The states where workers work less seem to be on the colder climate zones; it could be that workers in the north just have less time to get things done climatically speaking; after all, if you work on the road, you have to take in account o

If you are going for popularity in HN circles, I don't think .NET is a particularly hot shot. Fwiw, I just remembered Loopt (a YC startup :-) used to be on a .NET full stack, but they are moving towards Rails for frontend ( http://www.loopt

A better question would be whether if .NET is the right tool set for the scope of your project not if a YC startup is using it? If you are looking to explore and are open to learning further, by all means, jump into Django. On the other han

I believe YC startup TheSixtyOne ( http://www.thesixtyone.com/ ) has something along the lines of what you might be interested in looking at. I know it's not open source, but a good inspiration nonetheless.

By this weird twitter analogy logic, then a twitter using plant ( http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/electronic/add2/ ) can replace their jobs as well?

Errr... This really is a slippery slope. Personally, python all the way. But, YMMV depending on what you need to get things done. It's perfectly fine to use a combination of both (since you know them both). Yes, sometimes I love python just

Imagine what would happen if Columbia or NYU were where Stanford is (not in the city i.e)... Also, maybe some clean air and sunny weather can make for some good startup conditions (like sourdough bread :-)

What you need is a Pensieve (like the one from Harry Potter where the characters can take out their memories to analyze). OK, Just Kidding! But, do go for a walk by a quiet lake or body of water. Take a notebook with you. Spill your thought

Find a niche community that has a big pain that no one seems to care about. Learn about their pain and get building. And yes, patio11's Bingo Cards example is a nice one. It may even be a fruitful exercise to think of what pains you have an

You could start off with some automation i.e. make a crawler. Start with seeds from top rated places from Yelp, Gowalla, etc. Then, blast your queries across some travel site APIs and freebase.com to see what kinds of interesting places you
