Can I ask which changes were necessary to get through Hotmail? Gmail isn't a problem, but Hotmail occasionally is for us. (Same situation - registration confirmation, etc.)
Market Puts on Its Rally Cap
As the market has spiraled down the last few weeks traders have been looking for clear capitulation in the market. Fear has increased slightly on several occasions but the extreme panic and devastation have not come to fruition. Today was another opportunity for the market to put in this clear bottom if the stars aligned, but instead factors contributed to a powerful market bounce. Bernanke, Paulson and even President Bush have tried to mitigate fears by sounding off on the health of our financial system. Oil continued its strong pull-in as inventories began to pile-up.
The market hit the top of our target 10650-10850 yesterday so we changed our strategy to look to the upside, putting both short and long-term money to work. This move still has upside room to test the Dow Jones pivot breakdown of 11550-11650 and the S&P 1255-1265. The financials will continue to be key as they still need to prove themselves after strong rebounds today. Earnings season really kicks into gear tommorow so it will also be important to watch how the markets react to potential bad news, especially in market leaders.
Coal Hard Truth for ANR After Merger
Today's play of the day was in the coal company ANR. In the past month, the stock has created new highs and new lows which characterizes a perfect megaphone pattern. Although the company merged with the major miner group, Cleveland-Cliffs, the stock behaved as predicted in the play of the day. The trigger short price was yesterday's low of 103 for a move toward the lower trend line. The target price has yet to be reached, which signals a continuation down. Keep this play on your radar as the recently formed company becomes the king of American miners.
Great idea and thank you for offering your services.

I've always wondered if we can just pool the talent available here, with people advertising what they're good at. For those that aren't deeply involved in their own start ups, this can almost be fun. If someone has a good idea of something they want to hack up, just try to pull a few
people from this ether of talent, and try to build something very quickly. I'm talking about maximum of a few days of highly-parallel work.

If it grows into something above an assignment, there's your tiny start up. If not much comes out of it, the experience of being part of a small team working on something together can be worth much more than the time spent on it. Creating worth that is more than the sum of its parts.

And this post highlights that it's not just hackers/coders that can contribute. Illustrators, d
esigners, copywriters, law students, etc. There is very little limit because of little hierarchy.
Online articles lead to rapid scientific consensus, forgotten ideas
Seems to me like you should just pick a company you'd like to work for who you think is in need of your skills, and then prove it to them by doing exactly what you suggest. Why wait for them to come to you?
Ask HN: Networking in the valley
I'm planning to come out to the valley for the month of August to network with other entrepreneurs and try to find investors for my seed stage startup. Unfortunately I don't know anyone in the startup scene there.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get started meeting entrepreneurs and investors.

Has anyone else been in my situation. How did you go about finding people, investors, a place to stay?

How did you get around? rent a car or ...?

Right now my plan is to attend the following events, meet people and go from there

Thoughts?
Wuala, a distributed filesystem, make a group.
UR probably right, but what the heck!
It may be different in Columbus. A popular bartender at the right bar in SF can make $400/night in tips. However, I paid my way through school in the midwest with academic scholarships and a part time unix systems administrator job. The school I went to cost twice as much as Ohio State, and I graduated with no debt, so I sort of agree with "gm."

You are right on here ezmobius. Issue isn't whether your are funded or not. Issue is building something that people want.
Yes, that would be a cool feature.

It would suck though if you accidentally had your sound muted :-P
I didn't mean to suggest that you're automatically out on the street if you drop out of high school - I just wanted to point out a worst case scenario. Dropping out and being successful requires some sort of support team, since you're starting out with a huge social disadvantage.
Aye, but minus the low level features of C and the high level features of Lisp. Like pointer and memory manipulation and macros.

Still, it can be a very nice language, I just wouldn't say it is "C + Lisp". Also I'm not sure what the article had to do with either Lisp or C, it seemed more like a discussion of haskell... Am I missing something?

Edit: I'm still confused. Anyone want to take a better shot at explaining what a monad is? Or, more precisely, what's so special about it that it deserves a special name?
In my experience, setting up a SPF record will basically solve the problem for Hotmail and Gmail. However, I have heard Gmail uses a reputation-based system, so basically you are innocent until proven guilty... so make sure your users actually want to receive additional emails. From what I read, it only takes a few people marking your Email as spam to get blacklisted. I haven't had this problem yet though.

I recommend you to check out the link I listed in my original post -- there are some great tips in there for getting through spam filters.

Call Yahoo and scream your heads off (politely).

I'm serious. Hotmail was willing to work with us to help us get things working. If you've already jumped through all the silly technical hoops, have a legitimate case for sending the emails, and comply with their terms, try to get through to someone at Yahoo. They have no vested interest in keeping legitimate emails from their users' inboxes.
