They seem to put it up after the event on the startup school website - http://startupschool.org/2012/ . The only one I found (a cam) is of the CodeCombat guys at office hours - http://www.youtube.com/wat

I like this. I like the idea of planning for success - it is almost a mental model for seeing whether the action you are doing is "right" or not. The fact that it is yc is almost irrelevant. This idea could almost be extended to o

Maybe a landing page might have worked better? Or even a quick explanation at the top of the page? It reminded me of those video link sites that link to other video link sites. I really like the look and feel of the profile pages; especiall

I can't even begin to understand the general situation in Syria. Charity is needed more than ever - but greater than that, some sort of solution (even if temporary) must be found just for humanity.

I remember reading something similar here on HN. Somebody built a NB classifier to pick out the stories that he/she would like. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3616763 - found the discussion. EDIT: Have a look at

What I found curious was the difference in goals for successful and non-successful projects. It seemed that lower goals had a higher chance of succeeding (all things considered). Would that be a right conclusion to jump to?

There would still be clear votes on each link - making it easier to discern what others found valuable.

It would also be interesting, if this actually makes it to the front page to see the reasons why people don't go to the new page. Is it because they are only looking for the "best", or a quick flash of trends, or because they

Well in most contexts, an exploding offer is an offer with a set deadline - as in, an offer is going to "explode" (aka expire or be taken back) within a specified timeframe. Using this, I'm guessing pg meant that if applicants have got an o

I don't have an answer - but is the quality of the internet declining, or the quality of search declining? I would rather hope it is the latter - in response to SEO and increasing volume.

I think the great innovations of high bandwidth are still to come; imagine doctors able to pull data and compute from anywhere instantly on any device, or even streaming live doctors anywhere in the world, or CERN able to send results as so

My impression of the focus on exiting is that it represents the highest profile "winning" that a startup can achieve - it gets media time, [edit: possibly] large amounts of cash and validation from others that the idea and business is "good

Getting into Y Combinator for the sake of getting into Y Combinator seems to be quite common; I wasn't too surprised at that. Could there be scope in the application for a question along the lines of "What do you want to achieve by being a

Thats a pretty cool tool. I think it raises the question though - do startups need a tagline? I don't really believe they do.
