I just started investing full time, writing about it here: https://write.kirigin.com

I just left Lyft, which acquired YesGraph, my second startup in YC W15.

That was my second time through YC, after Tipjoy in YC W08. Then came Facebook and early Dropbox.

What is the emblem on the flag? Don't know. What is he fighting for? Don't know. How is he blind? What doesn't he see? What is behind or ahead? Don't know.

Being cynical that all effort is wasted is played out at this point. Fight for something real. Name what you're against. It should be easy in the UK.

Shocking they didn't have a printed book for a control, in addition to a digital reader.

Why aren’t there tech startup immigration sanctuary cities? We have local authorities not working with the feds for referring criminals to ICE. Could you have the same for software engineers?

$20/ton CO2 for 1T tons is $20T. Paid over 40 years, this is less than the interest we in the US pay on federal debt.

This makes me want to go back to school and major in aero/astro engineering.

I want a perfect simulation of our world - that then gets a zombie infection.

I want my street, my house, and general geography to matter in the game. Where is the hardware store? Army bases? Water?

The game starts with a limited infection, making police response to your murdering an infected neighbor problematic. The simulation models how agents would respond.

You win by killing all the zombies, whether that's year 1 or 10. If needed, that's 7 billion.

The exhaust could be a good city simulator, zombies off, which you sell to local governments.

If the drones localize, you can get a constantly updating position over radio. Even with other tools, this will help disambiguate.

There are a few different parts here from robotics that can help.

  - Tracking allows you find a how a patch of pixels move. Look up "klt" and "SIFT features". Older
  - Recognition allows you to find a given object. Look up "yolo". Newer
  - Motion modeling allows you to predict where something should be, and can include the transponder ego data. Look up "kalman filter" 
  - All three of the above should be available in existing libraries
  - If possible, engineer the environment, like putting easy to spot LED patterns on the drones. This is always the easiest

I don't understand why more "unfilmable" books don't get launched as an animated series. Maybe execs think adults wouldn't watch it?
