um...the trends in both of those data sets can be attributed to increasing market share/user base of Gmail over that time.

Really? Have you read the piece (I believe it's in Surely You're Joking...) where Feynman gets evaluated by an Army psychologist? It reads very similarly to this.

I cannot explain how much you have hit the nail on the head. I graduated from college in May and have been having the exact experience you describe. My generation has been described as entitled. Quite frankly, I do feel as if I am owed

This is what happens when people make sarcasm the default voice when trying to make a point.

This is meaningless. There are no right or wrong reasons to be anything, no less an entrepreneur. It can be freestyle. Just one of the great things about it. If McClure is trying to lay out traits he seeks in people he invests in, that'

I'll grant you that xAuth is a little convoluted. With that said, Twitter deserves credit for being unprecedentedly accommodating and transparent during the transition away from basic auth. It is obviously in their best interest not to br

Snarkiness aside, it's a fair point. I'm a solo founder considering applying, and was wondering if any TechStars alumni can speak to this.

I'm still not sure I follow your reasoning. Admission to YC does not guarantee ramen-profitably nor does it preclude the possibility of earning a lot more.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you suggesting that older individuals are less willing to take financial risk? I agree with that, but where is your 30-40K number coming from?

My understanding is that most people do not apply to YC for the money

This point was raised when Gmail originally launched the feature. The problem is that it would essentially act as a read receipt, which is a privacy concern.

Might be worth noting that @user and #tag were conventions invented by users and later adopted by Twitter itself

Yes, all things being equal, the idea itself could impose an upper limit on success.

I get that recommendations are a big deal. But YouTube itself already DOES have recommendations, on the home page if you're logged in! If a service like this catches on, YouTube could replace it overnight, especially as they have data on w

I don't mean to be too discouraging, but I really don't understand the point of this as a business. It seems like something that anybody could code in about five minutes, and YouTube itself has started to add playlist functionality.

It's a cool idea. I think pigeonholing it as a business networking tool might detract from a lot of other potential use cases. Some comments on the execution: 1) I don't understand why it uses FB Connect but still forced me to enter a nam

Very misleading title. From the article: "arrays absorb 96 percent of incident sunlight at a single wavelength." Sunlight is hardly monochromatic, and is in fact spread out over a very broad spectrum. More specifically, these cells can o

No, I wasn't joking but thanks for your edifying and interesting response. I guess my stereotype of how the record biz works involves a lot more micromanaging/execs dictating every move and decision the artist makes.

This is highly off-topic but I can't really think of a better place to solicit feedback for this idea: The more I think about it, the more I'm interested in the implications of a YC-style investment model for promising young bands. E.g. id
