   My take away from this: wear and love every hat in the company (janitor, investor, engineer, CFO etc), and stay healthy and focused.

    Is the cup concrete? I'm having an discussion with #sthatipamala and #ericz - I'm pretty sure it's fake, as it looks like the guys fingers are depressing into the foam.

    I hear a lot of people that say "I have a huge idea, I can't tell you about it." In most cases, they really haven't thought it through, and it has many flaws. Execution. Execution. Execution.

    Notes play on key-UP, rather than down, so that might one cause of the delay.

    Please don't post useless quotes from TC on here. That TC post has no actual content, discussion or information aside from a year-old quote.

    Check your facts. They turned $166M in funding (as of Dec 2010) into $760M in revenue for 2010. How the hell is $1B in funding in Jan 2011 going to retroactively affect revenue in 2010??

    Constructive criticism: Changing color when I hover over the "Dive In" button is ok. But why change the color of the entire box when I hover over a non-link text area? That doesn't make sense. I'd probably reword the text to give more hints

    Three points: 1.) Don't use the advice here to make a decision. It's all based on personal situations that probably differ from yours. Read it with a grain of salt. 2.) Always have a backup plan or two. So if you leave school, make sure you

    How many times have you built something cool/had a cool idea that you show your friends? Everytime. I still think this is a good product, I'm just pointing out the importance of WHO/HOW to get meaningful people to pay. This + adwords target

    This works for some startups, but not all. More importantly, WHO those five are is very important. I could get five best friends to give me five dollars. That's meaningless in evaluating your idea.

    Looking forward to "YC Makes Yummier Primordial Soup." The comparison of the 90s to today got me started on a conversation about why the web industry is the one odd-ball tech industry where barriers of entry are abnormally low, cost of tech

    As a result of centralizing the servers, everything in the stadium now operates on one system and one network Awesome! So you mean there is now one single Point of Failure? Brilliant.

    How is this a sign of a bubble? Offering a $100k purse to a startup is not unheard of (see TC Disrupt etc.) This is actually worse that those prizes since its an _investment_ and not free cash.
