holy smokes- talk about an opportunity to reverse offshore outsourcing. Take LCOL principal engineers in US to work in India.

yup- Onsite repair technicians are no problem when you company is paying $500K a year to support it.

This is a serious problem. My wife goes to Amazon and just buys the top seller of whatever she's looking for(even if its from a no name marketplace seller). I don't think she realizes people can game this system.

So, who's the new 'Google' now?

So now that Levandowski and Travis are out on their own, can they get back together and do whatever they were planning to- no restrictions from Google or Uber.

Is there a simple chart somewhere that shows what are the old and new tariffs for the most commonly imported items. I'm just confused with hearing these large generic tariff news. Something like PCs- was 10% now 25%, Tshirts- was 10% n

About time- I can't imagine how long before more unions start forming. Just hope they come up with a better model for a union 2.0 cos the old model has a pretty bad reputation.

my wife probably signed up sometime- cos when I gave them my phone number they said you have $21 dividend- want to apply it? I was like - wow - I love this place and I don't even shop there a lot. Don't love their prices but I lov

Nice move YC. I know Qi is highly regarded by Chinese students. He seems like a corporate vs startup guy though, so while I trust he has great access to talent and connections in industry and Govt, I'm not sure he's the best perso

I didn't understand their #1 point "Europe is Toxic"? Does the absence of startups make a place 'toxic'?

Ofcourse its the Saudi's. Why? because Tesla can make their oil worthless. Strange times indeed.

not the op- but I think what he's implying is that all the good engineers are in golden handcuffs with the FANG or unicorn startups making $300k. In the old days you could match the base salary and say my stock is better. Today its har

A bar raiser is typically someone in the interview loop for a candidate that is not from the same team and therefore more objective about whether the candidate is truly 'better' than most people on the team (raises the bar). Altho

I'm buying the Model 3- base $35K version- even if I have to handcrank start it.

I'm actually a fan of Musk and applaud his efforts with SpaceX and Boring. It's just that I'm holding on to my 10 yr old Prius waiting for the $35K Model 3 for 2 years and the delivery date just keeps sliding 6-9 months every

While I appreciate the IronMan'esque eagerness to solve every problem the world is facing, I think he should be focusing on getting us the $35K Model 3 promised a while ago.

Advice: You could write a book "How I got into YC without a technical cofounder" and sell a million copies to solo non-technical founders.

Great. Suggestion- 1. Can you add the number of years ago (eg. 100,000, 1M, 20M, 200M) next to the periods in the dropdown for those not familiar with it. 2. Can you simulate the changes automatically so it evolves?

I know a software engineer who was in Silicon Valley and moved to Bentonville. He makes $100K in Bentonville vs. the $120K he'd make in Walmart, Sunnyvale. He pays half the rent he would in Sunnyvale, can buy a big house for $250K once
