Then your problem is that you don't have a business model (much less a validated one), not that your traffic is falling. Even if your traffic is growing as before, you need to be similarly worried.

Get your business model figured out as quickly as possible, and cut your expenses like hell in the mean time. Get cash coming in from other sources at the moment (does not need to be from your startup). Hell, slap on some AdSense on your 200,000 uniques/mth site.

Honestly, quitting and going back to a job because of this little "setback" that still nonetheless leaves you at 167,000 uniques per month is pretty cowardly.
I have also wanted to do this, or have a link to pull in titles from project gutenberg.
Maybe you should try to get a job again, or part time job.

That way you can generate some income for you, and still have some time to give your startup another chance.

Just my two cents.
Exactly, nothing. It's a company town.

Consider that the actual police were there at all. They probably didn't each go on their own initiative. Apple's guy called an SFPD guy, who arranged for the officers to go along. So someone in the SFPD hierarchy was in on it.

No one in the SFPD is going to testify, or state during an investigation, that the Apple corporate police said anything that would lead the victim to believe that Apple's people were real police. Even though that was the whole point of the officers to be along, so the words "San Francisco Police" could be spoken, with all implications that come along with that.
> One final note: investors who want business plans are probably not your target market, if you’re founding a high growth technology startup. We had lots of great followup conversations with the angels who wanted them, but ultimately none of them turned in to investors.

They never gave a busienss plan to these angels, so the angels never invested despite "good follow ups". That seems reasonable.

I'm just pointing this out lest people have this take away message the business plans are obsolete (they're not: if you're not a radical startup, please have a business plan).

One thing to remember is that VeriSign was originally an RSA spinoff, and helped define the role and requirements of today's certificate authorities.

Granted a lot has happened since then, including the CA unit's sale to Symantec, but I'd be very, very surprised if VeriSign/Symantec handled a breach in the totally incompetent manner DigiNotar has.

Long-term, it's becoming less of an issue anyway. The market is always spreading out, and the market share of the "big boys" will continue to shrink. More CAs means more possible breaches, of course, but it also reduces the wider cost of shutting down any single CA.

(Not that I don't agree that the CA system as currently constituted has issues, I just don't think VeriSign is the big problem.)
Definitely, whenever I have in the past talked to police officers (awesome parties ...) I always make sure to pull the door closed behind me. Then I am willing to have a chat. Usually it would come down to a "please keep the noise down, have a great evening" and we'd be set :-)
With a one-line segmented lcd display, I wouldn't care that it's flashable even if it ran linux. There's no way I'd get one.

The 12c I can somewhat understand. It has a niche; it's accepted on a bunch of financial-related exams where other more advanced calculators are banned, and many financial geeks can operate it instinctively. Common Finance operations accessible with one or two keystrokes, combined with RPN, make it invaluable even though modern calculators are far more expandable and capable than the 12c.

However, I see no place for the 15c. You could buy a HP 50g on amazon for the cost ($100) of the limited edition 15c.

In testing situations where the 50g is not allowed, there will be no need for numerical integration or matrix manipulation, so a cheap calculator like a HP 300s or TI 34 would be perfectly adequate at a small fraction of the cost.
Thank you very much.
Now I understand.

But this is aggravated by the SFPD's presence. Sounds like things went down like:

1) A group of people show up at his door in plain clothes.

2) Some of them identify as police officers.

3) They ask him about the iPhone 5 and he denies it.

4) They threaten him a bit and then ask him to allow a search of the premises.

5) Since, from his perspective, there are a bunch of police officers threatening the immigration status of his family, he consents.

6) Two people from the group (Apple employees) enter the premises and search for the iPhone. He assumes that they are police because they are all in plain clothes (no way to tell them apart without asking to each each badge).

Seems to me like the police used their muscle to strong-arm the guy, but then stopped short of doing the search themselves (because that would be illegal). Since the guy consented to the search, then there may not be anything illegal about the Apple employees performing the search.

This whole thing stinks:

* Sounds like the ex-police security guy that Apple hired got some of his buddies to use their badges to get him in the door.

* The police performed a search without technically performing a search.

* The Apple security employees impersonated police officers without technically impersonating police officers.

My take:

A bunch of police officers (and an ex-cop) were behaving badly on their off-hours and now the SFPD is going to go into CYA-mode. No charges will be brought. Nothing will happen to anyone. Maybe the Apple security guy will get dressed-down by his superiors for being so heavy-handed and causing bad press.

> but M & M are poor tools for spur-of-the-moment computation.

I don't really see how this is the case. The only advantage of a stand-alone calculator, now that I'm done with standardized test taking, is its portability. And when most of my work takes place in front of a computer anyway, I might as well just keep a copy of Mathematica humming so I can use it as soon as I need to do a calculation.

In fact, having to pull out a standalone calculator, turn it on, and adjust my frame of mind from "computer" to "standalone calculator" would probably be very bad for spur-of-the-moment calculations.
Maybe they didn't feel safe wiring the mechanism that physically opens the doors up to a network. If you can't access that system via the network then you definitely can't exploit it. It's the old "the only secure system is a disconnected one" mantra.

They can focus all their efforts protecting the other end.
Proper Security: Something you have and something you know.
I agree absolutely. It really irked me when the government took over Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac( FNMA, FHLMC). As a result, home prices remain ridiculously high given the record number of foreclosures and large numbers of mortgages "underwater".

As expected, government intervention has created obvious winners (the financial industry, people who buy too much home) and losers (almost everyone else) once again. I would prefer your solution.

But structuring the financial industry to prevent it from re-creating known problems is also necessary.

You listed Apple as an example of secretive as a marketing technique being a "great business decision". I can list HP as an example of transparency as a marketing technique being a "not so great business decision".

Why is that? bhorowitz's transparency was certainly not a marketing technique. From this we infer that there must be at least two types of transparency.

Being transparent with people who are with you, and being secretive with people who are not. ...I guess its not a coincidence that people share more with their closest ones than with house guests.

On another note, this article reminded me of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ricardo_Semler
He voluntarily let them search his home, right? Does it matter whether they were police or not?
This seems like a no brainer, especially partnering with a ubiquitous local retailer.

I am rarely home when the majority of the packages I order actually arrive in my city. If they were to send me an email asking me if I'll be home on the scheduled day of delivery, I'd be more than happy to let them know I'm not, to save them the trip of trying to deliver to me when I know I won't be home. This has always seemed like a major inefficiency in the courier system that I've always thought they would have eliminated. I just can't imagine that I am an outlier, do most other homes usually have someone home so its not worth sending out an email to check? Can anyone comment on this? I think about this problem every time I receive a package, it seems like such an obvious problem easily solved by technology.

I think you're the first person in this thread to really "get it".

To answer some of the parent's questions:

Q) Why would you buy it?

A) Because it's significantly less expensive (more within reach). Because it's Amazon, and it will have ready access to: music, movies, books, and an exemplary shopping experience for a wide variety of products. This experience will be well integrated with the device, and in the traditional Amazon way, everything will be extremely easy. "From the people that brought you 1-click purchasing."

Q) Is it just that it's cheaper?

A) You say "just that it's cheaper" as if that's insignificant. Did you see the way HP TouchPads flew off the shelves at $99? Do you know anyone smart enough, or with enough experience, to say that a properly priced Amazon Tablet won't fly off the shelves at half the cost of an iPad?

Q) Are developers going to want to build apps for it?

A) On a cached copy of their "Inside Amazon" page [1], they state: "Over 137 million active Amazon customer accounts". If I recall correctly, Steve jobs was proud of the fact that iTMS had over 100 million customers with credit cards on file. With 137 million active customers, they've got a massive base to which they can market.

We had plenty of conversations with many of these folks; I'm pretty sure that they had their questions answered and understood the business. I don't think there was a lingering resentment at a probably-forgotten request that was never mentioned again.

But in the course of those conversations, their reason for passing also became clear - generalizing across the group, they were used to more traditional investments like restaurants and real estate. Not coincidentally, investments for which a business plan is both a sensible and standard document. They passed because our profile (tech company swinging for the fences) wasn't the right fit for them.
Sigh. I emphasized "basically" precisely to avoid this discussion.
I don't have kids, but if I asked someone to take time out of their life to watch my children, I would insist that they receive something in exchange.

Well, nobody broke a law by entering after permission was given. But, they may have broken the law if they impersonated police officers (and how that law is drafted I do not know). They may also have broken the law (or, alternatively, the officers may face some penalty) for misuse of police resources -- I don't really know what kinds of rules there are about getting police to aid in private investigations, but I imagine there are some.

In any case, the person in question certainly didn't have to let these people in, and probably shouldn't have. But, it can be tough to justify refusing entry to the police if you think you haven't done anything wrong.
Apply for YC's next session.
If standing next to a plainclothes officer who identifies himself as police is considered impersonating a police officer something is wrong with the law.

It sounds sketchy but I doubt anyone broke the law here.
If you're curious about this, see Edward Glaeser's book Triumph of the City. Cities appear to promote knowledge dissemination and overflow better than other forms of living, which is why Manhattan rents have gone from basically reasonable in 1980 to insane today.
Beyond that I hope they have some better fonts on the Chromebooks.

I can't imagine what would one do with a ChromeOS VM when you have native Chrome builds available. Once the novelty factor wears out (and it does, pretty quickly), there is nothing to be done except delete the vm.

Otoh, I see the value in a secure device like the Chromebook and I think this is what ChromeOS is selling, not just the actual OS.

But you never know when you're going to be in a city, go to bar, meet someone who says something that gives you an idea that makes you go, "Hey, we should try doing that." And when you do it, suddenly you have an opportunity you wouldn't have had if you lived in a distant exurb.

Cities open more of what Steven Berlin Johnson calls "the adjacent possible" in Where Good Ideas Come From. As I said above, if you're interested in knowledge spillover effects promoted by cities, see Edward Glaeser's The Triumph of the City.

I've used and programmed an HP-15C, but it was a novelty even then, 22 years ago. I haven't used my HP-48GX since college. This reimagined 15C might be interesting if you could access the ARM CPU or there are extended features. I don't see any references to I/O though.

For practical interactive calculation I get a lot of use out of calc http://sourceforge.net/projects/calc/. It's algebraic, but I find that less error prone than RPN.
It means that GAE is horribly, amazingly, inefficient.

This. We always knew GAE was inefficient. There's no doubt about that. Serving 30 or 40 requests per second would spawn quite a few instances and start producing request errors.

This is a load a 4 year old machine could handle with ease.

Why did we put up with this? Because Google didn't make us pay for the crappiness -- the pricing made sense. You don't pay Ferrari prices for a slow car...and during a surge it scales up gracefully. Go from 30 rps to 1000 rps and it'll just work. An old machine co-located someplace won't do that.

Now under the new pricing gouge Google is making us pay for their inefficiencies. All appearances are that this is what this really costs (plus some reasonable markup)...well that's pretty piss poor. Because we're essentially paying to haul cargo in a Ferrari and it's dumb dumb dumb.

This approach is sometimes referred to elsewhere as Open-Book Management[1].

One key addition in full OBM is that staff are given basic training in management accounting -- ie, in reading financial statements and inferring performance from them.

This should fit the current enthusiasm for metrics perfectly. The three core financial statements (Income, Balance, Cashflow) are internationally-recognised metrics dashboards for business financial performance.

You can even build derived metrics (accounting ratios) to better understand particular parts of your business. And nothing stops you marrying those derived money metrics to your other metrics.

Basic accounting is really quite simple and illuminates a lot of business logic. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Tips to Cleaner, Healthier Teeth
Your smile is one of the most personal things about you, and it is important to take care of it.While many people dislike going to the dentist in Austin, biannual visits are incredibly beneficial for your teeth and greatly reduce your need for more in-depth dental work. One of the best ways to make the dentist experience more pleasant is by preparing in advance.

With that in mind, here are some tips that will help you better care for your teeth and reduce your chances of needing extensive dental work. While following them will increase the overall health of your teeth and reduce discomfort, you should still make an appointment to see an Austin cosmetic dentist twice a year.

1.If possible, brush at least twice a day. Brushing in the evening is good, but brushing every morning and every night will greatly reduce the buildup of plaque on your teeth. Plaque is a
biofilm that gathers on the surfaces of teeth,and while initially beneficial, it can harden into potentially dangerous tartar. Brushing often reduces your risk for developing tartar and additional dental health issues.

2.Brush your teeth longer. Many people treat brushing their teeth as an afterthought, just one
part of a regular routine. However, properly brushing your teeth takes about three minutes. While it may seem inconvenient and time-consuming now, proper brushing will greatly reduce your need for painful procedures.

3.Replace your brush regularly. Like everything else, toothbrushes wear out over time, and an old
brush is far less effective than a new one. A good rule of thumb is to trade out brushes every
three months.

4.Floss at least twice a week. While flossing every day is better, many people find it
uncomfortable and time-consuming. If possible, floss at least twice a week to remove the plaque
that builds up between the teeth and around the gums. This plaque may not be removed through
simple brushing, and flossing is often the best way to get rid of it.

5.Cut down on sweets and starchy foods. While most people know that sugars are bad for teeth, many don’t realize that other carbohydrates may be just as bad. Many dentists recommend waiting several hours between eating sugary snacks,and most discourage eating sugary snacks before bedtime, as sleep reduces the production of the saliva that breaks down sugars.

6.Don’t put off going to the dentist. People often associate going to the dentist with potentially painful fillings, crowns, and root canals. However, these procedures are only necessary when you don’t go to the dentist often enough. The major benefit of biannual dental appointments is prevention; regular cleanings check problems before they become true issues, and catching a cavity early is the difference between a small filling and a major procedure.

I for one cannot fathom the twisted thought process that went into that decision. It's a lookup table with a web front end!

If a stolen iPhone phones home that it is at particular house that very instant (or recently), is that probable cause to search the house without a warrant? If the officers think that the phone is likely to stop phoning home imminently, seems like the answer would be "yes," but these devices are so new I wonder if courts have ruled on it.

Perhaps slightly off topic, but I was in a similar situation recently (a replacement phone was overnighted from verizon via Fedex and my motorhome was not at an rv park). I don't know if it applies to your problem, but I discovered that many Fedex stores will allow you to use their service to ship packages to them for you to come and pick up, like general delivery for the USPS.
