What you say is literally not true, unless that bit of text was selling for $1000: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#506 Further, YC is protected by DMCA safe harbor provisions.

Slate is more mainstream than HN, but not mainstream. Forbes is a better example of mainstream reach, but also the risk: the Forbes audience is not a quality content crowd, it's an infotainment filler crowd, and infotainment is cheap these

Because Waldorf is great, or because children from rich families that pay for private school tend to be intelligent?

Why do you think the place for noncomforists is in an institution ? Why would they want to attend an institution ?

This post, so far down the page, is why HN needs Reddit's feature of collapsing flamewars under highly voted flamebait posts.

I don't understand your distinction between tiers. Plenty of schools just placate students and cash tuition checks. Top tier competitive admission schools would be the ones with most students in lone to fill the seats.

If you went to a to a tier university you wouldn't have this problem. There are plenty of advanced courses to start with, and none of them are "Programming in X".

You are deeply missing the difficulty. If a kid would listen to reason or threat, this problems would never existing. Or worse, he could rationally know the profit in evil.

I don't think kids who torture cats are the heroes of change you are looking for, though.
