Well played dottertrotter, thank you. Myself and a number of others have duplicate location entries. One where you determined my location by IP and one by zipcode. The zipcode one is right. How can I delete the IP one? It seems many ot

Godspeed. I think you have the right attitude.

Agreed. You bring up an interesting point about social pressures b/c they are the driving force behind this whole thing. I'd like to run w/ this for a sec... It is NOT socially acceptable to not attend college. It IS socially acceptable

If you apply and get rejected and don't go after your idea anyways then they were right to reject you. I know that sounds harsh but failure and rejection are common-place in startups, YC or not. If your idea can't sustain rejection from a

I think the best way to avoid stuff accumulation is to throw away your TV. Or at least disconnect if from the outside world. Whether you think so or not TV makes you buy more stuff. I like to buy verbs, not nouns. While I was working i

If you had to design an engineering school from the ground up where the input was an 18 y/o w/ HS math + science and the output was a good engineer, it would look nothing like universities do today. Engineering is diced into its core compo

A financial bubble means that people are buying something less for its inherent value and more b/c they think that other people will buy it for more. Look at real estate prices. They should always be determined by people's salaries. The

Not true at all. Once clean year is all you need. TRUST ME. They're not looking for boy scouts, they're just looking for honest people. Questioning applicant's soft drug use is just a great way of smoking out dishonest people (no pun int

I know a bunch of folks who have done stuff like this. You will work very hard which is fine because there is not much else to do. And you will be safer than you would in most major cities in the US. Secret clearance = no drugs in the last

About a year ago I was in that network. It was really just a bunch of DC kids goofing around. Most of my friends on it were actually non-snob democrats and it wasn't exclusive at all. Everyone in DC got invites to that thing. It was lik

Test Pilots are bold by definition. Entrepreneurs are not necessarily bold. People tell me all the time how "brave" and "bold" I am for starting a startup and it's complete BS. The only think we're risking is some money, reputation and e

It's a shame if a seemingly good project would have to be re-created only to be topped off w/ basic customer awareness. I think a lot of open source projects suffer from this mentality. Take the "open, community, GPL, Torvalds" stuff off

I know nothing about OpenID. So I went to their website: This is their tagline: "OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity." blah blah ...user centric... blah How about: OpenID allows you to have

I think there is nothing more miserable than working with tools that you don't like. Part of the allure of starting a startup was not compromising an inch on the exact tools you want. Follow your bliss, not your stock options. That said

I totally understand people's complaints about C++. However I am never sure if they are aware of some libraries that may concerns: boost::function allows you to easily interchange function pointers, memeber function pointers and function
