I thought she said it wasn't a Y-Combinator company that had this happen to them.

Ah, doh. I didn't see the talk (was trying to find parking for 45min before giving up and just watching online. I really hate the Stanford campus.)
Pro-tip for next time - park in Palo Alto or somewhere near the free shuttle [1] and bus it to campus. Or pack a bike.

Wow. I wish I'd known about that! Thanks.
I gave up and parked in a restricted zone. No ticket!
Many ticket zones are also only enforced mon-fri.
I had thought this was the case, but all the restricted zones I saw were open, so I thought it might be for a reason. But after going up 4 floors I decided to ponder instead the effects of herd mentality. As it turns out, you exit through the top anyway :)
Same.

Small sample size but I have a feeling they take it easy on tickets on days like today. Stanford isn't some broke municipality looking to maximize ticket revenue.
