i didn't imply anything of the sort... actually that's specifically why i chose the word "money" and not a word like "wealth", it's the skeptic in you that assumes people mean money=happiness ;)

"the androgynous figure has arbitrarily promised not to make humor out of referring to itself any longer. given the assumption that the 'blank stare' is funny, the promise has been broken and regret sets in."

Not sure if you did it on purpose, but your double negative is the converse of my sentiment. Do I think YC is capable of making poor selections?...Absolutely.

Well you are ignoring half of the potential problem. Even smart people have different opinions: what if an applicant thinks someone you chose to read their application is naive (or worse, an idiot)? Also seems just plain fair that applicant

While I personally don't have a problem with this, I can fathom how some would. What about (1) announcing who is reading and (2) allowing applicants to specify who should NOT read their application. Just a thought, there should probably be

I think what he's working on and his age is truly impressive. I do however have to agree that the wording actually makes it less impressive than it is and more like a fake plug.

I was surprised, despite the laziness, that the Twitter interview was so good. Their articulation of the realization that they did NOT want to be the kings of podcasting was eye-opening to me, maybe it was old news to others.

being 15 feet and one wall away from someone who's rented space specifically to work is VERY different from 100+ feet and many walls away from a home during the daytime...

It's a neat idea, but I doubt it would work well because the hand value in this context is so qualitative (whereas in HU LHE it would be more quantitative.)

Certainly a fun thing to ruminate over, but the model Matt uses here is way too simplistic to draw any conclusions from about the sufficiency of using a NN. A short stack raising >11% when he shouldn't be is a pretty severe leak ;) Just

Phenomenal video. The ideas are definitely interesting, but I am amazed at the clarity of the presentation.

I studied Cope's book and synthetic music in college. His Chopin pieces on the surface kind of sound like a Chopin piece, but when you look at the underlying forms the complexity just isn't there. Musicologists can consistently identify th

dude, this debate is not "going away" because it's grey. abortion at 8 months 29 days is undoubtedly murder. abortion at 8 months 28 days is undoubtedly murder. Now work backwards, when is it no longer murder?
