What are you basing your opinion off of? Almost every law textbook would disagree with you. There are three states where LLCs are commonly formed: Delaware, Nevada, and Florida. VC…

Another alternative is to go to Poly for a year or two and take care of some general requirements. Then, transfer to MIT. Schools are generally very receptive to transfer students …

You'll probably have to look outside of science, but actually you are qualified for lots of policy and business jobs. The trick is to look for jobs that sound more social science/h…

Of course. But I'm no longer looking for an internship - I already found one. Those other communities are great. However, a lot of that 21+ crowd socializes through happy hours - a…

Just a suggestion - I'm sure there will be other interns like me who found their way to DC without this program. It'd be great if there was some sort of listserv that interns could…

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I find the other part of your comment non-constructive. If you don't think that my question is inappropriate for HN, fine. But just writing it o…

I'm selling my laptop, and I'm wondering what everyone uses to wipe computers clean of personal data before passing it on.

Has anyone here dabbled in non-tech entrepreneurship? Can you share your experiences? In the end, what made you choose/not choose tech entrepreneurship?

I always feel a twinge of sadness knowing that I can never be a 19 year old who invented something again.

Can you explain more - what is unprofessional about the type?

I'd like to work in software. I went to college with the idea that I was going to go into banking or consulting, but then found that I didn't like the type of lifestyle these jobs …

I'm currently a sophomore pursuing a BA in economics. I'd like to add a CS major, but I'd like to get some advice first. I would be double majoring, not getting a dual degree. What…

Why squander an opportunity to get sign ups?

I agree. I was looking for a demo as well. A suggestion I have is to include a few screenshots on the landing page - perhaps incorporate them with the features list.

Maybe try putting more information on your landing page. People would be more likely to sign up if they had more than 5 words to figure out what your startup does.

Look for a job in Sales and Trading. Bulge bracket banks love programmers and quant types for trading. It's hard to get an interview by just applying on a website, so you'll want t…

"I really do not get why I need a special day to say I love you" It's not about you. It's about her.

If you're looking to work in finance, try switching directly into a finance job before putting down the money for a MBA or MSF. You'd be surprised how receptive the finance communi…

Interesting idea that definitely has potential. But the $100 application fee is definitely reminiscent of scholarships that you had to pay to get a shot at.

Is this unpaid? Pretty hard to bootstrap enough money to live in NYC.

Just approach it like you would any other conversation. Ask questions about their lives - everyone likes to talk about themselves. Make jokes. Try not to be nervous. Be yourself. T…

It seems like everyone is looking for rockstars. What if you're just "hacker friendly"?

I agree. Usually when I visit a new site, I'm looking for a 30-second description of what its purpose is. It's too hard to figure out what your site actually does.

My econ degree is heavily econometric (stats) focused, so I have done a lot of R, Stat, EViews, etc. But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make those skills applicable...?…

I'm an econ major, math minor at an ivy league school who's literally suffocating in my school's infatuation with wall street. I'd like to intern at and join a tech startup after g…
