They didn’t get straight A’s because they couldn’t be bothered to give everything in every class. They concentrated on the ones that meant the most to them or on a single strong extracurricular passion or on projects that had nothing to do

College, after sophomore year, tends to be less about the classes and more about the people. Choose as many classes as you can solely based on the professor's character/infamy. Those people will inspire you and help you choose what is inter

Definitely interesting. Thanks for posting. I hope you can feel some good about the overall experience with Ars, and good luck with your next ventures.

All I can say is, congrats, PG, for making a place on the net important enough for people to invoke the first amendment.

Yeah, its inconsistencies like these in the article that make you question just how much of the article is a good depiction of Z and how much of it is just pure spite.

The real Aaron Greenspan? Can you give your analysis on the capabilities of the students surrounding Facebook at the time? They were probably all bright and talented, but did they have the drive, dedication, analytical skills, and abilities

Here's what I'm reading from the story - Mark Z. has an ambition to grow the company as large as the sky, and those around him didn't have the dedication, drive, or capacity to enact that dream. How do you deal with people who you start wit

I would say Storytelling Alice, but the scheduled release date for 3.0 is summer of next year. I've used Alice 2.0 and am satisfied with the experience, but the model library lacks if you're doing anything more than a nice neighborhood scen

These improvements sound great. .css, .attr, and .map were major bottlenecks in my performance, meaning a lot of JQuery functionality was just too costly to use (performance-wise). Now, I'll have to play around with JQuery to see if it's us

wow. now THAT is quite some change. Can you be more explicit in what changed you so much? I'm transitioning now from an INFP to an ENFP, but that's only because I've found some people who I can feel comfortable socializing with.

Yes, this is the gist of it. The other aspect is that he thinks there is only 1 type of source that's ok for information consumption, which is the type that spews out brilliance. All the other sources are worthless, including the people tha

Thanks, finally someone is pointing to real data rather than just waiving a magic wand in the air.

Google is the 'ahha' tool for introverts. Facebook is the 'ahha' tool for extroverts.

Just wondering - is anyone else seeing this as an entrepreneur opportunity? This seems to me to be more of a sense of dissatisfaction with the current (aesthetic, quality, speed, you-name-it) of the PC/laptop. The current mindset of the Win

I'm not sure if I'm disagreeing, but what I perceive from the essay is slightly different than your central point. For instance, if you titled the essay 'the inverse relationship between personal freedom and organization size', I don't thin

My mistake - I read the first two lines and that set the tone for the rest of the article. Those first two lines, though, have no relevance to the rest of the article. You can in no way argue that the lack of wealth (the definition of pover

I think we need to look at the landscape of the startup community. If you didn't have to grow to survive, then it would be fair to say that the goal is to create opportunities for people to 'live as they should'. However, the fact is that i

This is a woefully ignorant article that fails to include any piece of evidence to back up these claims. Take, for instance, many countries in Africa. What prevents these countries from not rising in the poverty ladder is not the lazy, dumb

At one point in time I tried to optimize my writing style like this... One other reason is that you have a touchy subject. Tell anyone they're doing the wrong thing (implicitly or unintentionally) and you'll get the same response. People ar

I thought you had friends who were willing to help you out... Take money from whoever you can - friends, families, and fools. You're not at the investor stage yet where people can eat you alive, and you can just refuse it if they try to. Ke

I think monetary transactions should stay out of hacker news because money attracts a crowd that is less than desirable and it is hard to keep them out. Also, I don't think opening it up for help is a good idea either. The only kind of help

The Fed is covering us - they just cut interest rates by 25 points to 3.25% and they issued a new lending policy for banks. Not like its going to help in the long run... The Fed is just delaying the date when the whole financial system cras

If entities were ever to become something big in the web, it isn't going to be by generating random links between entities and hoping that something useful comes out of it. If anything, someone has to see a useful link between 2 entities an

Instead of selling ideas, I think the person behind the idea is valuable. Some people have the gift of coming up with great ideas, or shaping existing ideas in a good direction. The evaluation of ideas and solving the details of an idea is
