I love that he's even coding in his picture, probably because he wouldn't have a recent one without a computer in his lap. lol ... when I got 40-50 days I usually feel rather accomplished, this guy makes me feel like a slacker

The funny part to me is that people think this is new. Companies like Euclid have literally been doing this for a couple of years(and quite successfully I might add) http://euclidanalytics.com/ Not only is it not new, its p

As a past YC founder that sat on the receiving end of some awesome advice from Sam from time to time I think this is a great thing for YC and for future YC founders. Aside from being a smart, well connected guy Sam has the innate ability to

Though this might have been their original intent, it was not the end result, ultimately they partnered with a bank and offered a fairly normal checking and savings account to their customers. Was it a bank-like experience? absolutely(which

why are registrations running out in the first place? And they're not working now either, I guess maybe they ran out again?

I have actually been telling people as soon a Rap Genius released Code Genius I would stop using Stack Overflow altogether, at first glance this still has a ways to go but I'm down to use it! I think its an awesome concept and I'm

Social Cam was spun out as a separate company and participated in the same batch of YC as me (W12) They also sold it to Autodesk for about $60MM if I recall correctly only a month or two after the batch. Michael was a super nice guy and sho

Sorry to say this but if Ashton Kutcher's name wasn't on this it would have not even made it to the front page of HN much less been worthy of people commenting on it. I think he's made some great investments and I'd love

Glad to see this app launched. While I firmly believe that its not necessarily the best idea that "everyone" learns to code I think stories like this serve as a reminder that hard times fall on all of us. Thanks Patrick for not ju
