Yes, because revealed preferences are different. Meta's properties (for example) have billions of users for a reason (me included). Some people are prone to feeling bad irrespective of social media. One can also espouse the same view a

I think you should talk to some real life teenagers to see how hysterical this impression is.

This is a manufactured impression by people who don’t understand these systems and the reality around them. Yes I would have played video games all day as a kid but I had a functional family and friends to engage with. It’s true that if you

It’s not mutually exclusive. If you interact with kids today you’ll see that they do both, just like I did with video games and in-person meeting. They’re still human beings.

I agree about being outsiders. Social media (if this is even a well-defined term) is just how people communicate these days. No need for hysteria and banning (I was on Slashdot in the 90s. Was that not social media?). I think it’s as ignora

Socialising. Same benefit I drew from playing video games with my friends when I was in school. (Though, to be a bit pedantic about it, kids don't use Facebook.)

I know many parents who manage this fine, I don't see why you can't: 1. You control whether your child has a phone and how much they are allowed to use it (Apple provides all sorts of controls for parents). 2. Every child in the s

Does it generate native apps, or just Electron?

That's how the world works. No country produces everything.

No. It's a similar situation with certain AI features from Google.

I also found this to be a fun read! Was intending to skim but ended up reading the whole thing. The level of care shines through - nice work.

No, there is a difference. Burglary involves coercion. The choice to shop at small/big bakeries is yours alone; no one is forcing you to pick one.

This is a common rite of passage for early-stage startups :) The answer may sound glib but I don't mean it as such: don't have an unlimited plan and migrate existing customers off it.

At the end of the day it's just a VC's view. This doesn't count for much. You two can easily tell him no thanks and move on.

Some arguments here from a bygone era (none are convincing to me): https://hbr.org/2016/02/the-very-first-mistake-most-startup-... . We have the same model as you at the company I co-founded. The only valid worry t

At least amongst Bay Area startups at your stage, a 50/50 split is common. It has its advocates (YC amongst them) and detractors. Given how common this is, it's peculiar that this VC is bringing this up so early in the lifetime of

Sorry, my fault for being unclear. Meaning, sometimes people set up one-way syncs only. Our syncs don't have to be two-way.

That's no problem for us. We'll just resume where we left off when it comes back on.

(Polytomic co-founder) Haha! I’ve been in this market for over ten years now. The term ‘CDP’ is notoriously ill-defined. More generally, we move data in all directions, rETL is just one part amongst many others.

Each integration is supported as both a source and a destination. So you can have two one-way syncs set up between systems A and B, thus moving data in two directions.

(Polytomic co-founder here) Each sync in Polytomic is one-way so we're not forced to deal with collisions all the time. But you can, on a per-field basis within a sync config, declare that field not to be synced if the destination syst

We're talking about system-to-system pulls and pushes. For example, maybe your product needs to process data from your customers' sales and customer support systems. In that case you can have automatic updates show up in Postgres
