Sorry about that aston and immad. Even I believe its not 0.5 deterministically, but I think it averages to 0.5. The system appears far more adaptive/dynamic than a completely deterministic model as suggested by the formula. But again, its a

YC runs thanks to our 'spare cycles.' Or is it the other way round? Our 'spare cycles' add value because of YC?

Simple answer - Submissions are more important than Comments for News.YC ;-). If comments were given more weight tending towards that of submissions, people would have trouble moving onto the next submission, in the process of accumulating

Just realised this: Startup News: 150 posts New: Top 50 posts Best: Top 50 posts Couple of questions: 1. Is the Startup News section a combination of New and Best? 2. What about the ones that don't show up under these sections? Are they pe

So far, I have asked three women whose opinions I trust and there was a marked difference in the response to the quality of the prototype, in comparison to the men's response. More than anything else, I observed that more importance was g

There was a post earlier on YC about IPTV revolution ( http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=18996 ) happening in Europe. It seems to be ahead of the US in terms of marketing of the IPTV medium. This should obviously mean something - 1

Unfortunately, not everybody can realize this. Most people are so connected to their physical environment in their conscious state that they just can't let go of their conscious connections. I guess all of us are caught up some way or the o

Well, I definitely feel its not hard to picture Google looking at WriteWith and realizing that there is an opportunity there for them to leverage from their existing systems and just establish a connection between GoogleDocs and Blogger. T

Although not part of his talk, Paul had something interesting to say, when posed with the question about how anal investors are, about 'domain expertise' of the team they would be willing to fund. The point to take home from Paul's response

Interesting to see that WriteWith seems to take GoogleDocs head on! There seems to be a few parallels between what Kiko attempted and how they were hosed by Google Calender and what WriteWith is attempting. The difference here being WriteW

How long does one wait before they start considering equity sharing other than the Founders' equity? Or in other words, when does one know that you can start sharing equity, AFTER the number of Founders has been decided?

If the Founders' hands are FULL, how do you get work done from a non-founder/prospective early employee, with PROMISES and VISION sharing? Basically, my question is how do you get someone else other than the Founders to work for you withou

It is very important for any Social News website to cater to the lowest common denominator. I agree with some of the comments here that suggest that a lot of people might feel alienated. It would probably work to abstract out the IQ of the

Good one!!! Did you model this? :-).. interesting... you are saying that if P(S) is greater than 1, P(S) doesn't apply to that particular startup.. its meaningless.. and they should stop wasting their time.. is dat a valid argument to why y
