PG does seem to make this differentiation: http://ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html What does "deeply interesting" mean? It means stuff that teaches you about the world. A story about a robbery, for example, would probably not be deeply i

I'm still in school; just finished 3A, so ive got a pretty fresh look at things. It seems to me Waterloo's stature is rising in The Valley, and they are offering more jobs. I had about 30-40% of my class go to Apple this semester, for examp

Musk is one of my hero's, but his first company was a web start up that help publisher's get news articles and other content online. He then built a money management system, which eventually became part of Paypal. These are hardly the world
