I think it's worth pointing out that this is a new law which has been in effect for just over a month

I hope you don't mind if I don't weep for the billion dollar VC's that encourage others to "move fast," but are unable to respond to changes in the law.

If only they had enough money to hire a lawyer!

This law didn't suddenly materialize overnight last month. No laws do. It was in the works for months, perhaps longer.

All companies are responsible for keeping tabs on legislation that may affect them. From the corner doughnut shop to billion-dollar startup incubators.

That Ycombinator missed this says something is wrong behind the curtain.
