Good point! I'm not a CS guy, just (barely) a hacker, so I always forget about that, and I don't have any contacts there. I just thought this would be the laziest option, and since this morning, I already have a couple good people who rep

I can see that you've been here longer, and you have a lot more karma than me (I can't even downvote stories yet). But, I just recently switched from reddit to HN and I am very hopeful that it will not end up like reddit. So, with all due

Quality travel information on the web is not even that good, in general, for an average web surfer. Type anything like "Hawaii hotels" into google and you're slammed with websites filled with ads. Or even add "reviews" to your search and

I found reddit in mid-2006 when I was searching for widgets (or whatever they were called) for "My Yahoo" page. Without that I probably would have never foundit. So, I am very thankful that it was listed in the top 10 or 20 of their widge

Well, I'm very glad that he responded so quickly. I was so excited to see something sort of like YC in Seattle but I was worried about the whole very-similar-application thing. I am glad to hear that he just really admires the YC program

Well, his linkedin.com profile has about 400 connections, and I've got about 5 or 6 people linking us, so I know he is a real person who has real connections and real startups. Judy's Book had a huge following, and I have seen him in the l

Well, since I didn't apply to YC, I didn't know the application... and the current app is gone from the YC site. But, here's a previous YC app: http://ycombinator.com/s7app.txt It is a bit disturbing that he took everything exactly... ev

hey guys, chill out. Is the application the same as YC? (It is not currently posted on YC, so I don't know). Other than the unattributed copying of the YC application... This seems like a totally different deal. He's not just giving a ti

Why not enter the search market again? A9 had some cool features... and it would be fun to access that type of data via EC2.

I checked the site... Do they only provide an API or can we actually download the data? It looks like they charge money for NASDAQ and NYSE. It does seem like a stretch to call it open if they charge money and only provide an API.

I didn't know you killed stuff... how often do you do that? (I'm new here, I've been on reddit since 2006 or so. As I'm sure you know, they seem to be very reluctant to ever remove links).
