That was my first thought too. Prove it quietly and brag about it later.

Excellent idea. Love the ease of use of your "API".

These companies experienced solid growth during covid (because everyone was home using tech) and now that's starting to recede. They predicted this growth would continue and hired for it. They are choosing to recede that. > replace

This is an excellent point. I'm with you - I still trust his advice if not for his judgement for the fact that the sample population of startups he's worked with is so high. But this bias is there. I'd wager if YC started HN

> Probably most of their early funding came from parents. Perhaps VC is an equalizer here. It makes it possible for founders (like me) to start the next Microsoft without having to rely on privilege. I understand allocation of VC resourc

Trade magazines like these are actually good candidates for paywalls. Their small reader base is likely to get their employer to pay for it.

I have a friend who works at Sandia. I remember him saying the pay is lower and there is way more work life balance. There is less of a sink or swim attitude around perf there. I got the sense you can come in, do your thing, and be out by 4

I'm not a recipient of the grant but I just pinged a staff member to reply to your question.

I'm an alum of the community (though not of this specific grant). Unlike members of other communities I've been part of, most at SPC have quit their jobs and are all-in to whatever their goal is (research, side projects, or buildi

What a great epiphany. If you are looking for guests and I am a fit for your criteria, I would love to be one.

Love this. What inspired you to do so? Do you cook or is it like a potluck?

Very much an aside and downvote if too much of a tangent - if I wanted to create a command and conquer like game (ideally like generals where it is 3d) - how would I go about doing that? Is Godot an appropriate engine for that?

If I absolutely had to choose a vice here, I’d choose smoking for 20 years over living in social media.

False. People can desire things that are non material eg beauty. That’s always been there - what new is the constant feed of information to us that we process and conclude as being inferior.

Boys fight physically. Fights would happen at my HS once-ish a month. The staff would break it up, detentions would be served, and life would go on. Now each fight is recorded and saved for life. The short term consequences of that are not

How would you describe your mental health? How would you describe, on aggregate, the mental health of your peers? If you could waive your magic wand to help your generation, what one thing would you ask for?

This is an excellent summary of the current state of affairs from the ground level. Do you see your peers growing out of social media? Or do you think it will be a permanent fixture in their lives?

I respect the heck out of that - it takes guts banning your kid’s friends. Curious - how did you carry this out? You told your child to stop inviting them or you asked the problematic kid’s parents?

I’d wager more. Heightened expectations and the resources to meet them = a lot of studying, extracurricular activities, etc.

I worked on this for a year :) It was called buzz robotics and had a couple posts make it to the front page here. Even got a YC interview. I haven’t gotten around to writing a post mortem but I’ll just say - it’s a very hard problem to solv

It takes a massive amount of effort to stay at the top. Yes there’s inertia and lock-in and walled gardens that contribute to folks staying in the apple ecosystem. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy.

That's possible - video is definitely more enticing than photos and there's data out there to back that up among the general population. Perhaps people will get bored of videos one day - we'll see.

Disagree on Facebook being enduring; agreed on TikTok. The underlying thesis behind FB - that people want to connect with people that they know - is eroding.

I take that back the "lazy" comment - my mistake. In my defense, I haven't read those articles and came up with these ideas on my own. Agreed re broadcast model - that's an important distinction too vs the classic follow

I think this is a lazy conclusion and needs more depth. What’s huge - seismic really - is that people actually prefer to know more about strangers than friends. On average, these strangers tend to be personalities and as a result are more e

I didn't like that you had to shop around for an ORM and database migration lib. It felt really like a patchwork kind of setup. I think Express specifically was fine and great.
