What are you basing your opinion off of? Almost every law textbook would disagree with you. There are three states where LLCs are commonly formed: Delaware, Nevada, and Florida. VCs, accountants, and lawyers are all familiar with the laws i

Another alternative is to go to Poly for a year or two and take care of some general requirements. Then, transfer to MIT. Schools are generally very receptive to transfer students who they originally admitted in the first place, especially

You'll probably have to look outside of science, but actually you are qualified for lots of policy and business jobs. The trick is to look for jobs that sound more social science/humanities, and then your science degree (despite being only

Of course. But I'm no longer looking for an internship - I already found one. Those other communities are great. However, a lot of that 21+ crowd socializes through happy hours - and I sadly wouldn't be able to participate. At this point I'

Just a suggestion - I'm sure there will be other interns like me who found their way to DC without this program. It'd be great if there was some sort of listserv that interns could just join (without applying to the program) to find each ot

Thanks for the suggestion. However, I find the other part of your comment non-constructive. If you don't think that my question is inappropriate for HN, fine. But just writing it off without giving any justification or advice doesn't do any

I always feel a twinge of sadness knowing that I can never be a 19 year old who invented something again.

I'd like to work in software. I went to college with the idea that I was going to go into banking or consulting, but then found that I didn't like the type of lifestyle these jobs involved. I did a lot of programming in high school, so I wa

Why squander an opportunity to get sign ups?

by deafcheese 16y ago
I agree. I was looking for a demo as well. A suggestion I have is to include a few screenshots on the landing page - perhaps incorporate them with the features list.

Maybe try putting more information on your landing page. People would be more likely to sign up if they had more than 5 words to figure out what your startup does.

Look for a job in Sales and Trading. Bulge bracket banks love programmers and quant types for trading. It's hard to get an interview by just applying on a website, so you'll want to reach out into your network and see if you can get someone

"I really do not get why I need a special day to say I love you" It's not about you. It's about her.

If you're looking to work in finance, try switching directly into a finance job before putting down the money for a MBA or MSF. You'd be surprised how receptive the finance community is towards programmers.

Interesting idea that definitely has potential. But the $100 application fee is definitely reminiscent of scholarships that you had to pay to get a shot at.

Is this unpaid? Pretty hard to bootstrap enough money to live in NYC.

Just approach it like you would any other conversation. Ask questions about their lives - everyone likes to talk about themselves. Make jokes. Try not to be nervous. Be yourself. There is no need to act differently just because you're talki

I agree. Usually when I visit a new site, I'm looking for a 30-second description of what its purpose is. It's too hard to figure out what your site actually does.

My econ degree is heavily econometric (stats) focused, so I have done a lot of R, Stat, EViews, etc. But I'm having a hard time figuring out how to make those skills applicable...?

What you're describing reminds me of a company I stumbled on a while ago - Recorded Future.

The problem really isn't in figuring out who cheated. We definitely have the technology to figure that out. The issue is punishing those people who did cheat. At my Top 10 university, cheaters were more or less punished with a slap on the w

Look for local shops that traditionally print college wear - fraternity/sorority gear. In my experience those have been cheaper.

I would say, if you're selling a pure product and not a service, you could wait to incorporate. Liability is more of an issue if you're working directly with clients or have a product that is intrinsically more risky.

If you lower the effort it takes to post to that extent, how would you stop the site from turning into a massive spam fest?
