At last. I've made my MBP repaired previously. Fortunately, it was still under warranty, and I did not paid anything. OTOH, I had the feeling that the same problem might occur in future. This program with 4 yrs coverage, is a must.
Arguments are fairly weak. I think saying "It’s certainly not far-fetched to suppose that a group like ISIS, for example, could acquire A.I. capabilities." is almost equal to saying they could acquire F-22 fighters or B-2 bombers as well. Developing sophisticated AI-based integrated weapon system is not that easy.
AFAIK, AL asks confirmation only if an entry is related to -that- company/person/etc. You might add -your- project (i assume not related to your employer) some how as if it is related to your employer.
We have experimented Deis (deis.io) and Marathon (of Mesos). Both provide all requirements for service composition and load balancing. I personally find Deis more simple to use where Mesos is like Rambo for managing infrastructure.
I don't agree with author's conclusion, having a server in a chinese ISP does not mean it's orchestrated by chinese gov. Also, I don't suppose MITM attack organizers have no clue about how TTL works.
Then, why implicitly stating that "some" rejected applicants were bad persons? Why not simply saying "we did not invest because we don't think it will succeed."
JL somehow implies that, rejected applicants of YC might have a "character" problem. So why to sound it so loud? YC might invest or not, but saying "some" applicants were rejected because they were bad persons is different than saying YC is not investing for not specific reasons (as PG said that couple of times). The judgement is not objective, so keep it to yourself, otherwise, you might raise a flag about others rejected.
My own two cents: it's a very unfortunate blog post.
1) As mentioned few times here, "cultural variations" can not be handled as such, unless you have a special training on this -which I don't read so -.
2) It's totally a back pusher on applicants, if someone says "I see through you, and tell if you're evil", I say, "no thanks, have a nice day with your corporate culture". Indeed, I'm not considering to apply YC with this attitude. (Therefore, I'm not good, possibly caught by JL-radar)
3) Regarding 2, I think YC became too picky, so they're starting to sound these -nonsense- ideas to cutoff pouring applications.
