   I don't think this is a fair generalization. It might be correct to say 'many people think they want expensive things'. I for one think you can keep your cedar floors and fancy wine. Maybe I'm just young but I really don

   I'm fairly young but my experiences with open offices have been that they are more distracting, but it's possibile to minimize the distractions with headphones. It's difficult for me to listen to music while working so I use

    I think another perspective is that credit card support is a good back compatible solution. If people are using their devices to store payment information then it's not very far fetched to imagine other types of wallets/credit rep

    It's going to be really interesting to see what intersections look like once we no longer allow human drivers behind the wheel. We can only hope this will happen during our lifetime.

    I think it's also a great deal for first time founders and people who aren't all that familiar with startup funding. $120k for 7% is a lot clearer than $17k + $80k for 7% + converted shares no cap no discount. I also think this is

    I'm aware. I've started a company in school and my team is interviewing for this batch. The company came out of an idea for a product, and YC seems like a way to accelerate our growth. At the end of the day I'm going to work

    I'm trying to help my parents understand why Y Combinator is worthwhile even if I fail, not only because it is more relevant to what I want to do (start a company) but also because it would allow me to gain skills that could be useful

    I agree completely. I'm curious how recruiters view it because my parents think the risk is so much that they adamantly advised me against applying to YC (and still adamantly oppose me interviewing). I'm interested in starting a c

    This is something I'm 100% behind. As a developer who works integrating with point of sales systems this is an industry ripe for disruption. The pain of integrating is killing innovation in retail. Whether it will be open source or som

    I'm hoping this has to do with a change in policy in regards to these types of issues, but I'm skeptical. It could just be an anomaly. We need a major tech company like Apple to take a stand against these types of lawsuits before

    I think it's odd that tech people are comparing this to the Big Bang theory. Big Bang theory dumbs down all of the jokes at the expense of not conveying a genuine culture. This is why it is massively successful in the general populatio

    I really hate when people default to percentages to display data for incredibly small sample sizes. I know by the very nature of the data there is not that much individual information available but the sample size is 41 companies. Really?
