Rtm's going to attend the next YC dinner using a QA http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/technology_news/4298623.html http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/te

  That's interesting news. I had been wondering, myself, about the possibility of virtual YC-dinner attendance.

  While that's novel, I predict it will be a bit of a letdown for him personally. A robot with a video screen of your face and relatively-limited field of view is going to make for very poor interaction on both sides. Until/unless that technology gets a lot better, I suspect it will be like the "cell phone lag", only 100x worse.

    We already know what it will be like for him because Trevor and I both tried being QA for a while at the last YC dinner to test it out. It's much better than being on a speakerphone-- you can actually roll up to a group of people and join their conversation-- but not, obviously, as good as being there in person. It feels roughly like being in a cardboard box with a small, smudged little window to look out of. Which tells me the most important thing for Trevor to improve: the cameras.
