Names are out there, but you just have to be a bit more creative about picking them. You also need to be a bit more flexible about what you're willing to accept in having a domain that 'has bad spelling' or other quirks.

Releasing more data would just give the competition something else to copy. Instead, YC could build a 'one click' application process and patent it. Seriously though, YCombinator could always franchise their system. That way, they at leas

Sure Linux just works... but your presentations on a shiny Mac Book Pro will be all the slicker than a boring old Ubuntu Dell. Besides, not staring at an ugly UI all day has its advantages as do the rest of the Mac productivity features.

Most of these 'junk loans' that were made to borrowers with bad credit were resold on the stock market to third parties. The fact that lenders 1) didn't have to suffer the consequences of making bad loans and 2) financially profited from m

Well, the main problem with this essay is that sometimes mocking someone's argument is the best way to disagree with it. The parody of PG's last essay on having a boss was highly effective at this: http://www.jsequeira.com/blog/2008/03/24

You would think that the parents would have enrolled the child in some sort of self defense class or program. Teaching the kid how to defend himself from the bullies would have been the most effective way to handle the situation.

If what you make on your own time is related to the business your company is in, then there's a good chance they can lay claim to your idea. So if you're working for UPS and have an idea for a revolutionary package tracking system, you pro

It's kind of silly to try and lump Python in with Ruby. Ruby's sold itself on how easy it makes web development and how you don't have to learn very much to be productive with the language. To use Python you need to know a fair bit about
