Except the problem with a 50/50 split is that it's rigid and you both need to be contributing equally all the time , which will never, ever be the case. I guess I'm just a little unclear on how you can define clearly what a "60/40" worklo

Seconded. When we go on cruises, my wife spends more time haggling over a ring than we've ever done on a house or a car.

And since each has its merits, you decided to choose based on compensation I can think of a handful of companies off the top of my head that would immediately rescind the offer if you made this proclamation. I'd be careful about doing so.

While I agree with the premise that voicemails that provide no additional information are not useful, the author is an elitist jerk. That being said, callers generally have no idea if you aren't answering because you're not near your phone,

Have you considered whether you're following a fantasy? Maybe you should seek advice from someone you trust who doesn't drink the HN/TechCrunch Kool-Aid. Somehow I doubt you were rejected from YC due to lack of effort.

Did you read the entire article? Nobody knows how many natural short sleepers are out there. "There aren't nearly as many as there are people who think they're short sleepers," says Daniel J. Buysse, a psychiatrist at the University of Pit

Not so sure about that. http://www.paulgraham.com/startuphubs.html And if, as nearly everyone who knows agrees, startups are better off in Silicon Valley than Boston, then they're better off in Silicon Valley than everywhere else too.

For many years, MIT had no operating systems course. In the fall of 2002, Frans Kaashoek, Josh Cates, and Emil Sit created a new, experimental course (6.097)... That seems pretty shocking, unless they meant in name only. What was the next

Based on previous discussions, I think it's done intentionally to reflect a pivot (away from airbeds).

Great read, it's nice to see non-founders that are so enthralled with their jobs. Off-topic, though: All of our early press had evaporated, it turned out nobody actually wanted to broadcast their lives, and we really had no idea what to do

I think many of the people posting in defense of Boston are doing so without the benefit of history. In fact, the lack of any references to 128 pretty much guarantees it. Here's a little story: In the mid-70s and 80s, if you wanted to do so

There's a phrase that goes something along the lines of, "The worst employees are the most loyal." While it's interesting to see how things worked out with that employer, I can't help but wonder whether it was really intentional, or whether

I wonder if this is a sign that YC is admitting too many startups and that the company-advisor ratio has fallen out of whack. This space is extremely crowded, and a lot of companies are already doing it very well (and cheaper).
