Consider updating the "Do we have to be US citizens?" question in FAQ to include that teams would have to fly up for the interview in addition to the three months (if that is still the decision).

I would add a convenient way for this to interact with already existing hashed links that are used for navigation. Rather than the #p[...],h[...] how about #p=...&h=...? EDIT: Or even #deeplink=p[...],h[...]

The automated bidding was randomly in the last ten seconds (from a brief look at Swoopo its the same). That was quite easily beaten my a bot that could bid at the last second. I put in equivalent of $3,000 Won: iPhone 4 32gb, $200 vouchers,

If anyone has any questions I'll be happy to answer them. Unfortunately working on my startup came first over challenging them legally -- since the value of the winnings was over $5000, I would have had to fly to their local court in order

At the moment we have too much going on here to consider any of that, especially if we planned on moving to the US for three months come January. I could fly up mid-December if YC would be willing to let me pitch then (and then stay on if w

I'm in a similar position to what he described, although have a huge problem in that we're down in South Africa. We made it through to the interview round, and then declined when pg made the call that we'd have to interview in person (up un

I find the hardest problem to overcome with PHP is finding developers, as it isn't a particularly nice language to work with. If you're not doing a computationally expensive startup, speed won't matter much. If you ever get to the size wher

My only problem is the seven lines of test cases at the bottom. I'm not against testing, but I find many people using testing that excessively, start using it as an excuse not to bother thinking about if their solutions are correct or not.

Its not like that every day, it was just a particularly bad stretch where a lot of problems cropped up in the last day and simply needed to be dealt with (we're a billing company - the deadline for submitting a batch is final).
