Company morals, mission statements, constitutions etc are marketing material and not law. If the law requires a company to comply but their mission statement goes against this, the law will win every time.

Lavabit could do it because they were a small shop (under 10 employees). Do you really think Mozilla is going to pull the pin with over 1000 employees?

More likely would be that they relocate. But relocating over 1000 people would be a massive feat.

I'm really not sure why I'm being downvoted (or even killflagged). The Mozilla Foundation is a US based organisation and has no choice in the matter if the feds come knocking for PRISM signup.

I'm guessing Mozilla's Tor middle relays will soon be a part of PRISM

As a show of good faith, Groupon should write the Gnome Foundation a check for the remaining $12k (currently at $68k)

> I would be willing to wager that new models of laptops in 2020 with spinning disk will be uncommon

How about more like 2015. You're already forgetting MacbookAir/Chromebook/Ultrabook crowd are slowly taking over (which have no spinning disks).

French press makes coffee that's way over extracted. You can get a Hario v60 for like $10 and it will change your life (well, at least you coffee habits).

Even since moving to pour overs, I rarely go back to espresso. And this is from a 3-5 double espressos a day guy.

Next, try cold filter. Wow.

Not sure why cDc is on the front page on HN right now, but along the same vein, here's PLA (Phone Losers of America) and it looks like he's still going strong (even has a YouTube channel):

I wonder how many people stopped half way and searched for "GORUCK GR1".

Now I wonder if I just read a cool blog post with product placement.

I tried replying to your email, but it bounced because your mail server mandates STARTTLS. I have postfix with opportunistic enabled, so not sure where the problem is.

That is great.

If anyone knows of anything like this for set theory or probability/statistics, I would love to see them.

From the policy:

Some examples of ethical behavior we expect from founders are:

  * Not using misleading, illegal or dishonest sales tactics.

  * Not harassing any YC community member, employees, or anyone else.

  * Not behaving in a way that damages the reputation of his/her company or of YC.

  * Generally behaving in an upstanding way.

Looking at Avi's background:

  "Like at age 16 when my co-founder and I wrote
  one of the first Facebook scripts to mass-invite
  people on Facebook to events we threw. Or how while
  at YCombinator I hacked prototype day (To PG’s
  disapproval)"

I think YCombinator is starting to have issues with their filtering process.

If YCombinator don't kick these guys out, it's going to demonstrate that these all apologies are disingenuous and exist only for PR, and that that in the future the line to cross does is only imaginary.

That fine line is called the law. "Journalists" were thrown in jail for doing the same to celebrity/royalty voice mails.
