Great advice! You sound like you have a lot of experience in server security.

What is your recommendation on strong passwords? Also, should all passwords on a system be different (login passwords for different servers, email passwords, etc...), and if so, how do you keep track of all of them?

Thanks

What if you can't disable root login (i.e. it's a cloud server)?

Thanks for creating this and open-sourcing this great app!

One question: Does aggregates.html work? I can see that metrics are being recorded in mongodb, but it does not load the js properly to display the hourly, daily, and weekly metrics. I can get everything else to work fine (in index.html). Thanks!

Is there any way to gain practice on negotiation? As an entrepreneur, are there any resources on the internet where you can "practice"?

The only thing I can think of is playing poker or something at the casino...

What do you mean by runway?

Could someone help me run the numbers? What will $150,000 be used for on an average YC startup?

$150,000 will allow the startup to hire 1 or 2 engineers in the short-term. Is that the real use of the $150,000?

What other expenses do they spend good money on?

Another way to look at this question: If you were a new startup in YC, what would you spend the 150,000 on?

It looks really cool!, but I don't understand how it is a 24 hour shot. It just looks like a tiny planet with a house on top. Could somebody please explain the image?

(The description by the author in the post is complicated)

There are many cities in the county of San Diego. The city of San Diego (where you are suggesting that the 200k number came from) is about 10-20% of the size of the county of San Diego.

They should make the size of the bubble smaller to only cover the area of the city like you are saying.

The statistics on this infographic are misleading. It does not cost 200,000 to buy a house in San Diego or San Jose!

Maybe the average for downtown San Jose and San Diego are close to 200k, but that is the poorest area of both cities and not what should be used to compare. The green bubble on the point for San Diego should be much much smaller in radius(like miniscule), otherwise you think the 200k number refers to the entire city!

People should not be using this to make informed decisions (obviously).

I agree. Generally, "desperate" means taking any (reasonable) job offer you can get.

I wish there were more people like Mister Rogers.

You can't help but feel better about the world after listening to this video.

With the 200+ million gmail email addresses that Google has access to, Google can instantly become a major competitor to Groupon & LivingSocial assuming a certain percentage of gmail users agree to try it.

It seems that each large internet company has its own deals site now: Google with Google Offers, Amazon with LivingSocial, eBay with Groupon, and Facebook seems to be developing its own type of daily-deals advertising.

I wonder what Apple and Microsoft will do. Both of them probably have something in the works....
