He just gave a list of rather good reasons why a normal person might not use facebook. Yes, it is quite uncommon to see a facebook-less person nowadays. But why do you think this implies that a person who doesn't use facebook is necess

The law could simply say employees must only consider things the applicants have submitted themselves. I can think of a few reasons for such a law - applicants have no control over the internet (eg if I share my name with some criminal who

Besides the issue already raised, I think it might lead to teams optimizing for YC instead of for success. Of course, it would be ideal if the two optimization targets were the same, but I doubt that's true.

At least we have one thing going for us. If you fail a Goldman Sachs interview, you don't get to work at Goldman Sachs. If YC or some other accelerator rejects you, you can still go and start your startup and succeed anyway. In fact YC

Math is a much, much broader field than the part of Computer Science than SICP covers, so it's really hard to search for "consistent and broad knowledge throughout all areas". Do you really need to learn analytic number theor

I see that you are defining 0/0 to be a value such that f(x) = x/x has no discontinuity at x=0. But your chosen value means that the function g(x) = x^2 / x is discontinuous at x=0, and the function h(x) = -x/x also has
