It uses a nicer layout, font or something, so it's easier & faster to find email. Also, I know it works and is reliable. I don't know if the same is true about something new.

I agree, ML style pattern matching seems so elegant. My favorite pattern matching system is actually Mathematica. I wish more programming languages had 'em :)

How much is the information in facebook's database worth? Presumably, facebook is trying to convert a user's information into dollars. Traditionally, this task is called advertising - but I don't think advertising is the right word anymor

Wow, China's got $1.3T in the bank, just waiting to be invested. With that much mass, you've got to reckon there's a startup out there that could make serious money from China's investment wake. Anyone who can figure out the Chinese inves

I love this kind of site. Target user: anyone who is interested in trading. Heck, I don't know, but say they do a good job at attracting users. Think about the power of the data they can collect. If they get a statistically significant s

Kyro - what you're saying makes a lot of sense, but you're working under different assumptions than I. Sppose you chose random groupings from the set of all YC funded founders, and give them a random idea from set of all initial ideas, th

If someone wants to copy a YC company that's m months old, a copy-cat site could be build in ~ m months. None of the YC companies seem to have a "secret sauce" that would take years to develop. (And I'm not saying they should.) Since the

I firmly believe that you need 1 screenshot, or maybe a 5s screen cast. Just something that gets the jist of it out there. 2-3 minutes is too much. Most tools have dozens of options, so be a reductionist here. If you're going to be marke

Yeah, you only have 1 product, that's the first thing the user should see. I just see text on your page and have no desire to read it. Solution: Make a little flash demo of your application (www.loopt.com ) and display it on the front pa

The possibilities are endless. Replace the phrase, "Bayesian reasoning" in your sentence with a subject that you know well. Say, Calculus for example. Do you see why your question is hard to answer? Don't feel bad, we all get excited whe
