Great read! And thanks to the author for all the candor. The business case always seemed clear to me and now reading this, I wonder if there is a case to be made for an engineer and a trucking operations veteran to build a business that req

This also reeeally needs code search.

I wonder if it would be helpful for YC to set up a chat room/discord (twitch?) like environment for non-anonymous founders and investors to hang out during an "online" only demo day? It won't "completely" captu

Yea, so how are the unit costs working out? Why is delivery so costly AND they are losing money? How costly is delivery supposed to be for a company to be profitable (assuming NYC level density).

I use Peloton Digital/Freeletics type apps where they tell you how to work out properly and build workout regimes for you but...on the phone. I'd love to have it overlayed over the corner of my eye while I'm working out.

Another choice quote: "I've had 10 cancers in the last few years and it hasn't been very bad. They just appear and grow. If you go to a good oncologist nearby, they'll take it out. It's just unfortunate for people w

"Most women I know do exactly that though if you speak with them in a private setting?" Proves my point even more then.

"As to the men being jerks/toxic etc argument. Are there times when that is true? Absolutely. But, men do not have a monopoly on being jerks, creating toxic work environments or harassing people" This is a red herring. If you

Coming from one of these countries to America, the answer seems obvious. STEM jobs have a HUGE differential in stability and status in those countries, so women put up up with much more patriarchal BS at the workplace to hold on to them.

How would you even know that? Assuming you weren't high up in HR?

This is pretty neat! As this is an offshoot of some autonomous car project, what would the support be for 3D data. If I wanted to see some LIDAR or Pointcloud data in browser? Esp if its a tf-output.

Who’s actually doing this? In a way that is actually documented? Most evidence I’ve seen of this happening has been hearsay. Note: Trying to make the applicant pool more diverse is not the same as hiring someone solely because of diversity.

Amazon is massively invested in North. Pretty sure they are working on expanding the same market instead of competing (and then combining efforts).

"turtles all the way down in Swift," This might be a little outdated but isn't everything (incl Python) a wrapper around C++ calls in TF?

Random free idea: Grab image frames from the drivers' Phone camera and use that to figure out if the road exists where OSM doesn't have one. Supplement your own Kalman Filter and update your maps!

That’s a really great way to learn a new language. Maybe take a Swift 101 course and then drag through a sudoku solver. Very cool!

How 'proactive' is it? My biggest problem with budgeting is thinking about my budget before I spend the money. I'm guessing that'll become more apparent with the mobile app, so just before I spend, I can check it. Howe

Tech isn’t a constant pie. For Atlanta to grow, SF doesn’t need an exodus. In fact, the destruction of SF’s tech scene will be a giant blow to North America’s tech sector for a generation. The forced de-agglomeration of tech cities is not a

Push-to-talk was the killer feature for us. We've been using it extensively. There are no silver bullets in managing (and being) remote teams, but Tandem helps a lot along the way!

This was exactly my thought. I remember people in SF claiming that there are roughly 1million people in San Francisco [1] . And roughly 1million total housing units. Therefore there is no housing crisis. Galaxy brain stuff really. [1] http

Not OP but the team at Leap Motion [1] has some very interesting demos. 3D UI's re-imagined from the ground up. Weirdly, because now everything is 3D, the best you can do is try to mimic actually 3D things perhaps, something that didn&

How is Altair on 3D data? I see no examples of this. Matplotlib is decent here (apart from all the same disadvantages the author lays out), but the default options look kinda fugly.

Wait, CBP actively patrols randomly within those lines and can detain people without a warrant[1] on a "suspicion" which, in a lot of cases, break down to looking a certain way. How is that not a constitution-free zone? This who

They are smart to use specialized sensors here (not sure which spectrum) to triangulate. You can get a consumer version of this in some floor cleaners now! [1] [1] https://www.amazon.com/d/Robotic-Vacuums/Mint-Auto
