Great post. I'm reprinting this from my comment on the blog because I hope more HN peeps who are making the NYC/SV choice read this: Having recently moved from SV to NYC, I love how much more quickly I can get to startup offices and events.

Thanks for this incredible post. Having spent most of my coding days with server side languages, this opened my eyes to the art form that is front-end design.

A lot of people work with the startup digest. I'm one of them. When I saw that Venture Hacks wrote such an awesome post about us, I couldn't believe it, got really excited, and immediately up-voted it and added a really positive comment. Us

Matt, I'm reprinting my reply on your blog here: Duuuude, NO! Or at least, that's what I want to scream at you after reading this. But it is hard for me to refute your logic around investors. Of course, SV has a larger and older network. Ca

Thanks GFischer. Ya, I'm glad I ran my first draft by people first because they had no idea what I was talking with simulated annealing. I hope this final version does an OK job of explaining it.

Can one of the Wakemate people please respond? First off, I love this product. But before I click purchase, I want to know: how good of a proxy is the wrist accelerometer for brain wave activity? Someone else asked this already but I didn't
