I'm in the states on an L1-A right now which allowed me to bypass the PERM process and qualify for my green card under the EB1 classification; the waiting list under this class is only ~8 months.

3,608 | comment | whacked | 2007-03-11T17:49:43 | null | This entry asks a yes/no question, when there is no yes/no answer.
If you read the TechCrunch comments on FreeBase, there are a couple of people who say they had the exact same idea -- one even reserved "ifreebase.com." The idea is definitely not new. Facebook wasn't entirely novel either. There are a lot of factors that can make a good idea unprofitable, or a so-so idea a big hit (who knew what AJAX was before it was called "AJAX"?).
So, yes, your idea may be stolen if it's good. If your idea is obvious, there is a chance that people are just too lazy to implement it. The only way to win in either case, is to work damn hard on your idea until fruitition. | null | null | 3,447 | 3,447 | null | null | null | null |

I think the most frustrating part is when someone obviously doesn't understand what you're trying to do and proposes another route that is just bad. I think with any new concept people are very rarely capable of seeing another alternative outside of the way it's always been done. Any laughs I'd just shrug off as just them not understanding.

3,636 | comment | volida | 2007-03-11T20:55:34 | null | with "the beggining" i was reffering at the "later" you are talking about. the scale and the success of the web start-up is its beggining. And you need the people that will do that. Expect if you are the investor and paying them to do so...<p>To my mind and my experience unfortunately, if you have a co-founder who is doing only business without any other contribution (e.g. money) and he has same equity of your company as you then he is ripping you off. Better go to YC and give them 5-10% and access their network if you need a what u call program manager...<p>the reason you decide to start-up, is that although you don't know everything, it means you already know or u are willing to use other skills too and/or learn the rest (including those you are reffering to) , in order to encompass more characteristics --enough to take the risk to become a founder. Otherwise using one skill (e.g. programmer) should get you a job somewhere.<p>
an non-YC example with female co-founder I am aware of is Emily Boyd of www.rememberthemilk.com

And if there is and is launched even with some minor features showcasing the idea, then you'll receive feedback from the users, so you get this help from your users. This means, that having more features to produce you do need someone who is technically capable while the product/service is maturing.<p>Now if there is a product/service and that product needs someone to find clients that will pay for, and not relying in word of mouth, like most low budjet web start-ups do, then ok, you need someone who will help you with this, but does it really worth it giving up equity equal to yours? <p>For me, no because I believe that if its your idea (refering to 1 or more people), then you know it better.

3,665 | comment | ecuzzillo | 2007-03-12T01:59:22 | null | Seems to me that many good things have come from founders not knowing that something had been done before; also, in general, being the first to market with an idea doesn't seem to have a particularly big impact if someone comes along with a vastly better version, second. The concept seems flawed. | null | null | 3,635 | 3,635 | null | null | null | null |
3,666 | comment | eljefe | 2007-03-12T02:15:36 | null | It probably doesn't affect your chances of getting funded, but any potential investors will have a serious discussion about how your employer views intellectual property. In our case (YouOS), once we had received funding, we had to rewrite what we had developed from scratch, since our old company's employment agreement was a bear. | null | null | 3,571 | 3,571 | null | null | null | null |
3,667 | comment | goodgoblin | 2007-03-12T02:18:32 | null | I'm working on a startup on the side, and during the day I work with a couple of really amazing programmers on H1 visas. We get along great, I asked them to help, and before they started working my co-founder suggested we ask a lawyer, just in case.<p>We called the Murthy law firm (http://www.murthy.com/consult.html - experts in immigration law) for a free consultation and unfortunately were told that not only could my coworkers not work for us unless they
A) got an additional H1 Visa and
B) were paid market rates
but that they even came by and made the coffee on a regular basis they could be endangering their Visa status. We would have to actually put them on the payroll, which in our case would mean actually having a payroll. <p>Now, that is probably a bit alarmist but its the kind of thing that might scare off investors in the future. The sad part is that these guys would do amazing things for the startup. They have tons of free time, are absolutely the best programmers I've ever worked with and alot of fun as well. <p>So I'm no lawyer, just thought I'd share the bit of info I got on the subject. <p>

If you can see a new idea implemented & copy it you piggy back on the innovation of others thinking & implementing. <p>Compare for instance Flickr to say Zoomer. The later was developed post flickr & probably quicker. The point being Flickr came up with the wonderful clean url design, api design and concepts such as 'favourites'. It also showed there was a market. Zoomer copied lots of Flickr ideas without having to think, tinker & hack. | null | null | 3,502 | 3,447 | null | null | null | null |

* inline urls such as 'http://foo.com/bar' interpreted as links<p> - ie: http://foo.com/bar becomes a clickable url<p> * long urls are automatically converted to tinyurls<p> - noticed twitter doing this automatically now<p> | null | null | 363 | 363 | null | null | null | null |

3,675 | comment | drop19 | 2007-03-12T05:51:22 | null | I joined the entrepeneur meetup group and have been to one meeting; it was 3 people who were in business to cater to small businesses (like accountants and marketing people), and everyone else was technical, so it was a good experience for me. Those three nontechnical people were really good contacts to make. The list you're talking about doesn't sound too promising though. | null | null | 3,627 | 3,441 | null | null | null | null |
3,676 | comment | drop19 | 2007-03-12T05:53:42 | null | well, all I can tell you is that from looking at the logs, there are a lot of people out there who are searching for someone with common interests that they must not be finding through normal channels. I'm especially seeing it with people overseas -- that was a surprise for me. I think that is a strong indicator that YCombinator has large overseas following. | null | null | 3,638 | 3,441 | null | null | null | null |

Could it be to understand, get along with each other. Why is social intelligence so important in groups?<p>It's a good read because it may have implications/insights for the social software explosion going on written/designed by programmers/hackers with slightly *warped* (in a good way) social intelligence. | null | null | 3,682 | 3,682 | null | null | null | null |
