What Hacker News says?
*Startup tips from Teller (I like Penn, but he has nothing to do with this). And actually just read the linked blog post(1) and do some critical thinking for yourself about how it applies to startups. I agree that it's a great blog post with great advice, because Teller is not also just a wonderful magician he's also a heck of a thinker and an all-around genuine guy.
