Reality check: The actual verdict will probably be much lower than 100 years, given that this is his first arrest. http://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentence...

This is absolutely fantastic news for YC, their startups and the community as a whole. pg was a huge influence on me - I've read all of his essays, watched his talks and studied his comments on HN. I've learned so much about star

Why are there so many bad managers? Because it's really easy to be a bad manager and really hard to be a good one. Great management means empathizing with others, putting the team goals ahead of yourself and accepting the blame w

At one of my old jobs we were told that our Social Media specialist would be writing short snippets for us to post from our own social accounts as if we had written them. Normally I'm pretty causal in this area (I like talking about w

(Disclaimer: This is pure speculation) While I'm sure pg has his reasons for disliking an article generalizing the program he's built for most of the past decade, he may have wanted to say something almost as a method of damage

Interesting. That tidbit of information puts a whole new spin on the article. Slightly off-topic: Do a lot of companies end up hiring during YC? I thought that didn't happen.

I really like the timer concept here. Too often I've found that suggestion services just serve to further choice paralysis. The timer adds a time imperative that overrides my usual action of overanalyzing everything.

A big extra one is "Are you spending more time pitching your product than building it?" I myself have fallen into this trap in the past and see many others doing it on social media/meetups/etc. Yes, talking about your

This is a great move for YC. They've never been about making ludicrous amounts of money which is one reason they've been able to be so successful. I loved that they funded Watsi and agree wholeheartedly that non-profits can bene

The place I used to work at had a similar idea, just an incredibly poor execution. LocalOn has the right idea - local businesses are very skeptical of non-local companies especially startups. They're typically much more emotionally
