It's like getting a HBS MBA. Sure, once you have it, it's easy social proof.

YC gives up equity. If you don't have any prior experience, it's good, but not for experienced enterprise founders in b2b saas startups. The latter should make demo videos and blog about their progress once they've exited stealth. While in stealth, they need to approach alpha/beta users, who may well invest and/or m&a.

Spaghetti: wall / money: bonfire; occasionally: winning lotto ticket makes the IRR for the fund/angel.

Don't throw out the winning lotto ticket. Oh well. ;-)

Would the mortality rate of prescribing warfarin prophylactically to middle-aged women for 3.5 weeks be less than 4 / million?

What's the mortality rate of seasonal flu and MMRV vaccines?

/s woosh. LOL. ;-)

It's called tenement housing, in any case. Split the living room in half and rent the large walk-in closet, now a 2 bedroom is magically a 5 bedroom like an airline employee crashpad. :)

Some friends of mine were thinking about renting out an entire warehouse and constructing illegal residential tenement "apartments" in them.

Sorry, but you're spouting nonsense without knowing the facts.

In the US alone, there are over 17 million vacant residential properties. Average un-occupancy rates for urban areas run 10%. That is more than plenty to house every homeless and very poor person.

There ought to be massive taxes on urban vacation, vacant housing, and entirely airbnb properties to encourage utilization by those who require housing rather than being hoarded/exploited by those who use them for recreational/investment purposes.

And iceberg mansions. The neighbors really love those.

Hmm... I should turn my ATX apt into 4 "Parisian" studios then. Such underutilized space considering I have an almost vestigial "dining room" that has been used mostly as a dance floor and a gym area.

Lolwut. Who? Ne'er-do-wells, haters, or rent-seeking bastards?

(I'm in a 1400 sq ft / 130 m^2 2/2 apt in ATX.)

Urban sprawl is awful if there's only single-occupant vehicles, bad roads, and no reliable public transport anyone wants to use ... basically, you get Los Angeles. Terrible, crime-ridden, and horizontally dystopian.

12 floors is tiny if you're not used to it.

There's only ~75 buildings in Paris >6 floors because of the 37m height limit.

Cities either have to have faster transportation, build underground, build higher, or build out farther. Increasing costs by keeping transportation horrible or limiting supply for the rich squeezes money from the lowers and the middle classes.

Very fast transport from nearby satellite communities would be the most ideal solution because then locality doesn't matter as much to most people.

Post, physical NFTs that could keep homeless people from freezing to death.

If you're going to post a low-effort tweet, can you at least use spellcheck first?

Does anyone else have monofixation syndrome (MFS)? Apparently, my left eye doesn't participate in central vision, only peripheral vision.

When I used to moderately binge some moons ago, I could feel my heart rate was all over the place. And the hangovers the next day didn't feel great either. Redbull vodkas should be called "Deathwish."

This might be an unpopular opinion: I like the taste of some alcoholic beverages, but the slight impairment from just one and the risk of a hangover is too much. I'd rather drink club soda and lime than imbibe.
