Startups are hard, and I should not have been so critical.

Everything looks bad and impossible before product market fit. How did you know you could not pivot? Did YC agree with you that this was the best decision? I'm really curious as to how that conversation went.

Wow. In the footnote they mention they shut down right after demo day? Perhaps I'm old school but I always had a huge feeling of indebtedness to my investors.

So here they lose all the money within 3 months and write a scathing review to boot?

Is it not a two way street?

Why does the article do a head to head comparison between the new battery and a "generic" Lithium battery.. and then later we see the specs of the Tesla battery and it is just about identical with the new battery.. but you know.. more energy dense and in production. The differences seem to be more in the rounding range. Sure.. twice the milage.. but show me a car where this matters past 500k. Always clickbait.. Now compare this to some Tesla battery still in R&D...

Pilot here (just private): Alarm seem to indicate that the autopilot was not disengaged till much later. The question is why?

Left turn may just be because of interference of the localizer.. which the autopilot was following.

With the autopilot on.. you have a fight on your hands until it disengages. (like in your Tesla :)

Just checked. I too have a Google Pay account. (with zero activity). I never signed up for it. I never used it. I'm simply a google customer (email, youtube). You may argue that this is a unified payment service but none of these payments show up in google pay. So youtube does not use google pay to pay for it. It means that google pay just got the data from my account and get setup automatically. Google sucks. So if I had an Android phone would it be active now without my knowledge?

No one seems to mention that Chrome keeps spinning on the HTML load as well and eventually kills the image. This means the webpage itself is broken and fails to work. Not just the download. Soo.. this just does not work for anything..

Would love the hear some App Ideas! News, maps, Geo-Tweets..

It would be great if VCs created funds / departments to fight trolls attacking their portfolio. I understand that there are many issues with this model. But it might just work. Especially for accelerators like YC. I think word would get around quickly to "not touch YC companies" and the expense would go to zero. It would also be easy for YC to decide what is a troll and what is legit.

This is cool. I will dig in deeper and take a look. I'm working on a spherical display.. so maps with fast zoom will be a must.
