I know the next YC batch hasn't started yet, so where are these current companies doing office hours on startupschool videos coming from? Are they former YC grads? There used to be…

What's so bad about that?

Whenever they send it is when the emails go out. The exact time varies.

Barbells I've got down solid. I was on Stronglift's 5x5 for quite a while. Now I've been getting more gains from a hybrid zyzz's workout, with enough compound lifts mixed in. My di…

I was there at that YC startup school where Mark said younger people are smarter. The atmosphere in the air was part humor and part insight, not some seriousness to mean that older…

Can't some code screen scrape instagram and then get the picture data that way? I screen scrape using firefox using zc.testbrowser libraries but there's libraries where you don't n…

shall i make a hacker news fan page?

some awesomeness that lets companies make money whenever people go to their competitor's websites. there is no site at all and no user interaction

Yeah, I think both of you are right. Its part that there are scammers out there who use gambits and deception, and there's also due dillgence by yourself that must be done. I need …

I think a good analogy would be like a college girl getting completely drunk and passing out in some guy's bed at a party and the guy takes ripe advantage of the situation. What he…

Hello YC, Recently in the past, I have ended up in some pretty bad relationships, getting ideas and hard work stolen by people who would try to turn me into their lowly paid employ…

How do you know the full story of it? A lot of startups in the valley now are totally dicking their employees out of equity and doing "firing layoffs" instead of really laying peop…

Please put something more into it to make it different than d-link's or any other wireless picture frame that can also pull stuff from facebook/etc. Is there an ease of use advanta…

Starts out good but just chooses and explains a "middle-ground" and then goes into "just be yourself, the situation will dictate the strategy to use". That's how I feel, but its a …

The foundation of this whole bubble is too much (often its not that much) growth and no revenue or even future hope of revenue what-so-ever. In short, there's a lot of bullshit sta…

It was EXTREMELY painful just drawing simple stuff because the "free transform" resizer would pop up after every segment drawn. Make this optional. Also, don't even make people sig…

hahahahahahahaha, those guys are making bank off of the publicity they're getting. The lawsuit probably won't even cost them near what they're getting. Its nothing more than a bund…

You sure that wasn't leaked "on purpose"?

There's some good companies on there, but most... are just bubble startups, especialy 90% of that contenders category. If thats the best 25, I don't even want to know whats below t…

I might finally make the switch and use it as a desktop. My main concern is that wpa support still might suck for linux. I'll wait a little bit until I hear more good reviews.

I can just feel the angst and envy in this thread. Despite being a silly product, they still worked very hard on it and built up enough spin and hype to get it to that point. It br…

The videos don't seem to work when I click play on several browsers/boxes. Are they still being uploaded or something?

hahahahahahah Paulslist. I like the sound of that. :) Yeah, living with other startup founders would be awesome. Email me too. zkinion@outrunpoker.com
