Hi all - Ben, one of the podcast hosts here.
A few folks asked us to ungate this Acquired x Gary Tan LP show episode for the YC community so we went ahead and did that.
One fun thing from this episode: I never realized that before Initialized when Garry was a partner at YC, he was designing early homepages for companies in the batch… including HelloSign and GOAT :)

"Postproduction was mostly refining creative choices that we were not able to finalize on the set in a way that we deemed photo-real."
Does anyone know how they were able to swap out the in-camera version of the background originally shown on the LED wall with something more convincing later? Seems like it'd be tough since it's not a green screen!

Space noob here: why is it that just after liftoff, the rocket swings out to the right, and corrects. Is this intentional?

You'd then take that money and then do anything other than putting it into a high-growth tech company.
Yep, that's one way to hedge :)
I guess the main thing I was getting at is - is there any high-growth tech company that you could start that has more opportunity in a bubble burst?

Jobs, conceptually articulating what would become the Internet in 1985:
"The most compelling reason for most people to buy a computer for the home will be to link it into a nationwide communications network. We’re just in the beginning stages of what will be a truly remarkable breakthrough for most people—as remarkable as the telephone."

Re:Personal observations on the reliability of the Shuttle (1986)
on Saturday February 08, 2014 @01:41PM (#7202057)
There were 135[1] Space Shuttle missions with 2 resulting in human casualties (Challenger and Columbia disasters).
Thus, a failure with loss of vehicle and of human life of 1.48 in 100.
The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.
The reality was even more dangerous than the engineers had predicted, and far more dangerous than management had.

Yep, it is built in, but many (including myself) disable it. It's pretty common that I accidentally open a message, but I don't have a response / a chance to respond yet, and I don't want the person to think I'm ignoring them.

There is a hilarious amount of Silicon Valley culture in the organization of this article. Particularly in pimping your biggest name early adopters.
