Can anyone elaborate on PG's comment at the end of the first linked article? I also skipped San Jose. San Jose calls itself the capital of Silicon Valley, but when people in the Valley use the phrase "the city," they mean San Francisco. San Jose is a dotted line on a map. He makes it sound like nothing happens there, but if so, why do they claim to be the capital of SV?
I just returned from San Jose back to Toronto. After spending most of the past week there, I can honestly say, NOTHING happens in San Jose.
While San Jose pales in comparison to San Francisco, as a Bay Area native I've always enjoyed Santana Row, some parts of downtown (near 1st Street) and some of the outskirt cities like Campbell and Los Gatos. The only thing about the South Bay is that since everything is so spread apart, cab/uber rides are a bit pricier than SF.
If you're in town for Startup School, I highly recommend journeying up to SF afterward.

#73Flying in from Paris. This is very cool. Is it a good idea to rent a car / a motorbike -- how good is public transportation?
bay area local. rent a car, public transit can only take you so far in the area.
not only that, public transportation ends before midnight/1am in the majority of places - one of my biggest gripes. Getaround and Wheelz are ride sharing options.

#75Got a quick question. I didn't get any invitation email from YC, but when: 1. I go to this link: http://news.ycombinator.com/susrsvp , 2. it asks me if I am coming. And I selected "YES" and 3. I see a message: Ok, see you there! on http://news.ycombinator.com/x Does that mean I was invited but didn't get an email?
Probably, check your spam folder. Email them to make sure.
@Everyone: Is there anyone who applied to startup school but didn't get an invite? Do see the same thing what I am seeing?

#76Accepted! Am I the only high school aged person so far (Junior)? I always seem to be the youngest person when I go to tech talks as well :)
Another junior here! It's always great to meet other passionate high school students at these conferences.

likewise if I can get it together... should do a NYer meetup out there, or before/after in the city
Count me in for before/after in nyc
OK, I RSVPed - ping me - contact info in my profile - doing some simple mad science experiments around doing a social aggregator for financial market news, so far it's sort of a semi-useful mashup of YC and TechMeme. Maybe grab drinks in NY the Wednesday or Thursday before heading out? or maybe meet up out there!

Great idea! Would also be fun to fly there together!?

When we set a date can announce for any other folks from NY.
