Are you planning on another project to fill the void left by the YC Fellowship? Especially on the "a little funding" part, and the "remote" part. I understand you have limited resources and that YC's core is focused

I agree that it's harder to solve a problem that you're not experiencing, but, by the same token, underserved communities will tolerate an even lower threshold of quality as long as you're helping them :) For the approach on

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is exactly for this kind of problems. I'm not sure where the original poster is, but here in my country, you can get free therapy by going to the training/university centre. You get therapy by postgradua

Well, that's what I read into the Agile manifesto: http://agilemanifesto.org/ Basically any modern project management style focused on people and needs instead of reams of documentation. I've unfortunately never w

Sports (and events) Netflix/live streaming. That would kill cable for sure. A curated "channel-like" experience for Netflix/YouTube shows. There's a LOT of good content out there, but it's hard to filter. And t

My observations very much confirm his. Especially this point: technology is a slave to personality. It doesn't matter how good the design, when there are unresolved problems in the organization. Amen. And that's exactly what a l

Some sites still manage to defeat that. The Economist, for example, knows I've opened my 5 free articles, no matter if I browse incognito or whatever (I guess my IP gives me away :P ) . I'm not going to use a proxy or TOR to read

If you're not using it, I think you should sell it to him. It will be easier on both of you. You probably don't want to go through the hassle of a legal fight, and if he's correctly advised, neither does he (especially since

Oops, I didn't know there was a fireside chat in Buenos Aires. I'm in Uruguay but I didn't arrange beforehand :( It's actually today ! In case someone's still on time to make sessions in Chile: https://bl

Very much alive and kicking. The local government here in Uruguay periodically makes calls for applications for Stenographers to work in the judiciary, at a locally very enticing wage, so lots of people train in shorthand, and you see ads o

Exactly the same thing happened here in Uruguay, with the exact same product (stents). A company named Nafferton, distributor of Boston Scientific, managed to drive all other companies out of the market via legislation: http://ww

The point I was trying to make is that "automation and technology" can lower prices. The current Mini is nothing like the old Mini, it has billions of features more (exactly the point you were making in the original post I replied

"Car prices historically haven't done that. " ... in the United States. Let's take a cheap car from the 1960s, an Austin Mini Cooper. A 1960s Mini Cooper was about 500 pounds. That's 10.000 pounds in today's mo

I don't know about Europe, but here in Uruguay and South America in general you have absolutely no say about what they do with your pension money. There are even laws mandating the pension funds to invest in local Treasury bonds (which

I can attest to this, I used Survata several years ago and I was very pleased with the service, very high quality results. I'm glad to read you're still around and still maintaining that high quality of service. I look forward to

If you are any good, I think you're better off developing a network or looking for customers than spending too much time over-polishing your skills. Patrick McKenzie's advice is good, see: http://www.kalzumeus.com/

I just remembered that Y Combinator has accepted several job boards in the past. Maybe you can contact the founders of TheMuse, for example? ( https://www.themuse.com/ )

First, I think you have to understand your own motivations - are you interested in pursuing this as a serious side project and/or startup? You found something interesting, a real or perceived market imbalance. If there really is a shor

That's what WebRTC promises to solve, and there are already great tools using it (Appear.in for example). What they don't solve is the discovery/network aspect. My own side project/startup wannabee uses WebRTC to enable

Your definition of poor definitely doesn't conflate with mine (I'm from South America). If they can afford "super-cool trips" (even on a shoestring), they're definitely not poor.

The local office manager was a successful wow guild leader, and he does put it into his resume and bio :) (not sure if it actually helped him land the job).
