I haven't, though it slightly rings a bell. I referred to the Wikipedia article on it and it reports a US pilot has just been filmed last month. I'll keep my eye on that one.

I thought using my full name as my user name would make it easier to meet the new community. I wonder if anyone actually reads it as Daniel_Ha. :) (you're welcome, Jawad)

I clicked 'reply' to recommend you an interview to start with, since I began reading out of order. But no need -- start from the beginning and work your way in. They're all gems. There's a nice introduction from pg himself too.

You definitely need a constant drive, but I don't think it has to be fear. The fear you should have is not being able to make rent or buy food. You should fear having to go back to your cubicle job or the lecture hall at school. Know that a

Not the best article, and this frankly this has been discussed to death. Still, I'll say it here too. There's not a bubble because this is not a fad wave. The iconic Web 2.0-style and buzz words will fade with time, but this is a natural ev

Yeah, the times that Moore's Law has "become irrelevant" are usually the same times that it has become as "applicable as ever." People just love to announce!

I definitely recommend FireBug. It is, as the article states, a dream extension for Firefox. After it becomes second nature to use, you'll wonder how you got by without it. (Probably quite fine, but the app is great!)

"perhaps it should only be accessible by top users [...]" Boy, I don't like that idea. I don't think content control will be a huge problem with YC News. We are all like-minded individuals here. The last thing we need is senseless aristocra

I don't think the lack of an idea patent is discouraging anyone from pursuing startups. If someone had a truly great idea, they would pursue it and patent the implementation. Ideas patent would just result in a patent for every trivial idea

Startup school replies just came in. Let's go ahead and decide that meeting place in Palo Alto. The school ends at 5:30, so we should all meet at 6 and discuss what we've learned.

I'll be there as well. I'm looking forward to meeting the lot of you. :) We have a meetup discussion going in here: http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=2757 It'd be great to meet the startup community "after school," so let's decide on

I'm not a fan of threaded nature of comments. It's done to faciliate exactly that -- commenting, and does not provide for a proper discussion environment. It's difficult to follow a discussion from start to finish when popular comments are

I think this should remain neutral. Ignoring a submissions DOES indicate its worthiness to a point, but sometimes things get missed. Only a true down-mod should degrade the submitter's reputation.

I can see where we're heading with this idea. You're right -- to gain noteriety (karma), a user could easily engage in submission abuse. Submit enough links and enough will get upmodded. Points, or karma, could be rewarded based off a ratio

"[...] constant flow of karma [...]" I like how you put it because I've always thought of "karma"-type points in social networks as money -- social currency. We want to stimulate the "economy" by having an active exchange of karma through t

What we need is more incentive for active discussion among topics instead of a flurry of ho-hum links. The community built around the "news" is the most compelling part of YC News. Incidently, the project I'm working on relates to this in m

One of the most compelling reasons to have a co-founder is the support and shared perseverance. You could be an absolute whiz programmer but that means nothing if you collapse under the pressure. When your company is in some trouble or you
