You know when cybersecurity month is, right?
If I were standing in front of you, this would be a different article. Security awareness and education isn't something that can really be taught over the internet. At least not in any sort of effective way. It's something that you have to experience. That is to say — cybersecurity month isn't just October — it's every day…and sometimes, twice a day (or three).

What cybersecurity does the government actually use?
The news often presents a grim image of cybersecurity. We hear about the Edward Snowden leaks, the Heartbleed bug, and bulletproof hosting. Just last weekend we learned that spies used a fake Facebook server to inject viruses on to unknowing computers. These things might scare you or make you feel like our government isn't prepared for cyberwarfare and lacks the technology to protect its secrets from hackers.

Emylee's top 5 takeaways from startup season 4
The past month and a half have been great to me. I've gotten into Y Combinator, had two interviews with VC's and both went well. I've also managed to snag myself a few freelance gigs while I'm 'offseason'. Though startup season might be over for me, I wanted to take some time to reflect on my experience at YC and write a blog post about what you should expect if you make it into the program.

Are startup costs capitalized (or written off immediately)?
Startups are known to have many financial hurdles in the early days. The challenge of figuring out how to cover those costs before revenue becomes available is a common one. Writing off these costs may make for an easier short-term picture but there's more to that than meets the eye.
