Yeah, maybe this product/service can see whether Stripe would be able to accommodate a kind of free integration and use. Maybe consider restructuring to explicitly (ToS, tax filing) fit into Stripe's philanthropic arm


fwiw, You might enjoy what golang has to offer in a systems programming context. I think it's reliably offered it's users '95% right, 99% of the time' comprehensiveness for all kinds of contexts -- what with how I think even Dropbox might have switched over to Golang, from Rust, after conceding it's greater overall compatibility (I'd imagine) to their product's improvement + maintenance + growth/scale.


Dropbox is using both Go and Rust; they’ve haven’t switched away from either. They even use both together in some places.

Where did you get that idea?


Sleep over and party with the other tourists at the Fisherman's Wharf hostel; Wake up to the a calm, detached serenity within the city that gives the Marina district's urbsn calm refuge a run for it's money. Meet a stunning New Yorker. Sweep her off her feet, literally, and swaddle her to place of, more, our own. Watch her later disappear, her a sugar cube, into your teacup; meet another from Texas whose taken to your dumb, musical pining, there in the dining hall. Carry her too. Scale an apartment building to watch the stars and muse on how, maybe she should switch majors to math, maybe. These stars, never a spectacle for a Texan, but here lending to me a perfectly stunning, halcyon glow over the whole situation, after all this time royally without romance, a cliffside's breeze before a warm washing Pacific sunset. All at the Fisherman's Wharf hostel...


Funny thing. I met a beautiful woman from Melbourne, Australia there while watching seals. We spent the whole day together, she had tickets to the aquarium so we went and then I got her a clam chowder bread bowl for the first time. We Uber'd to Golden Gate Park and walked over the Haight and bar hopped. I got her a Moscow Mule (she never had one and now that's her new favorite drink) and we got real cozy. Her old friend from Australia who she is staying with met me and said we look good together and our meeting story is very romantic. She gave me a goodnight kiss after one more drink in Union Square at a swanky bar called Rye. I got on the last BART back to my friend's house with a heavy heart...I really wanted to spend the night with her but it was better if we didn't. She wanted to see me again and I wanted to see her again.

We hung out for a few hours today too. We met up in Chinatown around the Financial District in the Mission area where we laid out in the park and held hands while talking about life and work. She was cold so wore my alpaca sweater. After we ate some amazing Mexican food and then got to go up one of the tallest buildings in the city where one of her friends had an office. We had coffee up there and talked about the Bay Area while looking around at all the buildings in every direction! After that we got a tour of Golden Gate Bridge and the hills around it around sunset. We took some more pictures together. I got the three of us some burgers and I had to say goodbye one more time.

Tomorrow we are going to hang out ALL DAY and then go to Alcatraz the day after and then rent a car to camp together at Yosemite.

What. The. Fuck. She is gorgeous, a social worker. I notice a lot of people looking at us, girls especially. Guys checking her out and trying to talk to her, a female bartender at an Irish pub giving me props.

I got a lot more stories too but I'm a little stoned right now off some California weed and going to go to bed. Gotta catch the BART tomorrow from Pleasant Hill to meet her again. :)

I love this city.


Read Infinite Jest, whose author even confessed to it's consumptive (consuming?), ulterior-ness! What I'm trying to say, without actually answering you, is that you're joined by many other ambitious yet perennially TV-tortured people -- that you're not alone in your endeavors towards re-adjustment, and that it's mostly just as onerous and grating for Us to effect in our life these changes and developmental resolutions, as it is for You.


Sean Carroll's "Great Courses" production on the "Higgs Boson, and Beyond" [1] offers like 5 hours of what you'll likely gradually find to be a very accessible, informative and entertaining audio/aural chronology of the Higgs boson's conception; through its planning, and on through the LHC experiment, and finally past its discovery, into the current state of affairs regarding field theory. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUv1OJ2PE0s


A Rust parser? Is this for your own reviews or workflow? Or, is this intended to eventually handle transpiling and/or JIT Rust applications? Are you porting a CLI or graphics library to Rust, maybe -- or doing something to make working with Rust+WebAssembly less tedious?


They had likely listed it in error, and only noticed this as their operations couldn't register it.

Or so I'd think. Something about how the price was nil says they simply mis-administrated the record as they were e.g. rotating through staff, or life trying to re-list it at a new rate.


Did they interview or contact you, then reject you? What was it all like?


I did not get contact or interview. In light of the new information by the parent I can only assume that I was "sorted".


It was just his opinion, you never know the result until april 17.


I didn't apply for this session


there are solo founders in Y Combinator.


I was more concerned about company name/description


I think he means you could be sorted by your application before they watch the video. That definitely a possibility.


When you say, "forget about it", regarding trying going solo with an idea, do you say that because the only hope for a chance at bringing and keeping the idea at viability is to simultaneously have 5,000 USD , liquid -- and to be, yourself, or close friends/co-founders with some kind of technologies Wunderkind? Like, the only hope at getting capital while staying organized, focused and adaptive is to have a healthy savings to dispose of?

I'm hoping there's still hope that a motivated and disciplined individual, today, can strive towards what might as morally well be their American (read: capitalist) birthright. I think it was someone at YC who stripped my self-defeating default to dismissal of the idea of becoming a lower middle class American owner when they wrote, "Build something users love, and spend less than you make. How hard is that?"


I think the gRPC team/community has been fast at work on a Golang/Node/Java/Haskell + Docker RPC tool; maybe you'll find some insights at their 'grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway' or 'grpc/grpc-web' GitHub repo home pages -- for your API format. It might tie back nice and conveniently to Minikube and K8S -- if gRPC is compatible with Clojure (essentially Java?).
