Re:Y Combinator to recruit more black entrepreneurs on Friday August 29, 2014 @10:33PM (#8245398)
I hate it when someone says we'd like to fund more from a "minority" such as women or black people or XXX like YC has done in the past. What does this do?

1. For the minority this makes them feel like they "need help" and they are "not good enough" unless they are given an unfair advantage

2. For the majority, it makes them feel sidelined and at an unfair disadvantage when applying

YC needs to just promote entrepreneurship and not colour. For the record, I am a coloured man, unfortunately not black to be able to take advantage of this latest "minority giveaway"

You could have at least called the founder and asked what he meant, instead of bashing him here. You could have asked him to add more clarification in his blog which might have ensured that what your pointing to is not implied.

You guys are growing and its important to scale your communication as well.

I think what she meant was being put in the same category as people who had committed real crimes which warrants harsh treatments like confinements. I don't think she meant treat me specially :)

It's like saying sex toys will eventually replace having sex because why waste time dating, courting and then having sex :) when you could just use a toy + redtube and get it over with in 10 minutes.

These are what I call "Get me some Press" companies from a VC / YC perspective. Will make the cover of WSJ ... get a ton of attention to the company and investors and eventually be dead in 3-4 years.

I imagine this expansion will hopefully lead to a larger batch being selected this year as there are more mentors available.

Ask HN: YC Application – 0 Video Views

Our application still has 0 views in the introduction video. With just 6 days away from the results, I am inclined to think we are not gonna be in the shortlist.If you were rejected in one of the previous application cycles, did you also have 0 views? If yes, this could be a good way of "getting the result before its announced" :)All the best to everyone who applied!

On April 15, we'll invite the groups that seem most promising to meet us in Mountain View between April 24 and 28 ----

Re:Paul Graham on Building Companies for Fast Growth on Tuesday August 27, 2013 @04:00AM (#6282099)
Funny --- next time when YC rejects a company with foreign founders, you should ask them "Was it the idea or the accent?" :D Hilarious ...
Re:Paul Graham on Building Companies for Fast Growth on Tuesday August 27, 2013 @03:59AM (#6282092)
If found it worth a mention for a worldwide released article ... I am sure its pretty high on his list

Me too! I would have thought there could be so many things in the number 1 spot ... and then this :)
Re:We Need To Talk, Google on Thursday August 22, 2013 @06:37AM (#6256280)
Either build your own or do not complain when it is free. Its fair. You cannot "demand" in exchange for FREE
Re:We Need To Talk, Google on Wednesday August 21, 2013 @04:07PM (#6252986)
You should try to build own your video hosting site or SHUT UP. At least Youtube is free, the last time I checked F-Secure was not, so SHUT UP! or build your own :)
I figured the whole "be loyal to yourself" stuff almost in my first job when I was not allowed to rise up the ladder too quick as "more senior people" need to be promoted first. That day I decided my job will always be my plan B. I am happy to report now I run my own , very profitable business and have achieved financial freedom from JOBS and BOSSES
Re:My Startup has 30 Days to Live on Wednesday June 26, 2013 @12:17AM (#5944163)
Don't get me wrong but this is the classic example of "following the herd" of current gen startups --- too much focus on pleasing investors, raising money, eventually realizing you've relinquished control == don't feel sense of ownership in the company, straying from the vision or not getting enough traction, founders breaking up and then the ship sinking!

Re:My Code made it to a Hollywood Movie on Sunday April 07, 2013 @05:34AM (#5506632)
The Wiki article lifted the code from Vivek's site (the author). This is how I solved the mystery:

http://cs.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Raw_socket&dif...

Do you see they mention a reference: http://security-freak.net/raw-sockets/raw-sockets.html which was later removed as the site is now down. Both the code + the reference was added by the same author on wikipedia on the same day in 2011.

A whois on Security-Freak.net gives me that Vivek is still the owner of the domain: http://whois.domaintools.com/security-freak.net

This matches the whois person for securitytube.net (OP's site) http://whois.domaintools.com/securitytube.net

Proof 2: Wayback machine:

http://web.archive.org/web/20071217111629/http://www.securit...

Code: http://web.archive.org/web/20071219013022/http://www.securit...

The above C file is the exact same code posted in the Wiki article - in 2011 which was there on security-freak.net in 2007.

A new reason why to comment your code well :)
