602 | comment | mhn | "2007-02-23T03:44:22" | null | Sometimes it's not extremely expensive to get started, but it very time consuming. Does that mean youre more/less committed than another entrepreneur who has spent a ton of money getting a company rolling? I think a persons answer to these questions can tell what they value more. Additionally, I always have a hard time considering someone to be uncommitted to a startup if they are working a separate full time job to support their family. Whenever I come across that argument, I cant help but think: Just imagine what Ill be able to do when Im working 100 hours/week for my company rather than 60 for my company and 40 for another

Sorry about that.<p>If anyone cares, it was because the http server is also written in Arc, on top of MzScheme, and we misread the MzScheme doc on make-limited-input-port to believe that limit-k referred to k of bytes. In fact it refers to bytes. So while we thought we were capping http requests at 2 meg, we were in fact capping them at 2k. | null | null | 479 | 445 | null | [

635 | comment | akkartik | "2007-02-23T07:44:16" | null | The most insightful statement IMO: "If you're going into business with somebody that you've never actually worked on a project with, I'd recommend starting on something a little easier and smaller before creating the next Google."<p>I've often wondered what the difference is between working on an open source project on the side and working on a startup. The differences seem to be in expectation and in emphasis (what users want rather than simply scratching a personal itch). Now it starts to appear that there is a continuum between the two. Perhaps an open-source project is a good way to find co-founders. | null | null | 538 | 538 | null | null | null | null |
636 | comment | jwecker | "2007-02-23T08:39:24" | null | If it is an excellent tool by itself, then it has a much better chance of acceptance. That is, if you yourself can't stop using it regardless of who else is using it, it is a stronger product. del.icio.us is like that- I started using it because it was a nice central place to store bookmarks regardless of who else was using it. It was only later that I started noticing how many others were bookmarking and even started using it as a search engine. Flickr- same thing. Youtube & myspace- still kind of the same- say I was the first user of youtube, I may still like it so that I can put my videos in one place and shoot off an email to my buddies to go have a look. The point is the tool better be compelling without a community or you'll never be able to grow a community. Even here the content coming from one poster is compelling (enough) even before a dozen users started commenting and posting, etc. Focus on the tool. I couldn't agree more. | null | null | 612 | 495 | null | null | null | null |

Successful single founders is necessary to encompass a lot more characteristics. It's difficult enough to find 2 motivated people to take risk starting up, finding 2-in-1 it will be a lot harder. But if they try to avoid it, althout they don't exclude it, it doesn't mean it can happen at YC, or someone on his/her own.

652 | comment | Harj | "2007-02-23T10:20:38" | null | I think that's the point Allen is trying to make - if you're trying to build a sustainable company in its own right i.e. not looking to have Google acquire it, then it takes time.

654 | comment | jwecker | "2007-02-23T10:23:49" | null | I agree with the post. When an idea is new there is a tendency to feel like it needs protecting.

By the time you get a real good idea working you won't care if the whole world knows. You know that as simple as the idea sounded, it's really thousands of hours of blood sweat dollars and tears.

659 | comment | sharpshoot | "2007-02-23T11:07:50" | null | yeah agree. Another cool metric is "if your idea can be given away by telling someone" then it doesn't have enough depth" Most simple things are way more complicated when u do them - and thats in the thought of the implementation. <p>Just look at eBay - a platform for auctioning goods. The depth comes in generating a trust system (how?) then making it easy to list, and for people to send each other goods. Then each of these ideas can be fleshed out. So its not really one idea - its a whole bunch including design decisions, customer acquisition strategies, page element preferences, copy, bug fixing - a whole load. | null | null | 654 | 638 | null | [

670 | comment | jwecker | "2007-02-23T13:10:33" | null | Marked up the article because it's hilarious, but honestly I don't know what I'm getting out of it. It's a panel of 6 people who won the lottery [meaning, in Paul's nomenclature, only 1 or 2 were actually trying to actually build wealth or solve a difficult problem]. Well, there is a lesson- be responsive to your audience, and when they start coming in droves do what they want, and then sell advertising. | null | null | 667 | 667 | null | [

672 | comment | eli | "2007-02-23T13:25:39" | null | I should add that this post is a bit hard to follow, but I think it makes some excellent points.

673 | comment | amikael | "2007-02-23T13:27:08" | null | The difference is that it's completely serverside, which allows developers to create "real" webapplications with deep database connections and complete server rights, and not just fun clientside widgets.
The Ajax interface is automatically generated so the clientside experience is a webtop in appearence, but not a limited in reality.

676 | comment | amichail | "2007-02-23T14:00:39" | null | I like this idea but I think success may be limited to games that are highly visual in nature. In fact, the same may be said of startups in general: video is better than images and images are better than text. BTW, the Google talk by Luis on these sorts of games is a must-see: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8246463980976635143 | null | null | 604 | 604 | null | [

681 | comment | jmzachary | "2007-02-23T14:36:04" | null | Have you discovered an upper bound? The commonly held belief is that people over X (where 30 < X 35?) can't start startups because they have kids and a mortgage, or they just aren't in-tune with what's hip. Curiously, that excludes people who have "been there and seen that", the best current example being AJAX. Also, those who have taken a few more trips around the Sun also may recognize niches that 19-25 years would never see. My impression is that Y-Combinator is an attractor for the younger entrepreneur.<p>Full disclosure: I'm in the range above, planning to start a company, and not trolling for Y-Combinator dollars. | null | null | 572 | 227 | null | [

693 | comment | phil | "2007-02-23T15:57:35" | null | this seems like one of those ideas that's obvious when someone points it out to you: someday interfaces will have better scenery so we can recognize where we are in our data.<p>but this particular one seems pretty counterintuitive. it will be deeply weird if in the future we're all sifting through little piles of fractal amoebae to find our files. | null | null | 677 | 677 | null | null | null | null |

697 | comment | danw | "2007-02-23T16:22:40" | null | You can get a 90 visa waiver if you're from most EU countries. You'll need to prove that you intend to return to the EU afterwards, for example you'll need to be employed by an EU company. I'm unsure about a more long term solution. I've heard of some people getting employed by friends in the US in order to get a visa. Might be worth looking into. | null | null | 680 | 445 | null | null | null | null |
