Even in the minimal example there are way more variables than it first seems.

1. How many shirts do we order? 2. When is it worth moving on to the next trend? 3. How should we handle shipping? Do we market globally or locally?

Even the smallest business require a lot of balancing of priorities and planning for the long run with uncertain returns


True

What's like the most minimally scoped business someone could operate entirely digitally though? Is it the drop ship crap? Or maybe like a web game w/ ad revenue?


Webgame with ad rev might work -- I was thinking some kind of churned out self-publishing of children's books? Though I'm not sure if you'd actually turn a profit. Whatever it was, it'd definitely have to be heavily engineered though -- custom tools, and basically a glorified flow chart.


Okay so yeah this interests me because it seems so plausible that the right set of of LMs w/ custom tools surely could turn a profit on self-publishing of children's e-books.

Like how could that NOT be the case?

I feel like any sufficiently variable sparse business w/ minimal tool call needs it'd have to be the case that you can turn on a model and get something going.

t-shirt drop ship, children e-books, webgame ad-rev, something of this sort


Does this support log aggregation from multiple pods?


Yes - it will stream logs from all pods managed by the workload you're currently viewing (e.g. a Deployment, ReplicaSet, Daemonset)


This looks awesome. You should make a demo extension and open source it to show some of the applications that can be built on top of it.


Planning to switch the Gmail code on https://trysignal.com to gmail.js. That should be out soon


Good luck to everyone. Remember regardless of what the response is, YC is only a nitro boost.

Everybody is racing to create the future and don't slow down just because you didn't get into YC.


Yes, we will be releasing our product (packaged in the platform) and then allow developers to add their apps to the platform too. We are even thinking of open sourcing our app to make it easier for developers.


I think the closest thing right now is Chromecast. But I think they are focussed on screen sharing to your TV, while we want to connect all your devices.


Our current plan is to have Android during launch.


What about Blackberry?


f* blackberry.


We will support Smart TVs at the start, so you can download it from the app store.


I don't think this has a lot to do with good PR. It's a smart acquisition. Weather plays a big role in agriculture in Asian countries.


Why in Asia more than in other parts of the world? Mitigation of weather-related risks and oportunities should apply to any farmer with enough sophistication.


Maybe the comment was more about the agricultural economy. Most farmers have been and continue to be small-scale farmers (a few acres?), and since there are a lot more people in Asia, I'd expect a lot more farmers. I'm guessing that climate changes would hit 1000 people each with 2-acre farms in Asia differently than it would the pocketbook of 1 person with a 2000 acre farm in America that grows crops that get partially subsidized by the US govt. The role the govt plays (or doesn't, for example, b/c of excessive corruption), is also a factor.


We don't need no climate change to ruin a crop with hail storm, too little rain fall or other circumstances.
