Remember that this isn't an incubator, so a lot of them aren't making startups. For example, Dale Stephens is doing http://www.uncollege.org/ (Organization aimed at promoting lifelong learning through "bootcamps") and Laura Deming is doing http://longevity.vc/ (VC firm aimed at funding companies trying to solve aging)

I know of a couple of exits, but I'm not actually sure which are public so I'm trying to find articles.

Some of my favorite current projects are Charlie Stigler (http://www.zaption.com/), Dylan Field (http://figma.com/) <-- Look at TC coverage to see what they are making, and Clay Allsopp (http://usepropeller.com/)

Again, the Fellowship is not an accelerator, so judging it based off successful exits is a terrible criteria.

I hear typing gets a little slower when you're over 20 ;)

I find this post to be a little bit uninformative. Sam is making the argument that the most successful companies are those that bridge the physical and digital world and increase a human's efficiency to complete a task. The startups that do best are those that focus on this.

This seems like a bit of a trivial statement in my mind. Is this not what most startups are trying to do? Solving an inefficiency in the world.

Before the last five years, it has been difficult for PG's definition of startups to focus on the physical world, because of our discomfort with putting parts of our physical world online. Most successful startups up until now have helped build up an infrastructure that has allowed new startups to emerge that tackle physical problems.

I.E. Uber required Apple to develop the iPhone and a lot of startups rely on Heroku and Parse as a service.

I really enjoy Sam's writing, and I was excited for a post dealing with the advent of hardware startups with the success of 3D-printing. I didn't find this post to be up to par with some of his other posts.

It's just "man"

Welp. Brute-forced and got all the single-word answers, but some of the answers are multi-word.

We just got that last one but haven't been able to advance!

Uber wasn't YC

Edit: And thus can't use the official jobs board

Let's hope HN can help me with this. Trying to go through the puzzle and brute-forcing with a dictionary.

Hey Pradeep!

The only reason why I haven't published it internationally was because of language issues. Drop me a line at delian@nightingaleapp.com and I can figure out where it would be appropriate to publish.

JQM actually!

Hey guys,

My friend and I built this over the last couple of months and have been having a ton of fun testing this out with some elderly users! Feel free to drop us a line at founders@nightingaleapp.com

Thanks!

DocMunch looks awesome! Great job Max + team

There's actually a great company called Balbus Speech which develops mobile apps for speech therapy. I've watched someone go from being unable to speak to perfectly flowing English while using their solutions.

Thanks! Haha, the only reason I recognized it so quickly is because I use their tool so often.

It's really awesome and deserves a mentioned wherever used.

If only you could attribute your images properly. I can't find an attribution or mention of PlaceIt or Breezi anywhere.

Just poking around with the Android library, this is a huge step up from where the library was when I used the beta over the summer.

The native camera integration is a LOT cleaner now.

Aww... I don't understand why this got flagged.

As an MIT undergraduate, I will be there

Good ol' wlue. This is one of the few apps I continuously suggests to my friends.

I'm a lover of languages, but it can be really daunting to go to a new country, even though it's the best way to learn.

Mantaphrase breaks down that barrier.

As one of the partners of the team, I'm really excited to see this finally launch and help the Boston student entrepreneurs.

So legit. I'm taking Chinese right now and not only does this let you converse in a foreign language, but it can help you learn the characters for everday sayings along the way. Great design and I'm excited to see that it's launched!

A couple of speakers have already passed, for example Brett Van Zuiden from FilePicker.io

AND IT'S BACK :D

Neither the API nor the frontend site are working for me.

CTF challenge was Stripe. Not Square. Close enough though :)

Probably has nothing to do with Starbucks. Just bad timing with a company that needs a lot of 9s of uptime.

I think it's the perfect response to the Starbucks deal. It shows that Square is still keeping small businesses as their top priority.

This post shows off how engineers aren't the best at showing off their work. I think if the author abstracted this post and didn't dive so far into the technical aspects of the problem, it could appeal to a much wider audience.

For example, the discussion of nginx could be abstracted into a discussion of graph theory, where a handshake has to occur with a secure cluster of nodes.

This is all just IMHO. Great post though!
