Most Early Admissions programs are no longer binding. Students from families earning less than 100K no longer have to pay tuition at several top schools. Every school I was accepted to pretty much offered the same financial aid, which was i

LOL. Pincus had the absolute worst speech at "Startup School". He didn't prepare anything and just meandered aimlessly from one thought to the next, rambling on about his life story. It was almost intolerable.

Anything that cites Outliers instantly loses credibility for me. Maybe his presentations became more visual throughout the decades because of the technology available.

Well according to Quantcast, this site now only gets 5.9K US visitors a month, so you might not need even 5K to have a decent site. At its peak HN got around 17.4K. Showing the summary of the story is a REALLY good idea. It's also cool that

Yup this is similar to the cool thing that Chegg introduced after years of just facilitating student-to-student exchanges. I used to just sell to students directly (and usually could come very close to covering initial purchase price), but

My personal opinion is that it's time to let SQL and RDMS go. Free the world from the shackles of schema.

You go to business school because you need that MBA for your job or to switch jobs. It is not about learning. It is about networking (and partying) for two years. If you want to be an entrepreneur, sitting in a lecture about entrepreneurshi

Xbox has done pretty well. There's too much blind Microsoft hate on this site.

Wow. And check out www.fundable.com Customers are encouraged to use Kickstarter as a replacement for Fundable.com and seek legal action against Louis Helm personally should he fail to resolve your payment issues promptly.

The hilarity continues at PDXCell.com Check out the section entitled: "A response to this page". Shoulda known he was an Apple fanboy.

Why should the Goldbach Conjecture be included? Just because a problem's formation is easy for many people to understand doesn't mean it is an easy problem that should have been solved. The Goldbach Conjecture would be better classified as

Yeah, she clearly has such a shallow understanding of mathematics that there is no way she can begin to appreciate what Perelman achieved or write anything intelligible about his process. "Perelman has a mind that is capable of taking in mo

Most Admired: Bill Gates - he's the only one I can think of who's truly top-notch from both a technical and a business standpoint Who I wish I were: Steve Chen and Chad Hurley - they went from idea to $1.65 billion in a year-and-a-half

I guess I shouldn't bother applying. I am unreasonable, freeze in the face of fear, lie pathologically, hate leverage (seriously though, when did corporatespeak become a value?), and favor hotness over chillness.

Chandra is clearly an untrustworthy scumbag. He can't speak perfect English and isn't even white. This alone makes Michael Arrington the legitimate creator of the JooPad. Chandra's story is full of holes. I mean, who cares about who actuall

No. The people who friend everybody are not real Facebook users. They are generally older people, already out of college/grad school who are unable to build a true network of acquaintances on Facebook and are just on Facebook to feel as tho

Yes. This is the major problem with leaving out a public option. There is no way to control costs without one. Preventative medicine has been shown to improve patient outcomes but has also been shown to increase, not lower, costs.

Just want to point out Chegg seeing as no one else has brought it up. They're a similar site and pretty big. The difference is that they hold their own inventory, and students can sell their used books to Chegg.

This is definitely one of my favorite speeches of all time. It's so inspirational, particularly for a young college student aspiring to be a great entrepreneur. Too bad they couldn't find someone better than Anthony Kennedy for the '09 Comm

Good point. Business plan competitions are good indicators of who can succeed in cashing out during dot-com bubbles. Essentially, you presenting a business to group of clueless individuals. If they buy your pitch, you are more likely to be
