oh, and you forgot to add:
Lots of chicks, as soon as you get out of the office.
If I wasn't under H1B stuff, I would consider moving in NYC, just for the dating scene is so awesome there.
Silicon Valley is like the dead sea in comparison.

"'Chicks'? You're such a man."
To answer both questions:
Yes, we are in stealth mode and our site is running in a rack 10 feet away from me. This may sound a little unusual but that's determined by the market/niche we are in.

Let me guess: high-frequency trading?
I assume your business model must not require "five 9's" of availability, or does your sunny loft actually have access to to some sort of a natural gas generator that doesn't require a fueling contract?
I have heard multiple stories of these "low overhead" operations of high frequency trading. They are making millions.
Makes me wonder if a large enough cluster of these operations trying out their (same) ingenious (simple, but effective) algorithm on the market would manipulate it enough to just feed into itself.
