You're confusing selection for objectivity. Startups founded by "hot wiz kids" get more media attention to the fact that they are young. Companies founded by older people do not have that hook, so there is less emphasis in their age when the media writes them up.

Quickie question: What's MSPW? The only thing I found on google was that it's "Midwestern state pro wrestling"<p>By inference, I can only think of, "Make Shit, Prove Worth".<p>On the topic of leveling, it's simply a game mechanism (as you mentioned with WoW)...it's part of what makes games fun. Of course, learning a...

I realize everyone's situation is different, but I would strongly discourage leaving school early (or at least as an undergrad). In the big scheme of things I think it is too important of a milestone to throw away. There is more to life than becoming rich as soon as possible... While I benefited most from my CS classes...

You can also be crazy and do both school and a startup at the same time. Not that I would recommend that option. :-)

This guy seems to have a bit of a problem with lust. He picks on Bittorrent, Hotornot and Youtube for using porn and near-porn to attract users. I think the way all three services handle sexual content is entirely appropriate for their intended audience and social interface.

From YC's current FAQ:<p>Q:Our group has two ideas. Can we submit two applications?<p>A: Ok. Just submit them from the YC accounts of different founders.<p>From a version of the same page from last year on archive.org:<p>Q: Our group has two ideas.

Yeah, if I have learned anything from watching various startups and the like is that bureaucracy kills you, better to give a small team of developers with concise goals some money and have someone keep them on track. If they need more people then let them explain why, and how they are going to use them.

haha yeah not so catchy as Wikipedia. I think the restrictions will turn off a lot of people also. Seems like you have to prove that you're a professional in your field. I wonder how they'll regulate that without tediously screening every person on the site.
