Subject: Your Y Combinator Application

Thank you for applying to Y Combinator; however, your startup was not selected to interview for the upcoming Y Combinator batch. We carefully reviewed thousands of applications and since there's a limit on the number of startups we can interview in person, we had to turn away a lot of promising groups. It's alarming how often the last group to make it over the interview threshold ends up getting accepted to YC. That means there are surely other good groups that fall just below the threshold. Furthermore, a much smaller percentage of late applications are invited for interviews.

Unfortunately we can't give you individual feedback about your application. This page explains why: http://ycombinator.com/whynot/

We sincerely hope and encourage you to reapply for the next batch. Applying multiple times in no way counts against you and a surprisingly large number of companies are funded after applying more than once.

We're trying to get better at this, but it's practically certain that groups we rejected will go on to create successful startups. If you do, we'd appreciate it if you'd send us an email telling us about it; we want to learn from our mistakes.

good info.

Rofl.

All we need now is some type of multi-person tragedy with proof that it could've/would've been prevented if the government ONLY had the same level of access as before.

That would just be too perfect...

I wish there was an auto summation tool or keywords of major topics for every link. I wonder how many good articles are closed immediately after they're opened simply because of the word count.

Back on topic, do they actually print copies of the translated version in China? It would be mighty ironic if that is the case.

This is huge. People don't understand how close we are to the 'point of no return' in regards to fish species and the ocean's ability to sustain life.

Asian countries are a key source of that problem. Guess which one...

Which debuted with Operation Sky Pebbles. Treat this as a military declassification.

Why!? "Banksy's Everything but the Kitchen Sphinx in Queens was dismantled and removed by the owner of an auto-glass shop. (Shannon Stapleton/Reuters)"

Is anyone actively trying to save these for a personal collection?

It depends if you're trying to maximize top speed. For racing applications, the hull's re-entry (whether nose first or transom first) greatly affects running speed. For catamarans and v-bottom boats alike, a flat water re-entry is the fastest.

Gyroscope stabilized boats exist. "Seakeeper is the world leader in active stabilization for the marine industry Now available for boats 30’ and above." $30k for their smallest unit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNJ88mBusbE

Jon Oringer, the CEO/founder of Shutterstock, mentioned that the industry is badly in need of "a way to automatically choose visually pleasing photos according to exposure, contrast, shadows, and objects to choose a handful of photos worthy of publishing."

Tried looking for the article but couldn't. Definitely B2B type of product.

Very cool! I've been interested in this area for quite some time. Here's one guy to built a hedge fund around the quantification of investor sentiment using online data (http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-02/money-minded-h...)

"MarketPsych ran an audited hedge fund (MarketPsy Long-Short Fund LP) from 2008 through 2010, which beat the S&P benchmark by 25% during its lifetime."
