If you're going to claim the numbers don't support the author's thesis, it would be helpful to provide accurate figures (or at least link to an article that does so).

Interesting! This is similar to what we're working on at threesat.com, though focusing on new grads. I'm an engineer myself, so the "advice" part is covered. My intuition is, you still have to charge companies rather th

+1 for (2). The other issue is, great mentors aren't usually plainly available on a website; the very act of finding their contact info/introduction and making a convincing pitch for "I'm worth meeting with" is a great filter for experts wh

[Shameless plug:] I'm giving an intro to meteor talk at Stanford tomorrow (Friday) at 5PM, in the Engineering (Huang) basement/hackerspace https://www.facebook.com/events/476872052366365/ . I'm planning to build a real-time multiplayer jav

[author of said advice] Sounds like you've got some experience with this - are there any particular places you'd recommend? When I was an intern in SF (2011), I lived in Glen Park, which was a half/hour bike ride/couple of BART stops away

If the best alternative to using your app is a free Google Voice number in your area code (and not $20/month to Time Warner), I don't think $10/month is something I would pay. I'd either find a way to make the pricing work, or (as suggeste

That is pretty darn helpful. Thanks Greg! You should write it up yourself, though: it's your knowledge, wouldn't be right having me take it. FWIW, my posts on sponsorship: Getting Awesome Sponsors (for college hackathons): http://alexeymk.

Hey Greg! Glad you liked the post. There were definitely some pretty cool ideas from the AngelHack I went to; I missed the walkie-talkies, which is a pretty nifty idea. I've also got a backlog of like 30 or 40 more hacks that I can write a

Appreciate the heads-up. I think partially this is third-party stuff loading and partially the lack of pagination. It's on my to-do to fix; thank you.

Cool! I was thinking of doing that. Where'd you get the startup names database, CrunchBase?

What I wish it was: honeypot for mindless RT-ers. What it actually was: I have no idea. Fixed.

Yep, Programming Pearls seems to agree with you - 'order-2' Markov chains are usually more natural than 'order-1' chains: http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/pearls/sec153.html .

Heh, agreed - it's definitely a mixed bag, that's what makes it fun. I've cut it off to a minimum of three character names since; that said, IMHO "C" is a pretty sweet name. Some of the names aren't so bad, though: Marin, Harker, Gacon... O

Heh, glad to know I'm not the only one! Seems like you have a far larger set of initial names, very cool.

Thanks! That's a useful solution; the Posterous importer I used added a permalink, IE "/path-to/original-post" in each post's header. Worked reasonably well.

overall, we did a lot of what you suggested at PennApps. I think the key is to provide an avenue for both types of hackers: if you want to stay up all night, we have Red Bull and late-night give-aways. If you want to sleep, we have a quiet

Precisely. Thank you for stating this concisely. I'll need to add it in at some point.
