They were NYU students. if you don't know NYU, that means they were overwhelmingly likely to be fucking loaded. But I don't know them so one can't say for sure.

- adgar 14y ago> It's hilariously inaccurate to say that NYU students are loaded. First of all, I said "overwhelmingly likely" to be loaded. And I guess we're at an impasse until one of us takes the time to get the raw data. Because I know you're dead wrong, and you know I'm dead wrong. I do know that nearly half the students these days don't need any help AT ALL. And just being able to drop the over $60,000/year to the school alone for four consecutive years would imply "loaded" to me, and well, every sane American. And not all the rest of the other half are drowning in student loans - the distribution doesn't break down into "drowning" and "loaded". Also, keep in mind the ridiculous cost of living in Manhattan. NYU students, relative to the rest of the colleges and universities in America, are rich as shit. Compare NYU to Harvard and say they're broke. Don't compare NYU to nearly any state school and say that. Of course plenty of students get financial aid there. I never said they don't. But do you really think it's more likely that 4 college buddies who can drop everything they're doing with a cool pipe dream idea but no talent (source: the code they themselves produced) - you think those guys were in the bottom quintile that are drowning, not the upper half that can pay full tuition with no assistance? From my view, you're kidding yourself, likely because of the attractiveness of the "scrappy startup" image.
