"Graham suggests that if one reputable venture firm were
to break this non-spoken 20% Series A agreement, the best
startups would instantly flock to that firm. “It’s going
to happen,” Graham says. “You might as well anticipate it
and look bold.”"

pg,

Any plans on using the collective attractiveness of YC to help push that 20% stake down? e.g. would you talk to a lot of the startups in the current batch about collectively sticking to a lower percentage like 15% to get the ball rolling in the direction of the new funding landscape?

It seems like YC companies keep raising larger and larger rounds, oftentimes more money than they really need for 18 months of runway. With that in mind, the logical thing to do is to collectively help them give up less equity to get back to 18 months of runway.
I can't even see the track now.
Yeah OK it's overblown, but the point is the guy should never have been charged with anything. For its decades of bad behavior, BofA deserves a great deal more public criticism than it has received. However, when prosecutors are so obviously its puppets, it's no wonder BofA is so rarely charged with fraud, etc. Public criticism, even when it takes the form of chalking public sidewalks, is a basic right that is guaranteed to the people of the USA.

This seems like a convoluted way of addressing the issue, and I'm not really sure to whom this article is addressed.

Is it to people already in product / service development? If so, it's far too verbose an example. If it's not, it's far too vague; the direct tie is not drawn back to development in order to adequately complete the analogy.
Just an unrelated question. What blogging platform is this. I've been seeing a lot of blogs with this same style. Does anyone know.
I don't think shorter terms would work. Obama backpedaling on all his initial campaign promises didn't prevent him from getting re-elected. Representatives in the House only have 2 year terms but the highest incumbency rates. I think the main issue is the two-party system. It puts people into this "lesser of two evils" mentality which, surprise, results in some form of evil always persisting.
Maybe I humbly suggest, or be pointed to the search function in this product?
I would say it depends where you want to get a job. I think most start-ups would weigh you having a kick ass GitHub profile more than a Zend certificate. If you don't have that, then that's what you should work on. If you do already have that, and you have both money and time to spend on getting the Zend certificate, then go ahead and get it. It's an accomplishment and will only help you. Not much to lose. Also don't be afraid to look into cisco certificate, which may not be directly related to the job your applying for, but look really good on a resume and can give you a better overhead picture.

I thought we couldn't run routines in parellel yet. Per:

'The Go runtime environment for App Engine provides full support for goroutines, but not for parallel execution: goroutines are scheduled onto a single operating system thread. This single-thread restriction may be lifted in future versions. Multiple requests may be handled concurrently by a given instance.' [1]

The response has been fairly positive in general, and it's great to see that some of the bugs have already been fixed!

All Mayhem developers are using Debian, and our cluster is running Debian as well. We've been using it happily for years. That's why we chose to analyze it first. I believe we will also have an impact on other distributions since bugs are getting fixed upstream.

Soylent is Looking for Makers
Soylent has just finished a successful crowdfunding campaign in which we raised almost $800,000. Before we can launch our new food product, we need to test iterations of the product with our Beta users. Beta users are friends and family that we feel comfortable distributing to until we can have a fully operational FDA approved facility.

We are looking for one person to come to our facility in Oakland M-F for about 5 hours in the afternoon to handmake Soylent. You will be trained to make it properly. You will be paid $20 an hour for your time.

We are definitely looking for people that think they can help Soylent in the long run. When we switch to manufacturing Soylent in August, we will determine if we want to bring you on full time as an employee to work on another part of the business.

Please submit your interest to jobs [at] soylent (dot) me living in the bay area with reliable access to Oakland is a must! Our facility is two blocks away from BART.

Thank you for reading this post and we look forward to working with you on the future of nutrition!

Theoretically one piece of it is now cross-platform, however the core functionality only works on one platform, and actually seems explicitly engineered to be incompatible with the Ubuntu computer I have hooked up to the TV in my living room.

This is a pretty disappointing move, since I'm pretty sure Netflix will never run on that computer, and Netflix doesn't care.
Netflix is indeed using some slippery and perhaps contradictory wording that has passed through at least one marketing filter.

Although we may interpret "premium" to connote "better", the usage meaning "something you have to pay" is accurate.

Perhaps we could take back the language and start referring to the extensions as "Media Fee Extensions"?
Its always struck me as odd that Germans seem to be so hot on privacy but seem fine with having mandatory ID cards and with the police being able to demand you show it.
The term UX no longer possesses meaning. As soon as graphic designers just started adding UX to their resumes it was dead. The broad definition eloquently described in the very well designed blog post was nice, but far too general. Like saying Hollandaise tastes buttery. True but incomplete.

I'm going to start asking every designer I interview who has UX tacked on their resume like a piece of flair to diagram out a complex user interaction on a white board. In part because I want to enact the ritual hazing that is white board interviews on others, in part because I believe it has potential to distinguish hollandaise from mayonaise.
It's interesting that the only defense the USG can muster in this debacle is their insistence that there are policies in place to prevent abuse.

Policies change when governments change, so every time there are US senate elections[1] or US presidential elections[2] then it'll be a chance that we irrevocably move further down the dark road of totalitarianism.

If there's anything to do to remedy this situation, it's talk to your congressional representative. Gerrymandering may have made that a pointless task, but it's just the first step towards freedom.

"I have known the media to be irresponsible at times, but this represents a new low."

Actually, I doubt that. I'm willing to concede that it has become more prevalent recently, but it seems more likely that this level of irresponsibility has always been present in the media to some degree.
That description is misleading. All it means is that one go routine is executing at the same time between all requests. Up to 10 requests can be processing on any go instance. However, most of the time the go routines are just waiting for data to come back. Hence, we can fire up a bunch of go routines to do some work. It's the parallel vs concurrent stuff that Rob Pike has spoke about before. go app engine isn't parallel, but it is concurrent.
Much of their "analysis" relates to security.

If the "signal to noise ratio" is such a problem in the intelligence field, it seems funny to raise the noise floor as high as possible by spying indiscriminately on millions of random Americans.

* Would rather always over communicate than under (respecting the 'maker schedule', of course)

* Make sure you are always aware of what your team mates are working on - not because you don't trust them, but so you know they are always spending time on higher priority things. A daily scrum - even over a skype call or text based chat can help set clear priorities. Should be part of process for any remote team so its not at end of day that you now time was wasted.
Yeah. It read like our beloved pg dumbed down to a Forbes puff piece level. Which kind of puts it at the business nerd equivalent of celebrity gossip for those not seriously interested in VC and startups. Such things can be a little painful to read if you're a startup nerd rather than a mainstream business nerd - not because it's wrong, but because it's shallow to us.

I wonder what impact it'll really have, though? Most people aren't in any position to ever deal with VC from either end, except at a far distance. And the VCs and startups are plenty aware of the situation already.
Depends on use case. If you have websites that only publish every couple of weeks (or several times a year), you want some sort of subscription to not miss what they have to say (e.g. new version announcement).
I think a better question to ask is what is reasonable and fair to expect my country to do on my behalf.

I'm all for the USG to try to improve the position economically and politically in the world so long as they respect certain bounds of decency while doing so. Spying the the politicians and citizens of other countries in order to gain advantage is not decent or fair, the same way you wouldn't want your boss or your co-workers to spy on you to keep you from a raise or promotion.

The US, China, Russia and the UK are among the biggest sociopaths insofar as countries interacting with other countries go. I'm not proud of that, and I would hope we could meet with other countries and their leaders on a fair playing field and discuss things as adults instead or resorting to bullying.

Is Microsoft really releasing a new version of IE with support for only 2 major (8.1, 8.2, etc are just service packs anyway) versions of Windows back?

The EU, which Germany is a major part of, passed the Data Retention Directive [0] in 2006.

That directive required every state in the EU to pass laws that all their citizens telecommunications metadata would be stored for at least 6 months, and often more, up to 2 years.

As I understand it, this means all 'metadata' is required to be stored, including the source and destination for every phonecall and text message, including cell location for cellphones, and information mapping IPs to users for web+email (and perhaps also the source and destination of every e-mail; but I'm not certain about that?). I believe that the data is stored by service providers, and only passed to law enforcement in the context of a particular investigation in theory (in the Irish implementation, a court order is not required to access an individual's records; a request from a high ranking law enforcement officer or tax official is enough). But its all collected and stored.

Maybe that's a sufficiently big difference that warrants the EU retention laws not being mentioned in this article? But it seems to me that they should still be part of this narrative.

There have been challenges to the EU directive, and countries dragging their heels about implementing it. But, by and large, it is an established part of EU law.

I don't know a lot about this area, but I feel that an understanding of existing European data retention laws seems to be missing from the coverage of the European reaction to the US data collection issues.

Components were very successful with Visual Basic, but (despite the C# description[1]) haven't really been front and center in languages and operating systems.

No, he/she is saying that "average" is a poor metric to represent the totality of the samples. This is particularly true when you have such a high standard deviation.

By eliminating some of the biggest outliers, you're reducing the standard deviation, thus making the average metric more representative.

You'd also have to disregard the companies with very low or no value, but it seems this was already done in PG's original statement: "Of the 285 _that have_ valuations..."

That's quite interesting and enlightening; although the lesson this case seems to be 'beware of the company you keep' since he ended up getting the blame for the poor ecological stewardship and greed of the inn on whose land the event took place.

I'm struck by this quote:
Economically speaking, I profited handsomely from the destruction of the media as we knew it. The rest of the world did not make out so well, and society certainly got the worse end of the bargain. The decentralization of media got off to a promising start, but like so many other half-baked revolutions, it never fulfilled its early promise. In its present form, social media may be doing more harm than good.

I think this is rather true. Although there was stupid tabloid media long before social media came along, it's increasingly become the norm on the internet. I know a little of how he feels as I spent years trumpeting the idea f public comments on newspaper articles and so on....and now I use Stylebot to hide them from me, because 99% of what's written in news article comments is hideously stupid. Rather than elevating society, the internet and social media has basically digitized the mob and given everyone a megaphone.
