Shipping to most countries outside of the US is about $14 for economy (ground).

Shipping to Canada is about $21.

And within the contiguous US states, $10.

This is on top of the $22 base price, which brings the total cost to $32 (a few bucks cheaper than Costco).

Umm, why couldn't I? If we don't think of suicides or drink driving as a moral wrong (we could call this idea "sin"), why couldn't we let people do whatever they want, up to allowing them to end their lives - as long as people are not hurting others? The externalities are a problem but not as big as we perceive.
>> Most of the pairs had maintained remarkably similar exercise routines, despite living apart.

> Besides the testament to how 'everything is heritable' inherent in that observation [...]

>> Interestingly, the twins tended to have very similar diets, whatever their workout routines, so food choices were unlikely to have contributed to health differences.

> Also very interesting, and counter to the usual narratives about health. (Everything is heritable...)

Why do you think this proves genetic causes? They were twins, after all, they were both socialised under the exact same circumstances for two decades. Given they had identical upbringing, I'm not surprised that e.g. their preferences to food are quite similar.
It just made me sad :(
Bioware have successfully pivoted from rich story-driven RPG territory into modern military shooter (butwithlasers!) territory, which seems like it will be predictably profitable for at least another decade.
There is no non-standard employment agreement here. The 'docs' that we are referring to her ignoring are federal law; Specifically, the Federal Records Act, which classifies her e-mails as federal records (the latest update clarifies this, but there's a reasonable argument that it was still the case before the explicit callout), and therefore subject to FOIA requests and other forms of review.
Indeed. I would think a hastily coded perl script written in a fog of tequila being so effective is a pretty good vote in my favor.

Hmm. To be honest, I think the best bet these guys have is to get bought out by Apple to work on the Xcode team. This tool is too complicated for normal users and too limited and risky for programmers. Also, the apps it produces look awfully basic. It doesn't seem like you could design an amazing, fluid, and responsive user experience with this software, which is pretty much the bare minimum to get any attention in the App Store these days.

Amazing tech, though — for sure.
They are. But they're not in the Fortune 500, and they're about to fall out of the Fortune 1000.
I always find it interesting that whenever exercise/diet topics come up on HN that people will go to the n-th degree to try and discredit or rubbish the studies. Could it be a bias in the stereotypical geek which shuns both these habits and so seeks an intellectual reason to justify his sedentary lifestyle?

I wouldn't count it as 4.7kg improvement. 3.3kg is fair though. That would imply bodybuilders are close to 50 kg "healthier" than I am for the same height assuming no fat loss.
But I think none of these measurements are that great to prove any point. Are we optimizing for longer lifespan, attraction for the opposite sex or just some arbitrary number goals?
Strange how in the YC interview they claim they're developing something better than existing app development tools because their technology isn't just a WebviewUI wrapper so it's more performant, but then they release a video of someone developing an app that would be easier to build and just as quick if it was made as a wrapped WebviewUI in Cordova or something.

If you want to impress people with the difference between your tech and something that you believe isn't as good you need to show off the differentiating factor as much as possible.

This is certainly the stronger assumption. Eating habits in particular are very social and habitual. It doesn't stretch the imagination to imagine the twins, having lived in a single household for >=18 years, have a deeply set familiarity with certain foods, recipes, etc.
I think you're a little confused, to be honest.

Having a lot of snacks lying around isn't the same thing as missing adulthood, and not having a lot of snacks lying around is not an indicator of adulthood. They're not correlated.

What you actually want to look for is information on how you'll actually work. What responsibility you have. Whether or not you're trusted to make your own decisions. That sort of thing.
Yeah that sounds like a bit much. Honestly for me, I max out at 4 a day, I really can't do much more than that even if they're small meals.

I don't get how people do it 365 times a day, but then again I was never much of an eater.

I do and I regard them as a bug in need of refactoring. I just ran sloccount on one of our key services and the largest non-test file is 106 lines. It has three methods that do not call each other. The largest test file is 268 lines.

Then again we have another service with four files over 1000 lines (1441 the biggest), and we experience significant pain: not because of the size of the files but because of what the size of the class means about its design. That's on a team that had significant pressure to meet some tight deadlines. They are now actively working on refactoring those classes - again, not because of the size, but because of the design.
From what I understand your created a Flash Clone to create smartphone apps (The VM, the simple programming language, it's all there). This sounds quite nice but where do you see yourself making money? On the creator's side (like Adobe did?) or on the customer's side (like the AppStore)?

I like your idea, and the vimeo video doesn't look bad BUT: You seem to make a mistake I often see with (being one myself) Dev/Tech people: Our own enthusiasm a product or idea prevents us from verifying the actual market need. Instead we start doing what we love: Building. Unfortunately the more we build the less we are open to criticism or potential customer's feedback. For this reason we start only talking to people who like our product (but aren't customers) and get stuck in a positive feedback loop that isolates us from the hard truth that we might move in a wrong direction. Wrong, not because the idea isn't good but wrong because without a market the idea won't be sustainable.

I wish you all the best guys. Revenge can be great motivator but don't fight wind mills.

Why? It was a poster boy for a cause.

Sim city, the very definition of a single player game, forced in to some sort of Frankenstein online game for no real purpose.

Gamers had had enough and sim city made a convenient rallying point. It's a bad trend that a lot of games are going through they try and force you to enjoy some sort of multiplayer or social mode with no benefit to the single player experience. And no way to turn it off.
Negative feedback incoming. Sorry.

Your landing page (http://creolabs.com/) doesn't care about me (the user) at all. There is a big difference between being proud of your product and being self-aggrandizing, and you're on the latter end of that scale.

To quote Henry Ford, you can't build a reputation on what you're going to do. Apple can get away with saying "something big is going to happen" because they've already proved (over and over and over again) that they can deliver. They've earned our trust. You haven't (yet).

The landing page talks about rewriting things from scratch, and a custom compiler, and language influences, but it doesn't tell me what the product does, how it does it, how it fits into my life, and what it will enable me to do that I can't do right now. To put it differently, you're placing a demand on my time (by asking me to get social, or share my e-mail address, or even read the page), but you haven't thought through how to make me feel like I've spent my time on your site wisely.

Your product is important to you, I'm not. That's actually perfectly fine (I get the appeal of building beautiful systems more than anyone), but that's not a company (yet). It's somewhere between a hobby and a research project.

Your video demo has the same problem -- you show off random features of the environment, but you don't show me how I can build a real app. Again, you don't care about me, the user.

Based on what I could get from the demo, the system is actually ridiculously impressive, which is great; but you need to learn to look at the world through other people's eyes. That's way harder than building the most sophisticated of optimizing compilers.

There are plenty of smart people elsewhere who believe the human mind is un-simulatable. For example, Roger Penrose argues that thought processes are deterministic but non-algorithmic.

I've never really understood that perspective, though. Surely, in the absolute worst case, we could just make an atom-for-atom copy of a human brain? Even if you take seriously the idea that there's some kind of magic consciousness juice that exists outside the universe, evolution has managed to hook into it and surely so can we.
Through the interview you seemed more annoyed with the questions than excited about your product.
Secretaries and senior officials are required by federal law to keep records pertinent to the operation of their departments. It's not really something you can cross out in your offer letter...
Have to agree with general sentiment here... this seems too much like a product and not something that can turn into a business solving a need.

What's the market size? Compatibility? Pricing? What apps have been built? How advanced? How long to learn a new language? What about the surrounding ecosystem (storage, analytics, notifications, etc)? Do you offer support? Training? What if you disappear in a year, what then?

There are already plenty of tools (as mentioned by the interviewers) for making mobile app development easier but there's a limit to how far you can go with non-developers. I think you're building into a niche of people who might be interested enough to dabble and but not enough to become serious, and that just doesn't sound like something you can build a company on.

Btw, maybe I'm alone in this but being someone in their 20s, it felt strange to read "3 young boys in their early twenties" as if they couldn't handle an interview. I strongly suggest reviewing everything you've done so far and asking more fundamental questions about the viability of the business, because at the end of the day, that's what matters.

I think they missed the point of another question as well:

> YC: How many apps has been developed with your software?

> Creo: As I already said and as I clearly written in our apply, we are currently in pre-beta so we just developed apps for internal usage, nothing is on the market yet.

So that means that after all those efforts, you haven't even tried yourself to create an app with the beta you have?
Absolutely true. I've purchased a few sequels over the years only to find somebody made the game in a different place with different people and turned my beloved franchise to crap.

I, like others, was disappointed in the ending for Mass Effect 3. This guy took the time to explain it very well:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MlatxLP-xs

Even with their "improvements" to the ending, it was still just choosing what color explosion you got.
While I agree with the conclusions of the other posters, I also think it is difficult for anyone to put themselves into the shoes of these people, traveling over, waiting for the opportunity. Pitches can go bad quickly. I think anyone knows the pitch that you enter well-prepared and in best spirits and you come out 10 minutes later and wonder what the hell just happened.

Anyway, I also think it's great that you posted this in this detail, since it also shows once more that the interview will give you VC type questions and not YC type (well-informed) questions. If you can't explain it to a VC who is not up to date with everyday tech changes, then you're not ready for YC.

Finally, you sum up the feelings nicely - that mix of a feeling for redemption and the highly illogical feeling of a need for 'revenge'. I have felt that and it is so much unlike my personality, that I was really startled by it. Put that negative energy into something positive, right now I think your first priority is to make a non-tech person understand what it is you're building.
we don't? probably because you got it backwards. The idea of attraction entails gravitation (and other forces that hold the ball up before the drop), which is the conclusion of a line of reasoning, that is a more detailed, generalized version of the observation "things fall when dropped". Sure, backtracking is a rather simple, if not the most simple approach, but for N=NP kind of problems, presumably, it is the only one and heuristics only change the order of the track, but never reduce complexity.

That's my layman opinion, that seems to agree with the etymology of reason. Reason > ... > Ratio ... Reor. Reor is latin for to think, or calculate. Arithmetic in its simplest form, addition in the unary system ie. arranging pebbles (= lt. calculus), counting knots, simply counting. Now backtracking is just enumeration and elimination of possibilities. Ratio itself means measure, and a measurement always entails statistical error (does heisenbergs uncertainty principle prove that?).
You may want to re-evaluate - this was widely reported last month:

I think you'll need to look at the other end of the spectrum to see an abundance of (wrong?) models of causality: Religion and Law.

There are no "confirmed" cases of anyone actually going to heaven or hell or purgatory (or whatever else), and yet many of us still conform to some arbitary ruleset in the hopes of eventually ending (or not ending) up in one of thoses places, because we have constructed some model of how doing this gets you into hell and doing that gets you into heaven.

Similarly, we have plenty of evidence on how companies spend huge effort on finding loopholes in tax laws in order to avoid taxes, and yet instead of simplyfing the ruleset (so that there are obviously no holes in it) we still opt for piling on more laws (so that there are no obvious holes in it) because we construct (faulty?) models of how those new rules will prevent further exploits.

You are right, it is stated here: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/HotSpot/Deconstructing...

I will update and rerun the benchmark some time. Unfortunately, storing a value in a static final field allows the VM to pre-determine the entire method call and to erase the invocation altogether. This makes it hard to measure the impact of the method call. It is also questionable if this is the desired measurement as reflection is normally used to delay a call site determination to runtime which could not be done using a MethodHandle in a static final field.

But really good catch! I will hava a look at it some time soon.

May I ask why we need to battle mortality?
People tend to forget our body's limitations and that all the extra years add to the end, not in the middle.
Not to mention the implications it might have on reproduction. People wont want to have children and slowly our numbers will decline.
Also this will bring up an issue depriving ourself's of new Isaac Newtons, Einsteins and all the other bright mind and great people who would have been born and now they aren't.
We always forget that strength lies in diversity.
And lastly, do we really want to give immortality to people who do not contribute anything to our society?
How do we determine who is worth the while to live for hundreds of years? And how will we convince the other parts of society that this is beneficial for all of us?
Too many questions on a human level which are ignored, or it looks like they are ignored...

Instead of spending all our time in the shadow of mortality why not we just step out in the light and enjoy life in its brief moment and make the most of it?

Don't get me wrong, I would like to live forever, but it might have greater risks for mankind then the benefits it holds.

That's because Metafilter doesn't have a comment system. It has a discussion system. The only way to "discuss" anything on Reddit/HN is to yell at each other from your respective soapboxes. In my experience, linear discussion — being far closer to in-person conversation — can lead to more interesting places and actually has the ability to change hearts and minds.

The only places online where I feel a strong sense of community exclusively have linear discussion.
