The metaphor has nothing to do with what people say the essay implies.

Could YC somehow register as the corporation the founders work for? Then they'd have a "regular" job for loan repayment.

It is important for people to have a fighting spirit. Otherwise they'll be controlled by those who do.

If I made the scheme mud, would anyone find it interesting? Or is that sort of thing old hat with this crowd?

No, no, I'm just expressing an opinion, like mixmax. It's up to the voters whether they actually think they're so smart. For example, here is another opinion: icky is the best handle ever.

It'd be interesting to put handles with faces too. Anyways, the get together looks like a lot of fun. All the best to the new YC founders!

Agreed. Cooking up something inventive in the kitchen, chopping ingredients as pans fry minced onions and garlic, throwing new spices together; it's a whole lot of fun. Whenever I have the time, this is something I love to do.

Apparently the voters disagree.

I guess he never read Hansel and Gretel. The candy store would be really cool, IMO. Has anyone ever read Chitty Chitty Bang Bang? Of course you've read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If I ever did a startup, the whole point would be

This is from talks I've had with parole officers. Often, the prisons can merely act as Criminal U. Coming out it is hard to get a legitimate job, and they've learned more criminal skills while in prison. It's much easier to just go right

Missed a 'not' I've talked with a couple parole officers and they say the same thing. The people they deal with really have to decide for themselves to change, it isn't a matter of changing their environment.

Ah, good point. On another note, people who vote on HN are the smartest people in the world. That's my opinion.

Upvotes should save comments too, in a separate section.

If 10 minutes is prep time, you can do a whole lot with a crock pot. I also like rice alot, so I include a rice cooker. But, prep only takes 5 minutes, if that. Throw the meat, sauce, and veggies into the crock pot, and rice into the coo

I'm skeptical about the standard take on financial freedom. I think that a normal programmer can save enough in 5 years to live overseas off the interest with a comfortable standard of living. So, financial freedom isn't some high and loft

For me, it's mainly been people and their lives. The ideas and such flow from that. This is an undergrad teacher who has had the most influence on me: http://www.scriptoriumdaily.com/author/john-mark-reynolds/

And that's why you stuck "do it right" on at the end, eh?

That is a cool idea. I just finished a class this quarter on distributed systems, which I really liked. I'd be interested in hearing your ideas about P2P. Things like epidemic protocols and chord are pretty clever.

What is the purpose in combining the two? A way of creating a distributed system like Inferno? Or because you happen to like both ideas?

Windows has had the ability to categorize files for awhile. If you look in a file's properties, you can add custom properties to any file. I don't know if there is a way to use these properties in the file system, though.

My friend and I want to create a roguelike. We hacked stone soup a little, then ran out of time. I'm interested in EAs like ericb, and want to see, if combined with human creativity, they can produce interesting creatures. Also, once I hav

My aunt and uncle opened a private bakery where they bake bread mainly for friends. It's really good stuff. I, for one, appreciate freshly baked bread.

Could a person's definition of success change with IQ? Many people we consider geniuses had wide ranging interests, so I'm not sure you would catch many of these people if success is defined as expertise in a specific field, as it seems to
