A friend of mine attended last year. He described it as "the most socially awkward people you've ever met telling you how to be less socially awkward".

I've worked extensively with the FF guys as an entrepreneur, and from what I've seen they really live these values. The consumer internet startups FF funded were often intended to become something more than they turned into. Slide was suppo

My first major project was also a videogame. I made it almost ten years ago, and I still get fanmail about it once a month. I think creative people will create. http://marathonrubicon.com/

It makes me cringe, and I think it's because it's trying too hard to be cool. The obviously chosen backgrounds and ethnicities of the subjects, the "was recently cool, but not really anymore" choice of a pop song. In Apple's ads, the music

It's very feasible. I've been using mine for the past 2+ years. I also have a stool for when I get tired of walking.

I like your thinking, but I believe this would be more effectively approached from a position of greater leverage. One person's $10M helps LE research, but we could do a hundred times more if we instead collected $10 from 100M people. Why d

That's the question I'm trying to answer. I see the answer as having two parts: 1. More rigorously define what "improve" means. Beliefs about what an ideal world would be varies drastically between people and cultures. To avoid the "coloniz

The tax liability thing could be real. Has the company received a valuation in the time since you started working? Let's say that you took a series A with a 5M post-money valuation. Then, your 1% would show up on your tax returns as $50,000

I first met Dan at the little breakfast YC held for our newly-admitted class, right after interviews in May of 2008. I was so impressed with the strength of Dan's ideas, his natural charisma, and how much of a hustler he was. I still tell f

Not sure I agree with this. My startup (Frogmetrics, YC S07) hasn't tried to sound big or small. Our site focuses on the service we provide, in concrete language with a clean design. We don't try to sound bigger than we are, but we also don

Some clarifications: 1. We only used code from the guy who won, and he never saw the other submissions. 2. The interview project was time boxed to 24 hours. The guy who won did it in about 9 hours. The actual feature is big, and has lots of
