What a half-assed website. Seems quite rushed. I'd expect higher-quality information from YC.

I heard from a friend Amazon dolling out tons of cash to their team of PhDs so they can design automated pricing for certain customers

Entrepreneurship can be boiled down to one command (don't crucify me): Find a need, or make one, and fill it.

So start by learning the problems that people have and truly validate that problem's existence and significance in their lives.

The second thing I would consider are your execution abilities. Looking at your websites, it's clear that web design isn't your strong suit; it seems your strong suit might be having deep knowledge of the linux ecosystem (taking a guess here). Then again consider your market size.

This shouldn't happen. There's things called End-of-Life and End-of-Service. EOS usually happens a least a year out. Google should still be servicing previous versions.

I'm an underwater photographer. You're not wrong, but here's the thing, the deeper you go, the less light is present and the reds get filtered out. My fingernails and hands at 60ft down look purple. So editing is a must. Here's a good overview of a common underwater photograph practice: http://diveadvisor.com/sub2o/get-your-white-balance-done-rig...

It's the equivalent of telling someone to pose facing the sun so there's enough light shining on their face. We do the same thing but with strobes and editing, because when you're 100ft down, it's never lighter than twilight.

These Nat Geo photos don't look altered all that much. Good photographers will make subjects look as they do to the naked eye.
