Any advice or thoughts about what we (Pittsburgh startups) can do to get students excited about our respective companies and convince them to take a role with us over another job?

The videos I've saved work for me when I browse Instafilm on my iPad. It may depend on your specific video - if I remember correctly, some YouTube videos are unable to support HTML…

I was just about to make something like this for myself. Thanks for making it! Looking forward to an iPad app. One quick bit of feedback: I notice when I'm logged in and try to ref…

I've seen Luis von Ahn (founder of Duolingo/ReCaptcha) speak twice about his new project (once at a CMU Project Olympus update and once at TEDxCMU a few weeks ago). A few things th…

My company is participating in the current AlphaLab (Pittsburgh) cycle. Although we're still learning all the details about what being in the Network will mean for us, I can't imag…

I'm applying this year. Working on the final touches as we speak. Looking forward to it!

For a second there, I thought this was a Google Group for parents whose kids are or have participated in Y Combinator (replaced HN with YC in my head). That would be an interesting…

I'll plan on being there. Didn't know rms was moving out west!
