It's one thing to talk about empathy and another to actually have it or feel it. I am sure >80-90% people on HN don't have it only to a certain degree but they think the exact opposite of this.Also you have to take into conside

I agree. The reason people think ideas are "a dime a dozen" is because everyone overrates their ideas and you can't really measure the value of an idea unless it's executed. However, I must admit that after years of expe

A nuclear war would end us all. There are no winners in this scenario. If you think a country would stand a chance, you clearly do not know the nuclear capabilities of today. One thing I hate though is the "we are invincible, nr.1 etc&

Well yes, YC likes the "we met in college" and I see your point but it doesn't mean it's flawless. Stronger relationships? Yes, the only way? No. There is always a risk when it comes to startups. Just accepting that scen

And you believe the billionaires who dropped out of college were 100% they would become rich in the future? When it comes to startups there are no guarantees. Risk is high almost always, with some exceptions.

Well we wanted to build a similar project maybe more complex a few years ago and we tested some standard drones and some custom made ones for it and then we wanted to launch a service like this. We did some research about it and there weren

Maybe the official world's first drone delivery. We tested this service years ago but unfortunately the FCC regulations stopped us. So the question "are we innovative enough to follow?" is somehow exaggerated. We could'v

Yes, it's true but you need discipline also. Hit me up. I'll be happy to give you some tips about all these.

I agree but we are talking about cofounders.Maybe I missed a new message from yesterday.

I agree with the risk associated with people you barely know but IF you are smart enough you'll pick someone who is less likely to fail in your team.That is of course another very rare set of skills, to know what to pick and how, but w

Why are we acting as single founders are single forever?It's like, once you enter YC as a single founder you cannot hire anyone else to aid you in your startup, being forever alone. We both know quality developers would LOVE working fo

I'm not gonna go on the conspiracy road but the world is functioning on the wrong parameters. Instead of being a united civilization and help each other in order to advance to a higher level, we are fighting each other like lions for s

Good start but you should include an email for others to see. Good luck.

If you are searching for an experienced entrepreneur (not a good idea - see above post) you cannot expect to pay him a 2K pre-tax salary. As far as I know, an immigrant gets almost the same amount for low-level jobs. If you substract the li

Try to get some "fresh blood" instead of a super-extra experienced entrepreneur. You'll find out it's easier to work with and will probably be extra motivated to learn and get things done. And no, I am not talking about

Maybe I'm wrong but you can't beat free...Besides, since FB is worth 112$ billion, it means it works. I don't think people care about privacy enough to pay a subscription. And don't think those websites are bulletproof.

Is it your idea?You just said you "see them using..." Anyway, to validate an idea for the US Market, you need an MVP and a promising team if you want to go for Y Combinator. Yet, a team full of internationals would have a low chan

I must ask..What do you do for a living?I mean, in all honesty, you look like a gardener trying to build a spaceship. You have no idea what you're doing.If it was a contest how come you paid for the package?

I like innovation but Google is getting too powerful and I don't want to see an Umbrella Corporation in the next 20 years.

This is child's play compared to the information they will gather from Google Glasses...Imagine what they could do with that...

Am I the only one who sees a tech-war coming in the next 10 years?I always suspected that as new tech arises the chances of seeing a war rises too.

As far as I know there is a stealth startup doing this already. One of my friends is involved in it.So if you want some advice I could ask him to talk to you depending on what you want to find out. Security is a big issue here of course.

I agree with you in some points.What I was trying to say is, we should stop the thinking that we, as technical people, have the best ideas and the best thinking and we are the ultimate SELECTORS when it comes to building a team and creating

"I have drawers full of those kinds of ideas I could build, I don't need an idea person for that." "I could do myself with a trivial effort" This is ridiculous, you know that?I'm a programmer too but I can't say I have a drawer full of supe

IF you are willing to learn, I might know someone that can help you.But he doesn't work with everyone.He is definitely one of the best there is.Email me and I'll see what I can do.No promises.Thanks.
