I see your point. But apologies if this sounds insensitive as I am not American and I am not privy to the social complexities that exists. What I think is that as budding entrepreneurs all trying to figure out some method from this madness,

I really don't think YC cares about ethnicity. I also don't quite get the point of this post.

Am I the only guy who doesn't get it? What's the value add here? What problem is being solved?

I think it looks sexy :) Why won't you mention your 200 hours? Conversation killer with the chicks?

Well my point was more that Instagram exposed enough data such that RJ Metrics were able to get access to enough information to extrapolate the cohort retention rates.

Wow, they completely exposed their data set. Don't see many companies giving away cohort retention details like this.

Nice to see another person take the leap! Us wannabe hackers gotta stick together :) Good luck on your own endeavour as well! My initial blog was actually on tumblr as well but it was annoying that you had to get a plugin for comments so I

Oh yeah, its been fun. The learning curve can be pretty daunting at times but that's what its all about. I think having fun is an important part of it, so it seems like you enjoy this process of learning as thats definitely a good sign. Do

I'm kinda in the same boat. I've been blogging about my 'turning hacker' journey at http://pragmaticstartup.wordpress.com . You might find it helpful. I've got some posts on learning Python and why I chose Python as well which might be int

I did and I like to talk?

Like what melling said, if you need convincing, you're probably not in the right state of mind. Personal experience, I just fucking did it. No talk, no post on HN on whether I should or not. A little less conversation a little more action p

Ask HN: I made a shitty little app. Whats the best way to host it?

My previous startup targeted teens so I think I can contribute to this discussion. Contrary to popular belief, most teenagers are not whiz kids early adopters. The most important thing for them is to fit and to do so, they go where everyone

Are you learning more at your present job or do you think you were learning more at GS?

No offense and I don't know your background or association with Goldmans but this sounds like a kneejerk reaction to populist sentiment. The existence of practices that goes on at Goldmans and every other IB is a symptom of a deeper underly

Based on your reasons, it sounds like while you found the job exciting and cool, you didn't like the culture. So you went with your gut and made the call to reject the offer. For most people, that is a very acceptable reason to justify to y

How about pooling together cash and hiring a freelancer to do #2 as another option. Just out of curiousity, how big is your 'group' and what's the role assignment like? Who's going to be doing what? The reason I ask this is because it sound

Nice job on the self learning part. Not sure about interrupting my video viewing experience. Maybe have that option at the end of the video or pop up subtly in the middle somewhere.

I think you should totally go for it if you get the chance. I cold emailed startups and wrote very personalised (albeit long winded) cover letters. If you objective is to learn, you really have to make that point shine through because there
