Reddit is in San Francisco, not NYC (startup and tech company compensation is lower in NYC, despite the higher cost of living).
Relocation and severance are table stakes in SF/Silicon Valley. It's not clear whether the relocation will be enough for a family (maybe for a 20 something single person) and they don't appear to be going beyond that.
Actually most tech companies here in SF & Silicon Valley (I saw that you're in Arlington, VA) are MUCH more generous with severance, decision and relocation period.
Agreed, it wasn't until I watched his How to Start a Startup videos I understood how much he relies on platitudes, cliches and hackneyed notions from Paul Graham to "advise" startups. Needless to say he never mentioned Loopt nor any actual successful influence he's had on startups during his tenure at YC, it was all just earlier startups (Airbnb, Dropbox) that outpaced his own. Sad to see remote workers suffer in the same of his celebrity.
"Gestures feel like a broken record" - What do you mean by this? This is the first time we've seen this numbers publicly, I'm not sure how you're already tired of them. Having the facts is valuable, sitting and waiting to "see what happens next" is not.
100% better than Yelp's homepage (almost by definition, location/review portals need to pack in a lot of information on their homepages, which can be a turn off for silicon valley ui designers). This homepage feels like Virgin America's compared to United's.
I use a MacBook, iPhone and an Android phone to work. Self-reporting on vanity details beyond this just doesn't feel right.
