You can't make a blanket statement about whether this is good or bad; it's a tool - it depends on how it's used.

When I interview, I'm most interested in the jobs which sound challenging, and expect me to be excited about 'doing a bit extra' because that's actually fun. That's why we put this sort of thing in our job description. We want people who l

Yes, in fact, we applied very very early - just a few weeks after the applications were announced.

How about Square One... Mathnet! The Mystery of the Maltese Pigeon was my favorite one. I remember it so fondly, I'm almost afraid to go find it on YouTube.

It could be because we originally weren't allowing people to tip themselves, which was causing a slew of problems since (of course) people wanted to try out the button on their site. That was just a big UI oversight on my part; sorry. We've

I love the idea of earning a reputation based on how much you tip! As I just said in my post to techcrunch: We do expect that there will be some average amount of tips per piece of content which are never paid. As we collect more data, we

Hi, Abby from Tipjoy here. One exciting aspect of tipjoy is that the ranking is determined by the amount of PAID tips something has received. Right now nothing’s yet been paid (except for a little bit we’ve put in ourselves), so the top ti

At an old job in 2003, my office mate quit and left these amazing hand rests which I began to use. I loved them so much that when they broke in 2006 I actually super glued them back together. At that time I couldn't find anyone selling them

Yes, it is technically inaccurate for people to view the back button as an undo. However until new browsers come out that are designed for web applications, this will continue to be an issue regardless. As long as you judiciously use AJAX -

You should separate the notion of the interaction modalities (mouse, touch screen, voice, etc), from the ways they can be used in various different types of software. New modalities such as touch screens will require designers to rethink ho

Although we're not entirely there yet, I think the 'socialization' of the web has begun to pave the way for online tipping. As we begin to see the people through the content, we will become more apt to support them in order for them to kee

Guess I'll have to wait a long time to hear back from that YC-clone I applied to out there.

"User-error" is usually a symptom of a design flaw.

Married. My husband is my co-founder. Working together is tons of fun & we live and breathe our startup. I highly recommend marrying your co-founder, or co-founding with your husband/wife.

Some good advice: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/paul+simon/50+ways+to+leave+you... I can't comment on (c) but: a: Just be open about your reasons. It isn't a personal attack to say someone is a slow/inefficient worker. b: Work away from t

Thanks. Just to be clear: this isn't about my 'feelings.' It's actually about having a successful startup: one major reason people fund startups is because they think the founders have the right characteristics that will make them succeed.

From what I can tell, being a YC alum has similar benefits to being a Harvard (or other Ivy League) alum.

Lots of talk about 'healthy white males' and 'guys' on news.yc tonight. I understand women are in the minority, but we do exist. Correction: I just re-checked the other post I was referring to and they said "healthy young male" not "health

Interesting side-topic: how many hackers out there are also musicians, and what do you play? I started playing violin when I was 2, but haven't played so much since leaving college. Maybe we could get a quartet together or something... you

Thanks. I've been thinking about your advice and I made a quick mockup of sparklines which show 4 bars, each representing a week, where height is average popularity over that week, and darkness of the bar is how many posts there were that

The conventional wisdom is that no one reads help (online or otherwise). I'm wondering, would people read a manual if it looked more like this one? Have manuals gone out of fashion, and perhaps come back in style again... or are they someth
