I'm mentoring a few people learning Python, and I wanted to quickly evaluate LearnStreet and decide whether to recommend it. With Codecademy I could do that, here I cannot. So Codecademy it is. Skipping is a really important feature for tho

Knowing the author's other writing (which is, by the way, very recommended), I would think he isn't trying to say "look how wrong we went, lets make things smaller again" but instead "look how fun that was, but come on, those days are over.

I'd link to the video itself, but I wanted to write commentary on what's so amazing about it and the FAQ instructed me to blog about it and link to the blog. If this is considered bad form, tell me and I'll resubmit the video only.

It would be fun for a few moments (for boys), but that's it. Geeks are people who tend to stay OUT of the really stupid ego matches, which is what it would become. Geek girls I've talked to, like every other girl, naturally understand that

Hello, Aur Saraf again. "Either you didn't read the article carefully or have not used the site." I've read the article very carefully, which is not to be said on the way you read my comment: By asking for an invite, I expose the fact that

Good day. No. Do you? I don't think that a club only made up of "hot people" is any less of a meat market, especially since females tend to pay very little attention to physical attractiveness compared to other qualities (men DO tend to jud

Hello. I am Aur Saraf. And I don't like this. Why? Because flirting is about communication. Perhaps it's the journalist's mistake, but it seems like communication plays secondary role here to a currency based trading system. Is that a way t

Hello. I am Aur Saraf. Social skills are learnable. Very learnable. I believe that every geek should submit himself to a crash course in social skills (to a level where he can control a room in a party). It's really not that hard. The prob

Hello, I am Aur Saraf. Early French Gendarmes earned their bread capturing criminals and charging the populace for the service (as freelancer professionals, not employees of the government). That model worked for them. Could it work for We

Hello. My name is Aur Saraf. No, this won't happen. We're drifting AWAY form that, not TOWARD it, in the last 50 years. And yet, a revolution in education WILL come. Some day, someone WILL figure out that generic schools are stupid and wi

Hello. My name is Aur Saraf. If you want to change the world, you have two ways to do it: 1) By force - in this case, don't do it. Waste of energy on anti-productivity. 2) By creating something people REALLY REALLY want (like your examples)

I am Aur Saraf. YC can be scaled to any size very simply. So simply, in fact, that had I met the criteria, I'd ask Paul to sponsor me in setting up YC Israel. YC can be scaled by both growing and duplication (creating copies that operate i
