Where is the down arrow???

God, that article has the worst pagination ever.

Paraphrasing pg, it's easier for a hacker to learn business than a business guy to learn hacking.

Always find a way to go outside at least once daily.

Start going to the gym, go for runs, pick up fresh groceries for dinner, do some light work at cafes.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to mean.

I don't hit on the things you listed either. At the time of your application, you won't be able to do much about any of those. You can change your attitude though. By attitude, I didn't and don't mean you're a jerk. I meant more in terms of optimism.

They did last year.

That's a cool idea.

Sweet! Jessica pulls through with another great lineup.

Though I admit I'm most looking forward to pg's always entertaining talk.

The only blocker I see in what you mentioned is your attitude.

Disqus does.

Hey Andrew. I really, really like the site design and overall presentation. Best of luck moving forward.

  >> how many startups could they fund with $45 billion? 
  100? 200? 1000? why exactly do they want to be at the helm
  of a slowly dying web portal left over from the first dot com boom?

I understand the "startups are king" mentality around here, but come on. Regardless of their quarterly performance, Yahoo! is one of the biggest brand names on the web. Microsoft won't establish a bigger web presence by "funding startups."

I was just casually talking about this with an early ex-Yahoo yesterday. We were just pondering the possibilities for Yahoo in 2008. Holy shit -- what a coincidence.

He said this: A Microsoft deal is unlikely because (when he was there) all the Yahoos hated Microsoft. If an acquisition happens, it'd be hostile and the core guys will jump ship.

I nodded in agreement. But then this happens.

Word. I want to see black shirts on Thurs!

Congrats guys - awesome, awesome news.

Now we can do away with the awkward silence when I smugly ask what you guys have been up to.

Plan your trip and have a go. There's not much to look at in the south bay, but you can have your fill of tech company logos.

Email a few of your favorite companies and tell them your story. Most would be happy to show you around.

The web is social now, right? Use it to your advantage. Facebook, Twitter, Upcoming, and even Valleywag is full of local event schedules.

I liked the Cambridge YC HQ quite a bit. It's much homier than the one in MV.

Very cool. I've recently started using http://keishi.net/ipodia/ for online Wikipedia browsing. Good if you iPhone isn't jailbroken.

He never said it would be Facebook.

I think a modularized web will be a big part of what's coming up.

YC is the closest link to YC, smarty.

I obsessively click and highlight text while I read, so it quickly becomes annoying for me.

Anyhow, I have already have the answers.com plugin for Firefox, which brings up that overlay on command.

Is that listed by frequency? If news.yc existed in 2000 I wonder what the list would look like.

I have lived in the Bay Area since birth and it has never crossed my mind to be wary of earthquakes.

If you're considering packing up your life and starting anew here, earthquakes should not be the blocker.

It actually stopped indexing news.yc in the summer time (some minor thing tripped it up, but it hasn't been tended to).

We should probably put a message up telling people to stop using it, or link to this new one. Nice work.

I support this idea. I'll make my comeback yet.

Make sure to pick a name that can be pronounced two different ways. It's better when the prevailing pronunciation is the one you don't use.

Doubles the startup excitement!

Data Mattress FTW

Yeah, it's definitely a problem. It'll need SEO work on our end and that's what we're doing.
