When YC started, it was so small that PG and Jessica knew everyone's names and could invest a lot of time and effort into making the startups successful. One complaint as YC gets bigger is that there is more "Fast food advice&quot

I'm from Montreal where there's already income to families not making enough money. This is great but obviously some people abuse the system and use it to drink beer all day so some Montrealers don't like the idea of using th

Reminds me of "localmind" where you could ask questions to people at a specific location. They were acquired by airbnb a few years ago.

I'd personally much rather get recommendation of books based on what people similar to me swiped.. This is how I discover new musics on streaming site (By searching for new playlists containing songs that I like). But I'm sure you

Totally could be the same for Go, but yeah the search space seems much bigger. I feel in chess there are a few good moves on every turn whereas for Go it seems there are so many. But then, it may be because I'm less good at Go and I do

For me it'd be a great way to learn about OS with something I'm already really familiar with, and also something that I can easily hack on. I.e. Similar reasons why I much more prefer stumpwn to ratpoison.

I wouldn't say "dumb down" but it definitely needs to explain why it took some lines of reasoning. With deep learning, you need to rebuild the whole system with different test-cases to change a minor behavior.. but imagine if

I feel AI could take so much more risk if there's no lives in danger so that would give them an edge.

I know I will offend chess players by saying this but.. I feel like chess is more of a IQ contest, while Go is more Art-ish in how you move and slowly cripple and surround your opponent. Realistically speaking, there aren't that many m

I think it's fair to say that in the future, people will look back and wonder how it was possible to live without having a good AI.. similar to how we look past at caveman and wonder how they could live without electricity. AI is reall

I'd be curious to know how many people would need to use such a service for the ad maker to make the same amount of money. Basically, what I'm wondering is if it would be similar to Wikipedia where a very few percentage of people

Awesome tutorial! I feel like flexbox could have been so much simpler.. I mean, there's a reason why there are so many "Learn flexbox tutorial" out there. Like, "justify-content: flex-end" won't win any API awa

What does it even mean "Cancer software"? Seems like PR bullshit to me. I've got a hard time believing that Apple can't crack their own phone. To be clear, do they mean that THIS phone is impossible to crack? I guess the

Couldn't Apple give the data of the terrorist's phone without creating a backdoor? I.e. making it an exceptional case rather than something that could easily be done again and again? To be clear, I'm against the backdoor, but

Totally agree. One thing that I still find really hard to maintain/delete is CSS code. More and more I feel like it should be included with components rather than in a plain .scss or .css files. It feels good to be able to delete a com

Easiest way I found is to use an "append-only" mentality to avoid conflict entirely. So, to take the vote example, using: [ {ts: <upvoted_time>, author: <id_of_author>. action: 'up'}, {ts: <upv

For non-technical, head first html/css is great: http://www.amazon.com/Head-First-HTML-Elisabeth-Robson/dp/05... It's not always the case but for html/css, learning by doing is amazing.

Just turn notifications off from non-important apps. Or, put a "non disturb" mode for a few hours when you want to be focussed.

I still see a big market for a more powerful Parse. I think the whole "infrastructure as a service" is now commodity and wouldn't be a good competitive advantage, but the software orchestrating all the sys admin stuff on top

I think the goal is teaching you unix text commands. So if you use Python it's missing the point. Thoughts?

On big project, it becomes impossible to optimize the DOM interaction yourself, so you start to do very inefficient operations for sanity's sake. React on the other hand abstract that for you. I had a project with Angular where one pag
