Ah!

But this will correlate one file to that person and will not be able to correlate multiple file requests that they all belong to the exact same person.

Which unique id? I thought the point of sending it via Signal was to not include any user id or any other id.

We do not always search for exact phrase so the text might not convey the emotion..

> The GIPHY service could use subtleties like TLS session resume or cache hits to try to correlate multiple requests as having come from the same client, even if they don't know the origin.

How would a cache hit mean same user tried to search? TLS session resume, I can understand but cache hit only means same resource was accessed not same user tried to access.

What I meant was Drew had applied with dropbox saying he would exit if someone paid 10M. But current YC seems to be to big for that kind of exit target.

> You've always got to put your best foot forward.

early stage startups can be very delusional about how big they can become on either side of the scale (drew quoting very less and some other startup quoting billion dollars). So, its not really up to the startup to predict how big they can become, it all depends on the interviewer. Nothing to do here for the startup i guess.

> What makes people get out the checkbook is how big you can become.

Drew said 1M. So, its not that necessary to over sell than what you believe, is it? Maybe now it is as YC has become a giant corp?

Where is the YC of 2007 which created more value per startup than current YC (maybe i am wrong about the value per startup part but it doesn't look like, also it makes sense for YC to care about overall value than per startup value to create more impact just like big companies.. maybe ripe for disruption in few years)

Like Powow http://powow.info/ (also based in Netherlands)?

There is a Twitter Bot[1] which does this too: https://twitter.com/neuralpainter

You need to tweet a photo to this handle and it replies with painting.

Unrelated, the event ids are simple numbers, the one which invites for demo day is: https://apply.ycombinator.com/events/49

> costumers

interesting, never saw this kind of typo before, since those two letters are quite far off..

I don't know what the trigger was but I was thinking of posting something on this line couple of hours back before this whole thing started. Weird coincidence but I can show you history of my github searches for 1-2 hours back.

Maybe they publish the report as early as possible and the "fix" is not in place yet?

> The Business Insider reports, some countries and regions have completely banned the service, finding it illegal under national or state laws. These places include Japan, Thailand, Nevada in the United States and Karnataka in India.

Not in Karnataka, India - I and everyone uses it everyday.

OS is supposed to be android and the browser is like safari? What!

There was an article some time back saying CEOs are basically psychopaths, then this software should not work that well.

Yes but how would general public know about it? Its strange that whole of the web has moved so far with the https and yet apps have no such way of knowing.

Everyone uses Yahoo finance and watches yahoo stock go down, what irony.

It was a friday, so a joke!

Pinterest?

Design is only a part of the experience, most of the value comes from usefulness.

Why is this even a surprise, people have been participating in AI challenges for long time (like these : http://ants.aichallenge.org/ ) and are well aware that those are hard problems, they develop heuristics since its not computationally possible to obtain perfect solution.

Pure guess: its beautiful? (in case its about the place in India)

Initially, I had seen people opposing on just that fact "they are misleading people by calling it internet.org", most of them.

I don't agree. (Can't down vote, too less karma)

> philanthropist Bill Gates pointing out there are more important problems to solve in the developing world before connectivity.

Perhaps 'connectivity' is what Mark Zuckerberg is good at solving. We all should be doing things we are good at if its not harming anyone. At this moment people just have theories that internet.org might not be a good thing. People can be wrong, only time will tell.

The slider doesn't seem to allow going forward in time?

with the scribble "but it took decades for me to realize why it obviously works" somewhere in the margins and stating that there wasn't enough room to write that down though..

> a 12,701 character regex for divisibility by 7:

I wonder if that's the optimal regex or can be reduced further using some rules[1] like the ones which we(humans) generally use to do it manually.

> Are their disaster kits in India?

The ones in disaster haven't heard the term yet..

fuzzy lop seems to be quite handy since recently I saw a post here when they found 10s of bugs in ffmpeg.

Food tech (if I may say so) is really facing the heat now.

On the other hand what piques my interest is the way VCs behave in India. Instead of carrying an insight they tend to "follow" the "trend" which by definition is not an optimal thing to do.

In just few months time they have gone from investing in all possible weird food startup to taking money away from even the promising ones.

The nature of VCs is very fickle, at least in India.
