Just to clarify, because you're incorporated you need a lawyer present even at small claims court?

"And, in a scene reminiscent of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," 15 percent of suspicious bosses said they drove by the employee's house or apartment." That must be one important employee if the boss is taking time out of their day to follow up

I agree with your sentiment that you should consider the motivations of the author (in any writing really), but it seems like they've done a pretty fair job of analyzing the data. I think the 12.4x marriage rate is slightly misleading, beca

All the integrated apps seem like a cool idea. The big Ad on the right is a huge turnoff though. Just what I want in email, American Express spam... just like snail mail... It looks like they could make better use of the blank space in th

"Here is my problem. I am a junior in college now, and I have no idea with regards to what I want to do." I don't have a lot of advice, but I'm fairly certain that this is extremely normal, so don't get too down on yourself about it. At le

Even out of context, a couple of those aren't really creepy.

How about turning it in to a startup community gathering place? YC benefits: Instead of just receiving a lot of apps from the area from people you never heard of, you'd be able to get to know them for months before they apply; It'd help yo

"there are 5,057 janitors in the U.S. with Ph.D.’s, other doctorates, or professional degrees." So, the titles wrong. Professional degree != Ph.D. right?

I agree, but if you're trying to get someone to buy something from you, you don't tell them to take a look at some clutter. freecycle sounds happy, the products are free, you're doing good by recycling. clutterbin sounds like a bunch of cl

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's good for people looking to get rid of clutter, but what person is going to want to go and buy some clutter?

"Why would a university incite you to drop out of it? What does the university gain from that?" Well, I'm sure they wouldn't incite you to do it, but look how much Harvard has gotten from Facebook, even with the founders dropping out. They'

I don't mean to be cynical, but when I go to that site and see the blue color scheme with that logo, I start imagining cold, frigid, freezing, wintry... It's just not the feelings that make me want to sign up and share memories with friends

Isn't this basically the "grade students to produce a bell curve" vs "if a students produces A quality work, they get an A" argument?

Very very cool. A couple problems though. For terms with spaces in them it creates a tag for each word. For example "stack overflow" has tags for "stack" and "overflow", which aren't all that useful (although yes the tag stackoverflow is

The article reminded me of that book too. GG&S's explanation would be that the environment for certain regions of the world produces technology a lot faster than other regions. So yeah if one region was tech. advanced 1000 years ago th

"Every minute you avoid spending in a meeting is a minute you can get real work done instead." I'm probably being a bit too nitpicky but this statement stuck out to me. Two sentences before that the author tells you to do x instead of havi

If you're working on your startup presumably you're passionate about it. You'll be less prone to burnout if you're passionate about what you're doing. 10 hours working in a corporation are brutal. You might not even be satiated working 10

Maybe I'm missing the point of the article but... "A minimalist lifestyle does not make you a better person. But it may make you happier." I would argue that if you're a happier person, you are a better person. So if a minimalist lifestyl

I would hope not. It's been one of the biggest complaints about facebook. If you're starting a social network I would hope you'd be prepared for competition from facebook.

Man, those percentages in the chart at the end are really whacky. Someone making $75,000/year pays a higher % tax their entire life than someone making $200,000/year? Someone making $20,000/year (at 30) pays almost twice the % as someone m

"Anyone on the East Coast thinking of applying to YC should feel free to ask him any questions they have about YC or the application process." How? Is there an email address? Hopefully the answer isn't obvious and I've missed it.

I probably should have said that as a reply to the Scott Gu article. From that article: "Unit Testable: The new view engine implementation will support the ability to unit test views (without requiring a controller or web-server, and can be

They really needed to do this. The ASPX view engine just felt like they took existing code and shoved it in to the MVC framework. A fresh start was needed, and it looks great. It'll be interesting to see how they incorporate unit testing.

I've read some anecdotal evidence supporting this as well (atleast for goods). A store owner can't sell a line of jewelery, so they write a note to an employee to cut the price in half. The employee misreads the note and doubles the price
