If you're not familiar, Scott is a professor of MIT, specializing in quantum computing. Many readers of his blog are also well known in this sphere, so they would have more technical insight, more in depth than the pbs layman's version.

At 15:00, he mentions research on the efficiency of gestures done in the 60's. Does anyone know what he's referring to?

I don't think school is too important. My friend and I are from the same school, I got to the next round, he didn't. (He's going to go work for Google anyway, so it doesn't matter). That being said, it probably does play _some_ factor.

I just got this email:

We sent your application to one or more YC companies we thought would be a good fit for you, and who are looking for someone with your skill set.

Thanks again for applying!

I played around with sqlalchemy a bit this week, it seems you still have to dive down to the bare relational manual mapping (by creating a table by hand) to do something simple, like many-to-many mappings. Is there a better way to do it?
