I don't understand the point on hedging. Both turning an aircraft around faster and a successful hedge on jet fuel result in higher profit. But not sure how the two are related? Regarding hedging, Southwest gets too much publicity for being

I like the quote about Warren Buffet. I sometimes wonder about how useful my current skill set would be in a world war. But I think zombie apocalypse (or, more realistically, the possibility of a startup) are reasons the to stay curious and

I can't speak to the morality of Mahalo and Jason's hand in it but I think since there are attacks on his person that I should bring to light some of the positives he's done for the startup community. Techcrunch50 This Week In Startups (inc

Waiting for the price. I see it as more of a toy than a tool, so a want than a need. Consumers are likely more price sensitive on toys. I can see an amazing play for the casual gaming market and taking a cut on the distribution with the app

Oh, I was responding in general. Most articles, the one (linked included) talk about physical limitations about human pilots. I always thought it was something more gory until I found out about blackouts a few years ago.

> eliminating the pilot enables maneuvers that would turn a pilot to jelly I think this is a common misperception. I believe the operational risk is that manuevers above 6g (varying on pilot and G-suit) reduces blood flow to the brain

I think YC is sufficiently competitive that teams without a demo (on the application) will not even get an interview. Also (I believe it has been said), the two weeks from when you're notified to the weekend of the interview should be suffi

Different guns for different folks. The reliability of an AK is desired in armies that don't or can't invest in as much training as the United States. "Guerilla" soldiers may actually have to hide their weapon in mud for a few days, I doubt

It's a thread like this that make me appreciate the ability to collapse threads. Tianaco, I don't want to argue the merits of your concerns but this is not the correct place to discuss it. Try sending PG an email? My immediate reactions wer

I think incubators have fallen out of favor. What most universities do have are business plan competitions. These usually offer significant prizes and great feedback. Also, any reason for the secrecy as to what university it is?

Really hard to understand. You need some kind of natural progression in the demo so people can understand it more. Maybe start with only a few shapes. This could go for the game as well. This game is not as easy to understand as like bejewe

I'm not sure if I can agree 100% with this statement. While Apple is long touted as a company built on innovation, they can probably extract profits without any new innovations for a while. (A while being 2-3 years, doesn't mean to stop try
