I'm 36, took the 'safe' route through college right after high school and then, through a round about cross country jaunt, I went on to a safe place in a large company after that. So take this for what it is worth to you.

If you can get a year to do something you are interested in or passionate about go for it! Formal education will be here for a while even though the alternatives like Kahn and udacity and others are validating a different path.

In the places I have gone, since college, I have always met interesting people with unexpected backgrounds. I highly doubt that you have to go off the beaten path or to the far ends of the earth to find interesting people with a story to tell and worthwhile work to do. But it is exciting to travel 'On The Road' style and i'll bet it sounds cool when you tell stories to your kids or friends over beers years later.

In retrospect, I could have done the cross country trek before college but that may have changed where I went to college and where I worked after college. If I change that I change meeting my wife and miss out on my daughter. The flip side to that is that for someone who is at a stage where they just want to experience life and people and learn more about the differences in the world; now is the best time to do that. Be it on the other side of the world, in the run down part of large city near them or a rural countryside - what will make the decision worthwhile are the people you engage with and what you do for them while you are there.

Things have changed a lot since I decided to go right into college and perhaps it is cheap and easy to find work on the other side of the world these days. I believe that meaningful work to fill a gap year could be found anywhere.
Well put. The one thing I'd add, that isn't immediately stated in this article, is the importance of MISSION as part of the entrepreneurial process. Product is key, of course, as are opportunity and the skills to capture it. But there are going to be crap days in the entrepreneurial process, and as was stated in the article, the product may pivot. The mission, however -- the passion -- will be the key to reaching all the tomorrows en route to success. Great post!
Here is an idea for vandalism. Find the last non-bot, non-ip edit. Verify that this user has been on Wikipedia for a while, has a talk page with no vandalism warnings (again you'd have to check the history for the last edit made by someone other than the user), and/or has made more than 100 contributions. Won't get everything but should be effective.
I don't feel one bit of sympathy towards Carpathia, they most likely had all the warning signs on their door - dmca notices, legal notices and more but they willingly provided service to a company with garbage morals.

I'd prefer going back to '97 with $10MM and buying Apple stocks, then sitting on my ass. My reverie could possibly be interrupted by getting in on Google's IPO. I'd also offer to buy each viral video from the last decade before it went big for $1k, then pop ads on it and let the money roll in.
Images are not that bad. Having witnessed myself a severe case of Malaria at the said border (Myanmar/Thailand), I can tell you that the guy in the picture might have been running just two days after the picture was taken (I've worked with the SMRU / http://www.shoklo-unit.com/).
Sure, I’ll elucidate my thinking here:

- The word “subtle” is appropriate for a minimalist product with minimalistic design.

- The obscure spelling and, yes, small brand stumbling block it creates is fine for an exclusive and invite-only network; the nod to Latin inscriptions has overtones of class and education, which are both exclusive concepts as well.

Isn't the traditional way to get a new college accredited to buy an existing, economically failing school which is already accredited and take over the credential?
Well then, have the CIA and NSA run black ops, and don't tell anyone about it. (Or, exchange intelligence with allies if they run black ops in the US, because the CIA and NSA can't spy on American soil ... assuming this doesn't already happen).

As long as they keep everything top secret, except when they stumble on something big (then tip off the FBI), who's going to complain?

If you search for "Remote Unix" on Google (at least for me), a post on my humble blog is the second result. This isn't exactly the narrowest search term, and I'm certainly no juggernaut of a site, so I take that to mean that small random-ass pages can still rank well for a query.
Thanks. Since I first saw these posters I have been wondering whether they were faux-antiques.

Much parodied, indeed:

I think control quality depends on the game and on the design. WanderPlayer's a first step and is an experience grafted onto existing games, but we're working on games built specifically on what smartphones do best. This wont replace the XBox controller or the keyboard in many cases, but like all new control paradigms, there are games that are perfect for this, and that's what we're here for.
I recall its to prevent XSS attacks.

I'd be most interested if someone can explain clearly what part it plays, though.

That's a non converging Monte-Carlo optimization with a constant cost function
This is why I don't think nuclear power is the future. Renewable power can afford to be innovative. Nuclear power will never innovate as fast. Even if it's better than wind right now, you can't have people hack on it, or manufacture in the cheapest country (I hope), or have small countries regulate its use in a cost efficient way.

Of course, it's great for the countries who already have it up and running, and those countries should also look at the latest generations, and the next generation which are being designed (which should be better and safer in every way that the old ones which meltdown when a tsunami hits them).

I love asking pro-nuclear Australians which level of government (federal or state) should regulate nuclear power, and who should be the minister in charge.
Completely agree - I've never had need to hire a PR firm, but having worked along side them quite a bit, there are some who can seemingly move mountains, while others clearly thought PR is about emailing journalists saying "this might interest you", without building relationships, and for all they try they won't get anywhere. Of course there's also the third type, people who don't care and see PR as an easy ride.
770 HN comments. Does anybody read all of them?
I just saw HN topic that has 770 comments. Is there any person here that has enough time to go through all that stuff.

Do you believe if I post 567 "smart" comment then PG will invite my team to S12? Maybe it's better to spend this time to find out what my customers really need/want?

You're right about starcraft - it's a well designed game constructed explicitly around the keyboard/mouse paradigm. Fortunately it's not the only type of game - if you look at the list of best selling video games, they all have a variety of control mechanics that work best (Starcraft with keyboard and mouse, racers with steering wheels, angry birds with swipe etc) and almost none would work as well with another control mechanic. The idea of a smartphone controller is pretty young still - its natural that there arent best selling titles that use this control mechanic; it hasnt been around long enough and not too many folks are focused on it.

(disclosure - I'm a founder of wanderplayer).
thx for the comments/feedback.
I think you're missing the point. It's about "The loss of ACTs as an effective therapy". ACT has been the goto treatment for long now and what is at risk is an effective goto treatment which would leave each clinic with no easy and effective solution to cure people. Procedures are standardized and applied as per the WHO recommendations (which largely originate from the work in the Mae Sot area).

Mae Sot (really, it's the Thai-Burmese border as there is virtually no Malaria cases in Mae Sot as the mosquitos hate cities) is an area that has been leading the research and study of Malaria treatments for years now and is generally regarded and the trend-maker of Malaria as a whole.
My first thoughts too. If you go to the dev site (http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Android+Support), however, you'll see that Android support is actually one of their core issues (well, it's under the 'core' list) right now.

Not excusing the editor/writer of the article for anything; that was a low trick to get readers.

Its good advice. Does anyone from a previous YC round have any to share?
Megaupload has multiple copies of almost every single movie and TV show in the world in multiple formats and quality levels.

I have watched some very rare international films on Mega and it never failed me on a search.

If you multiply out all the movies, all the multiple copies, all the TV show espisodes, all the different quality levels, you would get a few petabytes.

Gameboy pockets seem to run around $20. They seem almost perfect for this sort of thing. They can run on two tripple-A batteries continuously for 10 hours. And since they boot instantly and actually turn off when you tell them to, under normal usage that will last you weeks. The screen resolution could be better but for reading short articles it's good enough.

And when you take the wikipedia cartridge out, you have a gameboy.

I wonder how much it would cost to make a Wikipedia gameboy cartridge?
What every startup should do before writing any code
It can be real. Just add a motor with a fan in the back.

Your arms and legs can still do all the steering and altitude control (which is where the fun lies).

It's the flapping that is impossible. It's so incredibly clear than the kind of flapping shown in the video can not provide lift (no matter how strong your motor, and no matter how large the wings) that I don't understand how anyone was fooled for even a second.

If you want to flap then on each upstroke you have to either fold the wing or rotate it. Otherwise you get nothing except an up-and-down bobbing.

If you ever get a chance to hold a bird extend its wings and look at the construction and the way it moves. Notice especially the "elbow" in the middle of the wing.
Interesting! Thank you for sharing!

Frustro, sounds like a lot of the fonts on blogs and websites designed by people who only test on Macbooks these days. I wish people focused less on how pretty their custom font was and more on its readability.

they need to get a lawyer and work out the real cost. add in lost business opportunity, staff costs, brand damange etc. and you start hitting numbers where the government would have to do something and you may actually start getting compensated.

it is bullshit that they have to foot such a large cost for a government investigation.
Weird, it was working when I posted. Fixed now.
Somewhat the same here. My state school required these:

HN AMAs unfortunately seem to be a non-starter. I can definitely sympathize with blocking reddit for productivity reasons, but it's a connection with your target market that shouldn't be ignored.

I like your idea, and I love your goal, but it's going to take more than that to make me a customer who forks over hundreds of dollars. You've got the attention of the technorati; I'd first focus on how you can convert them to paying customers, then deal with the plebs later.

I still am completely confused at how professional editors at both Wired Science AND Gizmodo that must see loads of fake videos every day were unable to tell the video was a fake. Especially the takeoff had the obviously-CG look about it -- didn't it?

It is so strange that it makes me genuinely wonder whether they didn't actually realize it was fake and just wanted to generate controversy and page views.

On the other hand, even Jamie Hyneman from Mythbusters said there was "nothing about the video that seemed fake" to him. Wha...? Seriously?
The keypresses could be stored until the form is sent, the javascript doing this could be heavily obfuscated, the message could be encrypted.
I dunno. Unless you seriously know what you want to do, I feel like it'll be a waste of time. If you don't already have a very good idea about what you want to do, college is the place where you should discover that. Looking back, I had no clue what was important to me when I was first starting college (I mean, at the time I thought I knew).

I'd say the best time to take a year off would be between your 3rd and 4th years, when you've tried a lot of different classes and actually done some coursework in your major. You should definitely study abroad, and if your school is as cool as it sounds, they'll provide help and direction on a great place to go (I had a paid-for year in Japan. That was the most educational of all my years of college).
Adam Savage: How Simple Ideas Lead to Scientific Discoveries
Perhaps your use of the word "college" is currently misleading. As the OP says, you're really offering trade school classes. When you offer a comprehensive curriculum that includes a theoretical underpinning, that's when you're a "college".

Jamie said he would give it the benefit of the doubt.

But yeah, it did seem cg'ed to me when I first saw it. Only reason I even gave it a second look was because it was on Giz. Well, apparently, they don't even try to verfiy what they are publishing.
I was just as baffled as you.

The only thing I can think of is that people want it to be true so badly that they don't really want to look for errors.
Except that is specifically against the kickstarter terms of service. There is no legal obligation to the seller to give you anything, whether or not it was promised as a reward. The Kickstarter FAQ tries to paste over this by talking about reputation but legally, it's simply not there. Legally speaking, a kickstarter contribution is a donation with no consideration included.
My one night hack: Two-way gateway between Flowdock and IRC
How far down the rabbit hole do we go, and how much of my irredeemable nerdiness am I willing to admit to?

If we're talking Z-Day, then the most economical solution seems to be either to buy and convert an old mine, or to grab an old nuclear silo[1]. Either way, one could reasonably assume that a full, automated backup of Wikipedia and other helpful sites would be stored on local servers.

If you're not a member of the "I can buy Minuteman silos, whatever bro" club, then your currency is best spent on ammunition and the pre-determination of likely gathering points.

If, in the unlikely event that you're just a nerd putzing around on the Internet when you should be doing Real Work, you have access to none of these, then I suggest you move quickly towards a zombie-proof survival plan.

Blame it on the brain | Mentoring – Horizons Unlimited
Through February we watched from the sidelines, as the Labor Party seemed to spontaneously implode. The thin veneer of unity that had been so tenuously holding the Labor ‘team’ together since Kevin Rudd was deposed by Julia Gillard in 2010 shattered, with federal Labor parliamentarians savagely and publicly attacking each other.

Now that the dust has settled, on this round at least, there is no doubt that the media, the Labor Party and the punters will be asking who is to blame. Neuroscience would suggest that the human brain itself has played a part in the unraveling of the Labor team.
