I'm thinking of switching to Finance from CS. I'm all the way across the world but I think you may have some valuable advice. Can you -- or anyone here in similar position -- share your email?

I've once heard PG say that if you are an international startup, an important question is who will stay with the company back in your home country in your absence during the YC period. My founder and I would obviously both love to be t

You can become better at this by doing it a lot. Every time a situation presents itself where you can try to convince someone of something, try to do it just for the heck of it. Most people evade these situations, but if you keep at it, it

It's kind of sad to see pg stepping down, but I'm sure sama will do a great job. Should we expect any fundamental changes in the way things get done at YC?

You're right, so I sought out and acquired a lot of information to make sure I'm doing anything too stupid.

I got my current mindset after reading many books, articles, pg essays, talking to people and so on. When you become obsessed with something you suck in all the information about the subject out there. I wish I could just show them a '

I thought so, thanks man :)

by mion 13y ago
I guess they don't, a more disciplined way of doing things could solve the problem. I see, thanks for the tip!

by mion 13y ago
Maybe too. But I guess I didn't explain it well enough for the sake of brevity. What I mean is, when you do the startup thing, you may end up neglecting certain things, in my case collge. How do you let them know that you're not w

Meaning you wasted a shit ton of time trying to prove something obvious :)

Thus rendering the theory rather "useless". What some people are trying to do by attempting to prove N = NP (and this is the main source of criticism), is to find a way to "hack" nature.

by mion 13y ago
This is why I said intuition . What I meant is that N = NP would suggest, for instance, that the amount of effort needed to appreciate a brilliant piece of music (e.g. Mozart, not any music) is in the same "space" of the amount o

by mion 13y ago
Agreed, it is bit sensationalist. But what if someone proves it and then we realize that even though it can be done in polynomial time, there's some other constraint (like "x^N but N has to be super big") that renders the res

by mion 13y ago
The best intuition I've read that P = NP can't possibly turn out to be true, is that if it were, you could write a piece of music as easily as you could appreciate it. Also, I can't imagine the answer to something as fundamen

I'm not a woman, nor did I read the entire project description, but it's worth noting that most successful Kickstarters featured a nice, high quality video with playful music. You could borrow one of those nice DSLR cameras from a

The jokes are so accurate I'd conjecture there's a huge intersection between the two communities. Huumm... Except the fact that, arguably, I don't normally conjecture outside HN [1]. [1] I actually want to see what pg has got

I think the title is somewhat misleading, maybe "What We Teach at Hacker School" would be more democratically accurate. This is a list of acquired skills, i.e. not fundamental. I think the only fundamental quality of a good prog

Thanks a lot for the feedback! My goal is to make a tool you would use to quickly prototype 2D games that involve physics (eg: Angry birds). Hmmm I see, I'll make sure to change the commands' instructions. Defaults would be cool,
