It seems we are running up against the deadline, probably should have posted this sooner.

Advanced hindsight is 20/20

This seems amazing, but I should note that this program does take 7% equity.

[beambot → digitaltrees]

So does YC. (Relative merits left as exercise to reader.)

Looking at the domain name, is this somehow related to mailchimp.com?

[detaro → desdiv]

Pretty sure that's just the web-version of a newsletter sent via mailchimp - at least that's where I've seen that domain before.

[joekrill → desdiv]

I thought that was weird, too. But it looks like this is just the "web view" of an email newsletter they (Center for Advanced Hindsight) sent out. Website is here: http://advanced-hindsight.com/

This is best answered by clicking: https://mailchi.mp

The last date to apply is June 30 but we are in July 1st. Can we still go ahead and apply?

[joekrill → ganeshkrishnan]

In the US, and North Carolina specifically (where Duke University is located) it's still the 30th. So you're probably good. At least for another 3 hours (it's 2pm there now).

[yoaviram → ganeshkrishnan]

You can apply in hindsight.

[lhorie → ganeshkrishnan]

June 30 5:00pm EST, so yes you have about 3 hours

[joekrill → lhorie]

Strange that they specify EST... currently it's daylight savings time, so it should be EDT, shouldn't it?

[rpeden → joekrill]

It should be, but people often forget whether we're currently in standard or DST.

I usually just hedge my bets and write Eastern. :)

[benatkin → rpeden]

EST is shorter than Eastern and more easily recognizable than ET, which is a more heavily overloaded acronym. I'm sure it's used by people who are aware of the technical meaning and not forgetting. There's no quick and reliable way to refer to non-EDT EST during the non-daylight months without mentioning the absence of daylight savings time or specifying the UTC offset.
