The question is, if you can build something cool (and importantly get press), why just settle for just a job?

It seems odd that in U.S. you have to make such a choice, in the U.K., University is in easy reach of most (provided they did well enough at school).

Yeah I considered Nokia for that comment, my thought was Motorala domainated first, then Nokia and now Nokia are failing to compete with Apple and Android which are likely to take over in the long term as every phone becomes a smart phone.

That's not been my experience, it's like in bugzilla but your oscillating between "waiting on customer" and "waiting on redhat" and the people your talking to don't really understand the problems and so have to ask someone else everytime.

I think the NT and OSX updates were absolutely required due to architectural reasons which impact security, 98/ME and MacOS 9 just simply weren't suited to types of threats on the internet (no support for dropping process privileges, file p

OK, how do I join RedHat Enterprise? which is what we actually use and pay money for therefore where I find the bugs. I probably should join Mozilla, Ubuntu, KDE and Gnome too - that's going to be a lot of catching up to do just to fix one

At points I've submitted patches or very clear descriptions but they get ignored still. In other projects there is often a steep learning curve to get even a small patch in, like in Mozilla, particularly if it's a language you don't normall

As a user I find the way some of those bug tracking systems are used infuriating. This seems to happen to me often: - You submit a bug or find one that's active and comment on it - there is no activity - then vendor posts needsinfo

His logic for why people bought the iPod is flawed since he doesn't back it up with any evidence. I don't think iTunes had as much of an impact as he says, most people imported the majority of their collection from CDs in the early days of

It doesn't cost anywhere near that much in the U.K., more like $20-30k debt after 3 years on average. I think the title is misleading but the rest is true.

If anything it's the other travellers that are anti-American (but not to their faces). The natives of countries don't seem to have a preference really except some country specific issues (Wars, long standing disputes etc.) As for point #2,

Crunchbase says the 250k round was only 2 months later, so maybe no dilution? http://www.crunchbase.com/company/280-north

Does anyone know what ycombinator got from this $0.4m to $2m (based on 2% to 10%)? or was it diluted in the later round?

It does solve a real problem. In order for people to maintain more than a few friends, it's nessasary for them to know what those friends are doing. If you have More than 100 friends/acquiantances, then talking to them say once a week or o

Scaling from 10 to 1000 is quite likely early on, though above 1000 I'd say the rule would apply.

I/O is the scaling problem for most web startups, so it's really mostly about scaling RAM and to a lesser extent adding some SSDs.

Is this really that surprising? It doesn't seem that complicated a project. Big companies surely don't have a team for every little project. Wasn't the Facebook app written by one guy. Also TweetDeck was originally by one guy. Wasn't Reddit

Essentially people are locked into those mainframes. It doesn't make sense to pick them if you are starting from scratch. I wonder if in 20 years people will be locked into the cloud systems they are investing in now in the same way.
