		pg on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: What's it like to make yourself rich on technology... I keep meaning to write this one, but it is extremely dangerous territory. One of the many strange things you discover when you get rich is how dangerous it is to talk about it. Most people don't mind, but occasionally one will go nuts on you in a way that is enough to make you not want to talk about the subject at all.

		7 points by usablecontent on March 19, 2007 \| 10 comments
		pg on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: YCombinator - A Force to Reckon With, A Model to R... We have no idea how much money something like YC might make long term. VC is a well understood business, but this is completely new. We're in the black at the moment, but not buying jets. We lost money on Kiko, incidentally. Their later stage investors got paid back, and the founders made a little, but YC got 38 cents on the dollar.

		danw on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: Kiko guys back as reality tv stars I initially thought this was a silly idea but I'm now strangly addicted to it.. Why live my own life when I can watch someone else!
		pg on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: Kiko guys back as reality tv stars Their logo, incidentally, was done by Alexis Ohanian, who invented the Reddit alien.
		pg on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: How to Win Friends and Influence People (pdf) Unfortunately this is one of the later editions, "revised" by Carnegie's wife after his death. I would only recommend reading earlier editions: http://abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?an=dale+carnegie&tn=friends+influence&yrh=1960

		brett on March 19, 2007 \| parent \| context \| on: Kiko guys back as reality tv stars Yeah. Surprisingly compelling. Especially in the context of YC News given that right now it's a bunch of guys monitoring a recently released site that's getting a bunch of traffic.
