I paid to expedite ($79 or so) and it was worth it. Also did startuplister for $25 and got a total of 450 sign ups for MorphMail.

It depends on the app...if it is a game for teens, a dating app, or a social network you need much bigger numbers. If it is a financial planning app for billionaires under 30, you have the whole market already on your waiting list.

That reminds me of something that happened at the movie theater when I went to see Hunger Games. There was a couple with a small child maybe 5 years old. They asked what Hunger Games was about and the employee said it was about a bunch of t

HN itself doesn't make any money, but it serves as a community that attracts people who apply for YC, and in turn generate returns (similar to the playground at a McDonalds). There are other startup accelerators that don't have a

Follow up - what stops you, as a candidate, from discussing this upfront? It makes you look greedy. I am greedy, but it's bad form to appear that way. In the same way you want sex on the first date, but you can't make that known

YC companies have been particularly bad at this in my experience. At least 5 times I have replied to job postings on HN, sending my resume and completing puzzles correctly, and not once have I even gotten an acknowledgement. I would love a

I wish more companies would be transparent about salary ranges in job postings (e.g. more like CyberCoders - http://www.cybercoders.com/search/?searchterms=php&searchloc... ). It is a waste of time going through the

It depends on the app. If it's something like Flappy Bird, you won't have much in the way of expenses. If it's something more substantial, you might need to hire designers and developers to build the app and make it usable. Y

I feel like the tax code needs a much bigger overhaul than anyone has proposed. For example, AGI should be weighTed relative to cost of living. A couple living in San Francisco or LA filing jointly and earning $210k doesn't qualify for

A skilled driver could move the truck to a freeway, get out, and then let automation take over. Then at the other end the truck could stop and let a driver climb in and drive off the freeway and onto trickier surface roads. An autonomous
