Just thought it was interesting because I hold a similar view. I wasn't going to sit through 4-5 hours of nonsense to get to the only good parts (Best picture, actor, actress). If they'd made those clips available at ABC's or Oscars' website, I would've gladly watched the clips there. Instead I had to find and watch low quality stuff on YouTube. Way to embrace that technology.

Pick a magazine on the rack and observe that most writers can't write. Most cabbies don't know their way around town, and a lot of barbers can't follow instructions when cutting hair.<p>Competence is in short supply all round.

Well, because it won't eliminate the junk messages vying for my attention, it will just earn me fake email currency for reading them. This does not help the overall goal of email overload.<p>If I trust the person sending the message, he/she can just use the "Priority" feature. If I don't trust him/her, then I don't see why messages with more virtual currency units are necessarily more important than those with less.

Exactly. You have control over the read-access permissions on any content on S3. Anything set to 'private' cannot be accessed by the outside world without a URL with an encrypted key salted with your private key and an expiration date. I am already doing this with my startup and it is a wonderful feature, with no fears of 'botnet attacks'.

I see what you're getting at. What I meant was, I work 50 hour weeks. During my spare time, I'm getting my business up and running. If I can ever be in a position which I can focus on my business full time without starving, then I'll do that. That'll happen right around when I save up $15k, or the business is successful. Just because there's no way out of my job doesn't make me not an entrepreneur :P

What would a completely transparent company be like? All resources, records, and processes available for comment (maybe modification?) by anyone. People that have run or are currently running startups could make suggestions on the business processes, the things going on in the company, and the products or services. Maybe the more eyes/fewer bugs idea applies to business?<p>I'm not sure of the full picture; It's an idea.<p>Cheers.

May I ask what you are studying over there at Cornell?<p>I read your paper and the conclusion that you arrived at is reminiscent of an observation on young entrepreneurship in this essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/mit.html. Starting a startup while you're still in school means that there is still an escape hatch. Just as you realized in your paper, if you fail, you are still a student, or "no worse off than before."<p>While I agree about the disjointedness of the paper, I think a rational-decision making model is absolutely applicable in an entrepreneurial sense if approached correctly.

Good point. I don't really have a major, I'm just whatever random classes I find interesting or useful. I'm taking classes in business, education, English, comp sci, etc. I've taken enough classes to get an Applied Economics & Management degree if I want it, but I'm pretty ambivalent between doing that and just leaving it as interdisciplinary studies on my diploma. <p>Also, you're right about the PG essay. I've obviously learned a lot since that experience and will not be making the same mistakes next time.

Why pre-announce it? To prevent people from using competitors in the meantime. Why the need to do that? Because Adobe is genuinely afraid of those competitors.<p>MSFT used to do this a lot. It doesn't require you to actually have something in 6 months; if people wait, you've achieved your goal. I'm surprised Arrington bought it.

So many great quotes and insights from this article:<p>"I hate being called a college dropout. It's like almost 10 years ago already. And I didn't drop out, I just decided to learn on my own.",
"i didn't drop out, i got kicked out, get it straight"<p>"I think it's underestimated how much work we put into it. Our success wasn't random - we work non-stop."<p>"Fact: The best ideas come from the bathroom."<p>"When i was out [in Silicon Valley,] every person i met gave me a business card that said CEO. It just seems like everyone is so up in each other's kool-aid they forget to just stfu and work."

Caterina's caveat... "I was talking here about consumer-facing Web 2.0 companies based in San Francisco and the Valley"<p>I think there are a lot of bad ideas floating around (http://www.paulgraham.com/bronze.html - Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas) but still, a bad time to start a company? A vibrant competetive market produces some of the best products, if nobody started a company when there was a lot of competition we'd be without Google (and many others). Thoughts?

I don't believe they have 1400 applicants. I think that must be a misunderstanding; that may be the number of people who'd asked for info about it.

You're presenting a false dichotomy. You don't get smaller code by making it incomprehensible. It gets smaller because it's cleaner and clearer.<p>Think of the problem in terms of compression. You can compress via syntax or by semantics. In the first case you end up with gzip and an unreadable compact mess. In the second you end up with a better, more elegant program, expressed via core, largely orthogonal concepts. For some reason you seem to think that a good programmer works like gzip. That's simply wrong.

You probably have a better spirit than I do. I have [well over 15k], and really enough to live on for years without FTE, but I'm waiting until I actually have a revenue stream before quitting my job.

that doesn't solve the problem that I (and I assume others) habitually press the back button when I'm done perusing comments in order to get to the main page. At this point when I press the back button it goes to a slightly older version of the comments page- and various other oddities.

I could easily believe it was that high- Keep in mind, the program got a good deal of publicity, not just in the areas where you'd normally expect, bug Digg, etc...<p>I think the model they're doing is Damn clever; Had I the money, I'd love to be doing the same thing. YCombinator is a great program, but $70-150K is a lot more to get something running, and a good way to pull the cream of the new startups to you..<p>The startups don't have much to lose, since it's only a loan.. And you get a guaranteed right of first refusal on some hot goods.<p>It's a clever product, not just a marketing angle.

A full-time startup project might mean 12+ hours a day. In that scenario it doesn't really hurt to spend the first few hours "getting in the zone" or "wasting time". If you only have a 3 hour slot then a couple non-productive hours can be crippling.

Excellent story, though I must admit I have read it before. I always wonder will history judge us the same way we judge them? Will the entrepreneurial spirit that is pervasive in hacker circles today be a positive or negative blip in the history of technology, economy, etc?
I certainly believe that it is for the better. Though not all startups may end well, the advances in ideas, and the experience gained by the individuals involved as well as the spectating world, should prove to be a positive note in our history.
And now back to work ;)

It's tempting to do that, but check this out. I sat down and created a spreadsheet, listing all my monthly debts (including food). I then said, "Okay, I will go out on foot and pitch 10 teachers per month to use my service, resulting in $100 / month increase in revenue." In the spreadsheet, you'll be able to predict your total cost per month, and the month that revenue exceeds debt, the total cost is how much money you need to start your startup. But one last thing: Whatever your debt is, double it per month. Whatever you predict your revenue will be, cut that in half. I came to a total of $15k, because I have small debts since I'm 19. But it really puts into perspective just how little it costs to start a startup.<p>By the way, what's your startup?<p>Shawn

I am finishing up my last semester of Business School and I just sit in class reading Popurls.com while teachers ramble on and on. I have learned so much more about entrepreneurship, history, news, world status, and everything else than my classes could possibly teach me. I am just glad all this training to be a sheep will be over soon.

Yeah, it can be crippling.<p>But once, I went a whole week sleeping 3 hours a day. I'd spend from 11-7 at work, then 8 PM - 7 AM on my startup, sleep 'til 10, repeat. I loaded up on NoDoz. After that week, I got a horrible cold, and was knocked out for the week after that (though I still went to work), but in the meantime I got a large number of features done.<p>My point is, if you have the drive and commitment, you will *find time*, even if your situation is biased against finding time.<p>Shawn
