Your startup exited for 167 million dollars?

Is that relevant to this discussion somehow?

Cost !== Lost Potential

What does it mean when a ! is followed by a double equals? Is !== different from != in netspeak?

Strict equals - it doesn't cast types.

Programming distinction, and no idea why the author used that. Mostly the same meaning though, for conversational purposes.

Symbian is a dead broken horse with an outdated kernel. They should instead buy RIM or license Android.

Not exactly. HP developed the first Memristor.

I speculated what he meant, I didn't make the claim myself.

HP avoided the battery problems that effected a lot of other laptop makers.

Can anyone recommend a vc or angel that invests in gambling startups?

I appreciate this recommendation.

Feedback wouldn't necessarily be very useful. The feedback might be a meaningless number such as '42' in the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy Deep Thought (which doesn't really explain the result of the question).

At which case, I could ignore the feedback.

I don't see any room for argument here: the lack of feedback is a loss of information.

Ycombinator has been known to make mistakes from time to time. Especially youos.

There's probably too many rejections to give any feedback. I mean if there were 10,000 to 20,000 groups that applied it would be impossible to send a reason in the email to each group. Besides it all comes down to a numerical rating (sauce for the goose). Kudos to the bird with a golden egg.

I think two years ago, the last they posted their numbers, there were 421 applications. This year, I'm just guessing, but likely somewhere between 2 to 4 times that.

They are no longer posting their numbers, so don't ask.
