I get 80% of my news from NPR. The rest, from this site.

I also like to make things.

I just love that this exists. Learning about it for the first time here, it was such a joy reading the website, watching the videos and understanding the school’s philosophy. Even how they define what a successful applicant looks like, and commitment to diversity brought a smile to my face. Maybe one day…

Yes and I standby genxy’s comment. It was always a question of motivation, not ability.

I’m a product manager and I use the concepts to read and understand new algos, research papers, etc. you’re right that you won’t be calculating (that builds problem solving) but grasping the principles will help you proceed to more advanced concepts in other fields

Good luck you’ll get there.

Really like this idea! Is it only shared by link? Couldn’t find it in the store.

I really like the way the this letter is crafted. It's sensitive to the founders, and is upfront about the reality: there are more promising groups than available spots. I'm struck not only by YC's admission that they will invariably miss good groups, but that they'd like to keep in touch to learn from their mistakes.

You certainly don't see that humility everyday from institutions of any size. Other organizations should take note. A personal tone goes a long way.
