As someone else mentioned just looking Fund+Number doesn't exclude non-VC funds. However, the 2024 NVCA report supports the OP's thesis: see page 17: https://nvca.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05&#x2F

The only reason I'm not downloading it is because 3 days not enough for me to evaluate it and I don't really want to have to add another reminder to cancel yet another subscription.

Yes, a safe mode would be great. I think it's a "nice to have" for a lot of early adopter (type of people who read HN), but it will be a "must have" more corporate types (a much bigger market).

Agreed. However, I think you're being overly charitable in calling it a "pet peeve", it's more like a pathological misunderstanding of stats that leads to a lot of bad outcomes especially in popular wellness media. As a

I support full legalization of cannabis and I agree that those are valid concerns. Yes, the harm done to addicts will probably increase. There's always trade offs. I think people on the pro-legalization side are not doing enough to a

This pretty much sums it up. There's about ten other things that are self-evidently more important in a job search than this.

Just chiming in to confirm this anecdote - the only difference is that the machine I gave my partner was a macbook air, not pro. Still works fine for almost all normal person use cases.

Agreed. But I think you're referring to "AI innovation" and the author (and others) are referring to "AI product innovation," i.e. how AI is actually showing up in people's everyday life - and that pace is abs

Yes please, this is a legitimate course of government action. I personally am very reluctant to sign up for new subscription from smaller companies because I don't want the hassle of unsubscribing. Tough-to-cancel subscriptions actual

I agree with your basic idea, but I don't think there's really any way around this - at some point these systems will have to be tested in a real world environment. I guess the question is: how much higher should the bar be set?

Yes, of course, anyone with a decent imagination can do so. Unfortunately, that has little practical impact. I can construct a lot of scenarios where I build an amazing startup and become a billionaire seemingly overnight. Tragically, my ba

Well, there's a lot to comment on here, I'll address just your last sentence. If you owned a deli or corner-store would you be willing to hire someone with criminal record? Would you be willing to hire someone who doesn't hav

Hmmm. Two issues stand out for me. 1. If I'm understanding this correctly, it seems like the active control (stretching) performed worse than the so-called passive control (watching a "popular sitcom"). The Cohen's d f

What is BizOps? I noticed a lot of the non-technical roles here have that title. I've read wildly varying definitions ranging from Strategy to KPI management and data analytics, has the industry settled on a relatively consistent def

That's not a fair comparison. Lotteries and casinos are recognized as a form of entertainment - gambling - people may not behave rationally and they may end up ruining their lives, but there is a certain folk wisdom that gambling just

Despite being an avid supporter of UBI, I had to downvote your comment for the "stfu" part. I have noticed an unfortunate tendency towards fanaticism on the part of many UBI advocates. This fanaticism does not do the cause of UBI

There are plenty of theories that justify collateral damage in war. There are even theories that justify war crimes (e.g. have to break a few eggs to make an omelette). The main difference here is between state actors and non-state actors.

Haven't read this, but I am a little suspicious already - I am pretty sure I have read theories of just riots - but maybe they're just not produced and published in mainstream academia. Such theories will most likely be produced b

Sure. https://www.google.com/search?q=mlk+thoughts+on+riots I am assuming your comment was in good faith, although it's odd for an HN user to ask a question that could be answered by a simple google search. I also note

Well, the majority of the country doesn't live in a place where starter homes cost more than $1M, so that changes things pretty dramatically. Why don't you move?

There's an excess of funding for software development. Companies have to find ways to deploy the massive engineering/product budgets that they built up in the initial development stages. Very few companies want to lay off engineer

Thanks for the clarification, but is there any public resource I can point people to in order to confirm the difference between Cruise and Waymo permits? I believe you, but skeptics won't be persuaded by "the founder said so on HN

This path makes a lot of sense to me - I'm curious though - why do you think more people don't pursue these certs early on in life?

Question: Is there any strong evidence (e.g. meta-analyses) indicating that multi-day meditation retreats produce consistently positive effect over and above a regular daily practice (e.g. 30-60 minutes per day)?

by tryitnow 6y ago
Yes, you're right. In fact the founders practically say as much in their Launch HN post. I'm assuming the reddit post is by someone who is just really unfamiliar with YC and modern tech entrepreneurship. Hopefully, their question

What's the pricing model? There's a lot of potential here.

That's the problem I have with nuclear, it's not the technology, it's that our species is not necessarily well-suited to managing the risks associated with nuclear (with some exceptions, maybe France?).

Those items just address the carbon issue (and 2.6% is still quite a bit), they don't address the issue of the massive land footprint that livestock requires. Where's the evidence that meat provides far more nutritional value than

The increase is not as dramatic as this chart makes it out to be. It's more on the order of ~25%, not 300%+. This is largely a function of a re-categorization of certain types of accounts: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org&#x

I don't use Clubhouse, but I'm curious - is there a way for you to flag "Millionaire Secrets" as a poor recommendation? Something like a thumbs up/down? If so, maybe it's just a matter of time before those rec
