Coinbase, Uber, AirBnb, Pinterest, Lyft are a few. Look at where the tech media is focused on right now. Sharing economy, Social Media, Ride Sharing, AR/VR, Cryptocurrencies, and companies working with machine learning. That's

I've been rejected from YC at every stage, but I still think there is a lot of value in building relationships with the community. There are tons of people from all sides of the spectrum that you can learn from and apply again. Also

An exit is not an exit for everyone. In a lot of cases, employees are investors too and sometimes acquihires are only wins for people that own preferred stock (vC's, founders), not common stock.

Being acquired or acqui-hired(soft landing) means the company (and probably the culture) is gone. I worked at BBN Technologies back in the mid 2000's. This is the company that co-founded the internet, they have the second domain name

1280 Companies[1] — 1 IPO Kingmakers... hardly. I remember going to a Commonwealth Club talk in January of 2013 titled: "Y Combinator:The Secret in this Incubator's Sauce". They talked about how YC exits are on par with or

GetAround is big in SF. I did an interview there about 5 years ago and I also used their services supplementing ZipCar. The cars for GetAround were a lot nicer, but the experience of getting the keys was sometimes tricky if there wasn&#x2

To be honest, there were about 10 bikes within 400 feet of where I was. There just wasn't one exactly at the restaurant. I would have had to walk probably 2-5 mins to get another bike. That 2-5 mins is probably still better than whe

Another data point of one, but when I was in Arizona in March, I tried Ofo bikes. The fact that I could ride to exactly where I wanted to go without having to find a dock was the only reason I thought it was viable. I rode to an açaí rest

I get emails to my gmail account for some elderly person who lives in NYC about him not seeing his doctor all of the time. He has my same email address with a dot between his first and last name. I used to reply to the emails saying they

Will this be the Trojan Horse that gets me to switch to GitLab? I've been reading a lot of great things about GitLab's CI/CD. They also have cheaper plans for developers and if everything is all integrated into one place, t

Actually I just double checked and I was incorrect. I just remembered that I have another app on my phone called AdBlock[1] which is responsible for blocking requests at the network layer. They run their own DNS server and create a custom

Is this like One Login?

Also another viable solution although slightly more complicated than adding a line to a file. A question I have is whether you're talking about running your own DNS on your machine or on a server you control? One benefit to the hosts

See my comment on TAForObvReasons - If you invest in a Safari Content Clocker that allows custom rules, you can effectively do the same thing as a hosts file. Safari Content Blockers prevent network traffic similar to host files works. T

On an iPhone without jailbreak you can use 1blocker[1]. Since every browser on the iPhone is basically a UIWebView/SFSafariViewController controlled by iOS, Safari Content Blockers[2] apply globally preventing web visits. Safari Cont

Any browser plugin is inferior to using a hosts file. Hosts file's blackhole any network request before even attempting to make a connection. These browser plugins only help if you're using the specific browser — they aren&#x2

Steven Black's list is better. More complete and also has hosts for other social outlets, ad networks and trackers to block. https://github.com/StevenBlack/hosts/

I don't use that list, I use Steven Black's [1] list has 1004 entries which is more complete than this list. It would be less, but more than 16. Even at that, you're right it would definitely reduce the size. - [1] https:&

When my salary was around there, it was 9k/month after tax and rent was 2600 (shared 2 bedroom apt which I paid more for bigger room). You’re looking at around 6k.
