I'm still a freshman at university. Is taking time off to pursue a startup a good idea? If somebody has a certain amount of dedication, it's possible to leave school, succeed in a startup, come back to school and graduate. What's holding us

From the front page: "We care more about how smart you are than how old you are, and more about the quality of your ideas than whether you have a formal business plan." Perhaps the question should be: How many startups have you been a part

Despite the fact that we're coders, we're not necessarily smart. But at the same time, I think that what makes us capable of pursuing startups is our potential to learn quickly. That's one of the best traits to search for in a partner. Runn

I think the algorithm needs some work. It could make sense mathematically, but it doesn't model things correctly. Take Virginia, for example: "Ranked No. 1 in the "Fastest-Growing Firms" indicator" and "Ranked No. 2 in the "High-Tech Jobs"

We'd like to see a geographic search so that founders can meet other founders based on where they live. http://news.ycombinator.com/comments?id=445

Very good idea. We can assume most people here are in the startup community. So perhaps there should be a search by location field on a page here so that people can find each other.

Amichail, I know exactly what you mean. Some people work better on their own. But even if you're looking for a founder, there are some places where you're out of luck. I go to the University of Virginia, and to tell you the truth, it's near
