I submitted half a dozen edits after the deadline, fixing stuff i found while re-reading the application. Now they've shifted it around so it says "The application deadline for this cycle has passed. You can still submit a late application,

I think this is a good point. Right now YC avoids using social proof as an evaluation tool. They look at the team's ability to work together, that they can ship, and their idea. As YC grows they need to make sure they don't look at who reco

The best way to learn a language is to go to the place they speak it, and fall in love with somebody. Seriously, dating a native speaker, and having them commit to speaking to you in their language. If you're willing to move, and emerse you

Do you require the whole team come in for the interview? Flights are expensive, $6500 just for an interview?

Yep, i worked on TxtMob, and at Odeo when we came up with Twitter. The idea of twitter came from a hackday project of Jack, Noah Glass, and Florain Webber. But they were all aware of TxtMob as we'd done a presentation and evaluation of TxtM

All hipmonk did was provide ITA's Matrix time bar interface with the ability to book tickets. Brilliant, and they added some marketing. It wasn't hard or innovative. Most people simply didn't know about that UI.

For confused noobs or folks who don't spend too much time on hacker news, you need 500 karma points to be able to downvote. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1853529

Riseup has been doing great work for over a decade now. A lot of their security work, both linux kernal patches, and how to documents, have informed startups. I know they were very influential in Wesabe. http://conferences.oreillynet.com/c

The problem with creating this and selling it is not the creation of the technology, but being legally allowed to sell it and to providing the documentation which meets obscure requirements.

Sounds a lot like Mirah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirah_(programming_language) Honestly i don't know, nor does it matter. The language doesn't matter until the kill app gets built with it. Once that happens switch, i switched to Ruby i

Yeah, i was shocked, double checked the dates. I've been to the computer history museum several times over the years. Always at events, but still. I just assumed it'd been open for a long time.

Totally awesome, but there's a big problem. Most of the time when you're in need of translation of text you find like signs, it's because you're in another country. That means data is very expensive, because your fancy iphone is locked and

Why are they doing distro via DVD's? That's kind of insane, why not just put a symbian account on github, upload each project, and let what ever community there is take over from there.

I remember back in the day, 3 or 4 years ago now, when Yahoo tried to buy Twitter for $25 million, and twitter demanded $100 million. They couldn't come to an agreement, and the deal fell through. Funny how the longer they wait, the more pr

This article is complete BS. Why do people post crap like this. The vast majority of people who do open source work, do it as related to work, which is not their primary work.

I'm not sure the idea is to build a viable business. Rather to build out an application, and practice creating. We did the original rails day, the precursor to rails rumble, at Odeo. Then a while later we got the idea of doing that within t
