The point is that YC's model contradicts what you said. It's relatively inexpensive to build an initial version of a product. Build something as quickly as possible, get user feedb…

I've been on this website a long time and I suppose the userbase has grown quite a bit. I don't assume everyone has read all of Paul Graham's articles or even know who he is, but a…

> generally people say one should market their product first then build it if there's enough demand I don't agree this is the common wisdom, and it's kind of a surprising take to s…

Kinda reminds me of this old folklore.org story: https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Make_a_Mess,_Cle...

Blitz and even bullet are great for tactics and pattern recognition, especially for < 2000 rated players.

There was some headline about a week ago that said roughly 1000 people own half of all bitcoins.

How would prosecutors go about that? Going through all his blog posts to look for depression? And that would be standard procedure for everyone they prosecute?

I happen to agree with JWZ, but drop the attitude internet tough guy.

Politicians should represent the entire country... Suppose I decide to vote instead of not voting at all. So now the winning candidate (who I may or may not have voted for) represe…

Originally it was called "Startup News". PG announced he was making a new site not focused on startups, since that got kind of dull. Instead he changed the name of this site and no…

I'd bet a majority of reddit users have never heard of digg.
