I think best thing we can ask pg to do is remove points altogether. Points are great for optimizing and ranking, but just let them go from display and keep them only in backend. May be keep average karma for comments but thats about it. Als

I recently had a thought on how Viaweb's YC application will look like. It will be awesome if you fill it out. Will give us a bit more insight in how you think and look at an application.

I doubt he will say no if facebook/twitter/zynga/any other large internet company comes calling. Its a effective campaign which aims at google, but of course can go viral enough to be noticed by everyone else. Clever.

Even though most of the times its good to have resources to your disposal, but few other times it does make sense to burn your boat. From my personal experience - I was running a services company which was very profitable and doing good. I

It will be good to see what are core reasons for this. Any correlation between recession & increased startup activity for example?

You can charge people to use your product if it solves a real pain point. For example http://clipyourphotos.com/bulkr/ and some other applications by a developer seems to be doing nicely. It may not get you to millions of dollars in reven

I think you need minimum 2 GB of RAM, ideally 4GB+. More than 4-5 tabs on 1G machine will deteriorate performance very easily.

I dont think you are being accurate here. 1. Everyone even the most loyal apple fanboy now believes that there is some evil in there. Even pg wrote an essay about it. http://www.paulgraham.com/apple.html 2. Google got lot of bad press aft

When twitter announced changes in their policies, you had said you will be concern about startups which are building on it. Will you say you are now more concerned about startups (YC or not) which are building innovative apps for iOS?
