Ask HN: Is agency work respected in the Bay Area?
As a developer or technical manager, is it damaging to your career to work for an agency as opposed to a product company?

Take a look at the Zencoder (YC W10) API: http://zencoder.com/en/
It's since been acquired by Brightcove. [Disclaimer: I work there.]

Your view was Einstein's view articulated in the 1935-1936 EPR Paradox paper. It proved that you need either local, real, hidden variables to account for quantum entanglement or FTL communication between particles was necessary--widely believed to be in violation of special relativity.
Bell's inequality paper in 1964 proved that the predictions of a local reality system and a quantum entanglement system are in fact different for certain polarization experiments.
Subsequent experimentation proved the two theories to be mutually exclusive and results back up FTL communication. An FTL mechanism has not been found experimentally, however we know that special relativity is not violated because quantum uncertainty prevents information from being transmitted via entanglement at FTL speeds.
