Ah, would have loved to have seen that in the post. With that information, your post is a totally different read. Apologies.

Sorry for saying "douche", but depending on the tone in which he presented this idea to me, I might honestly say that. It's one thing to ask for 100 visas for YC, it's another thing to ask for 10 VCs spread across 10 different firms, and suggesting hat YC would take most of the burden of setting it up / distributing resources.
Re:The Founder Visa (again) on Monday March 17, 2014 @09:06PM (#7419290)
Hey, sam, great idea... how about you ask the US to give these 100 visas to ANOTHER firm first, if you really believe it. Otherwise, you sound like a selfish douche.

This is a JOKE. Let Y Combinator? Oh yeah, bro? Wow. If the US were to give ONE company this right, that would be complete bllsht. I like YC, but think before you speak.

ah makes sense...so that mean you are projecting danilo to get 27 tonight?
Re:Show HN: Fantasy Sports Solved through Dynamic Programming on Thursday February 20, 2014 @02:07PM (#7272868)
your optimal lineup for today has danilo as a SF, projected to get 27+ points, but he hasn't played a game all season, and is out tonight... which makes me wonder...

what data are you using to project averages? 2012-2013 season?

Bitcoin. easy.

Ask HN: What's the best way to describe your development skill set on a resume?

ex: "Skills: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ember.js, mongoDB, Rails, ..."Instead of having a plain list like the above, how do you list your skill set / differentiate your understanding & experience with them?I've been using the above setup for awhile, but I have a couple of problems with it:1) The list can get long, and potentially lose its value. Does ordering matter?2) What do I include? What...

um you're also in an 8 person league. easy to get great players in the draft.
On the same page in terms of checking emails frequently, but not necessarily responding immediately so that I can formulate a more complete response / address it fully when I have the time. That being said, what are your thoughts when someone takes a little too long to respond? Do you actively notice when people take longer than anticipated?

Ask HN: How quickly do you expect email responses or respond yourself?

Obviously, the priority of the email's content has a big effect on response times, but in general, how long do you expect it to take for someone to respond? Work-related, weekend-planning, recruiting, general inquiries from friends-of-friends, or whatever.Similarly, how many hours after sending an email do you assume it has been read? 2 hours? 4 hours? 12 hours? a day? Do you assume that an...

Re:Why HN Should Use Randomized Algorithms on Saturday October 05, 2013 @12:17AM (#6499395)
or, even better, make a "second page" of HN that's more prominent (like a link in the nav), so that it's not as if there is a front page, and then several other pages, but a front page AND a second page and then the rest...therefore, articles that are in this limbo can get some extra attention, and I would assume that, having differentiated a "second page" from the following pages, people would be at least as likely (if not more) to checkout what's not on the front page.
