Are you implying that YC doesn't require your age in the interview process? Have you ever even filled out the application form? Let's start with that.

Huge difference. CA companies and investors (e.g. YC) specifically require your age to the interviewers. Using YC as an example, many interviewers are happy to publicly boast about using age as primary factor - I can link to to some comment

Extremely bad title. This is about one startup, not startups. If they do want to do some properly backtested analysis of the predictive value of various financial indicators versus expected value across many startups though, that would be g

MOST accelerators will outright reject, if not make the barrier to acceptance vastly higher for any company that went through a "pre-accelerator". Being in a pre-accelerator makes it far harder to get into an accelerator. So pre-a

You cannot "admit" a prediction of the future as if the prediction of the future were a fact. It can only be predicted.

Nearly all countries in EU will allow companies to aggressively pursue violators of no-hire and no-solicit clauses. Do you know of anywhere in the EU where the courts automatically reject those types of contract clauses?

And the best way to do that is to eliminate the crutch. Many of the more data-centric fields did away with p-values long ago in favor of far more robust approaches to establishing the value of a paper. Look at papers in the data science fie
