Nice! It'd be helpful if one could check the column headers for the things you need to treat, and then the list is filtered for what is effective against those :)
Getting loads of core services out into third parties is really wonderful for logging. E.g. if email sending happens in Mandrill, then you never need to write decent logging calls for that and you have a reliable source of truth!
YC's focus is long term. Great products over long term require real compassion for your users. User-screwing acquisitions are usually acquihires and low return.

There are two separate parts to this: One is admitting people you deem most likely to succeed. The second is reaching out, enthusing and supporting people from a wide range of backgrounds so that they apply and know how to be successful. This is a good approach, the alternative is positive discrimination.
We're getting some good ones together - a lot of content is confidential, so we cannot share the befores often. If you look on our splash page you can see some of the sketches in the background - we'll get a better examples page soon :)
It depends on the client. For a lot of dense content, just getting a strong grid structure into its alignment and regularising the design helps. We always advise to have a medium amount of content on the slide, some of our clients ask us to break down slides into multiple slides to help.
Hi!
It depends on the level of design service you require - we're getting the VGI type tasks to a fairly low cost base, however many clients want a much higher level of design than VGI would provide.
We're building a solution for this including scrambling key information and company identity from work. We work on a client by client basis to make sure that what we have in place meets their needs - often NDAs work very well.
