Deadline to apply to @ycombinator is Tuesday

If you’d like feedback on your app, I have a few hours this morning 👉🏼 ryan@weekend.fund ☀️
I know several founders that are anxiously waiting to hear from YC. Invites and rejections go out today.
I'm carving out a few hours next week to do practice interviews with those invited to @ycombinator

If interested, email ryan@weekend.fund 😊
Fun to see these follow-ups 🙏🏼
Another one
Opening a few hours over the weekend to do mock YC interviews for those interested. Drop me a note at ryan@weekend.fund. 😊
💡 YC interview tips inspired by some of the mock interviews I’ve been doing this week...
1. Teach the interviewer something new. Doing so makes you more memorable and instills confidence.
2. Avoid words like “try”, “think”, and “might”. You don’t need to know everything but have conviction in your ideas and strategy.
3. Have a thoughtful answer for “Why do you want to join YC?” The more specific and intentional, the better.

Shower thoughts 🚿 on synchronous participatory media, inspired by an afternoon playing Super Smash Bros...
Media is often more enjoyable when experienced with friends or likeminded people.

E.g. Rarely do people go to the theater or a concert alone.
Media is social lubrication, a vehicle to bring friends and likeminded people together. It gives people something to talk about and a sense of belonging.

1/I used to think titles and organizational hierarchy in a small startup was a bad thing.

I was mistaken.
2/There’s a reason why most companies have an org chart and management.

Some people believe these structures restrict autonomy and breed internal politics.
3/When done right, structure has the opposite affect, empowering and motivating people to do their best work.

1/Once a month, @Damjanski sends me an email about his newest project.

They’re always weird. 😳
2/He created a CAPTCHA that only robots can read: producthunt.com/posts/humans-n…
3/Last month he quietly launched an unofficial AR takeover of SF’s MoMA gallery: producthunt.com/posts/momar

Anxiously waiting for 2019 dressed in my pajamas because I have the energy of a 94-year-old lady
Actually, I met a 94-year-old lady who has way more energy than I have
But I do have the energy to work on my Ellis Island series, which is almost finished (kinda) and will be published within the next few days ;)

Morning campers! I’ll be live-tweeting from the European Court of Justice today about @Google’s “Right to be Forgotten” hearing.

What’s the main point? Should Europe (or France’s #privacy regulator) be able to apply its rules over the internet worldwide.

A recap:
La Vanguardia, a Spanish newspaper, published records in the late 1990s detailing the debt delinquencies of Mario Costeja.

About a decade later, Costeja sued, saying that the publication breached his right to privacy.
After a lengthy legal dispute, the case was referred to the ECJ which, in 2014, ruled that individuals had the right to ask that search engines like @Google remove links (but not the underlying webpages) from search results

1/ Some streaming observations from #YCombinator #DemoDay 2018
2/ Better diversity of founders, but not funders 🤦🏻‍♀️
3/ Even more so than in previous years - startups serving a global market 🌍

1. I happened to listen to @NPR for a few hours this morning, and I heard three stories that are very much connected to #climatechange without anyone on the radio mentioning climate change even once.

It was surreal and disturbing.

[thread]
2. The first story was about the current drought in Oregon. It focused on a rancher who is currently paying to have 18,000 gallons of water a day trucked in to water his livestock. (Yes, you read that right.)
3. The story discussed how much this water and its transport was costing the rancher; how long this drought has affected ranching in the West; and what the ranchers might do if the weather doesn't eventually return to normal (as if it would one day return to normal).

Let me show u how the CBI has been used as a puppet of the Modi govt in the #Ryan #PradyumnMurderCase only and only to divert the media from the debates of #DeMoDisaster . #thread :
1. The CBI has NO evidence that the 11th std boy went into the toilet before the murder of #Pradyumn. They base their case on the "fact" that the 11th grade boy saw the body & told the school staff about it . N
2. With no evidence to show the 11th grade boy was in the toilet before #Pradyumn came , the case by the CBI rests on the murder weapon. The CBI has still not determined where the boy got the weapon from ! N
