Right. All equity sold until this triggers takes a haircut. This is especially weird if the 1.5% is taken post-money: companies will want to trigger the conversion as soon as they …

Clearly you think "post-YC" investments are a good deal, and I agree in aggregate. But the problem is that they can always be a better deal and some companies will be better than o…

This may greatly change incentives for YC. I've always thought being an LP in YC would be fantastic because of the valuation bump companies get on demo day. Let's say a company cou…

And even at 10,000 records, you're probably better off pre-loading them as json on the client and avoiding the server request altogether.

This is incredibly important. For all the really impassioned conversation about the broken state of US politics (on HN and elsewhere), the Mayday PAC is one of the very few legitim…

All I hear about is how no one can find (good) engineers. I had dinner with a friend last night complaining that this is killing his company's growth...but they only make offers to…

I've been working on this exactly for a couple months with a similar dataset, and will clearly now bring in the medicare data. Email me (jparker165@gmail.com) if anyone wants to le…

Nice, I've gotten close to building this exact data flow from scratch and it was not fun. You're just missing step 6 ("-> Present"). I'd build some really simple jquery datatables …

Home-grown systems deserve a place in this discussion as well. For my point I'll break up analytics into halves: (1) collection and storage of data (2) analysis and presentation Sp…
