Interesting title. Obv not implying that YC is the biggest waste of time.

With data going forward? or past data? Because I don't agree with using my past data... (kinda of rhetorical as I long deleted my accounts, though I'm sure the data is still there)

213-954-8607

Random number, legit area code. Unless you are looking for all 10 digits, pretty easy social hack

As a YC alum, of all the emails i get spammed with, I'll give YC founders are read and a reply. More often than not it's a "sorry can't help" but I will at least give it a look.

Depending on the length of the stay and whether you need a car, I'd do the road trip in a heartbeat.

I read it more as CTO was protecting the engineers.

maybe i'm getting old, but I don't see VR ever being more than a niche play thing. Humans will continue to want real world interactions, not just put on a headset and live in vr. Facebook, et al, worked because they were highly accessible. Having to put on a headset? No thanks.

New comment by outericky in "Show HN: I am building a free version of Strava"

Ah, cool. I was not aware they added that. I've been using MGG... Though I will say mine is better as you can set milestones, create groups of gear, add multiple to a ride...etc.

For example, in Strava I can add a bike and it's components. In MGG I can add a hashtag rule (say #road or #mtb) and MGG will add whatever components to that ride. Be it a HRM, helmet, tire, chain, bike etc.

Lastly - MGG will support this for any activity, not just cycling. Like when I run I use different shoes for trail vs road. And again, maybe HRM or running pack too. I like to track everything I use to measure ROI and durability.

Anyway... been a paying Strava user since 2013, glad to see they are adding stuff still.

I use butter. no more than a a couple millimeters slice from a stick for 2 eggs. no stick. warm the pan to a low heat. cook eggs on lower heat (should be doing that anyway regardless of pan)

I started a https://www.mygeargarage.com

Initially it was for tracking all sorts of gear you use in your activities (because strava only tracks bike or shoes). I then added workouts, and challenges (but then strava added custom challenges...).

My workout component allows you to share the url with friends and they can RSVP, you can add the route and stuff. But I don't have a ton of social features, mainly because I built this for myself and somehow organically it has grown to a few hundred users. I'm not really looking to grow it... but it does everything I need and others seem to find it useful...

I am the same. Introvert, but prefer to work around people. When we started SimpleLegal, for 2 years we were just working from home. I ended up getting a desk at a coworking space just to be around other people. If for no other reason than to commiserate with others.

Non primary is one thing - but perhaps the thing that needs to be gone after is commercial residential (as in, if you have more than x properties). Or commercial ownership of single family homes. There is a difference between owning a 10 unit apartment and owning 10 single family homes.

So don’t allow GET with query params. You want the static moniker? It has to be static. No server interaction after load, and no sending any data during load.

While i avoid using the tech monopolies; no way would I participate in a state run system.
