My vacation to Las Vegas resulted in a meditation on the nature of fame, proximity and collective memory.

It was incredible to see Rich Little, at age 86, performing routines from 50 years ago. If you see Paul McCartney perform today, you want to hear him sing I Saw Her Standing There, from 1963. Nobody says that song is too old to play. Old live comedy is the same.

Protip for those applying to @ycombinator, the form sends a Posthog event every few keystrokes. Do something weird in there and you get real-time visibility from the Product Team.
The deadline to apply for the YC Fall 2025 batch is this Monday, August 4th. All you need is an idea: ycombinator.com/apply

Life in Halifax will have you always searching “how to pay for transit” in every new city you visit. The answer is always tap payment with any debit or credit card, but you figure there must be one other outpost exclusively accepting coins or special drug store tickets
