It happened to me one in the desert, at night. I have blindly followed Google Maps, and I ended up without a signal, in a middle of no where. Luckily, I was not very far from the city.

Agriculture. With global warming changing traditional farming, the knowledge and expertise of local farmers is not relevant.

It's not a criticism. It's standard practice to put the year in the title on HN for older articles so as to give context.

These SV made-men, taken as a group, are Exhibit A for survivorship bias. Their primary talent is having been in the right place at the right time and they've spun an entire self-help industry out of it. If they hadn't gotten lucky early on, they'd just be dopey middle management parasites at some investment firm. These aren't they people that can build anything, they're just the middlemen between rich idiots and people with actual talents.

That doesn't change the fact that there were many people in SV at the time. Arguably, Sam and the team did very well.

These lectures are timeless. The advises in there are still valuable in .net era.

This is a collection of videos. Most are not by Sam Altman. He just gathered them together.

I will probably watch the Adora Cheung video later today. I think that's one I haven't seen and I've really liked everything I've seen by her so far.

YC also has a free library of stuff. You don't need to be in Startup School to start accessing their educational things.

So if you want to learn and don't yet feel ready to commit to starting a business, you can start learning on your terms, at your pace.

Don't discount the value of that for laying the groundwork for a future business. If you can only give it an hour or two a week now, do what you can now. It adds up over time.

Just to add to this comment. If users can't watch/read, you can listen to podcasts while you run or drive a car, it can help you to understand how people try to build a business. There was a podcast (How to Start a Startup | Podcast on Spotify) . On that note, I enjoyed also listening to those who are building projects, and share their journeys e.g. Nathan's interviews with SaaS founders (https://nathanlatka.com/podcast-thetop/) and The Startup podcast(https://gimletmedia.com/shows/startup)
