This kind of thing is negotiable. Don't be too harsh --- they are just trying to protect themselves, and went about it in a rather evil way. But good people can accidentally make mistakes that turn out to be evil. If you explain to them y

Most investors want to play it safe. YC wants founders to succeed. Sure, there's money in it for them, but that's not why they're doing it.

I was asking for specific examples that have already happened. The point is to hear a fun story, not to learn any valuable or deep insights.

Does anyone know of any balls-out investments that paid off (or didn't)? (I'm referring to "if this investment doesn't pay off, I'm jumping out a window" risk.) I'm just looking for interesting stories, and that sounds promising.

It sounds like she may not be connecting with the right people. Specifically, she might want to talk (in person, repeatedly) with managers / other decision makers. Once she's convinced one of them, then they can push internally to get her

I misunderstood him. I thought he was saying "most C programmers write optimizing compilers", not "use optimizing compilers". Nevertheless, no one I've met tries to debug in Release mode, only Debug mode.

This sort of "scientific dishonesty" is prevalent everywhere. I'd be surprised if the test creator didn't go out of their way to design the test specifically to push their agenda. It's sad, really. The people who try to call bullshit on t

How can this be? If the child were moving at 0.9999c (which is less than 1.0000c) and the planet is 20 light-years away, then how could it take less than 20 years for the child to reach it? Let alone ~0.5 years? EDIT: Here's an explanat

Fascinating. 40 years at 0.90000c = 91.76 years 40 years at 0.99000c = 283.55 years 40 years at 0.99900c = 894.65 years 40 years at 0.99990c = 2828.00 years 40 years at 0.99999c = 8944.00 years

Question: In the year 2200, if a 10 year old child were to travel to the planet at a speed of 0.9999c, then were to immediately turn around and travel back to Earth, they would be approximately 50 years old. However, what year would they a
