Depending on what stage of growth you’re at, your Startup School mentor should still be able to be helpful.

Most companies in the program are in the 0-1 phase, but there were a few in my group that were 1-N. The program format is flexible, so it’s fairly easy to tailor content to your audience.

YC core has a similar dynamic, and individual companies in a batch fall along a fairly wide range in terms of stage / progress. They only break out a formal growth track once companies have >50 employees.

YMMV depending on your mentor of course.
>Imagine that Apple forced telcos to block Spotify, to force users to iTunes, and if they didn't then no iPhones on that carriers network.

Doesn't Apple already do this with the App Store? You can't buy an iPhone with Spotify pre-installed and Apple Music can leverage its position of not having to give another company a 30% cut to undercut spotify's prices.
I recall reading a study previously (I can't find it at the moment) on creativity. The two groups were given two tasks in an art class. First group was told they would be graded on the sheer volume of output, while the other was told they would be graded on the most creative thing they could produce (I'm leaving out a ton of detail, and I can't remember what kind of art class it was).

The conclusion of the study was that the first group, who was just focused on volume of output, actually produced more creative works than the group specifically focused on "creativity".

Yes, but this was the OP's scenario: what happens when 3% of drives all fail at the same time when the DC is powered back on.

Edit: actually the math is still wrong. The chance any 4 out of 20 drive is failing is: .03^4 × C(20,4) = .03^4 × 4845 = 0.392% — There is no need to multiply by .97^16 as the status of the other 16 drives is irrelevant.

> Nobody would switch from bash/python to Powershell.

I've used bash for 20 years, worked at Red Hat and IBMs Linux Group and my name might be in your OS. I switched from bash/python to Powershell.

How so? It's the only shell I've ever used where you can guess most commands. That's a massive achievement.

Sure, I'd just use -exec and a fat lady. The example still shows the differences between

- using objects

> You can even deal with spaces in filenames if you need to...

A file name is an attribute of the file (inode/fileID). If you have to think about whether a file name has spaces or not you're scraping, rather than treating it as a single string-type attribute. This is why bash has a reputation for being brittle.

I love reading about game dev/watching videos and I've watched a few Star Citizen developer updates. Seems like they were wasting a tremendous amount of time refining small details like adjusting the vents and decals and landing gear on ships that could already be considered complete. It struck me as absolutely awful time management.
It's a long article, but there's actually a section called "Where Does This Leave An OS’ Native Date Picker?" That links to exactly what you've linked here, and describes some considerations for when you might not want to use them:

"The problem with native date pickers is that they are very limited in their design and functionality. For example, it’s impossible to add any details such as availability or pricing to a native date picker to avoid zero-results pages. It’s also impossible to select a date range and highlight the connection between two dates because it doesn’t provide a calendar overview."

I think the title is a bit misleading, it sounds like they're going to design the perfect date-picker widget, but instead it's a giant catalog of design considerations that vary for different reasons for requiring date input. Basically, you probably don't want a one-size fits all picker, you'll want to adapt it to your particular problem domain

If you sort public companies by Market Capitalization, how far down the list do you think you need to go, before you find a company that is only in one market?
How much should I get paid?
Yes, laws are in place to to protect customers from abuse of monopoly power. In this case specifically using that power to hurt competition unfairly. If the company is successful and doesn't abuse that success then no one gets fined. Using that success to unfairly hurt competition from a monopoly position needs to be prevented for a free market to function.

I'd say that, in this day and age, preventing vendors from using Android forks counts as a form of locking customers out of competing operating systems. Even more so now that Android forks represent the only serious alternative available to any phone manufacturer who isn't based in Cupertino.

> It always puzzled me why so many Perl devs moved to Python when Ruby is a much closer fit.

For me it was that I wanted to get away from Perl: the fact that Ruby is like Perl is, from that point of view, a bad thing.

Python was, for many years, that language.

The idea is that it is almost by definition more difficult or impossible for a small player to conduct anti-competitive practices, since there are other competitors to choose from.
Cost of living is complicated and lifestyle-dependent, and living in the city core vs. the suburbs makes a huge difference in most places. According to Forbes and The Economist, Singapore is #1. San Francisco may have laughably-high rents, but the cost of consumer goods, food, and many other things is far cheaper in San Francisco than in Singapore, for example, and it heavily skews the results.

Singapore is a "top 10" city by any metric and that was the main point.

FPGA Maker Snaps Up Deep Learning Chip Startup
I've been using "Sleep Cycle" since 2014 and learned a ton about myself in the process.

Most importantly, I learned that I need almost 8 hours sleep to feel my best and that I'm just subpar on the days when I don't get that much. Less ability to focus, less emotional control, less desire to exercise, less ability to resist temptation. Less happiness.

For me, it's optimal if I set the sleep cycle alarm for 8 hours and 15 minutes from time I lay down. If that all works out, I'm set up for a much more productive and happier day.
I took part in the innaugural startup school and really loved it. I would like to join this one too. Can I still apply with the same idea?
> If you allow a user to delete an app entirely like Chrome, then what do you do if they decide to factory reset their phone? The whole point of disabling instead of deleting is that it for all intents and purposes isn't there, but if a user factory resets they aren't screwed without a web browser or map application.

You could remove the app from the system while keeping it in the restoration image. Same way as how you can uninstall PC crapware when you buy a new one but it's still in the image in the recovery partition should you choose to factory reset.
I can say from personal experience I've noticed that when I don't get enough sleep, the next day I'm noticeably more prone to stress, sentences are more difficult to construct, and my memory worsens.

Proper sleep is a very high priority for me these days.
Chrome basically got a fresh start and built on top of existing WebKit codebase with new ideas. They did well with the “second mover advantage”

Firefox and IE were riddled with code debt issues so they couldn’t move fast.

Chrome was a great example of software written by a company with resources to dominate a huge market segment relatively quickly. I’m guessing Chrome earned Sundar Picchai a lot of good karma within Google to later become CEO.
Microsoft should be delighted then that they can force Internet Explorer on everyone again.

Microsoft does force Internet Explorer cum Edge on everyone. They never stopped. When the EU forced them to offer a trivial "justify a giant fine" selection tool it did essentially nothing in regards to browser share. It keeps getting cited as the precedent, and while it is in the "EU makes some fat bank" way, it did absolutely nothing for consumers. And that's for an OS that was tremendously more entrenched, whereas I recently swapped out my GS8 for an iPhone 8 with nary a hiccup (and as an aside still enjoy all those Google services).

There is so much bullshit happening throughout this discussion.

Elsewhere people are claiming that Chrome became popular because Google pushed it on their homepage, which is just ridiculous, revisionist nonsense. Chrome became popular because it earned word of mouth as a lighter, faster browser. It exploded. The same happened with Firefox. Because the platform was open and allowed you to choose whatever you want to run. Just as I can and do run Firefox on Android.

Further, vendors/carriers only abuse the right to put in alternatives. It is traditionally called crapware.

I have IPv4 from my ISP, and a Hurricane Electric tunnel to provide IPv6, because my ISP is lame. (Hello, Verizon FIOS.)

Netflix prefers IPv6. However, they have blacklisted the Hurricane Electric endpoints, because their paying customers with valid accounts might use those endpoints to view the content that they paid for while sitting in another country.

The blacklist does not take effect until you try to actually get video content from Netflix, at which point an error is returned.

The result of all this is that fast.com measures the speed of my IPv6 tunnel to Netflix CDN servers, which will not serve content. I have to turn off IPv6 routing on boxes in my house that want to watch Netflix, and then it falls back to IPv4... a completely different path than the one fast.com has just measured.

Why isn’t the EU gunning for Airbus, Safran and Arianespace? Airbus and Safran had a joint venture to build rockets, then the EU approved the sale of Arianespace to Airbus for a tiny $166 million. Now in space vehicles and launches, Airbus practically owns all of it in Europe. It effectively shuts out competing rocket makers. If you buy an Airbus rocket, you are forced to hire their Arianespace wholy owned subsidiary to launch it.

And this deal was approved by the EU and it specifically grants a monopoly to Airbus for European rocket manufacturing and launch.

The point is that the EU doesn’t care that much about monopolies— they care that much about American tech monopolies. It’s economic populism. I am not saying anything about the merits of the Android case, only pointing out that the EU doesn’t pursue EU companies with as much vigor. €5 billion is a significant payday for the EU — especially when that money comes from an American company.
either you pay for docks, or you pay for digital active devices to pinpoint dropped bikes. Its cost. So, this is a cost shifting debate.

I use docked schemes in my home city. I obviously realize the pain of the walk to and from a dock is a problem, but at scale it feels like the benefit of docked bikes outweighs the consequences of community damage from undocked bike litter.

So, yes. if you cost the locate the bike and drive to making it less like dumped shopping trolleys its good, but then you accepted the cost exists: the profit model for many bike schemes is to try and cost shift out of this, and not care.

Avoid litter: use docked bikes.

Not necessarily in the sun in that temperature, but just say indoors where there is no air conditioning. It's not bright sunlight but it can easily get to +35c. You yourself can cool down with a fan and a cold drink but the laptop is sitting around in hot temperatures in the shade.
What parts of this would you expect to be of interest for startups outside of digital, specifically biotech?
Neat. So the OS allowed you to choose alternatives and to avoid Chrome wholly. So you're fully of the opinion that the EU argument has no merit then, right?

Of course, saying it's a part of the Android/Google Experience is from the average consumer. You know that you have the Chrome browser if you so choose. Yes, you can go to the Play Store and install Firefox. Unlike on iOS where the browser alternatives are facades.
I guess there is also the case where new competitors want to enter the market, but can't because of the monopolist and the barriers it has created.
