I've always looked at it as UI is a part of UX. The user interface is just that -- the interface to your site/application. The user interface incorporates the UI, but also includes how it feels to move throughout the UI and traverse and u

I'm not sure I understand the second engineering question... Would you mind clarifying a bit more? Thanks!

Whoa! I hadn't been on the site in ages. The design is nuts! I think it's beautiful, yes, but much less functional.

Yeah I actually have 3x750gb right now for media storage and a 500gb drive for OS. I get a performance boost from the RAID, and don't have it impact my OS. Ideally I would toss in another 500gb and RAID for performance on my main drive, b

Incorporate your site into the app. Generate a "site" controller and then populate the views for your main page with the site. Use the controller if you want anything to be dynamic. Then set your routes so that the root is site/index. "

I'm not a big Facebook fan by any means, but anyone who legit thinks Zuck is evil is being ridiculous. The kid is 26 years old, running a multi-billion dollar company. Like the article says, he was just a hacker trying to make something c

I would like to make the switch but am currently broke. I can get 2x2TB for the price of a 128GB SSD and RAID them. The price still doesn't justify the "snappiness" in my opinion since RAID'd drives provide a pretty good performance incre

Maybe some generous group of YC vets could put together a little club to review denied applications/companies and offer feedback? That could be beneficial to both YC and the founders.

They may be too busy focusing on other areas of business. If so, then definitely bring in someone else. However, I'm curious about your "not rocket science" comment. I've always generally agreed with you, but I've been watching a lot of t

The need-to-know basis is good, but defeats the purpose of having the shared database. If we could tier access, and grant permissions, then that might be a more viable option. I'll look into it. We can change our own passwords when an emp

I would say spend more time developing a solid prototype and use that time to find a co-founder. You can't be perfect and there has to be someone out there to compensate for your own weaknesses. With a good prototype, it should be much ea

ps: for more info -- We ended up finishing 2nd out of 211 businesses (from idea stage to operational). In the finals, we had investors offering us as much as $50,000 on the spot (which was the coolest feeling). We didn't accept any money

From someone who has interacted with a lot of investors trying to raise money and pitch a business I started with some friends, I can assure you that a lot of what people think makes a business is bullshit. We spent months and months buildi

Updated profile with a link to my blog. It's less of a fully thought out post and more of a rant/anecdote. Enjoy regardless :)

I wrote a blog post related to this yesterday. I agree with the author 100%. I can't remember how many times some business guy tried to pitch me on some stupid idea without an inkling of knowledge about programming or how the web works.

The notion of "another social network" doesn't really excite me at all. That being said, I do like the approach they're taking and if everyone just sat on their asses and didn't challenge the big guys, things would never change. The secur

I always was against them until I decided to grab a few on a whim to take on a solo drive to Orlando (16 hrs each way). I was surprised how easy to follow it was and really enjoyed it. I generally have thisweekin.com shows on while I work

From watching the video of him at TED, I don't think he got to expound on his ideas to the extent that they'd be done justice. The God Delusion does a fantastic job of showing how morality can be entirely derived from science, logic, and r

I actually have two friends who lack a sense of smell. It's something you really take for granted, but I spent a day just trying to imagine all the smells I smell and what the act of smelling those things did for me. Pretty eye opening.

Haha, I have played Bioshock. Twice. Incredible game in every sense: art, story, gameplay, etc. I still need to try the second. I picked up Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land on recommendation from a good friend, but I've yet to read

Hesse has come highly recommended. I added several of his books to my list of must-reads. I did a little research on Borges and think I'll have to read some of those stories. I think Unbearable Lightness of Being was recently adapted int

Really? I've read both (along with several other Vonnegut books), and I thought S5 was much more though provoking. Given how quickly his books read, I might have to reread Breakfast of Champions.

Every one of those is on my list :) I've read Watchmen, Everything is Illuminated, and Slaughterhouse Five. All were fantastic. The film adaptation of Everything is Illuminated was actually very good too.

Nice list! Several of those were on my "to read" list or I've already read. You should consider signing up at shelfari. It's a cool site for tracking the books you've read, own, want to read, etc. You can also maintain a nice list and sh
