Fat Tire is good and New Belgium is a very interesting brewery because of their environmental efforts. http://www.newbelgium.com/sustainability2.php Hacking beer is fun, but I'm not sure what the best hacker beer would be...

While it's very true that privileged parents/school connections help some students tremendously, good science is still good science. Anyone with a good research idea that can execute well will be able to go pretty far in the competitions.

For a complete newbie, the Zelle book is probably even better. I think it is called "An Introduction to Computer Science Using Python." MIT and a few other schools use it now, but it is a very gentle introduction. HTDP.org is also really

You guys are talking past each other. One of you is talking about a standard in the true sense (such as an ANSI Standard, which Lisp has in spades) and one of you is talking about a canonical/standardIZED IMPLEMENTATION (which Lisp doesn't

I would recommend going for the non-geek community ("normal people") 99 times out of 100. Basically, go for real people as customers unless you're selling a bug-tracking app or tech news app or something else that is only pertinent to geek

SBCL or Clojure, depending on your problem domain and your experience. I would personally not use PLT/MzScheme or Arc for the type of projects I work on, but there are obviously people who do use them in production settings. I think you c

I think people are assuming that he is working on a startup exactly like they are (the same equity structure, type of business, roles, etc.) The author really isn't very clear about what he contributes or how anything is structured. I'll

1. You usually DO get caught. 2. There are ALWAYS more effective things for you to to do than forging positive customer feedback...

I like the idea of 'trendcasting' with a social element enought to have invested in the area repeatedly, so I was intrigued by your post. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in your implementation as it is now. I'm sure my criticisms are bi

I think domain tasting is going away for everyone because of new ICANN rules...

Really? As bad as InterNIC? I stopped using DirectNIC only because of their prices. I liked them well enough, but with 600+ domains it was getting rather expensive. I've had some great domains, and never experienced any domain sniping wi

Most school charge roughly 50% of regular tuition rates to audit a course (attend lectures without earning credits.) They will usually allow you to complete all the coursework and get feedback as part of the auditing arrangement. Getting

This must have been REPRINTED in 2007, right? Nobody has used GCL in years, as far as I know.

I brought a (semi-novelty) product to market that used aerogels. We were slightly profitable, but the fact that aerogels are irritants derailed our plans for millions. [Our product lost essentially all of its appeal because you either had

"Breaking the cycle and giving people a purpose in life, embracing them, can make a difference" This article doesn't remind me of the gang stuff in Freakonomics so much as it reminds me of a bonus feature on the "Sicko" DVD. Michael Moore

I would say that open-source is a "long road" for financial institutions, in general, even if it is not for rational reasons. They are concerned about crooks finding vulnerabilities they can exploit in open codebases, for example, and they

My comment wasn't intended to be mean-spirited. I just couldn't resist the 'gay' and 'planing' bait, that's all ;-) I certainly don't expect all YC readers to be native English speakers. I did try to be helpful (AMQP/RabbitMQ suggestion),

Yes, darling, and you can be more FABULOUS too! I think maybe you could start jetting (it's an accelerated version of planing) to compete with big companies by leveraging open-source finance messaging products like RabbitMQ instead of start

I'm just skimming the article right now, but I hit a couple tiny errors that stopped my reading flow. For example: "The only people who eat what humans were actually designed to eat are [a?] few Birkenstock-wearing weirdos in Berkeley."

I think a great name is very valuable and should be protected with a trademark if you can do so and you have the funds. (If your company name sounds like a Teletubbie's name, don't bother. Instead work on coming up with a better name.) T

Is anyone here using Scala in a production environment? We've had to start using Java (ick) on some projects and I would love to be able to target the JVM and use Java libraries without actually having to code in Java. Just like a few hun

[This is one of Dee Hock's favorite tricks to play on an audience. "How many of you recognize this?" he asks, holding out his own Visa card. Every hand in the room goes up. "Now," Hock says, "how many of you can tell me who owns it, where i
