Maybe this is cultural and I have been grossly desensitized to how temporary rent/lease arrangements are in the US (except in rent controlled places), but I don’t quite understand the aversion to going with a private market renter apar

More thinking in terms of kids/parents. In order to know that YC exists, the kid needs to learn from somewhere. It’s the initial discovery problem. I feel that currently we have all the resources for those who want to start a company,

What really worries me is that most non-tech companies (and even some tech companies) don’t understand the difference and frequently allocate resources inversely - paying the equivalent of a Michelin chef to make subs and trying to get top

Montreal looks to be only 3.5% extra, not exactly massive. Their sales and goods/services taxes are high, which works out to close to 20% total tax on a room. Still not that crazy. Source: https://www.tripadvisor.com/Sh

Firstly, what you are describing is nothing short of a disaster for society. It’s not just SF either - many urban centers are plagued by this problem. Unfortunately, if as a society we insist on continuing to concentrate, we have to build d

Yeah, it’s a combo of Latin and “archaic”. “i” was the most prominent one.

That’s not true - most of the time they just don’t know about alternatives. It’s not that they are not thinking about them, it’s that they literally don’t know what’s possible. In terms of growing your own food, poverty of post USSR Russia

Article missed another remarkable thing about the 1932 Baba Yaga book - the text appears to be pre-1917 reform! Communists did quite a hack job with the written part of Russian, purging many Latin letters: https://en.m.wikipedia.

Most work can now be done on an iPad Pro without much compromise (highlighting stuff is still annoying, but oh well). With a little creativity, even decent amount of coding can be done. Note that with the iPad, Apple is doing everything the

That’s definitely possible, but in most cities cross-traffic is a reality for cars and pedestrians alike. Cyclists and now electric scooters often run the stop signs, lights, etc. it’s debatable what’s safer for them, but for everyone aroun

Relying on an uncomfortable behavior change is one option, but as many have noted - really a “reach”. Why don’t we instead take the experience of cities that instead of trying to integrate cars and cyclists, integrated cyclists and pedestri

I have a feeling that driving a manual will eventually be akin to learning to ride a horse - people who love the sport will still do it and pay for it, but the general public will regard it as something far from their lives, whereas it once

A lot of great advice here, mixed with some sales pitches and some questionable advice. App reviews seem to have gone unmentioned - are you getting any negative reviews? If you are, see if they contain anything actionable or even a hint of
