From what I have heard, YC is pretty good at sniffing such teams out during an interview and also while reading the application. It's hard to fake good co-founding relationships.

Single founder here. I think this doesn't work in B2B or may be I am talking to the wrong people, most of the potential customers I've spoken to want to see something - so the first question they ask is what have you built. This i

"All this makes C fast but fragile." IMO all these features of C makes programming and therefore system design anti-fragile. Anecdotal experience based on interactions with a few C programmers who work on embedded systems.

That's way too harsh to describe a man's personal quest for adventure. It's not just vanity. You have no idea how many young minds have been influenced by this adventure. How many potential new startups will come about becaus

A good raincoat is pretty expensive. At least $200. So the guy submits an expense report with a $200 line item, gets rejected and splits the $200 into probably 7 or 8 incidentals which usually have a $25 limit, probably on different expense

The geography matters. I did the Self driving car nanodegree and not having a US work permit pretty much took out all my chances. I did have an interview with Voyage but I didn't clear round 2 or 3 I don't remember.

I don't mind getting downvoted but can someone please explain why - this is an honest question. Many devs have scoffed at interviews when I've asked them some really basic quesitons such as finding max element in an array.

I am just curious, why do you need to test somone's ability to find max of a list. Language designers have recognized this as a basic utility and incorporated them into the language. Is the hypothesis that - if someone cannot write a s

I think this is one of the most overlooked safety features of a self driving car. It is not just safe for the car occupants but it will be safer for pedestrians and 2-wheeler riders - motorcyclists and bicyclists. There was a video of a Tes

I really liked how Musk handled himself. Combative and stern at times, especially when Kara Swisher said she doesn’t own an electric car :). Overall not a great interview. She kept harping on Model 3 production. I hate it when interviewers

Thanks Emil. I will definitely get back to you on my findings.

Wow, we had used the same stack. Neo4j - gave up because of horizontal scaling issues, moved to TitanDB and then our startup folded. Fast forward 3 years and am back in the graph world, this time dealing with money laundering and fraud ring

True and I don’t claim that musk is right always. He is human, makes mistakes, that doesn’t mean he is a criminal, which is what the shorts are implying with these smear campaigns.

It may not be the retail investors causing the swings but the algorithms trained to gauge sentiment from news sources and trade based on that sentiment. Wild guess.

Personal view again. I aM convinced that the shorts are behind these media smear campaigns. Scumbags are guaranteed to lose their bets and they are doing their best to minimise damage. They don’t care abou innovation or climate change. All

Back in college around 1996 or so, the only Unix workstations we had were shared DEC Alpha machines. Nobody in our university knew anything about Unix. It was basically a Win95 shop. The only way to edit a file on DEC Alpha was using vi or

I think you can move to Canada to purse a course in a community college. Not a degree but a 2 year course. Can you get a loan from your home contry ? If so you can move to Canada spend 2 years studying/earning and you will be set. You

It's amazing to watch Pytorch and TF slowly converging and offering more or less the same capabilities. TF started in graph mode and are now adding eager mode. Pytorch started with eager mode (prototyping) and are now moving to graph m
