What does this phrase mean in English?
- stdbrouw 11y agoJust replace "flux" with "flow" and you get the picture. If you're at YC you (presumably) encounter lots of different problems in lots of different contexts, which is often a good environment to foster creativity and inventiveness.

- tlb 11y agoProblem flux means the rate of new problems that need solving. Theoretical breakthroughs are often inspired by real problems. For instance, information theory arose from practical problems of wartime communications. YCR will be in close proximity (geographic, organization, and intellectual) to lots of startups with interesting and worthwhile problems to solve.
- ihsw 11y agoA significant amount of proposals are too pie-in-the-sky to take seriously but still warrant attention. Honestly I'd like to see Kickstarter take a stab at this too, providing the general populace with an outlet to support research projects.
