I'm so thrilled that Carl Malamud/Law.gov got $1 million. His tireless devotion to using technology to shine sunlight on the government over the past 20(!) years literally has changed the way interact with our government. (ex. his skunkwor

You may want to consider trying to band together and brand yourselves in the vein of Hacker Angels to get more dealflow past AngelList. It'd be great if this kerfluffle shook up the angel "industry" to make it more efficient and more compe

My experiences with YC and TS companies indicate that the most valuable aspect of the programs are the introductions and knowledge sharing amongst classes. Given that the dilution is minimal, I'd strongly encourage you to apply - you'll get

sigh THR and Variety are notoriously tough reviewers. Besides, if you think Sorkin's going to fuck up the dialogue in a movie about communication , you're on crack. Sure, a 100% is just a leading indicator of quality, but it's a suprem

Felix Salmon does this, and he's a blogger working for Reuters. Dan Primack does this, and he's a blogger working for Fortune. It's not about old/new media - it's about hustle .

Does this leave Blekko as the last standing independent Google-killer? (DDG doesn't count to me because yegg isn't (yet) indexing the web himself.)

I'd also pay, with one pony request: the ability to brand the experience so that I had my company's logo in the bottom right (for example) and URL mapping (perhaps just to a subdomain).

I was able to re-order mine. The UX isn't obvious that you can, but it works just the way I thought it would by drag-and-drop.

Is there a way to send the results of a search to someone via e-mail or post it on Facebook/Twitter? I'd love to be able to send an itinerary to my Mom for her to purchase (she foots Thanksgiving trips home) or be able to say "hey, everyon

The penny rule. The number of people who go from pirates to $2.99 is dramatically outweighed by the people who go from $5.99 to $2.99. (Do the math; that's a net loss.) The only way this works out for the developer if this scheme results i

Every state has public sector employee unions. The UAW is also in most right-to-work states. But the vast majority of employees (public and private) are not members of those unions and I'm positive that teacher contracts in RTW states a

sigh Lookit, if teachers unions were the main culprit, then education outcomes in right-to-work states (the South, mostly) would be significantly higher than states where teachers unions exist. This is not the case. The problem is one o

HP's board had to know that this was going to end up like this. Hate on Oracle if you must, but in a deathmatch for business dollars, HP will get destroyed. That said - if HP is really going to be a consumer-focused company (like Apple), a

I think it'd be great if YC published a standard note that has the cap (with both a dollar and percentage) that accommodated rolling closes like y'all did for the Series AA docs. Given that this is now the new hotness, it'd make seed inves
