What's the use case for this and who are the customers?

Without more information, this seems like the most obvious choice. Whatever other companies are using AGI for other purposes, will likely be purchasing it from this company.

Why isn't there an app for this? I live in a country where emergency services are completely unreliable, so my main experience of 911 / 999 emergency services is from television and films, and I've noticed a fair amount of fr

The word "adventure" doesn't appear even once on the Airbnb Experiences page. I think they are two completely different things.

I'm curious to know what made you decide to teach Python 3 instead of Python 2? (I'm only asking because most courses these days seem to favor teaching Python 2).

I'm not sure what to think. Uber has proved itself to be a generally scummy company, but in this case I think they are being scapegoated by the government of India. Banning uber is not going to stop rapes in Delhi. Neither are the exis

Is ``binge drinker'' a synonym for ``alcoholic''? If not, what's the difference?
9.
by ycaspirant 12y ago
Yes, this is also my primary confusion. What does the term ``binge drinker'' mean? I've never heard of this term so I have no idea what it means or how it should be used. I'm guessing it refers to someone who is addicted

I'm curious to know how ``binge drinking'' is defined for the purposes of this study. According to them, it seems that some people as ``binge drinkers'' and some are not. I've always thought of binge drinking a

Yeah, I was thinking that if you added up all the IIT placements, they would be second only to MIT, but perhaps it's not fair to add them up like that, because each one is a separate institution.

Thanks for the clarification. I had actually never heard of this concept of ``unit margin,'' but it makes sense now. It's funny that I managed to go through an entire internship at a financial services firm (which included wo

Yes, I also found the title to be ambiguous until I read the article.

I use Safari, and I find it to be better than Chrome because it's easier to sync with my iPhone and iPad, and with iCloud keychain even my passwords are synced.

I used to track AAPL when I was interning at a financial services firm last summer, and I can assure you that their profit margin is around 20%. Since AAPL is publicly traded, this information is publicly available so anyone can verify it.

Upon getting accepted to YC, your company is promised $120K for 7%. Does this imply that if your company is accepted to YC, then it is worth $1.7M (because 7% of $1.7M is $120K)? Or is this not the right way to look at it? Why / why no

Can someone please explain the role that carriers play in the United States? In most countries, the carrier simply provides you with a SIM card that allows you to make use of their network, but they have nothing to do with your hardware &#x

Why is this priced on par with Apple TV? That's like pricing a Kindle on par with an iPad. I always thought that unlike Apple, Amazon's strategy was to sell really cheap hardware so that you can consume more content.
23.
by ycaspirant 13y ago
Why? That's like saying that Amazon has a motivation to remove the Kindle app from iPhones and iPads so that you'll be forced to buy their Kindle. Amazon actually doesn't care if you buy their hardware or not, they only care

The terms of funding on Kickstarter are pretty clear and straightforward. You back a project for a certain amount of money in exchange for a promised reward (this reward is never equity). When the time comes you either get your reward or yo

I think what he meant to say is that YC accepts applications from companies at all stages. Once accepted to YC, all companies are given the exact same funding deal.
