Given the # of startups the YC program creates with every new batch, and proportionally the success of YC to all other types of startups, this seems more fair to say, though it does seem a bit hyperbolic.
my experience with shipping updates to the google chrome store is that you typically are waiting days if not weeks, depending on the time of year. 24 hours seems incredibly fast! hopefully it will get approved soon, good luck!
I figured I'd share my research by writing it up... except that toward the end of my research I found conflicting information. And I don't feel like researching more so I'm just going to post as is with pointers to the conflicts.
the wheel is the rubber-tire+metal-rim, the thing you take off when you get a flat tire.
It is mounted to the car/truck by bolting it onto the hub, which is the part of the truck you attach wheels to, the thing that contains the brakes. (and btw, let the rest of the internet know that these are not "breaks")
when you mount a wheel onto a hub, you have lug nuts holding it on. You might have noticed on a passenger car that the underside of the lug nuts have a sort of hemispherical shape such that screwing it on seats and centers the nut into a corresponding dish on the wheel. This (once all the lug nuts are seated) aligns the center of the wheel with the center of the hub. That's the stud-pilot system, the studs do the piloting (centering) also called with a brand name(?) Budd.
There is also a hub-pilot system, where the wheel is automatically centered on the hub because the hub is essentially conical. In this case the lug nuts just bolt on and don't participate in the piloting.
one type of Dayton wheels is another hub-piloting system, but with one big center screw instead a collection of lug nuts. You have seen these mostly on 1950's style sports cars with flashy wire-spoked wheels and that "flying wing" nut in the center holding the wheel on. https://www.daytonwheel.com/
But I guess that's just for cars, because there is another Dayton wheel for trucks. It is a large metal piece that is something like spokes, but just 5 or 6 big ones and the wheel gets bolted on to the tips of that "star" hub. You can look at the pictures here https://thecampingadvisor.com/dayton-wheels-vs-budd-wheels/
But you'll notice that they also have pictures of the wire spoke style dayton wheel.
I think that's just a crappy website, but I've put enough effort in. YMMV, literally :)
Streaming is extremely competitive, and may really only work best for a certain group according to the former CEO of Hulu:
"I believe there will be multiple business casualties in the paid streaming wars and a few (3) business victors. The companies that get to the other side of the river will earn 300 million global subscribers at an average of $15 of revenue per month between advertising + sub fees. The 3 companies that get to scale are each likely to generate $10B/yr in cash flow from their streaming services, far greater than what most entertainment companies have ever generated per year. For these precious few, the considerable streaming investment will be well worth it"
1) SBF cared about traditional rules of banking/finance
2) SBF cares about doing things the 'right way'
He may have been doing it purposefully wrong, or he may have just wanted to do it as fast as possible ("Move Fast and Break Things") and so he skipped the requesite steps to get to what he wanted done, faster.
Not a justification for his actions, but simply why he may have done it
but i don't know if everyone will have that same ability.
It almost feels like a 'home gym' vs a 'gym membership' scenario. Upfront cost for a home gym is quite expensive, whereas the gym membership is spent over time.
All-in you may spend a lot more on the gym membership, but because you eat it over time, it feels better to a certain population of people
I was curious how that works, so I clicked into the ouibounce repo and read the README. I still don't get how it works, but I enjoyed how they flirt with self awareness:
> it's very easy to create something spammy-looking.
...and then they list "good" uses that are... all spammy.
These actions can be used to infer possible intent to leave: scroll up (to reveal address bar on mobile), move mouse toward top of viewport (to move mouse toward address bar), swipe down (to reveal address bar on mobile), loss of UI focus, probably others.
I hate these patterns, and they are 100% appropriately described as dark. I and the other devs spent months at one place arguing with a PM about how janky and broken the third-party intent-to-leave detector they injected using Google Tag Manager without dev involvement made our app feel. (GTM was the product that convinced me Google gave up on not being evil)
Okay, so it's all indirect? I usually just ctrl-w, and beyond the browser native dialog that sites can use to ask if you want to confirm saving your work or something, I wasn't aware of any way to intercept that or do anything about it.
Left out of this post is a form or CTA that follows me on scroll, it doesn't make me feel like it's easier to find the form, it makes me feel like I'm being hounded to give my information.
And 30 minutes is a pretty short period to get a representative sample of a service used by billions for many different activities (messaging, video calls, hobby groups, marketplace). The 'feed' that you scroll through is definitely a mixed bag, but Facebook has added focus to more specific and niche apps over time.
For my family we use Facebook because it is cross platform (25 people, several with Android, most with iPhone, and some that like to use it by web), everyone already has an account (ages from 25 to 65), and the quality of the service is high and consistent for both messages and video calls. We frequently do a video call with all members of the family across many devices and 'it just works'.}
Also, meeting in person hasn't really been 'allowed' in almost a year. #covid19
i personally use my front facing webcam on my computer 10-20x per day (for video calls, or short quick video walkthroughs). my kids also are using their cheap school laptops front facing webcams 3-4x per day with remote school, and my wife and i frequently use facetime on our iphones to chat throughout the day. i'm not interested in add'l dedicated equipment, i'm interested in the easiest solution to perform the job i need done
for a walkthrough, why would i want to look at you the entire time, rather than whatever it is you're walking me through (for which a rear camera is much better positioned, with voice instructions)?
a rear camera would not be useful at all for an on-screen walkthrough as it would be facing a wall or a surface. my face on the other hand, added for a personal effect, to an on-screen recording or so you can easily match my voice and my mouth to better understand me. perhaps you haven't seen a face + full screen desktop walkthrough? https://www.getcloudapp.com/. very useful.
a facetime call with my wife does require video, because it's a facetime call. i want to see her.
my kids school remote calls do require video because their teachers require video on. they do this because kids from ages 6-18 may not actually be paying attention in class, so the hardware camera is used to help the teacher.
if you were to look on youtube for walkthroughs of products, or twitch streams, you'll frequently see front facing cameras added to videos because people do actually like, enjoy, and find value (you can follow along to voice/face/emotion) in them
