The point is that YC's model contradicts what you said. It's relatively inexpensive to build an initial version of a product. Build something as quickly as possible, get user feedback, and keep iterating. I can guarantee you won&#

I've been on this website a long time and I suppose the userbase has grown quite a bit. I don't assume everyone has read all of Paul Graham's articles or even know who he is, but are you familiar with how YCombinator works? E

> generally people say one should market their product first then build it if there's enough demand I don't agree this is the common wisdom, and it's kind of a surprising take to see on this website specifically.

Blitz and even bullet are great for tactics and pattern recognition, especially for < 2000 rated players.

I don't see how the sum would be unique to a particular combination of letters.

In all the interviews I've been a part of (1.5 years, maybe ~50 candidates), I've never seen a candidate decline because of salary requirements. We would decide if they were a good hire, and HR would make it happen.

benihana made good points IMO. A couple PG-13 words doesn't warrant a ban.

I don't play as much chess that much anymore, but ICC (chessclub.com) was the king (and I'd guess that it still is). You don't play via the website though. Same for other chess servers (FICS, etc).

I hate this game for some reason, whereas I really liked 2048. Not sure why.

Interesting post, but please don't preface submission titles with "Show HN:", especially if it's not some personal project.

You could buy a first class ticket and hold on to it for a year, then use the lounges whenever you actually do travel. It doesn't look like this is possible in the US though. I don't see an airline that offers their lounge just fo

Possibly things have changed, but I remember PG posted his correspondence with a car salesman via email trying to buy a Jetta or something. Basically got stonewalled.

There was some headline about a week ago that said roughly 1000 people own half of all bitcoins.

How would prosecutors go about that? Going through all his blog posts to look for depression? And that would be standard procedure for everyone they prosecute?

Politicians should represent the entire country... Suppose I decide to vote instead of not voting at all. So now the winning candidate (who I may or may not have voted for) represents me, whereas he didn't if I hadn't voted? ...prisoners

Originally it was called "Startup News". PG announced he was making a new site not focused on startups, since that got kind of dull. Instead he changed the name of this site and nothing really changed. My memory is kind of vague, but I beli

I'd bet a majority of reddit users have never heard of digg.

Probably true. When I asked a blackjack dealer why they didn't have automatic shufflers, she mentioned the shufflers aren't purchased, they're leased.

Whenever I see "This", I picture a caveman pointing and barking.

No, he's not saying that at all. That's explicit if you just read his last sentence.

Calling The Economist "capitalist" isn't much of an aspersion, even if it was meant that way. And an aspersion isn't an ad hominem.

by aquateen 14y ago
That was not an ad hominem. I really hate that phrase thrown about. Seems full of questions rather than accusations, and I didn't see obscure mentioned anywhere.

Is it really that ambiguous given the submission title?

I've never heard of Kasparov actually crying after losing to Deep Blue. Reference?

It's not extremely common for people to list their location in their profile, but for some reason I was compelled to click on your username. What a surprise I see "Los Angeles."
