What are the chances of a Subsidiary in getting accepted to YC? Have you had any case like this previously?
P.S.: I'm talking about a case where only the subsidiary has applied for YC and that subsidiary is making a different product than what the parent company is making.

Move from "What investors look for in new startups & founders" to "What customers/users look for in new startups & products" and you'll be all good for a long journey.What are your thoughts? :)

Re:Ask HN: Is Google Apps Down?
on Wednesday September 14, 2016 @11:17AM (#12497780)
We use Google Apps too but the services are up and running perfectly.
On googling, I realized this is a common issue reported multiple time.
Few things that you would like to consider and think: - Did you guys just started using Google Apps. If yes, then it takes around 24 hours for the services to get activated. - The admin might have suspended the account. - Are you sure your payments for Google Apps are going through? We faced a similar problem once when we had a problem with our Credit Card.

Ask HN: What are some of the engineering challenges one should keep in mind?
The question might be little broad. Pardon me, not a mainstream tech guy. But I'm looking for some advice on what are some of the engineering challenges and cautions one should keep in mind while building and scaling up a networking app? How to build the system and team from Day 1 and how to improvise things as one scales it up and what are some of the things that should be paid attention to...

Install BotBrew and use it as FTP/Web/File Server.
Use it as a Chromecast controller.
Maybe build a cool robo/drone/tool using Arduino and use your phone to control it.
Maybe, as a paperweight too? Even a non-functional phone would work here! :D

Robots might destroy jobs, but also create new jobs for us.
It's like innovative products - which might make some products obsolete but also makes space for more innovation and other products that would've not existed otherwise. :)

Definition of "idea" here means - any intelligent thought/opinion about any particular field. But much more focused on yours "idea" and a collection of those ideas at one place. It could also work as a very valuable portfolio (of ideas) apart from your CV. Even though, execution is the key; ideas are also worth something. :)

HN and Twitter (sometimes) seem appropriate to share ideas. But Facebook and other such platforms doesn't appeal to me as it need not always have the right audience. Hence building Meraki with the right kind of user-base who would be interested into sharing and also in knowing more about others' ideas about product, world, politics, and many other areas. :)
Ask HN: How do we pick an user ID while building a social-platform?
We're a team of 20 and 22 y.o. building an idea-sharing platform called Meraki. This is our very first try at building an app and also the very first try at building a social platform. The platform that we're building - Meraki - uses only Facebook and Twitter APIs to signup and login. The new users are then asked to pick a username. We want to provide a functionality to users to change their...
