Basically, Paul Graham taught nerds how to be rich. So now they are suave.

You mean Justin Kan?

I think Spolsky settled this dichotomy back in 2000: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000056.html

Please give suggestions for the top text.

A better question would have been "what are the big failures of YC" - smaller list to iterate through.

If the reason your not offering someone a job is because they messed up technical questions, I think its a good idea to give them candid feedback on the spot. Its objective. If you are having to choose among several qualified candidates, then I think this is asking for trouble, since there isnt an objective clear reason for the person not getting the job.

Please have the speaker in the demo SLOW DOWN. It was hard to keep up with her as she showed off the software.

I wish the $101 savings applied to refurbs

The places im interviewing are are the opposite of startups. One was a community college, very rude .. when I asked why I wasnt notified that the position was filled she said "im planning to send out an email". No email to date and this was a 3 weeks ago.

Ok, that is awesome. You should put some text explaining that somewhere on the page.

How is this different than scraping the results of a youtube search and embedding a result?

If your business requires TechCrunch noticing you to be successful, then its a bad idea for you, pick something else in your league.

Yes of these strategies "work" for a while by taking advantage of pricing anomalies and multiplying the difference a million times over. The problem is in order to make a decent return with this approach you have to be heavily leveraged, and eventually when the tail outcome on the bad side occurs, you lose your ass, as in LTCM.

These statistical arbitrage trading strategies dont work. The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. Focus on creating value, and not just swaping it around.

Nathan Myhrvold is also a patent troll:

Its hard to differentiate between Wolfram the intellectual and Wolfram the Mathematica peddler.

I recommend learning Blub

Are you calling Arc Lisp slow?

There is always going to be hype around high variance career paths, because so little is understood about was factors are causal for success.

In low variance career paths, things are pretty straightforward so there is little blog about.

I hope this gets ported to OS X and Windows

Looks good. The only criticism I would have is that those inclined to install JGR and Deducer are those least likely to be interested in GUIs.

Thanks for the links. Looks like this project is focusing more on the command line..mine will have it, but its not the focus.

soon, but right now its just standard interactive R console via the web ( with interactive graphics).

Yes Ive talked to Jeroen, nice guy.

Thanks!
