Probably just because of the larger number I'd say.

It does work in gmail. Jetstar, an Australian air travel company, uses this technique (IIRC) and it works fine in gmail.

Depends who owns the company you spend the $100k with.

They'd need to pay 30% tax on their income, leaving a net outlay by the government of $15k (15%) overall.

AFAIK, the tax is only applied when the value is realised (i.e. sold/liquidated).

I wouldn't have thought just holding bitcoins would be grounds for taxation.

Exactly, there was a strong amateur community with excellent content before ads were anything more than blogrolls and cross linking.

Without ads, maybe we lose some of the purely commercial sites, but I'm completely sure that strong communities will continue to exist without ads.

Seems to be licensed on a "per core" basis from Monotype.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but that makes no practical sense to me. Typography.com's model of per site licensing is much more understandable.

While I won't be downloading the data to my own server, I have no issue with others analysing it nor with reading analyses by those folks. Especially ones like this one, which is essentially anonymous.

As long as the action stops at analysis, and doesn't provide tools for others to easily go further, then that seems fine to me.

A focus on excessive procedure at the expense of real progress, unless there's a pressing need (like war), would be my guess too.

I use Mandrill with Mailpoet (wp plugin), and have nothing but good things to say about them.

You didn't ask, but we compared them with AWS, and the big problem with AWS was that we had to throttle our own SMTP output. Mandrill will rate limit for you.

How can you say you'd recommend them, when the only way you got any real support was via public shaming?

And for the account to be closed based on multi country logins, without any kind of verification with you, is absolutely insane.

Very cool! Any thoughts about making it two-way at some point? For example, make sure that every network is updated if you change your name or email address.

The purpose is the getting of the thing, or the being at the place.

The point is that not everything you do needs to have a _higher_ purpose.

If they're promoting such small numbers, I wonder if it's lack of interest rather than process issues.

And that focused the public's attention even more.

Thanks, this is going to be really handy!

Just curious, what do you use to create the docx in browser?

One is calendar (or financial) year, the other is a rolling 12 months from today.

That seems like treating the symptom, not the problem.

How will insurance or registration stop cyclists from getting hit by cars? It hasn't stopped cars from hitting each other.

I'm also a non-American, and it wasn't sarcasm.

I think the privileged label is overused these days (esp online), but the way I see it is that I've (apparently) got it slightly easier than a black person.

Doesn't mean I didn't work hard to achieve what I have, and my parents were fairly poor, but I didn't have other people looking at me and dismissing me because of my skin colour.

Some people are more "privileged" than me, some less.

It's a scale of difficulty, and people love to label and classify.

Thanks for your response mate. I'm not American, so it's hard for me to tell what's going on in your society. My parents were fairly poor, although they never really let us kids feel like it at the time. But yes we did have a computer at home.

I had some other comments, but the way you put this has really made me rethink them. I'll just say that if you make it to YC, then you're clearly doing something right.

So, as someone who is a privileged class of the majority (white, male, 25-49), what are the roadblocks?

If there's discrimination, isn't that purely the fault of the Y Combinator organisers (in this instance), and is this article then an admission that they've discriminated in the past?

So if mesh networks take off, and replace mobile internet for many people, are we going to see an increase in satellite and "traditional" mobile networking (3G, 4G, etc) prices?

How is that going to affect folks outside major metropolitan areas, since their coverage is effectively subsidised by the volume of city users?

Ah, thank you. I was under the impression that Medicaid was just another form of insurance, which would need to be paid for like normal insurance.

That sounds similar to Medicare (Australia), although I haven't had to use Medicare to pay for medications.

That certainly does make it seem like they're attempting to price gouge the government, because "they can afford to pay".

So if these people have no money or insurance, how does this benefit them at all?

Yeah, I love to collect data on my running, for example. But my point is I'd (and probably you would also) be doing it anyway, with or without the data.

The basis band you mention looks pretty cool though, going to check that out further.

Could you have done it without the band though?

Really like it, love the vision simulation too.

One small suggestion to improve: having an option to see all of the vision simulations at once would be incredibly useful.

I managed to run (sudo) mv /* /tmp one day.

I was trying to move everything out of a folder to tmp (mv ./* /tmp), which was fine. Then I cd to /, and, wanting to rerun the command I'd run right before the mv, pressed up twice and enter quickly...

Well, it failed once it finished moving /bin/mv to tmp. Of course cp, and a lot of other helpful commands come before mv alphabetically.

It wasn't too bad, just needed a boot from a live disc to move everything back, but I still get nervous whenever / and * are in the same command.

Thanks, that's a much more comprehensive article.
