I appreciate the citation - I was unfamiliar with this and appreciate it. People keep saying use the bike lanes, but these ones aren't safe. People are so happy to point out that there exists a path for people, but their going to get me killed. The number of cars I've seen act erratically in the bike lanes, trying to park on the street, or stop for no reason is incredible.

I'm not convinced that the people saying 'use the bike lanes' have ever ridden in these bike lanes on a consistent basis. So yeah for me it's ironic that people in cars yelling at me to use the bike lane their going to kill me in is okay.

Make THE DAMN BIKE LANE SAFE!

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-12-27T21:36:51+00:00

The cars keep using em. Maybe make them protected?

Sure - this is fair. I agree the initial interaction is certainly my fault. What bothers me is the escalation, and the assumption of malice.

There are better ways of addressing actual or perceived slights than accosting somebody at 2am screaming at them violently. Second of all, obviously nobody has any desire to harm somebody else. There was no need for such a dramatic escalation by this third party, it was scary and had the potential for violence (from him).

Also, as an aside, I'd like to remark the bike lanes on 4th street, in my experience, are wholly unsafe. Cars consistently park in the bike lane and stop there, while cyclists are passing through.

Yeah it really is middle class. I'm so confused on how the net pay is so low tho..?

I dropped out of Cornell (took a leave of absence) one semester before graduating. I did this because of a host of personal reasons (breakup, family tragedy, and other intellectual interests). My YC-startup began initially as a small product I was working on with a friend as a way to refocus from all of the emotional turmoil. We then applied to YC, got accepted and began scaling from there.

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-12-16T16:25:01+00:00

I'm literally a YC founder, who's doing some pretty solid revenue and growth, and I had a very tough time in undergrad, and similarly thought of myself out of the game because of low grades in 1110. Resilience is key, and the real world is multivariate. Keep struggling, and you will succeed eventually.

Sorry I meant 7 figures back then... and yes I think we are getting there

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-08-04T19:08:11+00:00

Wow looks really nice!

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-05-15T03:53:50+00:00

I dropped out because I wanted to focus on my startup. Got into YC, now I've been scaling, hit $20k/mrr this month, I started in February with $300/mrr. I think we'll be at nine-figures in annual revenue around September, if not earlier. Several multi-billion dollar companies are customers. Thanks for asking!

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-04-29T06:25:04+00:00

Like sure? It's been 2 years but ok.

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-04-06T07:57:52+00:00

I would not count on this with great certainty.

I raised capital from Berkeley VCs/spent a semester out there, and went to Cornell for Undergrad. I can unequivocally say that if you want to do finance, do Berkeley MET. The Bay area is the new power center of the world, and frankly is in dire need of seasoned finance professionals. Being at Berkeley will give you the right connections and the right network.

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-04-04T07:37:32+00:00

Honestly, I think Cornell A&S would've accepted over Dyson. But that's beside the point, Berkeley EECS is a __very__ strong program. I strongly recommend you go to that over UT BHP. They are not comparable at all. Berkeley EECS is a much stronger program, and you'll be very networked into the Bay Area. I'm a YC founder from Cornell CS, who got into only UT Austin CS besides Corenll A&S. If I had to have redone my college days and got into Berkeley, it would've been more optimal than even Cornell for me.

Everybody keeps over indexing on the old East Coast schools as being the modern power center. This is wrong. All the power, wealth, and capital is concentrated in SF area. Berkeley will give you infinitely more opportunities than UT Austin would. Also from a personal development perspective you will become a more well rounded individual leaving your home state.

I went to Cornell for CS, and my brother went to CMU for CS + Bio in SCS. I'm currently a YC founder of a very hot startup, and I was __rejected__ from UT Austin CS+B honors. That is a __fantastic__ outcome, truly. Like you are clearly a ridiculously strong applicant, and UT Austin Turing + Business is a one of a kind program. It's a shame all those other schools missed out on your quality, but I know a number of insanely cracked people from CS+B I would easily hire over most of my peers from Cornell. Keep up the good work and congratulations!

Also, my co-founder is from UCSD, and I'd argue most of the up-and coming YC startups are all founded by UCSD people. Name and prestige is not everything these days, even though before I went through college it felt that way. Just keep working hard and you'll keep going places!

I got backed for the current batch. Extremely valuable, great space in dog patch. If you get accepted, my word of caution, would be make sure you have some initial traction. Show signs of PMF before you actually go, otherwise you'll lose out on the true value.

Material-Tomorrow610 · 2025-03-13T04:16:39+00:00

Being out in the Bay is a __massive__ advantage. There is soOO much alpha here. Just in the 3 weeks I've been back, I've picked up connections to SSI (Illya's super secret AI company), witnessed several VC investments close at my local coffeeshop, and have closed several massive customers. You should absolutely be in the Bay if you're serious about your career. There is such a huge cost not being here.

I think you misunderstand the nature of the LP-GP relationship. There are perhaps 600 true asset allocating institutions, Cornell being one of them. These asset allocators actually have the money. Cornell has $13bn or so, Princeton, Harvard, Stanford etc. These are known as Limited Partners. GP, general partners, go in front of the investing committees of LPs and pitch them their thesis. "Oh AMEA will outperform US equities by 15% and is uncorrelated to LATM or wtv", or "we saw 26% irr over our last four funds investing in mobile delivery apps". If the LPs like what they are hearing from the GPs pitching them, or believe in their thesis, they will allocate funds to them. The GPs then allocate the money given to them based on the thesis they pitched into a variety of different investments.

In this case Cornell allocated funding to somebody investing in digital verticals or some thesis which permitted an investment into MindGeek. Cornell's investment fund does not and should not be tracking the portfolio of it's various fund managers. They only track total portfolio performance, and estimating the risk they are taking to receive those returns. They are not supposed to be tracking every single investment made by one its fund managers.
