This is right. Most great companies were just great ideas with early adequate execution. Airbnb was a great idea, did their data science and product focus help? Sure, but the idea was far greater value than those things. At the end of the d

Anecdotally I've heard hyperbaric chambers can help: https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/hyperbaric-oxyge... I have no idea and wouldn't claim this is true for you in your situation though. My partner

The fine should be $100 per user and go directly to the user. Some companies would just pay it but most would take this more seriously.

Is it public? Id love to learn more about it.

Yeah, it seems like what's holding it back is a wireless charging standard similar to USB, once we have that and it's ubiquitous - I think we'll just expect wireless and be annoyed by cords. It needs to reach an adoption tipp

It seems like apple is moving towards no port. Wireless charging + airpods are already here. It feels like USBC is a step backward. Having a fully sealed iphone makes it much simpler and impervious to water.

I can think of other reasons like a couple struggling with female infertility. Those who have had kids can tell you that having children is the opposite of a selfish act.

You’re right that we haven’t made much progress but this drug is the only advancement in brain cancer in decades and has very few side effects for most people. Compared to traditional chemotherapy, it is a game changer for many patients’ qu

Why not? We do it safely in busy urban areas already. As for changing lanes, even the most basic autopilots could solve the lane changing problem. Also, making connection can help steer the car and coordinate with other cars in the charging

The other advantage is coordination and self driving. You could pretty much get in the charging lane, go to sleep and wake up in chicago. The whiskers can provide steering and other vehicle coordination if you think of them as power + data.

by pcarolan 5y ago
We have trains in chicago that reach whiskers up to charging lines above them. Same as the trolley systems in San Francisco. What if every major city to city freeway stretch had these in a lane for electric vehicles?

This feels like a pretty large business opportunity. Completely agree.

YC, like all companies, is a brand. It is already expressed by alumni when applying for a job. It is sought by employers as a mark of validation that the person works hard and fast and knows how to innovate. As YC scales and graduates more

I think a more effective route forward here is for places like YC to set standards for their portfolio companies. Only the strongest investors can do this, but once they do, it will setup a new playing field and the YC brand could mean &#x2

I sold out of my position because of the energy consumption but more importantly that bitcoin feels now like it's 100% dependent on greater fools. Like a pyramid scheme, those who buy now must convince others to buy later to increase t

Also, setup automatic funding every month and never sell anything. Buying is easy, selling is easy, holding is hard but you'll be glad you did during every dip.

I think people that believe in and run lifestyle businesses like the fact that it’s a bit counter-culture. Not sure we need to do anything about that and if we do, will it lead to ruining what’s great about it by popularizing it?

All I want is to sleep or read on freeways. Solve that first and you’re competing with airlines and unlocking billions or more in value. Prioritize please.

You’re assuming market forces will kick in. Most student loans are made by the federal government which can decide to secure these loans or not. Today, they are not underwritten and there’s no reason to think they would be if bankruptcy is

How much of this is due to the fact that we're exporting pollution in the form of plant outsourcing to countries willing to absorb those externalities (China)?

For 80% of use cases all you're doing is Person.find(id), Items.top(10), user.email, etc. ORMs are great for productivity, then eventually you run into a complex query where you want to join a bunch of tables, sort, filter, etc. In the
