What you have just said is exactly egotism. From wikipedia: "Egotism is the motivation to maintain and enhance favorable views of self." and also: "Various forms of "empirical egoi…

downvote it but you cannot change the truth

a good thing to remember is that almost everyone out there and here on HN is a egotist first and a hacker (worker, etc) second

There seems to be some confusion among the HN user about the actual starup definition. Many people call a startup even outside projects and websites made for fun. PG says "The esse…

Nothing matters less to me than mee-too-ness about startup programs. I'm desperate for 100 absolutely same programs to be available to me in absolutely same time in absolutely same…

Finance (funding IS finance, right?) in itself is rather uninventive. Would you prefer to learn different rules each time you get new CC?

What I like about techstars - they don't pretend to be unique. Instead of going to some bizzare place like NY or whatever (they seem don't like SF) just to generate buzz they go to…

Year. But its the essence of the evolution.

Great work, but ... looks like an example of completely missing the basics of the customer needs. Do we really need good design to start taking shots? Think about us already missin…

Keep in mind that you don't have that much time. More than one RoR bastard will know about your website soon and frankly it takes only couple of weeks of fulltime developement to p…

Well, you won't talk to hundreds of applicants after the initial text-only review. And to talk to rest - in my opinion - could be much more valuable in the sense of not putting peo…

Have you considered using skype (or similar) to interview people remotely for the same reason you ask for videos? I guess talking over skype for many people is much easier than par…

I've had experience of beign rejected by both, and have got better feelings with TechStar :) Well, the ideas were different too, so it triggered different reactions. But overall, t…

== setting deadlines to exclude YC == How they can achieve that having only one session per year - summer, and YC has two?

Note: This fee schedule is for payments by US customers only. You can allow non-US customers to pay using credit cards (not Amazon Payments balance transfers or bank account at thi…

Amazon FPS registration is available for all developers with a U.S. address.

I wouldn't call 'Free trial' the 'original freemium model' Surely, its the original 'try-before-you-buy' model. So we're left with only two options: 1) Active free users - adding v…

"And almost without exception, organizations are run by people who want to protect the old business, not develop the new one." Even this alone is enough for a smart startup to succ…

Where do you post the job ads for non-IT workers like office-manager, accountant etc, but closely related to the IT specifics? Also, where to post for the network administrators? I…

What SeedCamp does is merely getting hype in hope to succeed as a investor2startup intermediate and promote its http://www.opencoffeeclub.org network. So they pick up ideas that wi…

People who spoke against .Net/C#. Please study it really deep first. Do not make fun of youself.

They are really simple. Try comparing them to some enterprise solution if you had a chance to work on one.

they didn't change it for the same reason that they didn't do nice design, IMO. tagworld.com is really complex thing despite its simplicity from the outside. It has unique user bas…

All spoken here do not understand .Net enough. I worked for tagworld.com and this web project is "quite" big. Viewstate and drag'n'drops and the like are nowhere used. .Net is NOT …
