thanks sibling responders, I learned something new. I grew up in rural southeast US and I've always associated cable with cities/suburbs and had broadcast/satellite (old giant ones most until middle school).

It’s amazing how little you can get done with a big team, and yet it’s trendy in development to push for specialized roles that lead to huge communication inefficiencies.

See Mac’d from the last yc batch as well. There’s some cool stuff happening in food. Ghost kitchens have existed for a while, and I’ve had a restaurateur friend mention them to me quite a few years ago, but it seems like they’re hitting sca

Fast than Light (FTL) would fall into that category for me. It has a lot of rouge-like elements, the store is the same but all the details change with each new game so tons of replayability. iPad only, though with the screensize of the new

not parent, but I've started doing the same as you for around 5 months now. I've noticed is that I can generally get up easier in the morning and thinking in abstracts and analogies may come a little quicker. I've also notice

Maybe a little harsh, but I agree. I enjoyed the session, but didn’t feel like it related much to the topic. Maybe that’s part of the point though, it’s do whatever it takes to keep it alive while finding PMF, reading every API log, doing o

just like there is a difference between a feature and a product there is a difference between a product and a business. Much of this world is R&D done on spec because big co's have difficulty innovating internally.

I don’t know about best, but I do love the form factor and wish they had refreshed it. I’ll end up getting an Xs but I’ll miss having a phone comfortably in my pocket. I guess the emerging market play didn’t work out? Or perhaps the Chinese

calling early investors "friends and family" does so much to keep out and alienate potential founders who don't come from wealth.

So Blanks thesis seems to be go lean when money is hard to come by, otherwise take the cash and go big because there is more out there if you fail. I’m not sure this is much different than what has been talked about for a while, but it puts

Weren't quite a few major cities in Europe founded around monestaries? Seems very reasonable to me that temple sites could be precursors to villages the same way bountiful rivers and coastlines could be. To vastly oversimplify: Religio

| 1) Don't go to a "destination" city. Don't go to a city that derives too much of its income from tourism. This is good advice. Generally the "second cities" of a country gives a better experience. More open b

Highlights the larger problem that reviews have become untrustworthy and overwhelming for all but the most gullible and most discerning. The middle is stuck in roughly the same place they’d be without any reviews at all.

You may want to look into consulting, specifically around rapid prototyping for non-technical founders if you’re looking to work with early stage startups but want short term engagements. There is a market for it.

I'm not sure that ragging operation in and of itself is a bad thing. If the clothes aren't useful, that seems to be the next phase of life for textile. I've done some work with smaller charitable orgs sorting through donation

Good on yc. Now I’m disappointed that I’m just auditing the course this term as I bet the forums will be a very interesting place with this many teams. Best of luck to all.
