Sam, how young can they apply for YC? :)

I know this isn't the place for it, but when she said that, I just had to share. Give her a chance... time is on her side.

Totally agree.. and Marc is one of the best security engineers I know. I think we are all just to embarrassed (including the President) to admit it.

Every one of our customers who has access to our API demonstrates that the Ark (YC W12) API has much more data than FullContact's API. Send me an email and I'll hook you up.
Re:LinkedIn Neutered Rapportive Today on Thursday July 31, 2014 @12:50AM (#8112528)
Vibe just uses FullContact (see their FAQ) who's data is pretty incomplete.

Connect6 uses LeadFerret to power their plugin, which is even worse.

Haha. Midnox brothers are my favorite of the YCW2012 class.
Re:Salesforce.com Announces Two $1 Million Winning Teams for Hackathon on Monday December 02, 2013 @05:24PM (#6837023)
The issue is they specific said you can't start or use existing code before the date (still there in the rules PDF). I know that many very talented teams followed that rule even though theycould have used some of their older repos and did something even more impressive than Upshot. Then they respond to a forum question, weeks after the hackathon started, saying "yeah sure, just not a significant amount". Most programmers were heads down in their code and didn't check the forum. That's wrong and they did nothing to explain or correct this.

Yeah! The same Thom Kim who demo'd UPSHOT at Salesforce before the hackathon was even announced. :http://www.meetup.com/Salesforce-com-Integration-Analytics/e...
Re:Two Harvard University Alumni Win Salesforce $1M Hackathon Prize on Friday November 22, 2013 @12:51AM (#6779460)
I had a great time too. But it unfortunately does look they started Upshot (their startup) way before the hackathon was even announced.. pretty messed up: http://www.meetup.com/Salesforce-com-Integration-Analytics/e...

Ha. But it does mean "loop" or handle in Latin, and a bridge in chemistry. Now I know a new word in Finnish. :)

You can do that in secure ways too. We did that (another YC company) with Ark Mail:

Re:LinkedIn Intro: Doing the Impossible on iOS on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @07:33PM (#6602503)
Interesting hack. So since you inject that social info at the time of the email, that means if someone gets a new job, it will still show the old employer info / position in the older emails... right? What made you guys do this instead of your own mail app like Mailbox?
Re:LinkedIn Intro: Doing the Impossible on iOS on Wednesday October 23, 2013 @06:43PM (#6602263)
Ark does, and with significantly more data.

This website should definitely be part of the Dark Patterns UX Library. It's sad how people compose UX (and investors invest in) shady user experiences designed to trick people.

I gave them something much harder to break, but I guess they wanted anything to be able to break it.

Re:Why I'm quitting Facebook on Monday February 25, 2013 @08:44PM (#5283311)
Absolutely using it to sell books (at a high cost, btw, if he tries to get back on FB), but he brings up some interesting points. "It does things on our behalf when we're not even there."

But my favorite part is at the bottom where we are all invited to "like" CNN Opinions on...wait for it.. FB. You'd think he demand that they not have that below his article.
