Makes me wonder why there's no war on medical errors. Humans are weird. We've evolved to fear most our prehistorical number one threat: other humans. This leads us to waste so much money and to continue sacrificing our own childr

But, I mean like Yale is excluded, and a lot of really top schools. You could make a good case that the top 25 schools are so close in quality that there is hardly any difference, and it still creates scarcity.

Sounds cool! Some (including me!) will argue that your list of schools is biased in a certain way :). I would encourage you to expand your list as 10 schools really is a short list.

Can I ask how long you've been up and running? And where do most of your investors come from? It's very interesting that you're open to non-accredited investors, I didn't think US startups had access to that type of fu

Sounds cool! Honestly, you could probably do less than €40k, for startups to try and show some viability. YC used to do around $20k if I remember correctly, and I think the YC fellows program does around that (could be wrong).

Can a US startup crowdfund from your platform? As I understand it, US companies can't crowdfund from non accredited investors.

I was also visited door-to-door, leading me to research gas rates here : https://w2.lara.state.mi.us/GasChoice/Choice/CurrentOffers?a... There is a sufficient disparity in rates to make a business out of it, in my

It sounds like it levels the playing field, doesn't it?

Would there be any way for merchants to accept your cards only? And, hopefully have fees closer to ACH rates, since that seems to be what you are using?

Yeah, didn't know it wasn't supported in canada. That's it though!

Could you use an ACH solution? I guess consumers may not be familiar with it, but stripe ACH looked customer friendly. I think they charge 0.8%.

I mean like, you have a 3 person startup and one of you is running around doing work that your customers assume must be already automated.

Ha! I tried editing my text to be clearer what I'm referring to.

Ask HN: What is the term for faking automation by using human labor?

I don't see any clickable 'Translations, word origin, and more definitions'. Can you post a screen grab? I think this is what you are talking about though: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=e

I guess the lesson here is not to discuss and give helpful links for companies in the same space as a YC company. Oh well.

In case anyone was thinking of signing up for this, I found a 50% off first week promo link. You could probably find one googling, but it was like the third result I tried. This page might have a referral deal or something in it but the l

According to I believe mike hearn, the whitepaper was not originally published as a pdf by satoshi. Someone else made the pdf.

Its ridiculously easy to live off about $20,000. You don't even have to try very hard. Source: any graduate student.

Unless I'm missing something, the person with the fastest hashing processor will usually win. Thus there is never any reason to use an average processor, and everyone is not on the same playing field.

I always think about the bubble groups. Darn it would suck to right on the bubble. Maybe they could create a separate, remotely managed cohort of bubble groups, that are adopted by HN.

don't participate in rumors. avoiding a workplace with a rumor might be logical but that doesn't make it right.

I don't know where this guy lives, but prime has only been getting better. I've never seen a next day fee greater than 3.99. Same day delivery was added not too long ago and it costs 3.99. what unbalanced bs link bait.

Sorry I don't understand. They pay for bandwidth, servers, etc. You are consuming their capacity without paying.

That's very shortsighted and sounds very elitist. Do you also steal from brick & mortars that don't have business models or store layouts that are agreeable to you?

It is newsworthy. We generated fusion be shining light at molecules, which never has been done before. Aside from that, if you read the article you became slightly more science literate.

Postsecret is doing ok. Just remove doxing and other detrimental elements and it will be fine.
