Out of curiosity, how would the asymmetry be resolved? If founders have less fundraising experience, is there such a thing as founder school where they can rehearse pitches or do mock fundraising to be ready when the stakes are higher?

That's the price we pay for making everything an interchangeable commodity. If you go to the grocery store, there might be some organic chicken and non organic chicken, but not that much of a choice otherwise. There's no real way

I've heard before that the climate in Sweden is relatively mild considering its latitude, mostly due to the marine currents. A quick comparison of climate seems to suggest that this is the case: https://www.weather2travel.co

Rich people love sales taxes, since their spending is a very small percentage of their net worth. For example, Bezos's $500M yacht might look expensive in absolute terms, but his net worth went up $74B last year. I'm sure that giv

In theory yes, but in practice any sensor that's not regularly calibrated against a well known reference (eg. a chamber with 0 ppm CO2) will always be off somewhat. This automatic calibration just ensures that the sensor is in the righ

It seems alright if you do use the humidity compensation. It might be off by 100 ppm or so, and wildly off if there are a lot of VOCs in the air, but if you're just using it as a "should I open the windows" kind of thing it&#

Sure, but many kids won't have the patience to play with PIO. The Arduino experience to make a LED blink is literally connect the device, copy paste the blinker code into the big text box, select the device and port in the tools menu,

It assumes that the sensor is exposed to fresh air every once in a while, and that fresh air is at 400 ppm CO2. It'll basically slowly lower its baseline calibration over several days, and if the value ever drops below 400 ppm it'

Haha, did something similar too, except it logs to a server written in Elixir and has a Phoenix live view dashboard, which I check on an eink display and on my phone. Data is also logged to CSV at 1Hz and can be analyzed in R. Code is also
