I don’t understand why you think an alternative video monetization platform is going to do any better at paying long-tail video creators while not falling afoul of advertisers or legal authorities.

I don't get it. If there will be one, are you going to be unhappy? Because you surely sound like you'd be unhappy.
Yes I think I got that. I was not saying that Java creates a new thread for every IO operation but that async/await in JavaScript etc. must do something like starting a new "pseudo-thread". And that is why debugging in Java is easier - because it doesn't need to start a new thread. That's what I was trying to understand. Thanks.
There are a lot of shaky ergonomic concepts that have successfully marketed their way into our brains because they are associated with an expensive solution. Some of them are worthwhile, but it's hard to tell. When you want a bandaid, you're inclined to try anything with a reputation.

Every time someone shops for standing desks, I mention my floor desk setup. A floor desk with height and tilt action(plus some peripherals) is a fraction of the cost of a regular desk and chair, and lets me change posture frequently. If I need more surfaces or a mix of angled and flat, I can fit in a second desk. Unless ceremonial reasons or a dirty floor require you to be in a more elevated pose, it is the superior.

Yet every time, they invent a reason to not want it. After all, they aren't there to solve their aching back, they are buying a standing desk.
What's the time and place for swearing? I'm not sure there exists any middle schooler who doesn't swear like a sailor, let alone a 13+ year old.

Swearing in isolation doesn't hurt anyone. There's much worse things that can be spoken. It's much healthier to encourage children to not conceal things around their parents. Teaching them to censor themselves is counter protective to an open, trusting dialogue.
You seem to be only concerned with the price of the fund while ignoring the yield. You have to look at the total return.

Yes you're selling lower yielding bonds but like I said your replacing them with higher yielding ones, which contributes to your total return. This is true for short and long term funds. The key is to buy a bond fund with a duration that matches your planned holding time.

Sounds like they need to make reporting dead simple. Put an alarm button on every badge reader. Hit the button. Pre-recorded “intruder who did not badge present. Everyone present please wait for security.” Then locks second internal door. Or even better just automate counting bodies vs badging on every entrance/exit. Lots of nfc/face recognition type technology to tell who is who.

I’d be just fine with science prolonging my prime years, even if it didn’t mean living longer. My hope is that the life of my eyes, skin, and teeth are all able to make it in good condition into relatively old age — I don’t necessarily mean looking younger per se, but in good/decent working order.

My grandmother lived almost two decades longer than that and was enjoying life immensely until about 5 days before she died.
I don’t think you are “most likely to get rejected”

IIRC, they have a preference for founders > 1 but it is not a strict rule. From an investment perspective this makes sense for a number of reasons.

Diversification at the top decision maker level may be seen as beneficial.

Bus factor is greater than or equal to 1. (vs exactly 1 for a solid founder) if a solo founder decides to pack it in or is the victim of a bus accident, the probability the startup will survive, in the early stages and maybe much longer, is approximately zero.

Separation of concerns may be possible. Sales/marketing/anything non-technical + technical is a powerful combination if both are scrappy. Getting a solo founder that’s good at both is exceedingly rare.

I am certain the list goes on and I may not have even touched on the most important points that YC values.

My own experience, however, is that if you are not selecting cofounders from a pool that meets or exceeds your own level of ambition/dedication and skill, you are almost certainly going to fail.

I would argue, if you don’t have access to the right people in your network when you form your initial business, the odds are much better if you wait and take on a cofounder at a later time, even if it feels like they weren’t there for the beginning. If your startup is remotely successful the future will be much longer than the short history of your company and the benefits of having a good cofounder will outweigh whatever equity you give up.
My guess is ruthlessly cut costs and gradually degrade remaining customer good will until it's a dessicated corpse.
We can't currently cure aging and there is little convincing evidence that suggests we will be able to anytime soon. This is despite the claims of many attempts at peddling false hopes by folks like David Sinclair and Aubrey de Grey. We can mitigate some downsides of aging at best. Aging is baked into our genes as natural selection never had a reason to favor any other approach.
Sometimes things happen that change dynamics for generations or longer. The Black Plague changed worker-employer dynamics because of the shortage of workers. Software has made plenty of professions obsolete. etc.

In this particular time, there are in my opinion some extra gnarly risks that most people aren't talking about.
not to alarm you, but the sp500 is only above the pre pandemic high by about 7.5% while the Dow is below. inflation adjusted, sp500 is below pre pandemic highs.
This is a completely different universe from VC, Tiger, Figma or even the public markets. Software companies like this (low growth, high cash flow) got absolutely eviscerated in the public markets over the last decade so they would never consider that. And TIBCO is about 20 years out from the growth they needed to attract VC money or money from Tiger. Won't bother with the Figma exit comparison. The universe of buyers after this company will either be a mega-club deal with a mix of PE firms, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, etc. or one of the hulking B2B software giants I had mentioned.

No matter how you want to couch it, PE firms got away with this one. They're content to grow the topline 4-8% per year and cash flows 10-15% (the real metric that matters because the company isn't growing enough to ever be valued on a revenue multiple but will be valued on an EBITDA or FCF multiple). At roughly 15,000 combined headcount today, I'd expect that number to be under 10,000 in 24 months.
The pain/anger you’re feeling is called stallmanogenesis: the suffering induced by realizing, by force or otherwise, that stallman was right
PE companies are putting lipstick on a pig that is Cloud Software Group, to unload this mammoth company on IPO bagholders in one-two years.

CEO just needs to aggressively outsource all software development (their leadership page https://www.cloud.com/leadership.html gives some hints) to cut costs and boost bottom-line for two years, so that numbers look nicer in IPO prospect one-two years from now.

it's not information being promulgated, but speculation.

Time will tell whether said speculation will turn out to be right. However, if more people believed such speculation, it might make it more likely to be right in the future. Therefore, there's a selfish reason for said person to promulgate such speculation.

The new draft literally doesn't change anything. It just defines some of the things that FDA has been already asking for in the past 7 years for every device submission.

Just my opinion as someone who has worked on many infusion pumps; that FDA review division is the best at FDA. They probably ask more cybersecurity questions than any other group I've encountered.

I review a minimum of 5x - 510ks a week.
I think the counter argument in the article that was more relevant was the grass is always greener on the other side part. It's hard to form an informed opinion until we've been on both sides.

Though I think it's totally valid to want to try the cofounder approach if you've tried the solo approach and just totally hated it and never want to do it again. I think there are probably also plenty of founders out there who have had a bad cofounder experience and would only consider solo-founding for their next venture.

The Soviets scuttled a nuke sub that way, in shallow water off Novaya Zemlya. Putin has offered to raise and dispose of it "properly".

I think this is the appropriate framing.

The problems that would arise as a result of a “cure for aging” should result in societal decisions that fix existing problems we just push to the side because death kind of solves them.
It’s not necessary to do that, but we would have to move away from the current free for all. Probably a strict waiting list to have children, or something simpler like a one child policy.

Sustainability would become vastly more important than our current short term horizons.

The best way to get a better job is to show that you take your current job seriously. You show up to work. You get your work done. You know what you are talking about. You are eager to learn.

TLDR. Stay at your current job. Apply to every single job you find interesting.
The cost portion is right but good will from these companies degraded a decade ago. The game is now to do anything at all costs to prevent churn and downsells whether that's bribery, lying, cheating, stealing, lawsuits, etc.

Is it just me or are people massively overthinking note taking.
A lot of talk here about the flaws in the study. I gotta say, founding a startup is not a numbers game, if you see it that way you've already lost. It's about the founder(s): their vision, their judgement, their force-of-will, and most of all, what they do every day. The pros and cons of solo vs group founding are well analyzed, but for your startup, the one trying to build something from nothing, the data tells you nothing, it's just the noise of averages which is utterly irrelevant to your specific situation as a founder. The only thing that matter is what you are doing each day in your vertical. Are you making progress? Do you have traction? Is it working?

I'm not saying solo vs group isn't significant. It is. But you have to make a call and run with it. Reading more articles about it won't help. Everyone's situation is different. Successful entrepreneurs are above all resourceful. Don't get caught playing house.
You're right, I'm making a lot of assumptions. OP asked each person for their opinion, not a crystal ball with 100% accuracy, I gave mine.

That said, I've been a reluctant member of the disability community for several decades, and I can also state that ME/CFS has a heckuva lot of overlap with Long Covid. The disabled community has called a lot of the things that have happened this entire pandemic, while 'experts' have gotten a lot of things wrong. I'm telling you what all the disabled people, who have been right this entire time, are saying: a lot of businesses are on the verge of collapse, because of long covid and other covid-related reasons (like, getting burned out from getting covid 3 times a year).

Go to a subreddit for nurses and see how things really are. Go to a subreddit for teachers. Our hospitals are going to collapse, I predict in a few years, if we don't change course. Our schools are going to buckle under this strain. How functional is an economy with a 36 hour wait to get in the ER and terrible educational options? What happens when all the flight attendants, teachers, nurses, doctors, bus drivers, waiters, cooks, and so on either get too sick or too burnt out and quit en masse?

That's why I'm saying it's not just "a recession," it's that plus...a whole lot of other huge economic issues.

I understand if you think this makes me sound alarmist. But, FYI, when I lived in NYC and I warned that our laissez faire attitude to the air at Ground Zero was going to give thousands of people cancer, I was also called alarmist.

As Sarah Kendzior says, it's a sin to be right too early.
Yes, I've been a professional C#/.NET developer before and understand LINQ and Entity Framework. The difference is that CTEs allow you to reference multiple tables at once and do inserts and updates on the intermediate result set. You can also use recursive CTEs to do hierarchical and graph-style queries, which you can't do with LINQ as far as I know.

LINQ also can't do window functions. Like I said, it covers the basics of SQL that most applications need. But as soon as you need to go beyond that you'll be writing custom SQL.
I'm talking about every car getting sold. Not the typical Tesa owners. Even a dozen like in a typical EV lot in an entire apartment building would be insufficient if it's the only option.

People are seriously downplaying how massive this investment is going to be in infrastructure. This isn't like building highways across farmlands in the 1950s.

These are already-built apartment buildings where the property owners are wary of doing minimal investments in their properties combined with already strain grids. Not to mention every single gov project is 10yrs late and 4x the initial cost.
In light of this I'm bemused by the streamer's lack of understanding why his video was age-restricted. Censor out the fucking curse words if you want your content to be deemed suitable for a general audience; this isn't hard!

Right, YC does not like solo founders. Not only that, but they also require you to split equally with your co-founders [1].

From an investor's pov that makes sense. Their investment is safer if they can force out a co-founder if he/she is not working out.

[1] https://www.ycombinator.com/library/5x-how-to-split-equity-a...
Seems like a business is likely to fall apart if just one of the founders leaves. One founder gives you a success probability of P. Two is P*P. P*P is less than P unless success was 100%.
That's wrong. They key element of "spyware" is that it monitors and reports outside of it's own realm, and cause damage with the data. Like a keylogger logs keys even it's not the active program. What VSCode does is only monitoring user action within VSCode for technicality. Until you can provide evidence otherwise, calling it "spyware" is act of defamation.

Also, if software with telemetry is spyware, there is no mainstream browser clean. Feel free to use forks like Tor Browser or VSCodium if you like, but expanding the scope of spyware unreasonably only gonna cause confusion to average people.
Google claims its software engineering practices are second to none. Whether this is actually true is a complicated question.
> Teaching them to censor themselves is counter protective to an open, trusting dialogue.

Teaching them kids to behave publicly without resorting to profanities at every opportunity is the best thing a parent can teach their kids if the goal is to prepare them to enter professional life. It's about self-control, not censorship.

Any idea or opinion, even the most controversial ones, can be expressed without resorting to vulgarity.

It's anything but counter productive, quite the opposite.

Good luck getting apartment buildings built >10yrs ago to invest in a major project like that. Which means most of them.

Or do you mean your local/federal government is going to give massive subsidies to one of the largest infrastructure projects on private property in history? And get this done in a decade?

My building was made in 2012 and I walked around counting the number of A/C outlets, there was about one for every 25-30 cars. And those are standard outlets.

I always like to poke fun at the “How to deal with being the smartest person in the room/industry/world”-style blog posts that make for common front-page schlock here, but this is a fascinating and relatively rare sub-species of “You ARE the smartest person in the room/industry/world. Anyone that suggests otherwise is ‘considered harmful’”

I love that the extension of this is “making friends considered harmful”, “trusting others considered harmful”, “forming professional relationships considered harmful (unless they’re subservient to your supreme vision, intellect and command)”

This reads like a very angry breakup letter.
While I don’t find the arguments in the article compelling (ie population increases are good as they lead to growth), enabling humans to live forever has a more dire consequence: an acceleration of the inequality gap.

Death provides a natural mechanism to reset wealth and power. Without it, power will accumulate to those who already have it, forever.
If we could cure some aspects of aging without prolonging life, that seems like it would be an obvious and nearly indisputable good.

I'd rather have 80 good years than 80 years of progressive decline.
Everyone goes through a prepping phase. It's just a phase though.
At the end of the day, I don't think there's a right choice here. Either way we choose to go, with or without a cofounder, starting a startup is just damn hard, and either path has a ton of potential pitfalls, so the best we can do is just pick the path that better suits our life situation/preferences.

FWIW, the actual recommendations in the article are a lot more nuanced than the rather inflammatory title. I for one appreciated it, if nothing more than as something to counter the prevailing propaganda in the valley around how having a cofounder always increases your chances to succeed, even though cofounder conflict consistently ranks as one of the top startup killers. I especially concur with the conjecture that "cofounder dating" (and services that facilitate and encourage it) likely leads overwhelmingly to bad outcomes for the vast majority of cases, and people might have better chances to succeed as a solo founder than to resort to founding with someone they've been on just a handful of "dates" with.
I think the point is a physical limitation of time will get us all in certain situations. It's great you have time for both, and maybe they don't.
