The article does mention a book in the Earthsea series (Lavinia), as a note EDIT: I was mistaken! It's not an Earthsea book; it was just mentioned in the same paragraph

It's ridiculous that the only original source of this data, the IATA [0], charges $700+ for this list, so kudos to OpenFlights. I can't stress just how important (and how hard) it is to get a great source of data for airports -- I

This. From my YC experience, I know that starting with a niche is good advice and advice they likely would have gotten. Looking at the Launch HN [1], I think the question should instead be "has YC lost it's way when its latest com

As much as I do feel COVID is a real threat and that the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally probably helped spread it somewhat, this paper (and even more so, the article) far overstates the case. Copying over some key points from the underlying paper
