Committee editing of blog posts is not a way to go. Blogs are good because they have a distinct point of view and voice. Group editing would have the effect of homogenizing the distinctive voices into something more bland like you find in

There's also the NACA project: http://code.google.com/p/naca/ A European company's IT staff built it over a period of several years, and it looks like a fairly impressive bit of engineering: http://media-tech.blogspot.com/2009/06/naca-pr

YC may also suffer from an embarrassment of riches, where they have more good startups than they have resources to fund.

If you don't take the time to start working with version control from the very beginning, you'll just give yourself bad habits that you will have to break later. Also, you run the risk of losing your code in the event of some catastrophe.

Seriously, do not quit your job UNTIL AFTER YOU HAVE YOUR KILLER IDEA!! Apologies for those who can't stand the all-caps. If you have a good job now, what you should do is move to a cheaper place to live and get your bills down to as low

You'd probably also be interested in the book Rogue Economics by Napoleoni. It discusses how the money from illicit activities are flowing around the world.

Then the Twestival SF organizers are flakes, and your friends who do the central coordination need to do a better job vetting their local organizers. Otherwise, your friends will earn themselves a bad name.

A system certainly has to map between the objects and the language of the customer problem down into computer science and software engineering concepts, but shouldn't that be down at the lower levels of your system? Top-level architecture

Most problem domains (or shall I more appropriately call them business domains?) have a small number of key abstractions that are crucial to understanding the domain. Coupling these abstractions with the right relationships between them is

This really depends. Is the purpose of your startup to make you financially independent for the rest of your life? Are you already set and are now wanting to try changing the world? Can you live in your parents' basement for a few years

This is old and incorrect. Adam Kennedy released the PPI module and has been working steadily on the Padre editor which is capable of refactoring Perl code as well as parsing it. Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/ PPI: http://search.cpan.

Saying you made a few phone calls does not constitute proof of anything. Dvorak put forward more evidence to support his claim than the author of the nextgov piece. Yeah, that claim is from the article, but are we supposed to simply take

If you're in business and finance, then you already know about the miracle of compound interest. Take at least $50K of your money ($75K would be better) and put it into any sort of interest-bearing account - stocks, bonds, government-backe

No, it won't replace HN. It would need good content and less fluff to start. Additionally, it would need a way to quickly scan through the article headlines without having to deal with article content so that you can more easily skip the
