Part of the social contract in most societies is that the police are the only members of society who can use enough force to kill or injure anyone critically. The governments of these societies create laws to ensure that it is only special well regulated instances when an ordinary citizen can use deadly force (hunting of lower animals and self defense being two examples in the United States). Anywhere these guns can be manufactured successfully thwarts the old laws and contracts.

This means that it will be a "Problem", but no one can say for who. The big gun manufactures are going to be pissed and are already probably already preparing legislation to bitch slap any one who tries to produce these guns. The liberator people are working on making the guns not explode and hurt anyone. The police are scrambling to figure out how to reclaim their sole ownership of force. The people are waiting to see what happens.

You obviously are not above average in terms of height. I'm 6'5" and planes are a nightmare of cramps and bruised knees. A single inch can mean the difference between being able to sleep comfortably on a long flight and staying awake while stiffening up for eight hours.

The author is is almost exactly the exact opposite of the ideal customer for any startup. He is a venture capitalist and an ad man. He is in the business of buying the startup instead of buying from the startup. He sees orders of magnitudes more startup websites in a month than a customer ever will in their lifetime. He will be looking far more closely at the advertising side of things than a customer and will probably over apply his expertise. Therefore, I don't think his advice will probably be all that useful to founders. Ad hominem is a logical fallacy, but a bayesian's crutch. You can logic it out for yourself, but I don't think this guy knows what he is talking about.

1. They might actually know what they are doing or 2. they aren't doing payments of the sort that needs this sort of license.

Probably because there are like a billion other things he has to do.

How does one go about signing up?

What are the chances that in the next month pg publishes an essay calling for why more startups should be doing hardware, bitcoin, and/or 3D printing?

And now this is a test of how secure HN is as well.

That was easily one of the best bits of video I've seen in a long time. That explains a lot of science really well. Thank you!

Would you pay money for it?

Or it could be that YC knows Mathematica and/or matlab are thinking about launching a cloud computing service. Mathematica definitely is and it will most likely ROFLstomp whatever these guys and other competitors are coming up with. Computer algebra systems and numerical analysis aren't just topics you can sprinkle with "Cloud" dust and have it come out right. Unless these guys have years of experience, YC probably made a prudent decision.

Cost of ticket would offset cheap housing probably. Any small midwest town would work and be much easier to reach.

Use bayesian logic first! They're yellow therefore they are likely electric type. Cast a rockslide spell first and see if you get type damage.
