It's worth noting that the book itself is in fact a Meteor app.

Thanks for this! Cycling is my preferred way to commute, so I expect this to come in handy. I just confirmed that my usual work->home route is in fact the flattest.

What you're implying is extremely insulting.

I've lived in Hacker Fortress 2 months (los altos), visit frequently at Chez JJ for the last few weeks (mountain view) and have visited StartupHouse once to help someone move in(in SOMA). Hacker Fortress and Chez JJ are both lovely. Chez JJ

I also enjoyed: 'I'm working at a small startup. Our business model is "Taking free drinks from industry events and reselling them." Oh, hey, I should get going.'

This seems to be a recurring topic on HN. The "goats vs sheep" study cited in the link's "highest-voted answer" has appeared on the front page at least once before, recently. I am more interested in the meta-question: what are the implicati

First: spending high school hacking is not mutually exclusive with taking AP classes and getting good grades. Second: a lot of top colleges would actually be impressed with someone who had the initiative to pursue their own projects and hav

Wow, what a pleasant surprise to see this familiar (to me) business on HN. I researched Sleepbox extensively while working to found a startup called "NapTime" that would operate napping pods in high-sleep-demand areas (same pain point, diff

This is actually a big part of why I can't take any pleasure from the "bumbling/incompetent husband" stereotype in commercials, sitcoms, etc. It's supposed to pander to women, but it's actually insulting to everyone - insulting to men by

You realize that "connections" can be cultivated right?

I think this is an interesting experiment, and definitely in line with the idea that YC funds people, not ideas. I do think it will create a lot more work for the partners during review and interviews, but presumably they have taken this in

I have a related question, though at a more micro scale: how early should we submit our application for the summer 2012 class? The application page says that "Groups that submit early have a significant advantage because we have more time

I disagree. I always trust people unless (or until) they've proven themselves untrustworthy. This may sound naive, but it's what works for my style of doing business, which hinges on mutual trust and almost over-the-top openness. Here's wha

Most of the discussion seems to be about whether or not it's "bad" that the Samwers are "copycats." I was more struck by the culture at Rocket, which sounds quite nasty judging by the article. (“team meetings are full of insults, non-perfor

This was a good read. I try to read one or two startup horror stories for each startup fairy tale I hear. Though I've not yet considered simply abandoning startup life, so perhaps I should up the ratio? :-p

This is a good question. Everyone's situation is different, but if you are young with no family to support, I think it's best to minimize expenses so you can minimize time spent at a day job, and thus maximize "free time" to work on your pr

Thanks for the advice. I may be taking the post too literally, it's true. What I'm really interested in is the conventional wisdom surrounding the desirability of various domain characteristics, so I have an idea of expectations before go
