I watch quite a few youtube coding videos. I've noticed over the past few years that when I want to learn something, watching someone else do it in a short 1-5 minute video is more effective for me than the text based tutorials that we're all used to. I've used paid platforms with long video courses, but felt like I only got a few good nuggets of info from each one. When I started searching for small one off topics on youtube (ex. "advanced union types in Typescript") I found nice, concise, videos that were helpful for me to learn quickly during my work day.

I created tuple.tv as I wanted a way to save and categorize these videos I was accumulating. I can search my saved videos by filter tags (similar to del.icio.us anyone else remember that?) I plan to add similar videos and more social features in the future so that watching and saving videos will benefit other users as well. Enjoy!

Yeah sorry, I built trakkin for the Blockstack hack-a-thon so I was moving quick and mobile UI suffered. I'll get it fixed soon.

Ah, that's pretty cool. When I worked at Zappos/Amazon they had a similar approach to patents. They patented a lot of our code, but promised to only use it for defensive purposes. Which makes sense because we got sued a lot.

Like everyone else on this thread said, wire transfers cost money here in the US. I think what the EU considers a wire transfer is different than what we do here in the US. Wire transfers here require a bunch of information and are painful.

We do have something closer to what you're talking about though. Most large US banks offer the ability to transfer money to other members of the same bank with simply an account number. Such as Bank of America to Bank of America, or Wells Fargo to Wells Fargo. There are fees associated with going Wells Fargo to Bank of America though which is a turn-off.

The other problem with these kinds of transfers is that there is no API for integrating that technology into a 3rd party service. I would have to go onto Wells Fargo's site to transfer money to another Wells Fargo customer. If those banks had any sense at all they would innovate and release APIs to enable that kind of transaction.

"ATM rails?" Can you explain that a little more?

This will be really cool. We use Balanced for our payments system, and have talked with a lot of our users about pay-outs. The top two problems with getting customers to cash out are the security of giving away their bank account info, and the time it takes to get your check book and input the account and routing info.

I'm curious about how this works though. I think Square Cash is doing something similar right? I've heard rumors about how it works where the company basically posts a refund to the card even if it had never been charged. Is that correct?

Are there any statistics to show that YC companies who optimize for bigger valuations reach product market fit and then the scale stage more than YC companies who optimize for the most compatible investors? (Which may or may not mean lower valuations)

It seems like that data wouldn't be anecdotal evidence, but cover a fairly large sample size.

Yeah, I think they're sending the email out in separate blasts. This is one email they don't want ISPs blocking IPs on because it looks like spam.
