We started YC’s Series A Program two years ago to fix a problem faced by every startup raising an A: VCs understand how Series As work and founders do not. This asymmetry of information puts founders at a significant disadvantage. Much as YC had done for seed stage financings - we decided to resolve that asymmetry in order to help founders.

We learned some interesting things, for instance:

- Founders on average have to meet with 30 investors to produce a single term sheet. (https://www.ycombinator.com/resources/the-series-a-fundraisi...)

- Founders who take pre-emptive offers take 1.4% more dilution for less money than those who run processes. (https://www.ycombinator.com/resources/pre-emptive-offers)

- Benchmarks are almost meaningless. We’ve seen As for SaaS companies with 200k in ARR and with $9m in ARR. (https://www.ycombinator.com/resources/benchmarks)

While we can't work directly with every company in the world trying to raise an A, we think that publicly distributing our learnings would help all founders. Our hope is that the Guide will remove information asymmetry from the Series A process, and help level the playing field between founders and VCs.
Reading the reddit is insane. It is one thing to see the creators and their bullshit and insane ideas and think "ok they are good at marketing, some people believed them, happens all the time". But it is reading the reddit that really puts you in contact with the chilling fear that comes from the sheer number of idiotic completely disconnected from reality people who flock around this project, who not only support the project itself but constantly contribute with various hairs-raising ideas one more insane than the next, and proudly show off their total disregard for objective technological landscape or any empirical logically sound reality in general.
There have been some recent updates where my manual settings in about:config seem to be ignored (I have all the dark theme/gtk theming options set to false or otherwise disabled) and it still uses this trash dark theme on some sites, like DDG and GitHub.

As well file and custom URIs are completely broken when installed as a snap. I cannot view any file on my system by manually typing in file://path/to/file whereas the uri functions fine in chrome. Custom application URIs require manually setting Firefox to open them in the given application, which is actually non trivial since it can't seem to find any application in the default browser, and it doesn't respect any system configuration.

Meanwhile chrome just works. These are issues I have only with Firefox on some installations, I can't seem to recreate them all the time.

The solution is to spread this virus as fast as possible. Everybody gets infected, develops immunity, problem solved.
Tailwind's draw seems to be in its name -- it helps you work faster. So for people whose bottleneck is writing lots and lots of HTML/CSS, it's probably great.

I'm guessing most of the naysayers here work in the web applications world with component-based architectures, where the HTML/CSS is a small portion of the total time they spend coding, so they can't understand why someone would sacrifice readability, maintainability, and organization for speed on something that isn't a bottleneck for them. The thing is, it absolutely might be a bottleneck for agencies and other companies that need to build lots of custom sites.

having worked on a system that managed reviews for a certain giant electronics retailer, I have bad news for you.
The article where the Mozilla guy complained said two weeks, but, yes. Months is possible. Maybe we have a different definition of quickly.

Disclosure: former Google employee, I did many pushes and fixed browser compatibility bugs whilst I was there.

In the timeframe we're talking about most products were on a biweekly push cycle. In the ideal case where there was no delay at all between you reporting a bug and it reaching the right person inside the company who could fix it, if that day happened to be on a branch cut day then that's a minimum of a two week delay to reach production unless the bug was so severe that the entire product was hosed for all Firefox users. Minor glitches in rarely used screens wouldn't count for a rollback or emergency push, for instance.

But sometimes pushes fail. There's a severe bug, attempts to fix it are too slow and the push window closes so the servers are rolled back. Now the latency is a month.

That's only software bugs. Now include the time taken for the bug report to be triaged, mis-directed, pinged, rerouted to the right person. Now include delays incurred if that person goes on holiday, gets sick or has other higher priority tasks, as bug handoff works about as well there as anyone else. That can easily add more time.

Finally, regressions are to be expected in an environment where the extent of browser testing is a function of engineer interest rather than centrally mandated. If they weren't testing Firefox well enough before they weren't testing it well enough after either. If Google had a central rule about which browsers had to be supported then I didn't know about it. There was just an assumption you'd try to support the browsers people used as best you could.

I'm not saying it was awesome or right, just that this sort of thing was not Firefox specific and there were plenty of IE or Safari compatibility bugs too.
If you are really interested in this you need to watch the documentary Three Identical Strangers. It's amazing.
Take a look at the Acknowledgement in that report, i.e the flame retardant industry funded it. There are numerous studies into the ill effects of DecaBDE and the fact it's been banned suggest these are well-founded. The flame retardant industry always hides behind their argument that you can't say that cancer was caused by that chemical. Even if that was true, the precautionary principle suggests not using them, especially when there is no evidence they improve fire safety.

"The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency gratefully acknowledges the efforts of the Illinois Public Interest Research Group and the Bromine Science and Environmental Forum to provide the Agency with important information regarding the polybrominated diphenyl ethers, especially decabromodiphenyl ether, in meetings on July 25, 2005 and September 8, 2005, respectively, and through personal contacts. The information provided is greatly appreciated."
They reinstated "don't be evil," so we're all good.
Thanks for that. To me, what is happening is that we passed a tipping point in the 1980s where it would be easier to simply automate all work than it is to continue perpetuating this illusion that work is a necessary evil for promoting self-worth.

This idea that a strong work ethic is noble is just another system of control that most people are never able to see beyond.

I don't have an answer yet, but I feel inklings that it lies somewhere along the vision of the 10 principles of Burning Man:

Immediacy

These are merely a starting point. To manifest the kind of egalitarian society of something like Star Trek, it's going to take dedicated people living their truth in order to show everyone that better ways of living are possible.

Um, my bad? I said I would try to improve this when I have time.

> You were the one who posted the link!

And the HN commenters proceed to think they are the central source of a project's vitality and popularity. I can post the link, but that is not where most of Caddy's traffic comes from. A bit self-aggrandizing of the HN crowd to assume that their opinion is the one true way; but this is true of most mob mentalities.

> but sometimes it pays not to default on the defensive.

Ah, so you think I'm being defensive... I see... I guess it is hard these days to have a discussion of facts and ideas without thinking about it in terms of attack/defense.

Anyway... I admit, I digress into lamenting the state of the HN community, which is off-topic.

But can you realistically change the design centrally of something built only with utility css classes? If the class of an element doesn’t specify its semantics you cannot properly target it in a redesign without updating the markup.

Normally I just quietly skip by ones like this, but in this case I think it's important to mention as the product's purpose involves mobile stores. There's not even a description or any info available on mobile. Not only that, but I can see the page loaded underneath the popup blocking me from viewing.
Couldn't even hazard a guess, I can send a Backblaze-like chassis if needed, but if there's no cost to pull from the AWS public S3 bucket, I'll just spin up some VMs and enumerate everything into items in the Internet Archive.

> The problem with IE was that Microsoft intentionally coupled IE versions with Windows versions

I was there. That was the headline cause of their legal troubles, but far from the only thing Microsoft got up to. They intentionally broke other sites, threw misleading messages and tried to play games with standards.

In other words, many actions that look familiar today with different actors.

It does surprise me how unpopular this sentiment is. Maybe people don't like the idea that most of the algorithms that they interact with a pretty stupid and just weight things by frequency? It does seem like people attribute considerably more intelligence to algorithms than there actually are there.

It's not uncommon that I'll have a customer try to tell me that some search or selection algorithm in our product that I wrote is making use of unknowable information to bias it's results.
> The problem with this IMO is that some enterprising person will just use regular tailwind (or another utility-css framework like tachyons) and re-implement all of these components and give it out for free, circumventing the license and killing the value of this.

No because I believe that for every enterprising person wanting to circumvent paying for software, there are that many people who want to support the entrepreneurial spirit Adam and company show, and pay for good work. That's what capitalism is suppose to be about at least, anyways.
The comparison isn’t to the tools. Visual studio is the doctors blood analysis. The stack trace that visual studio spits out is the results of the blood analysis. Can anyone with some googling figure out what a stack trace means and what to do about it? MAYBE at best but realistically no. Now do you want to do the same with your heart? Brain?

You could define the anchor element in the preflight.css file (normlize.css/reset).

Yeah, a section is a component, but in my book it also involves the visible page background where the element is located (you could override the page background with a section color), like a slice of the page.
The question was ‘Why would you invest a lot of time and effort into that?’ If you’re Kim Jong-un, why wouldn’t you build in a little insurance for 20 years down the road?

The entire promise that no human has been cloned is suspect anyway. The only thing we can say for sure is that there’s no public record of it. But it’s been possible for quite some time and the likelihood that nobody has ever done it anywhere seems quite low. It’s way less ethical to artificially modify the genome of a human, and we know that’s happened already.
Should Robots Have a Face?
Bloated specs with tons of historical cruft and edge cases. And a renderer needs to support it all. The problem stems from trying to use something designed to share documents with some custom styling as a universal GUI for applications instead.
in my opinion tailwind really only works when used with a component based framework like Vue, React or ActionView::Component. the issue to me is that you have to add sooooooooo many classes to make a button look good that you get fatigued very quickly. when using a component based, you can build a button component and just reuse that.

this isn't an issue with something like bootstrap where a single class makes a button look pretty.

This might be enough to kill the Olympics. There have been such near-cancellations before (consider Moscow and LA in the middle of the cold war), but the context was different: the Olympics were seen as an important trans-national counterforce to the conflict of the two superpowers' spheres of influence at a time when there were few such opportunities. This was ostensibly the original basis for the Olympics being revived/reinvented in the 1890s. Hosting the games could "make" a city (e.g. Melbourne and Tokyo in the 1960s).

Nowadays the Olympics are simply one of a set of large international commercial activities and one of the most corrupt of them. Hosting them is typically a disaster for the hosting cities and fewer are interested in doing so. If the games are cancelled people will still seek entertainment, and these days with so many other options, the Olympic Games may not be missed enough to survive.

Over here, the base overhead of an Electron window is around 60MB. How do you know it's not those applications allocating a lot of memory that is causing all this usage?

Sure. And in that case, just use inline styles (or CSS-in-JS, or whatever else you prefer).
Facts are easy to keep as secret. Organization is hard to keep as a secret since it involves an entire supply chain. If the secret you mentioned really required 6 people knowing it, then it can be easy to keep. Hypothetically, cloning a human requires a lot of materials that needs to be provided, so it may be harder to keep as a secret.
How the creators of Kentucky Route Zero ended their 7-year saga
> "When I started at Mozilla in 2007 there was no Google Chrome, and most folks we spoke with inside [Google] were Firefox fans," Nightingale recollected in a Twitter thread on Saturday.

> "When Chrome launched...

... many of those same folks started to use Chrome, making it easier to miss Firefox bugs?

Jonathan Nightingale is claiming a company-wide conspiracy ("coordinated plan" in Jonathan's words) across "hundreds" of different product teams could be executed without any Firefox users or other internal Mozilla sympathizers picking up on it.

We're talking Google here: they have a hard enough time coordinating internally when they're openly trying.

This seems like a very complicated theory when the natural consequences of everyone switching to a different product provide an obvious and ready explanation for what we're seeing.

Ideally developers ought to test everything across different browsers, I agree, but we know in practice developers are only human and humans are lazy. And testing is still no substitute for using a browser day in and day out.

I want better support for Firefox and other browsers, but blaming lack of support on a conspiracy is an easy cop-out that doesn't help us address the real issues at stake.

Hey hackers, the creator here.

StorePreviewer is a developer tool that helps you optimize and preview your app's copy and screenshots on the App Store without the need for publishing it live or other any other design tools.

It is built on vue.js, tailwind css and some components from Element UI. In order to move things fast and ship this MVP I decided to just use a single index.html with vue's cdn.

Would love to hear more feedback from you!

P.S I launched it today on PH: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/storepreviewer
Sure, but you don't need separate priority and severity scales to do that: it's just one priority scale but you just assign the priority not entirely on the clients expressed needs but rather also factoring in your own assessment of their needs.

> I'm really confused by all this arguing against simply having more information.

As with all information gathering, you need to weigh the cost of gathering and storing vs the gains of having the information.

People are saying there are no gains from having this information; which, if true means if there's any cost, the cost is too high.

People are saying it is hard to determine, which means the cost to gather it is high, it may include concensus building.

In my personal professional experience, there hasn't been a whole lot of retrospective analysis on the bugtracker data. So information gathering that doesn't immediately help with fixing the bugs, or communicating which bugs need to be fixed sooner is time wasted. Use of non-critical fields in the tracker is spotty and inconsistent, so analysis would require an expensive data cleaning phase.

Sure, you can say I didn't work in healthy organizations if they didn't do this sort of analysis. But that's the root cause of most of the bugs --- there were never any formal specifications and so many things didn't meet the specs; plus occasionally we wrote crashy code.

Just because something appears obvious to your viewpoint does not make it a fact. That's not how facts work.

Here's an example: these two statements are false.

Fair enough. I'd call that definition a component.

Also, you and I random are not wearing it correct, that’s basically given. It requires regular trainings and tests.

Fair enough, it's easy to misunderstand the intended tone in online comments.
Styled Components still uses CSS, it just removes the ambiguity and additional abstractions around class names.
I think the benefits are obvious.

Lets say you have 10 bugs and they are prioritized in order from 1 to 10. Bugs with the priority 2, 3, and 6 have been given a severity of P0 (a ship-stopper, as the original post described it). Bugs 1, 4, 5, and 7-10 are not considered P0 bugs.

Given those priorities and their relative severity, that means the team is committing to deliver, at least, bugs 1-6 prior to the next release. That makes severity a pretty useful dimension to consider on its own and not just as consideration when determining priority.
This whole thing seems somewhat ridiculous to me. If there is intent here (which evidence seems to dictate that there is), then Google is playing a very short-term game and Google’s strength has been it’s long-term thinking.

There’s not even much to argue about: web tech is standardized, and each vendor can (and should) be held to an objective measurement o how well they implement the spec. When MS chooses to make spec-compliant sites, they should be easily (and even publicly) able to say “hey your browser is out of spec, and this is why”.

Just so odd to think that these sort of classroom politics still happen.
Yes, but not a healthy boy. The opposite is doable instead. (By using parts of the other X chromosome.)
Damn, I'd wear a replica of this. Just make it machine-washable.
Sure. I view tailwind as a moderate abstraction over inline styles.
And ironically, the people who would be the best off would be the atheists who were willing to pretend to go along with whatever was in control at the time.
