is baseline type of energy if towers are high enough ], solar - we have so much desert on Earth, and start seriously develop nuclear fusion [ as its development has been practically stopped for the fear of proliferation ]
Sure, they're the global leaders when it comes to automotive ENTERTAINMENT, but that is precisely because they are entertaining, not journalistic.

Just about EVERY "review" they do on cars is heavily biased, and in more than a few cases, outrageously so.

Anyone who watches the show without understanding that it is entertainment, first and foremost, needs to lighten up, get a sense of humour, and not take themselves so seriously.

Those are the types that TG go out of their way to ridicule on the show.
I agree and use both RubyMine and TextMate, usually separately, but when I am coding in Ruby (usually Rails work) I sometimes like to keep RubyMine and TextMate open on the same project because it is so fast to zip around to look at different files in TextMate. (I do the same sometimes for Java, keeping both IntelliJ and TextMate open.)

It may seem perverse keeping two editing systems open at once, but it works for me. I also even more perversely often keep TextMate open when I am working in Common Lisp or Clojure with Emacs.
In their Prius review Clarkson said there was a big gap between Toyota's stated 65 mpg and the 45 mpg they saw with normal driving on roads. So, they have noted manufacturer mpg exaggerations before although they don't do it as a normal practice.

Consider how many people die around the world mining coal, or breathing coal ash.

I'm sure their families are just as unwilling to listen to people talk about coal being safe as you are unwilling to listen to people talking about nuclear being safe. The difference? There are MANY more of them.
Peter is totally totally awesome - I wish he would write every tech book!!

Thanks. This is in the pipeline.
I completely agree that the lawsuit is bogus. I also realize that there are some weird alternate care groups in the UK (which somehow get subsidized by tax payers!)

What I didn't agree with was your cursing proclamation that chiropractors are quacks. Had fewer people held that general belief, I probably wouldn't have suffered as long as I did before being referred to one.
Good thoughtful post. Especially agreed with the OP's point dispelling the notion that that entrepreneurs shouldn't do other things (consulting) as advocated by PG and many other investors. Think the subtext with those comments often is "if you have time to do consulting, you must not be thinking big enough".

While you're building your product, consulting can help you:

(1) Live to fight another day
(2) Learn to sell/negotiate with real customers
(3) Get experience managing people

As someone having done the consulting thing, I've found that it has made me/our team better business people/entrepreneurs. Of course, it can be a tough balance b/w consulting effort and product/startup efforts, but there are always trade-offs/choices to be made.
The miner in this reminds me of the movie Easy Rider, make a big score, then take the money and do what ever you want, which in the end turns out to not be what they thought it was.
I've never had the fortune of making it into the industry, so from an outsiders perspective. I wonder since it seems a lot of what internet start ups are based on, is having a following, as in, your app is useless unless its got users to go with it. If some of the mining is similar to creating a product and selling it to someone with the ability to manufacture it. Like if I thought of a cool toy, patented it, and then sold that to Mattel, because I don't have the resources to capitalize on it. In the start up internet world, to prove the worth of the design, you need users. So the mining concept is just the adjustment needed in the internet world, for inventors to sell their inventions. Seems kind of similar. For me at least, I would probably want out as soon as possible, the business side of it, isn't as interesting as the building side of it, I would loose money on a successful business for sure, but it would give me the lateral mobility to pursue my interests, which are not being a CEO of a company.
by the way, the plutonium has a half life of 24000 years
and 0,001 gramme is the lethal dose for human.
there is 300 kg in the reactors in japan.
that is 300 000 000 lethal doses active for the next 24000 years. I dont think there is anything comparable in coal / gaz / oil industry
Yukka mountain, anyone? Oh that's right, the shrill keep blocking it out of shear, willful ignorance of the either the local or global realities.
"Nuclear power is the safest way to make electricity"... so long as you pretend the only other option is fossil fuels.
Hey Matt, nice to see you chiming in. Appreciate the thoughts.

You say "You are left funding founders not dedicated enough to their startups to move and give their startups the best chance." Interpreted another way: everyone not smart enough or driven enough to move to the Valley we'll be stuck with. Second raters.

But you're missing the point: Is this pool still good enough? In the pool of 5,000 rejected YC and TS applicants per year are there any winners? We think so. We think there are a lot. Chicago is a far cry from SV or NYC yet a full half of Accelerate Labs' last class* went on to raise an impressive angel round. 50% follow on funding is nothing to sneeze at no matter how you measure it. Most accelerator programs cross their fingers for that.

You say "Thanks to Angel List you don't have to pay an accelerator for access". You just made raising a round leveraging AL sound really easy. You've found success with it -- is it really that easy? But even so, how do you think companies that are a tad too early for that going to maximize their chances of getting to that point? A Pedal Brain c. 2009?

You bring up good points, and I think that they lead to the fact we appear to be "just another YC". Stay tuned. This is just our first class (what we call a cycle). In 2012 and beyond we'll be focusing much more on niche cycles. Ones that are absolutely perfect for this ecosystem. See this year merely as our test drive, but we know we're not perfect. Factor that in before you short us into the ground. =)

Thoughts welcome.

Because Bhopal had nothing to do with energy production? And are you claiming Bhopal didn't get massive media coverage? Because it did.

The problem with Fukushima was that it was an outdated design that should have been decommissioned. Nobody who points out the relative safety of nuclear power wants us to build more Mark I BWR's. My interest is in Travelling Wave Reactors and Thorium Molten Salt Reactors.

But the problem is, when people freak out about Fukushima, they don't say "Hey! Mark I BWR's aren't safe! We should shut down those designs!" They go after Nuclear with a wide brush, and instead we're stuck with more gas and coal dependance.
What is difficult to reconcile is that we all know that nuclear meltdowns are catastrophic events, that the resultant fallout/radioactive contamination is utterly horrible.

Yet it seems that we dont build reactors with the types of failsafe systems that truly are needed should meltdown occur.

Obviously this reactor is old, and was not built during a time when we really knew what a meltdown looked like in real life. After Chernobyl, and now Fukishima, I think we really really really need to look at what the failsafe systems, containment, backup cooling and other system requirements really need to be.

Should we build reactors only in D.U.M.B. like facilities? Should we build them in old open-pit mines, such that they could be entombed properly.

Have we put enough research into containment facilities such that their structures will not melt?

I know that these faciliies have multiple backups, but clearly even then we can have situations where they dont work. Yes, this was a trifecta of incredibly fantastic circumstance, but it still happened and we are now dealing with a shitstorm.

Watching the documentary last night about how the earthquake dropped the coastline of japan upto 1 meter in elevation resulting in the sea-walls being 1 meter less than the tsunami - and the fact that clearly we know that tsunamis would occur there - placing a 6 reactor facility ON THE COAST LINE seems pretty damn stupid at this point.

It's like "Nuclear energy is the safest energy there is, until its not!"

I am all for nuclear -- but its current incarnation is rife with the traditional corrupt bullshit that plagues all other human endeavors; politics.

Why do we not have a global energy task force whose singular job it is is to plan, produce and protect the worlds energy?

If we had an organization whose sole charter was to produce energy, and was funded based on the economies of all the worlds countries - and energy was metered out to all countries in a responsible way -- we could be much further along to becoming a unified space-faring race....

I know, Bhopal was a chemical processing plant. But it was a massive disaster, that killed thousands, and nobody came out of that saying we should never process chemicals.

Exactly. The only coal incident that has gotten anywhere near the amount of attention it deserves is Centralia Pennsylvania. (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Centralia,_Pe...)

That's just a dramatic case that makes for good soundbites though, unbelievable more places have been rendered effectively uninhabitable by coal mining, to say nothing of the damage it does to local food sources (acid rivers anyone?)

The thought that nuclear is more dangerous, or has done more damage, than coal, comes from nothing but ignorance of the coal industry and it's history.
At scale, right now, those are the only two options.
When I see a story like this, it reminds me that the events in Japan represent the biggest PR challenge the nuclear industry has faced in many years. Fifty billion dollars of nuclear reactor US taxpayer-backed loan guarantees hang in the balance.

The industry has been working for the past few decades to rehabilitate the image of nuclear power after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, and now they have to contend with videos of a 1/2 mile tall mushroom cloud over a Japanese reactor and the continuing press coverage. Talk about challenging.

I think the HN community may have difficulty appreciating the challenges of nuclear reactor design because it is so different from software. In software, you have known bugs and unknown bugs. Once you've got the known bugs down to a low enough level and aren't finding too many new ones, you might release. The consequences of a bug is generally not too bad, certainly not on the order of making 800 square miles of real estate worthless, for example.

In engineering a nuclear plant, you have 90 tons of nuclear fuel generating 3,000,000,000 J of heat every second. The only reason it doesn't immediately turn into a big bubbling blob of molten uranium is that pumps the size of SUVs are pumping water over the fuel and removing all that heat. Every nuclear plant in the world is one minute from 90 tons of fuel melting into the basement if the water flow stops and fall-back systems fail. Fortunately, the engineering on these plants is done extremely carefully, with multiple independent systems in place to prevent exactly this by halting the nuclear chain reactions with neutron absorbing rods as well as by ensuring the flow of cooling water.

However, the events in Japan exposed an "unknown bug" in the design, that if you flood the basements of the plants with water you can lose backup power and coolant flow. While this particular "bug" is relatively easy to correct, it is a reminder that other unknown bugs may exist waiting to be exposed by other unexpected sets of circumstances.

It is good to remember Richard Feynman's quote about the space shuttle Challenger disaster, "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled."

This looks like yet another attempt to paint an interface on top of another interface - something that has caused problems since Microsoft pioneered the idea with Windows floating over a DOS foundation.

You simply cannot fix a UI by adding makeup to it, no matter how well-designed that makeup might be.

In this case, I don't see what's been done from looking at the web site. Is it some custom themes and a different style of app launcher?

Alan Kay's quote remains true today - "People who are really serious about software should make their own hardware."
Uh, maybe we ought to give them both a lot more scrutiny? I'm not trying to champion coal power here. Fuck coal power. I'm just pointing out the obvious: nuclear power is dangerous.
>better nuclear designs

Nobody is advocating that we build more 4 decade old reactors. On the other hand there are plenty of people suggesting that we not build new reactors. We aren't seeing an attack on old reactor designs, we're seeing an attack on the "other option" you listed.
Then why did he interview? If it was a phone interview... sure, no biggy. But an onsite interview requires some DD by the applicant. You don't even accept the interview if there's no chance you'd work there. And if you do it anyways, maybe for practice, then you don't give this type of feedback.

It's like going out on a date with a girl you're not attracted to just for practice. And then when she asks why you didn't go on a second date saying, "Because you're frankly not very attractive." You were kind of a jerk for going on the date in the first place, but the feedback made you a certified one.

In any case either the candidate doesn't do the type of reasonable DD that I'd expect from an applicant, even a college hire. Or he's bordernline unethical.

HiiDef/Flavors.me was a super happy client of Aleph Point!
So now the point is that coal disasters aren't being talked about? I thought we were discussing whether nuclear power is safe. Are you actually going to stand up and on the record proclaim that in general, free of context, nuclear energy is safe. Just that one sentence: nuclear energy is safe.

No it isn't. It's fucking dangerous. Air pollution killing lots of people doesn't change this. Radiation kills people too.
I am the founder of Project Skyway. Just checked out your web site Matt. Great product. Great accomplishment. Would love to have you in our network.

To respond to your comments, we chose not to entertain any device companies like yours because we do not have the expertise, network or resources to benefit these types of companies at this point. Since this is our first class, we wanted to have a narrow focus. This might change however as we add individuals like you to our network. If you don't fell for the spell of the coasts, that is, and continue to enjoy what MN has to offer to our entrepreneurial community.

BTW, I can make an intro for you to the CEO of one of the largest health clubs in the country. They do a lot of biking related events. Might be a good partner to get the word out about your product. Let me know.
