I suggest this time around YC picks a handful of apps and sends them feedback. It'll be like the next best thing to getting an interview. i don't see how unfair it is. they're already selecting a handful for interviews.
"I've seen people do worse things to you in corporate settings than i see them doing on the street. They take everything from you" - 50cent (from the "Champs" documentary)
Well bad names which own their .com are far more worse. bvckup2.com? seriously? too bad for a great product. There are other examples out there it baffles me.
In what way? i find it sad that Mars One > family for some "nerds". Family is the real mission and the real heros are those who achieve that status. Family also has a greater social benefit. The OP talks about Mars One as the mission that has great social benefit. That's really sad.
My doubt is based on divine scriptures, and there are experiments (as per the article i mentioned) that agree with it. What's wrong with that? You can still experiment and prove divine wisdom, it doesn't have to be forced knowledge.
as i answered before, merely on a non-secular basis. Not all knowledge comes from science and experiments. There is so much knowledge in religious scriptures.
I'm a non-secular person that's why. I certainly don't have the numbers, i read them here and there. But i base it on knowledge coming from scriptures. Scientists are hardworking people, but i don't take their numbers as faith.
i read an article a while back on the economist which suggested that if you look at a longer span (much longer than 1880) you will find that this is a natural cycle that the Earth/Sun go through. We just happen to be at that point in the cycle. i really doubt we humans can affect climate changes in any way. An interactive colourful plot doesn't convince me.
I don't know about oil-rich countries, but Lebanon has allowed over 1 million Syrian refugees in. I don't think it has to do with Muslims only, it's an Arab issue.
i'm working on automating texture compression for game authors. i'm imagining a tool that automagically compresses assets for best quality and size, and very quickly, in a way a game author wouldn't have to even know it's happening. At this point i'd like to talk to game authors about their texture compression pains.
Your opinion of the book is interesting. is it safe to say that you haven't read it? i'm assuming that because there is no poetry in there. Just assuming. Otherwise your opinion is interesting because there is a large group of people who share the same. i personally found it mind blowing.
It's a religious scripture. Unfortunately you need to learn Arabic first. Translations don't do it justice to say the least. The book is called The Quran. It talks about parallel universes, "aliens", super heroes, travelling through space and time, how ants communicate, and even modern superpower alliances. It's a hard read even if you know Arabic. For instance, reading a phrase from the first chapter will not make sense unless you reach later chapters. It even has encrypted letter combinations that have not been unlocked yet. i've read it twice from cover to cover, and about to start my third.
in my opinion you're not a "bad programmer". Since when has cobbling things together until they work or making a lot of mistakes called bad programming. Keep doing what you're doing if it's working for you. Don't stress to become like other people. You will be surprised how many fast problem solvers i met and found out they're just solving the same problem over and over again. but hey i might be a bad programmer myself, so it's just my opinion.
awesome, i subscribed to several search options. if there is a way to subscribe to several at once rather than each individually (with activation) perhaps it would be nicer. You seem like someone who can easily put that in. Great work. Also i think "remote" should be a search option up there, it has many results. Cheers.
Edit: The suggestions at the bottom of the detail page is perfect. it's what kept me on board.
