half the point of a password manager is to generate passwords so you don't have to think of (or repeat) them and the other half is to store them so you don't have to remember them. I'm not sure where the friction is coming from? In my experience they're easier than remembering a user/password combo by a long shot.
What is Uber's long term moat/pricing power? To compete in a local market you just need to sign up 5000 or so drivers. At a $5 signup bonus that costs like $25,000. You can just be the third app, most drivers already swap between Lyft/Uber. You could even form a drivers cooperative and just give all the charges to drivers (like farmers do).

Regulatory capture seems like the only real route to sustainable profits with their existing main product. What they really need is something where they are the only one or two legal providers for a locale.

A different model of what they are doing is using their massive revenue growth (not profit) to raise money to fund a search for real pricing power with food delivery, shared bikes, and Uber freight.
Companies should feel free to not accept credit cards, but if they do accept them, it becomes a cost of doing business, and I, as a card user, expect to not be penalized for using one.

Providing parking is also a cost of doing business. I don't see any arguments in favor of merchants charging car-driving customers more than walk-ins.

Doing speech-to-text and text-to-speech in an accurate and convincing way is extremely difficult and its cutting edge AI.

A big part of what the Leon dev has done is created a way to plug in to different providers for TTS and STT. In my opinion this is quite useful because it takes care of all of the hard parts. So its a good starting point for creating your own personal assistant with the features that you think are useful.

The thing that is tough though is that the open source stuff out there that you can install offline for free i.e. DeepSpeech and Flite or similar is pretty inferior to the cloud-based or proprietary stuff. However, having the provider framework is a good starting point for comparing different systems that can plug-in to fill that role. And hopefully with this packaging as a personal assistant ready for offline mode, it will bring more attention to those open source TTS and STT engines/voices/datasets that are out there and people will improve them.
In industries with many unpaid internships, only the children of the wealthy can afford to work for free to establish themselves. This leads to those industries being (even more) dominated by the upper classes.
While heart breaking, and terrible I feel we as a society have a very warped view of death. We're all way too afraid of it (including myself). It's probably a symptom of death these days in developed countries being so rare. Running away from it as I have learned makes it so much worse, than trying to learn some acceptance.

> If capital doesn't grow at least as fast as inflation, may as well just spend it on consumption now

Nobody said anything about capital returning less than inflation. The question is why should it - no, why does it - return more than labor? You're spinning all over the place trying not to address that.

> That money was already taxed

The principal was taxed, not the appreciation. Or, to put it in even clearer perspective, the labor was taxed but not the capital gains. Why? No matter how you slice it, that's a pretty serious policy decision. Why shouldn't capital gains be taxed at least as much as labor? If capital is so amazingly effective, it would still be advantageous to accumulate it.

> The fact of wealth disparity does not imply unfairness.

It implies fairness even less.
The answer has been "no" for a long time. Once people got excited about Algol they started basing languages on the idea of inline math/expressions. FORTRAN survived by changing; COBOL was mostly abandoned.
I've been thinking about this too. I think you are betting on whether or not they are still just getting started. I'm thinking about self driving cars and how much growth can happen there if they crack that nut.

When Facebook IPO'd did they already have the self serve ad product rolled out? I believe Google did not and if you could imagine that future then it might have been easier to see a bright future. I didn't see Android coming until the iPhone came out as another example.
Let the superficial bad news divert investor interest so that the IPO is cheap.
I don't agree at all.

If you allow unpaid internship, then employers will abuse this for fields where there is a lot of unemployment. And jobless people will be forced to accept those internships because they can't find any other job due to lack of experience.

Some slaves were ok to work for free and be owned by someone. Does it mean slavery should be authorized because some slaves are ok with it?
Snips is totally Cloud based and proprietary as far as I can tell. Leon has offline capabilities and also the ability to switch between different cloud providers.
I really like this line: Finding summer housing in the Bay Area is usually a big chore, so we’re excited to be rolling out a program (more details soon) with some great YC companies to make it easy

That will open up the internships to a larger group of students.

The NSW Mental Health Act is an appalling instrument. I've been highly suicidal and scheduled via so-called "crisis intervention teams" (invoked by my wife) and all it achieves is reinforcing to a suicidal person just how utterly powerless they are and how grossly dysfunctional and incompetent the mental health system is. Locking up law-abiding people only lasts so long, then they leave far, far, far worse than if you had never done that to them.

Support services like Lifeline are a waste of time if you've already been plugged into medication and talk therapy for a protracted period. You don't need some well-meaning volunteer to state the obvious that there is help. You've been getting professional help for years. It's losing hope that leads people to suicide.

In my case finding a clinical psychologist who prioritises mind-body therapy (with a strong focus on trust and non-violence) made a large difference. Unfortunately it requires far more sessions and a "follow your nose" approach based on the individual client so it doesn't have the empirical robustness of mainstream therapies. But it changes your outlook completely when it's a care-focused therapy (ie the complete opposite of what the Mental Health Act smashes you beyond recognition with).

Cause we have to kill every hacker existed on this planet first unless if every web developer had a team of 100+ specialists for free. For example, from a hacker perspective writing web apps in C is like running Windows 98 as a server in 2019 unless if you're Google and you willing to sacrifice 5000 devs for a web application from scratch in C.

Hm. So you think that libsodium is going to dry up and disappear from the internet in "5 years' time"? Bear in mind that its first GitHub import was in 2013 and that it is used, and supported, by lil' guys like...uh...lemme look at this..."Google".

While it's drying up and disappearing, is it going to take with it things like rbnacl which both use it transitively, package it for their environments, and also have some pretty great documentation on how it works? Is it going to take with it the public definitions of Curve25519 and XSalsa20+Poly1305? Are we going to get all neuralyzed and just...lose it?

Look, I'm no security wonk. I have some interest in it, but that's it. And even I realize that libsodium as a thing you can use if you need to will probably outlive both you and I.

Also, FWIW, it took me literally one Google search to find a bzip decompressor. I did have to read a page first, though.
Over the long run, at least in the U.S. it seems like Uber/Lyft are edging towards a comfortable duopoly. Usually their prices move in lockstep (each has insights into the other company's prices through email receipt intelligence, credit card intelligence, webscraping, etc.). And their services are fairly exchangeable. For either one to win there needs to be either a massive cost advantage or some sort of stickiness factor – which neither have. Will be fun to follow the '19 IPO season with Postmates on the horizon and DoorDash fat with Softbank money

(I find this topic interesting to talk about and I don't mean to make this a huge criticism of what you're doing. I think it's great any time someone in a position to help early stage startups does so.)

I'm definitely not saying that 1000x returns are all that matters, just that they're an inescapable reality.

My understanding is based on what I believe are three facts:

1. A given startup's financial returns can range from 0x to 1000x or more due to the uniquely-high scalability of tech startups.

2. It's impossible to predict how big any particular startup's returns will be (i.e. not even the founders or investors can know).

3. Some very small percentage of any (sufficiently large) startup portfolio will return huge multiples unless you do something incredibly backwards.

I'd imagine that YC generates much more than 12% IRR even excluding their hits. But what makes them so incredibly profitable is their hits. And because of their understanding that the hits are what makes them so profitable, they can rationally afford to be very generous towards all of their startups, which makes great startups want to apply, creating a virtuous cycle.

Creating a firm that tries to be YC-without-the-hits seems totally fine, except if you still end up with huge hits, because then you're just YC with much less founder-friendly terms. It may feel like the conservative and safe approach but it could also be the riskiest possible path, by serving to filter out the best startups.

There's a huge market opportunity for YC competitors that are remote but operate on the same terms. And when someone does this, they'll be first choice for all of the best startups, just like YC is. And it seems smart to compete with what's possible rather than with what currently exists.
So two possibilities that might solve your objections:

1) If, as you suggest, going back to the past to change something splits time, then everything is fine, albeit in a sort of selfish way: you went back to change something for yourself, but the timeline where the (presumably bad) event happened will still exist, you just won't have to experience it anymore. That is, of course, assuming that when you go back to change time, when you go forward again to return to your own time, you actually move forward on the new timeline, not on the old one. And this also doesn't address what you do with the you that exists in that timeline already. Even when you go back to your original time (just on the new timeline), it's still a problem: when you arrive back at your original time, there should be two of you (because the future you on the new timeline didn't need to go back in time to change something, because it was already changed).

2) The other possibility is that you don't actually need to change anything. If the many-worlds theory is true, then those other possible universes already exist. So if you want to change something, you just use some bit of technology to find the universe that has the change you want, and then transport yourself to it. You still have the problem of what you'll find there: will there be another you that you have to murder and hide the body (leaving your old universe with a never-to-be-solved missing-person report)? Or will you have to send him to your old universe, where he'll be confused about events being different? But then what stops him from just using that same technology to return to his universe to kick you out?

Sorta tangential: time travel might not even need to be what we think it is. If many-worlds is true, then it stands to reason that those many possible universes include one where the big bang happened a year later (or any other arbitrary time sooner or later) than it did in our universe. So if you want to go have a do-over for an event that happened a year ago, you just find a universe that's delayed a year, and switch to it. You still have the aforementioned problem of what you do with that universe's you. And in that case your body is also a year older than it should be in your new universe, so you probably wouldn't want to pick a universe so far back such that you look significantly different than the you that belongs in that universe.

At any rate, this is all really fun to think about.
Four paragraphs later, there is still no source given for the figures.

Anyway...

"... if the alternative is staying in place in CA, property taxes with the Prop 13 assessment limit are absolutely the right comparison..."

No, because even if staying within California, moving generally means your new residence starts at "full retail" tax basis... so that is the proper comparison. (Had Prop 5 passed, it would be very different.)
I don't want to be too blunt, but I think the barrier you are seeing is 25% real and 75% in your head.

Some of the best coders and ops people I've ever worked with either never went or never graduated from college.

If you've been working 2 years as a full-time mobile dev, you're qualified for a full-time role. We pay our interns industry salaries, just for 3 months instead of 12. We do take a little bit of extra care to give them a good intro to the company and make sure we take them to a factory in their first (and only) 3 months and have a few intern events over the summer, but otherwise, it's 80-90% like having a software developer job. A few places will have some HR/recruiting drone 86 your resume because of no college. Many will not and most hiring managers who are/were programmers won't care.

tl;dr: Apply anyway (for full-time).
Yep, it was msvbvm??.dll. However, it just about fits on a floppy.
This should be the answer. As soon as the user enters a valid email (regex test) send a request to server to figure out what path they need to go down in the “federated flow”. What we shouldn’t do is diminish the experience for some because the flow for some others is different.
Sorry, not factorial either. More like 170k(170k - 1)(170k - 2).

not that it necessarily changes your argument, but the signup bonuses that uber / lyft offer are significantly higher than $5 (closer to $1k), and are structured in such a way to ensure you're not dual-apping.

1960s and 1970s mostly. Chernobyl was designed earlier. Fukushima was a super early design. The real flaw there was they put the backup generator fuel supply in the basement in a flood zone. The reactor was designed for the US midwest, with tornados in mind as the biggest threat. Moving to Japan, they should have put at least some of the backup fuel above ground level and it would have been fine.

Nope that's not my argument
Unfortunately internships aren't really designed for you. From the company's perspective, the point of an internship is to build a relationship with students so that they're likely to join full time after they graduate. Since you're already eligible to work full time, there's no incentive for a company to hire you as an intern. If you really want to work at those companies, study I'm your free time and apply for a full time role.

As someone in another thread mentioned, this case you’re explaining can be handled super easily by making a request to the server to figure out which flow they’re in as soon as they’ve entered a valid email (regex test). Dropbox was cited as an example of this in the wild.

What’s hilarious to me is that people mention the reason for this less than great UX decision and basically leave it at QED. There are always better solutions, we shouldn’t just say “Well, that’s just how it is cause X”. We’re engineers, let’s engineer something better!

I interned at a YC company as my first internship (LeadGenius, YCS11) before they had this organized a program. I had no idea what YC was before I applied, and learned about YC and HN later. The YC dinner was great, ended up making some connections and eventually applied to YC Fellowship two years later and went through myself. The YC network has been great for me, and it all started with an internship within a portfolio company.

I'm at another YC company, Starsky Robotics now, and we're open for interns! Come join and build self-driving trucks.
