May sound silly, but I thought I should confirm it. The wording on the apply page kind of got me worried.<p>If we update our application and re-submit it, will it count as a late application? We had submitted it once before the deadline.
Yes, seems like it will count as a late app. We submitted ours earlier today, and the messaging on <a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/apply" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/apply</a> now reads:<p>"The application deadline for this cycle has passed. You can still submit a late application, though the chances of getting funded are lower.<p><link>apply late</link>"
hmm.... I guess the "fair" thing would be for it to count as late, although I wish that wasn't the case.<p>I struggled to figure out what the "hack a system to your advantage" question really meant (given that I read that pg essay a while back on what "hacking" "really" means, although the question seemed to be referring to the other meaning contextually) and now I found out that I was wrong......<p>Could've had a pretty good answer for it, too. ho-hum.
