    Not sure why every restaurant has decided to replace a veggie burger with an impossible burger. A vegetarian has no interest in tasting a meat alternative!

    Reading YC applications - I am so excited for the future of Indian startup ecosystem - so many awesome teams. I am quite bullish on India and I think in the future Indian startups will win the local market (it will become harder for the US companies to expand to India).

    Proud of @bscholl and the entire @boomsupersonic (YC W16) team for this great milestone. The world's first independently developed supersonic jet is here - built with less than $150M and 150 people in five years. That is a remarkable achievement. Thrilled for the future of aviation.
