   If you don't know what you'd do with seed capital, then I'm not convinced you know where your company is going. You don't want a top-notch dev team? You don't have dreams to reach more enterprise customers? You don&

   Since this discussion turned into a conversation over semantics and investing, I'm curious to see if there are any trends in HN readership. I expect some people won't feel comfortable commenting about this so I created a poll: Wha

    I interpreted that differently: If you're going to develop technologies for humans living in cities, testing said technologies absent of human interaction would likely be misleading. It's like YC advocating not talking to your u

    What if garment workers were able to buy their own robotic sewing machines? Then we could have distributed labor and manufacturing and nobody would be out of a job. Services like Uber will likely work this way when automation hits; invest i
