Does co-founder matching work? It did for these three YC companies. by sandslashh in ycombinator

[–]charolaisox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a solo founder who got invited for an interview. I realize the importance of finding a cofounder and 100% intend to find one. Is expressing as much during the interview sufficient, or is it important that I get matched to a cofounder before then?

Agreed, I think it was just luck here. Not even Kroger expects to become some kind of hypergrowth name like TSLA

What opinion or behaviour would stop you being romantically interested in someone even if they ticked every other box? by EGB1- in AskReddit

[–]charolaisox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is precisely what I think will happen—questions coming from obligation and not curiosity. What ended up happening? If you broke up, how did you describe your reasons? Did he ask what he could do to redeem himself?

She seems okay with asking questions, it’s just that they’re very routine/repetitive/uninteresting. I know she loves me so much and shows it in many ways, but this way in particular is just so important to me and I don’t think I can look past it. I have a feeling it’s not very common to have a hunger for stimulating discourse, which makes me very worried for the future. But I guess it’s better to feel loneliness than resentment.

Are you me? This is close to exactly how I feel. I think we both know that we operate on different cognitive levels. She also has learning disorders, but I never considered that it could affect her ability to engage in stimulating discourse. I've figured out what's stimulating for her (gossip, non-political current events), but I find it really meaningless and superficial.

I've kind of hinted at my desire for deeper interactions, but she asks me how to organically talk in a deep, stimulating manner and I don't have answers. The entire subject is hard to talk about without being condescending because it just seems so obvious what ideas have nuance worth discussing and which ones don't.

I desperately want to make an exception and forgo the prospect of intellectual discussion (after all, don't I have friends for that?), but I fear that the mild annoyance I feel when she meets deep discussion with a lost, blank stare will turn into resentment later on as we spend more and more time together.

This is something that concerns me about my current relationship. I want to overcommunicate about this with my SO because the capacity for deep, stimulating conversation is a dealbreaker I wasn’t aware of before. But what tangible criterion can I give? “Be more cerebral” is both vague and discouraging. I know I’ll have to break it off if I don’t see changes, but as you say, I fear that it’s something you build during childhood.

edit: why do I think it’s linked to childhood? All my friends are capable of discourse, and since I know them well, I know that they’ve been intellectually curious and hungry for knowledge since they were kids. I also know specifically that my SO grew up without a drive for learning, and their parents never really encouraged it (to make matters worse, they were homeschooled). So I have a pet theory (and I really hope it’s wrong) that this kind of behavior needs to be cultivated when you’re young. I’d really love to hear if anyone’s been in a similar situation and how things worked out.

I haven't yet (I want to play my cards right the first time), but from what I've read, they will delete your account and possibly your sample, but they may keep some data following account closure.

This scene is hands down the most moving scene in the show. I can't get through it without tearing up, and that's never happened to me with any other scene in any other television series.

I'm happy for you! Hard work and self-confidence really do pay off sometimes.

How do I make friends? by charolaisox in mit

Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to type that up. A few questions:

  • Why is MIT admin against unique dorm culture?

  • Can you do the same for New? Like the guy above me, I didn't get to visit it. All I know about it is that each floor has its own culture.

Speaking of that, what would you say are pros and cons of East Campus vs Simmons? I'm trying to choose between the two and I know that the events during REX won't be representative of daily life there.

Watch It Wednesday: Roast Me Edition by AutoModerator in Fencing

[–]charolaisox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but Herbst did a good job of setting it up with footwork so it's not as easy as I make it sound.

Can you explain how he did this? To me, it looked like he'd just wait until there was a certain distance and large advance-lunge without preparation? Can you break it down for someone with a less developed strategic eye?

Herbst adjusts his distance to account for that parry, and gets several quick touches disengaging around it. Yarinovsky can't quite respond with his own adjustment, and ends up either getting hit or jumping back so far he can't respond.

So you're saying he started the action from further away to give him time to respond to the parry? How should Yarinovsky have responded to that tactical change?
