18,300 | comment | shimon | 2007-05-01T03:34:31 | null | ed: you should give the Boston startup meetup a shot. We started it after YC's first Startup School (at Harvard in 2005) so initially it was entirely made up of this kind of crowd. The group has broadened quite a bit since then, and some of the early members have entered new ventures or moved to the SF bay area, but there's still a core of fairly young, hackery folks. You should drop by some time. (So far nobody has brandished a business plan, and AFAIK most of the group members' ventures are bootstrapped or angel-backed.)<p>On the other hand, there's something undeniably energizing about being able to engage <i>every</i> <i>single</i> <i>other</i> <i>person</i> at the table with you in a debate about filesystem performance (or whatever). A more focused group would probably do well. I want to be there (but might not be able to attend this one) and we should see if there's some way we can work together, because we both want the same thing: more happy smart people hacking on ambitious, interesting startups in Boston. | null | null | 18,027 | 17,969 | null | null | null | null |

18,302 | comment | albertcardona | 2007-05-01T04:02:58 | null | Drugs work because your body has the ability to react to them.
If your body can react to drugs is, usually, because there are internal receptors that can bind to them.
But of course naturally occurring concentrations of 'drug'-like components are much lower and extended over time than a pill, and the components themselves are milder than their drugstore counterparts (except counted instances such as norepinephrines). Besides the fact that generating them requires (usually) exercise (for example, for endorphines and melatonin/cortisol/tyroxine fine-tunning), and/or yoga-style body control.<p>A report from your friendly biomedical biologists. | null | null | 18,066 | 17,980 | null | null | null | null |

18,317 | comment | jmw | 2007-05-01T05:04:45 | null | Boston's still number 2 (behind silicon valley) in most recommendations of places to start a startup (in terms of available capital, nerds/smart people, and proximity to other growing businesses).<p>Another part of the argument goes along the lines of:
The YC Founders program is a 3 month intense program where the objective is to build as much of something people want during those 3 months while avoiding distractions of the real world.<p>In my own experience, unless you have a lot of friends in the Boston/Cambridge area - it's a lot easier to whole up down in Central/Harvard Square in Cambridge - than it is anywhere in San Fran or Palo Alto. There's just too much to do in the bay area (startup related networking / yc folks to chill with...etc).

If the site generates money, karma could be used as reference value to estimate an amount of revenue share they could get back. <p>This is already how it works in open source even if there isn't an explicit karma value. If good developpers and contributors are detected they may get an offer for a payed mission on the project or even better a permanent job.<p>PG said for instance that a good karma could catch their attention. Some sort of benefit to getting a good karma. <p>It is preferable that karma benefit are not made public and taken for granted otherwise the system could be perverted.

18,347 | comment | chmike | 2007-05-01T08:35:13 | null | Votes are important because it reflects the pertinence of the contribution and it should logically influence karma of contributors. <p>The more voters, the more significant is the voting result (see central limit theorm). If users can only up vote, the vote value is the same as the number of voters. But if users can also down vote, then the number of voters is a missing information. The number of readers is also a missing information. <p>If v is the vote value and n is the number of voters, v/n is the score. It is a value between -100% and 100%. 1/n is the vote weight on the score. A big vote weight could motivate people to read and vote. Karma would also influence vote weight. <p>The number of readers is also a usefull feedback, a kind of popularity, and it should also somehow influence karma.<p>Adding the possibility to view news sorted by score, popularity and/or weight would give new perspective on the information.<p>Last year I wanted to create an electronic journal using this mechanism with other features I'll keep secret for now. I had to give up for various reasons, though I still believe it can work if it gets enough funding to prime the money pump. The name 'ejnl.com' is now to sell. ;-) | null | null | 18,341 | 18,341 | null | null | null | null |

But the number of hardcore Actionscript developers in India is very small. <p>I dont really know if the Indian R&D facility of Microsoft contributes to .Net development , but one thing i know is that, practically every Indian computer engineer use .NET<p>This is where SilverLight matters. Microsoft's development tools are already very popular among some of the most brilliant [and cost effective], software engineers in the world.Imagine all the kind of applications these developers can churn out. If this happens, there will be a choice of applications for endusers to play around with on SilverLight .In such a scenario, users will be forced to install Silverlight , and SilverLight could get popular easily.<p>Basically Microsoft could leverage on all these developers, and bring in a real competition to Adobe Flash.<p>If the above said situation doesnt happen,Silverlight will probably die.<p>Me, for some reason, is not going to try SilverLight anytime soon. | null | null | 18,349 | 18,349 | null | null | null | null |

The server should run Fedora or Red Hat Linux with at least 1Gb ram.<p>Any suggestions ?<p>The cheapest provider I can find offers the above for about $120 per month (with unlimited bandwidth).<p>

18,372 | comment | Goladus | 2007-05-01T12:53:58 | null | Right. I disagree that ideas are worthless also. I think the point of the original essay is that you shouldn't let fear of having your idea stolen get the way of your goals. Given that, you can still take some steps to protect your ideas from potential competitors.

Is your app really that complex where you require these services or are you planning ahead for scaling issues?<p>Personally, I go with Dreamhost. The price is right, their service is awesome, and customer support is willing to help you with whatever you need. If scaling becomes an issue - then go looking for a dedicated host.<p>For 90% of the startups that launch, scaling will never become an issue. | null | null | 18,363 | 18,363 | null | [

Yes, your vote counts as much as mine, but if a group of users attempting to game the system are voting on that story - then that story requires more votes to get to the front of the page.<p>The throttling is implemented at the story level based on the users voting for that story and the pattern in which they are voting. | null | null | 18,201 | 18,201 | null | null | null | null |
