I'm a big advocate of gradual deployment, both in terms of features (limiting your changelog) as towards userbase (not deploying it for everybody at once if it's a sensitive update). Not really too concerned anymore about what time of the day, I think OP has a few valid points there.

I like the idea of designing with a grid in mind (I use the 960 grid for many of my projects), but I never use the CSS framework to convert it to html. I just don't see the point, every design is unique and handcoding is always more perfect/cleaner, yet doesn't take much longer, if at all, to write.

I think we had 3 or 4 retakes, almost all because we end up laughing. (We have almost an half hour bloopers besides that with random rambling though :p). We did prepare some general subjects, mainly cause my friend had a hard time getting out of his words. He really didn't like doing it but realized it was a necessary evil to being even remotely considered for YC. In hindsight it's far from perfect and our idea has somewhat progressed, but I'm not really going to make him suffer through a re-take so our video stands. It's not perfect but hey, it puts a face on the words, and hopefully it conveys some of our passion, which is the most important about it anyway.

Haha, I was thinking exactly the same thing :) Professional handicap I guess.

I've did a lot of gaming when I was younger, and always on a super competitive level. I think it's more that personality trait of close to obsessive competitivity that translates into being good employees, or anything they put their mind to for that matter. Some of the things you list are very concrete in-game examples, but I feel can all be summarized as a result of people taking the game more "serious". But you definitely have a point.

Would I ever mention anything about my gaming history on a job interview though? Unless I know the interviewer would be really into it, sadly, no.

I did not try the app yet, it def looks promising. Maybe reconsider the background color for your landing page though, that green/brown may not be the most appetizing color out there.

In Vegas where at check-in, if you slide a 20$ bill with your CC & passport and ask for "any complementary upgrades", you can get a free room upgrade. If you do a quick search you'll notice how common this trick is, and the success rate for most hotels is in the 80-90% region.

This is so skewed. 1800 participants, all with different health backgrounds, then divided into 3 groups of heavy, moderate and never. That's not really a sample size to get any definite conclusion from. These results might be a reason to do a more trough research at the most.

The variance on this thing is huge. To tie their drinking habits to their mortality, negating all other factors, on this sample size, is ridiculous.

I really liked the idea, although a bit rough executed in the beginning, from the letter onwards upto the finale it really all fell into place.

I loved how the birds that flew off the letters were kinda synced with the other 2 popups.

Great guest indeed.

Jason is a true salesman. He knows how to get people's attention. Controversy is great in helping him just do that. But see through that (obvious) persona; he has incredible insight to share based on his years of experience as entrepreneur. He loves what he does, although he is not directly a hacker, he still is an entrepreneur. One that is willing to share everything he knows and is actively helping the community. He can call me a nerd all day for that.
