Not a YC-specific question, but I was wondering what advice you have for someone who lives outside of a major technology center and doesn't have the ability to move? I'm eager to get something started here in the next year but I'm pretty much on my own, thanks!
Very cool, love the layout generator! There's also http://buttons.cm/ for non-image buttons and http://backgrounds.cm/ for background images, both are cross-client compatible (even with our friend Outlook!).
I've always loved content for content's sake, and seen design as a nice to have rather than an absolute necessity. HN is one of my favorite sites because it has highly targeted content, a large pool of contributors, and a wonderful forum of discussion.
One of my biggest issues with Tumblr is the way they handle analytics. If you don't spend a couple minutes ahead of time setting up filters, you end up seeing all your own visits to a ton of admin pages like edit, themes, new and a few others. They make it pretty hard to accurately track your metrics.
This is great, thanks for the insight jbail. I want to clarify using an example (not using real numbers):
I am granted 100k options at exercise price of $0.10, so the total amount it would cost me would be $10k to purchase them. The company is sold with shares being valued at $10 each.
I spend $10,000 purchasing the shares, which then I would see a return of $990,000?
