That said, I wonder how can they have a single device for the whole house, and how it works for harder floors, like ceramic tile, which doesn't make much of a sound. Seems to me that something so sensitive would be triggered by way too many false positives.

#23Luckily no one reads the ToS and it's a huge market - everyone has relationship problems.
So they'll make millions because most of the population isn't rational enough to understand that at a base-level that none of us know shit about all the intricacies of human relationships. Life coaches and psychiatrists included.
Kudos to them on their traction. I'm talking shit but preying on people's insecurities in relationships is an endless market. Can't wait to see their FB ads pop-up right after a Tai Lopez infomercial.

#24There's only a small subset of diseases it can actually help, and until you can actually grow organs, it's generally useless, for a lot of money. Also you can generate stem cells from adult blood cells or bone marrow anyway.
What the YC company appears to offer doesn't seem much more than a Silicon Valley Blood Boy, the unproven promise of youth from young blood.

#26They say Pyka already built a plane, so why do they only show renderings? Seems weird to waste that credibility advantage.

#29Personal favorite snippet from the article: > With this pedigree, PullRequest has managed to draw interest from 450 teams. Though only a portion of these are actually using the service, PullRequest touts a $136 million annualized revenue run rate. From Crunchbase: founded May, 2017. As a disclaimer, I'm no accountant, but that just seems downright deliberately misleading. Their standard plan is $49/mo.
Founder of PullRequest here: To be clear: $136,000, not $136mm. Typo on article.

#30Dropleaf (Netflix for indie games) - at $10/mo for a 50-game bundle I can't see how this can attract any of the quality games and devs.
