I had no idea. Even as an ABC who still speaks semi-competently, I'm having trouble figuring out Niūniū, niù, and, níng. What are the characters? Isn't pinch 捏?

I recall some kind of notice indicating that if you wanted a copy, you had to save it yourself; there was no way (or no resources) for them to give you a copy.

my favorite one is: mā ma qí mǎ, mǎ màn, mā ma mà mǎ. Which translated literally is: mom rides horse, horse slows, mom scolds horse.

Rejection here. Congrats to everyone who got an interview. I feel okay with not receiving a reason for being rejected. We put in effort when filling out our application, and YC put in effort (at least according to our Youtube analytics) in

Uber does a great job of marketing by using its product in creative ways (e.g. valentine's day quartet and send a cat). I can't think of another company that has done as good a job at tying its core product in with random offering

I wonder how big of an effect getting on the front page of HN has on your YC application. I can't imagine it being that much, but this won't be the first time someone has tried (and succeeded).

The distribution of pay is depressingly bimodal: http://www.nalp.org/salarycurve_classof2011 . Mid-tier law schools are definitely not pumping out lawyers who make $150k as first year associates. Even coming out of a top-20

Susman, Wachtell, Boies (and several other litigation boutiques) all have had bonuses that exceeded 100% of base salary (160k). In order to get those bonuses, however, you're probably looking at at least 2400 billable hours a year.

The best approach seems to be a hybrid approach. Flat fee + per use on top. With something like this, you don't want stores to feel like they're getting the short end of the stick if they are suddenly facing a torrent of bathroom

I think from Starbucks's perspective (and any other store's perspective), they hate having to expend resources on people who don't actually buy anything from them. There were rumors several years ago that Starbucks wanted to

There are definitely laws that deal with this issue. In California for instance, "restaurants" of a certain footage must make their bathrooms available to customers. Most likely free of charge. http://www.ada-pros.com&#
