This is a really good post but it is disappointing that nowhere in the post it mentions Chris Dixon's post on this: http://cdixon.org/2010/01/03/the-next-big-thing-will-start-o...

This isn't something that is forced. All of these are planned from the beginning. Frontier -> Homestead -> Metropolis -> Serenity.

This isn't correct, you can actually fund the Filecoin ICO with cash(USD), BTC, and also ETH[1] as long as you are an accredited investor.

Where do you get that 10% from?
From the article...
"Google doesn’t break out revenues from its cloud infrastructure, choosing to lump it in with other non-advertising businesses like hardware and Google Play sales. But that segment totaled $3.4 billion in sales in the most recent quarter."
Assuming that all $3.4 billion is for cloud revenue last quarter, that is still less than 10% for last quarter ($400m/4 = $100m).

For Authentication, it will be cool to have something like Twitter Digits(https://get.digits.com/) or Facebook Account Kit(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/accountkit), which is basically SMS authentication without password.

Under "Your own fork of Rails", you will see how it actually works. The answer to your question is "no, they don't store 3 copies of the same repo".

Yes, Square Cash is beautiful but I don't agree with you that the app is elegant and effortless.
3 annoying parts about the app:
- lack of built-in calculator, the Venmo's bulit-in calculator makes it really easy to calculate the split between friends.
- constant prompt for security code in order to pay someone.
- expired requests, there should be a way for me to see all the requests instead of going to each friend page to see the request.

How liquid YC equity is?
I assume that by getting google stock, someone can sell them easily in the public market. But how does it work with YC equity?
