   I am building GradPilot (www.gradpilot.com) to help students with their graduate school application essays. We believe that AI can help many students review their own college applications, especially students who don't have access to c

   At first glance this sounds like genius but its not YC or any successful VC doesn't fund ideas. There is something else the founders have figured out which is key to success and funding. This could be a distribution trick, a key insigh

    Do some people have specific ideas or visions of what this could turn out to be? I've tried to play this out in my head but wasn't able to arrive at any new paradigms but then again I've only scratched the surface of plan 9 g

    Your site is rad. Here's my idea: P2P grid compute + storage that is actually cheap and can drive down the cost of computation significantly. Can be achieved with unikernels, homomorphic encryption, ipfs. There's a lot of compute

    gotcha, thanks makes sense now. > Q: Do you store my card? > A: We do not store your credit card information. Payments are processed directly by Stripe, and we don't store your card details. Thats exactly what we mean

    I do think deleting cloud resources is a valid use case in many Eng teams and directly co-relates to a lower cloud bill. Engineers are frequently building POC's, test machines or just deploying quickly to have idle/underutilized r
