Apparently YC has over a dozen active partners. They don't coordinate tightly. They compete against each other for investments and often overlap verticals.

That's why you see 2, 4, or more redundant investments in the same space from YC. It's a mess but not uncommon.



An excellent article. Shared this with my family to help convey the craziness that's happening.

Definitely the most impressive level of growth happening at any startup today. I'm curious to see where things head in the future!


Compared to what? It's easily the best Internet cable TV product on the market IMHO.


It’s an odd “in between” between classic TV and YouTube itself.

If you want to watch “the most likely thing you would want to watch” (NFL, Olympics main feed), YouTubeTV is great.

But as soon as you want to find something off the top few recommendations, it gets much harder. Compare that to regular TV, when I could just remember 27 is Discovery Channel and get there instantly.


The answer is pretty obvious. They don't want people remembering the content producers. Same reason they've worked so hard to kill the subscription feed on YouTube. They want you to rely on their recommendation engine.


It worked great on an ipad but on a TV app I had to go click, click, click, click 40 times to get to the channel I wanted.


My 2 year old Pixel 7 is working great, I've experienced none of these problems. That's frustrating.


I'm using a Pixel 4a, it does everything I need well. I upgraded from the Pixel 2 only when it started malfunctioning. I plan to buy a newer pixel when I can no longer use this one, but I'm concerned they're not being made to last through a few of Google's frequent release cycles. Seems to be a problem with most manufacturers. I just want something durable and stable


The Pixel 7 fixed those two problems, but it's still pretty weak compared to phones in its price range.


7 years.


FYI: This article is over 1 year old.


Can you buy a yacht for $128k? Maybe a very old one. Not sure about the European boat market.


128k is a pretty expensive one. I've done week long holidays on much cheaper boats.

The cost of boats is more in maintenance and storage, which tends to be 10-20% of the price of the boat per year.



It's a 39 foot sailboat


Yacht can just mean 40 foot boat


Technically, anything over 26 feet can be a yacht.


TIL 'technically' is the new 'ackshelly'


It wasn't meant in that way, as the definition includes parent's 40ft example.

Having said that, I now can't find a source that 26ft is the cutoff. I'll retract the statement pending source.


"Paris" wanted this. They went through a lengthy and arduous application procedure to be considered as a host city.


No, it's mostly a move from Macron who which he could host the Olympics on his second term, for glory. Hidalgo mostly though about the long-term positive implication for the city of Paris, something nice to put on her CV and the money that came along the responsibility.

French population and Parisians didn't have a word about it.


This is, of course, nonsense.

The Paris bid was submitted in 2015, and remained the only one in 2017 (a few cities pulled out in 2016-2017, the last one in February 2017), getting officially ratified in September 2017.

Macron was elected in May 2017, two years after the Parisian bid was submitted, and months after it remained the only one.


Completely false. Macron had been plotting this since he was in kindergarten.



Fair use is not granted by a social contract, as he hopes. It's granted by courts. Suleyman's interpretation is the most self-serving possible opinion of the circumstances.

As Joshua Topolski put it, "Only someone utterly divorced from creation and completely insulated in a bubble of entitlement would have such a distorted view of other people's work like this" [0]
