According to my experience last session this isn't correct. Invite emails went out 6:59pm EST.

Seriously, before asking for people's personal info can you give us at least a sentence or two about why you want it?

If it were me, I'd remove it. You're basically trying to piggyback off of their reputation and advertising, and they clearly aren't down with that. It's better to make friends (yes, even competitors) than enemies this early in the game. Bes

I don't know which I find more puzzling- that you have figured out how much Mercury costs, or that you've decided to buy it.

The original post used the term "formed," and I used "make," both with the intent of using only dots to create a circle. I would say you have "included" two dots in your circle, with this new line being the main element. With all due respec

Well, that's exactly it. Everyone else seemed to "be in the loop" compared to me. People don't always think to mass-email a silly picture of their baby or their latest comment on world news, but those are things I definitely appreciate bein

As much as it's good to "fight the good fight" against FaceBook, it's fast becoming an expected means of communicating. Believe me, I deleted mine years ago and finally had to come back because I realized I was actually hindered in real way

Just a note- I believe YC specifically asks that you don't broadcast that you are in the running. As such, you probably won't see many affirmative comments from people who were asked to interview.

Crucial Gizmo Jr. I keep one in my wallet with all of my most important documents (encrypted of course). It's also made it through a few times in the wash. http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?imodule=CT8GBUFD...

I see desktop workspaces as virtual auxiliary displays. I prefer a dual-display setup, and it's changed the way I use a computer. When I am on my laptop I feel extremely constrained by having only one display, so I make extensive use of OSX

Thanks! Are there offices there, or is it all shared space?

Competitors don't have be your enemies. In fact, they should be helping to keep you on your toes and create products that are better than theirs. Maybe you should reach out to them to say hi; if they're in the same market as you, you should

This is very, very good. Now you just need some pretty graphics and turn it into an iPhone/Android/Facebook app and you'll be all set.

Check out http://newyork.craigslist.org/jsy/sub/ . Hoboken and Jersey City are a 10-15 minute subway (PATH train) from midtown Manhattan and you'll pay a whole lot less in rent and things like groceries/beer. Also you actually can see the

This hasn't really been mentioned yet, but to me a laptop is a big purchase, so I look at resale value as a factor. The cycle I keep is about 2 years on my Macs (and definitely buy AppleCare), then sell them off. Usually I can get about 50-

Well, it depends on what business Best Buy is in. If they're just a vehicle of getting merchandise to customers, you're right; it's not their probem. However, they're going to lose to Amazon in a heartbeat since they'll never be able to win

The vending machine saves money on staffing at the expense of the customer being able to examine or ask questions about what they're purchasing. It would make sense actually to have an even better return policy than the brick and mortar sto

I know that's an easy feeling to slip into (if you're serious), but it doesn't make any sense to feel that way. You know everything about your startup, all of its nuances and exactly how you'll change the world. PG and team know what you ha

There's definitely been a dip in productivity here today haha. One thing I wonder is if they call or email? YC's application page says "We'll call you," but all of the stories I've read says people have received email invites. edit- Maybe i

It should be interesting to see what happens when Sergey and Larry gain complete control over the company after the stock split. "Tech Dictatorship" seemed to work well under Jobs, maybe these guys will make some riskier decisions in the na

My prediction is that Apple has been biding their time and preparing to dominate the console gaming market. Think about it- the iPod touch and iPhone are becoming more and more robust in terms of hardware, I don't know the benchmarks but I'
