   I wish they also talked about symptomatic vs just testing positive. Are there cases where someone got discharged after going through the 2-3 week cycle of symptoms, became free of symptoms and then got sick again ? That's the more inte

   After having spent plenty of time in multiple environments, any kind of absolute statements one way or the other are bound to be incorrect. IMO it's highly person and situation specific. For me the best order of productivity is: 1. In

   Hmmm nice questions. So when I was at Google before, I saw a lot of different kinds of datasets. But I also saw commonalities in terms of not just data types, but also data abstractions or the kind of stuff people like to do with that data.

   You can look at the Year tab and see resources by year. It's not the same as sorting but gets you half way there. Nice feedback.

   You're right, sorry if my other comment didn't make sense. I was talking about both the data itself and also the YCAdvice discovery and search interaction layer on top of that data. We did first construct the spreadsheet (where lo

   Yeah there is a lot of breadth in what YC puts out as we found out ourselves. Categorization for specific domains is hard since we don't have labelled data. It's a mix of unsupervised token extraction, clustering to detect signifi

   There are a lot of talks on product and fit in general by YC and they are very informative. What was surprising to me was how many talks/resources they had around this and that can lost. I hope you can find some more around that topic.

   Thanks. Currently, we have been focusing on all the official resources from YC and not so much on Hacker News threads. But if there's demand for better discovery for Hacker news itself, it'd be very interesting to look into.

    Absolutely - thanks Dang. We have some high level info in the FAQ: http://polymersearch.com/beta/faq_ycadvice.html and I'd love to go deeper into the process. We'll get in touch.

    Hi HN, We are YC rejects (I made it to the interview once!) but have benefited greatly from everything YC has put out to help founders like us. Since YCombinator has shared so much helpful content over the years in all sorts of areas, we de

    I mean one company prints money, and the other has some of the biggest losses in tech industry. What do you expect? If anything, Uber has invested in too much tech for the sake of being tech heavy, which may not be best suited for their bus

    I'm afraid you are right but people in India don't seem to care. I go there every year and life there compared to 10 years ago is night and day. Even in cities that are further away from the big 4 (e.g. north of New Delhi, even in

    I like your interface. But as you have heard, you need to differentiate strongly. Even if it's just one thing that's unique, you got a shot. Here are some ideas: 1. Automatic Reminders based on task priority so one never forgets 2

    Thanks - it's been tricky to say "no" and it feels weird to ask them to do a trial before. I think it depends on them as they might feel they are not "good enough" and it requires a certain level of maturity to real

    Correct me if I'm wrong but tkinter is only for Desktop GUI I think. I am talking about the new search engine we are creating at coinquanta.com. That's indeed in Python - it's a bold experiment for us but drastically cuts dow

    How do you find the "right" co-founder? Or it doesn't really matter as long as you trust them and they are good enough? I have had some folks in my network offer to join as "co-founders" but it's been tricky to

    This resonated well with me - thank you for the article! I jumped into the fray late last year full time and it's been the most exciting (and nerve-racking) few months of my life. As the author says, I feel like I am learning new thing

    I like it. But as a new user I have some feedback: For a GUI framework, I hardly see any screenshots, videos, list of widgets and so on. I want to see how deep the GUI framework goes compared to my other choices. I think it fails to answer

    I do wish he made that tweet and then it would be hilarious to see everyone inject truth into that statement and rationalize it from all possible angles. "That's why YC is now more focused on biotech and food businesses. Computers

    It's best to have tiered pricing - add a few things as extra to the higher layer so there is additional value for the extra price. Without that, I am not sure how this is sustainable unless you are in the "disposable services&quot

    I have to say a lot of the story writing around GumRoad itself seems to be an attempt to attract new customers as they have told multiple narratives that are all click-baity (from trying to be a billion dollar startup to a weekend project m

    This is great execution and UX. Congrats for launching! As someone who has done professional algorithmic trading before, I would strongly advise most users to deploy a small amount of capital to these strategies and treat it as a fun game,

    If you conduct business or "work", you might have to get a separate visa with different terms. EU seems to be pretty strict about "work-permits". There are risks to doing such activities on a regular tourist visa.
