lots on news this week n accpeting bitocoin! reddit is looking into this too! the world is shifting to bitcoin!! if it is indeed less inflationary/deflationary than we can just transfer USD into bitcoin on www.coinbase.com (which is pretty much paypal for bitcoin) - S12 YC company

Silence after sending the resume in and especially after in–person interview kills every motivating molecule in me. I wish there was some kind of metrics based on feedback attached to my profile, so that after interviews, I'd bounce to that perfect position, as "one man's trash is another man's treasure".

Best rejection letter I got so far:

"We're sorry to say we couldn't accept you for a position at XXX. Please don't take it personally, it was a hard decision. The applications we receive get better every day, and since there's a limit on the number positions, we have to turn away a lot of genuinely promising people.

Another reason you shouldn't take this personally is that we know we make lots of mistakes.

We're trying to get better at this, but the hard limit on the number of people we hire means it's practically certain that people we rejected will go on to do something amazing. "
