Why are you worried? Don't you think it is even possible that some other form of societal organization will upend democratic majoritarianism? Have you actually read any books on the subject like Caplan's The Myth of the Rational

I liked Balaji's speech but I don't see his example with the diagram of a bunch of people shouting "A" in one box then if you don't like that moving to go shout "B" in another box as really being an exit.

You have to take pictures of the cards. I assume it would work similarly to how I can take photos of checks to deposit them where, within some tolerance, you have the check/card inside of a "frame" allowing the check to be re

Yup, I am amazed at how people seem to be blind at the scale of money when we are talking about whatever. I can't be arsed to dig up credible sources ATM but my business is ecigs so I pay attention to the lobbying by big tobacco and ph

"In addition to office hours, there are dinners. Dinners are typically catered now, but in the early days, PG would make some goulash for the handful of YC companies." What sort of stuff did PG cook?

I agree. I like both coffee and tea but even for someone who isn't a fan of brown/green tea I suggest some sort of hibiscus. Maybe I am just obsessed with Tazo's Passion blend right now, but I think people who really aren&#x2

I happened to see this on twitter before here and was wondering why I was already following this account..... It wasn't a retweet. I hadn't really used twitter much today and definitely didn't follow it today.

I'm sure that if you posted your app/site here, people could give you plenty of reasons. Ask yourself what you think the reasons are. What would you do to "kick your own ass"? Technically, I am not buying the "there

It isn't an automatic no. If it was, they would just say that. It is probably an easy no and gets passed by quickly without a really compelling idea/product, some revenue already, past success and you don't really need YC, et

"Leading ecig makers" are fraudsters in my opinion. They are selling whitelabel Chinese junk at huge margins. They make false claims about their sub-1ml liquid in pre-filled cartridges being equivalent to 2 packs of cigs. They are

Ecig advocates take a harm reduction approach, rather than the quit or die approach of anti-nicotine zealots. All evidence suggests that ecigs are vastly safer than burning tobacco. Here is a recent survey of all available research. We coul

"doesn't inhaling nicotine cause many health problems on its own?" Not really. Nicotine seems to be about the same or maybe a few times as dangerous as caffeine, which is to say barely dangerous at all. Most of the danger of

In 2009, the FDA tested some ecigs from China and found traces of DEG. This was used to raise fear, yet the amount of DEG was within the FDA's own tolerances as "safe". You probably use myriad products from China which aren&#

You might want to check out: https://togetherjs.com/ For a community site, it sounds like a decent idea in general. Why don't we see more? I think it is only recently that some easier ways to do it came about.
