I just received a job offer for a senior engineering position at a fairly early (working on series B) startup. For the equity (stock) they only list the number of shares I will receive, the cliff, and vesting schedule.How am I supposed to know the value of the shares? Should I ask them to disclose the total shares float, and what percentage of the total shares my equity is?

Maybe do a meetup, network, share ideas, and drown our sorrows with copious amounts of adult beverages?
Heads up, 'yum update' should upgrade you, if you are on 5.5. If yum update is not working, do a clean: 'yum clean all' then update.
I prefer this chat interface over convore.

Makes sense. Any idea ballpark what a trademark of a company name would cost in California?
Great info. What's you take on branding trademarks, such as my company name? Is this something I can do myself, or is a lawyer required? Is it even worth the time to trademark my company name? Thanks.
Thanks for pointing out the typos, fixed em up. Also, thanks for the feedback, you certainly have spot on comments. Writing marketing/copy text, is an art form, which I have not yet perfected, but still a work in progress.
Yeap, we will have a private beta with HN peps getting priority.
I stand corrected, but still feel Joyent is the major player at the table with four aces as of now. Plus, it will be interesting to see what salesforce.com does with the direction of Heroku.
Funny you should ask, this was actually a question that Robert Morris asked on my YC application. I don't view Heroku as a competitor. In fact, I believe they announced that they abandoned their node.js experimental hosting.
However, Joyent really has a leg up on node.js hosting, and seeing as they employ Ryan Dahl and just basically bought node.js, it could be difficult to gain market share, but I believe there is room for others to play.

Not since the advent of twilio.com.

I am looking for some capital to allow me to quit my 9-5 job, and work on my startup full time.I know most tech startups these days are going with angels, super-angels, and VC funding. It kinda-seems like every tech startup these days is drinking the angel/VC koolaid. The financing option I never hear about in technology and on YC, is a traditional bank small business loan.On first inspection...
Does anybody else think $1/Mo a zone/domain is high? Sure its nice that a million queries is only going to run you $0.50, but I suspect most people have a lot of domains, but little queries. Makes sense if you have a single domain, that gets a boat load of DNS requests, but if you have a lot of domains, with very little requests, its not cost effective.

I am looking to attend, will make the trip up from San Diego. Any word on who the speakers will be? Would be amazing to have Ryan. Certainly, let's do drinks or something with other HN peeps after.

Well, denial sucks, I admit that I feel like I got donkey kicked in the forhead, but, I must continue to push forward.At any rate, was awesome meeting everybody in my chat, and saw a lot of San Diego applicants. Let's do a San Diego YC denied meetup this weekend? Talk nerdy, drink some beers, and push forward with our dreams and ambitions. Maybe watch the Chargers win again?- Justin
Thanks to everybody that stopped by and chatted. Was great meeting everybody. - Justin
You are right sir. Doooah
Sorry about that, had to restart the application.

Tomorrow is the big day, where some fortunate applicants find out they have been given perhaps the opportunity of a life time to build their company with some of the smartest and well connected people in the valley.Let's live chat about our anxiety, questions, and fears for tomorrow. Have you gotten any questions
from staffers on your application?Look forward to seeing everybody...
There are some really good designs there, but I want something original and custom.
Thanks, have you personally used 99designs.com? A bit pricey, their cheapest price for a logo is $223.

Any good recommendations for a great logo designer? This is for our YC Winter 2011 business application. Thanks.
postmarkapp is a great SMTP service. We use them, and recommend highly.
