This is great and all, but I'm not talking about academia vs. industry/YC. I'm talking about the actual products. They just aren't very good.

- paul 12y agoAnd which of these products do you have actual experience with? My guess is "none of them".
- koji 12y agoThis may just be a result of their maturity. The YC companies may seem "not very good" because they're closer to market and practical application. When it comes to research, particularly in academia, it's much farther from market. This makes it much easier to expound on the broad possibilities. News headlines have a bad habit of doing this (think fusion and carbon nano-tubes).
