Interesting. Are you also able to track cargo that is held by customs (which suffer from shrinkage due to poor security)?

I think the follow up will be more critical, especially the public explanation. That will have the potential to either strengthen GH's credibility or destroy it.

Hmm. I have a PC, while I've generally used it less since I got an mbp, I still use it and feel no inclination to move completely over to apple products. What I'm excited about having an OS designed for touch and mobile in my car

The quote below is sooo relevant to me. It's what sidetracked me at my previous startup, getting caught up with what my competition was doing. I know better now. Listen to your customers. Iterate in THEIR direction. All else will fall

I've been pondering on this lately. Apple certainly has set the bar with smartphones and tablets, making them practically indispensable. What next? I don't have much expertise in OS's, but it seems to me that that IOS would b

What if product managers were trained to be more like sports coaches? Motivation, the right game plan, and working hand in hand with other products managers? Doesn't an organization like NASA work somewhat the same way? Different teams

Yes it is. I'm hearing of reports that measuring equipment actually failed because they maxed out. They say there are actually some things they can't give an accurate measurement of because the equipment burst.

Thank you for this. It's easy to make armchair judgements and comparison when not armed with all the facts. The truth is, the country will always have issues (bureaucracy, corruption, etc) dealing with these natural disasters, but comb

Not quite, japan is north of the Philippines and the storm hit the southern end. Still, I'm sure with a storm that large, it would make for a rough trip.

I too was shocked. I went to work and the official number was below 100, I was floored to say the least to come home and discover the revised figure. It is absolutely insane, although in retrospect, I had hoped the country would be somewhat

While recognizing the completely different context, I'd approach it like organized sports management/coaching. There you have disparate members with similar skillsets but different roles that as a whole contribute to one thing: wi

Some things like management principles, accounting, and others could be better learned in a short course instead of learning the hard way. In a struggling startup, a mistake like that could mean success or failure.

It's funny, I see so many crash courses offered on how to code, hack your way to a startup, etc., yet not a lot directed at actual startup owners/CEO's on exactly this: Now that you have a startup, what now?

For business travel I'm assuming convenience and time would be important factors. Anything that would take more than 2-3 hours of you personally driving or flying would be counterproductive if you can just get on a cheap commercial air

Does YC have a collection if post mortems for their failed startups? I would find that very interesting.
