I have been using iPhone tethering for almost a month now, and it rocks. I am not going to update to any new iPhone OS unless I am sure I can tether. Paying $45 for HSI at home and $30 for iPhone is a lot. I am not looking forward to add mo

I think it will be an awesome case study to have an essay on what went behind choosing every startup@YC till now and more startups can be added after every funding cycle. Then talking about the YC funded startup success/failure stories with

Finally, a story in which YC misjudged... :) Congrats...

Thanks Andrew, I have emailed you. This looks like a useful app. Good luck and keep us posted about it. Also, how can I post a review about this app on the appstore, if I dont buy it and use the adhoc?

I was more curious about how the office setup is designed. How startups are allocated space, what is the interaction model between different startups, is there a white board to post story/question/idea of the day?

I am not a big fan of flash slide shows. They literally suck. edit: One cannot control it. Move the slide show faster, slower, go back, stop, etc., which makes it time consuming and inefficient.

On a side note, can someone from YC post pictures of YC office? Just curious. :)

I think it is a very interesting move and might actually be successful. Personally, I would love to read comments by my favorite characters from tv-series I watch during a show.

If this is the case, Chrome is now my default browser. I am fine with most of the websites being slower but not gmail.

It was not happening till a week back. But for the last few days, I am definitely seeing gmail to be working much much faster on chrome.

Ask HN: Is it possible that gmail is working better on chrome? (intentional?)

Can someone throw more light into this idea YC is working on? I am damn curious, given that http://ycombinator.com/ideas.html mentions techcrunch on one side and reddit on the other (News will morph significantly in the more competitive e

we should just make this post top news at HN for as long as we can.. hopefully someone at google will notice it...

On a side note, google should definitely get its act together related to customer service. I have heard so many horror stories about google's indifferent/insignificant customer service lately.

Personally speaking, I wont pay if facebook starts charging me $20/year. Rather, it might improve my life because I wont waste anytime on it. However, if google starts charging for gmail, I will totally pay an annual amount as long as they

Yes, given the resolution of the image, I am guessing it must have been performed at UHV, ULT and vibration free room.

WOW! this is a big breakthrough. I have friends working in my collaborators group using STM and AFM at UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) and ULT (Ultra Low Temperatures), and know second hand how difficult/near to impossible it is.

My guess is these numbers are for July'09 when 3GS launched and they have extrapolated to an year which is being statistically ignorant.

This is exactly what we are going through. The VCs we talk to want to see revenue projections of $50MM+ in 5 years and want a project plan for investment in $MM. All we need is in $150k range and it is extremely difficult to find money in t

by ujjwalg 17y ago
so you are saying $500/hour is industry average? Hackeronymous mentioned that he charged $100k for a 1000 hour work which he could have done in almost 1/6th time if he was experienced. I am not sure about the industry average, but I work th

Somehow I feel that this post was more about being boastful than anything else.

by ujjwalg 17y ago
I was not saying that you should charger per hour. I was asking that the numbers you floated will make more sense if you can provide how much time you spent on each of those projects. For example: you mentioned $100k on RoR project. This nu

I think it will be easier to answer your questions if rather than providing the total amount, you provide $/hour in those time periods.

I have read all of PG's essays and have seen some of his videos. This one is awesome. The way he uses the slides or I should say the way he doesn't uses the slides during the talk is how it should be. Whenever, I read about him and see what

I completely agree with Sarah. Being a PhD student about to finish in sciences and starting my own company which is already ramen profitable, the biggest concern of mine is how can I stay in US, after I am done with my PhD. I am not that wo
