very true. I was a math major in college, and many of the problems that I had to solve in combinatorics (through quite elaborate manipulation) turned out to have rather conceptually-simple and elegant solutions by calculus.

I have two cats, and they show good judgment on what plants they nibble on. They only show interests in the grass that I grow for them (in general any kind of grains, e.g. wheat, barley, etc.), and they never touched my other house plants.

I place quite a bit of importance on cover letters. Cover letters that are concise and clear and professional don't come up often, and are always highly appreciated. Well written cover letters and resumes also correlate highly with the

I concur. Last night I spent 30min trying to change the setting of my house heater. It's a Bosch heater, and one of the better quality brands. My! It bemuses how they could have gotten the UX so bad. It has only a handful of simple fun

this is a very interesting move by YC. I can't wait to see if the "YC methodology" will work in China's startup scene. China's startup culture is notably different from Silicon Valley.

with 93 billion dollars, one can, say, invest in all reasonably promising startups in the world continuously for, say 10 years, perhaps? And a couple of them will turn out to be Facebook/Google. (I have no data at hand to back that up,
