So that wraps up the day of talks. We do have a reception now downstairs; that’s downstairs where you had your lunch, and also outside in the courtyard. Before everybody disappears, I do have some thank yous.

Thank you very much to everybody who has been running the event, a part of the brewery; it's just been absolutely fantastic. Nothing seems to have gone wrong. A very, very special thanks to Tara over there, Tara's Terrace, part of the Y Combinator team. She's the events manager, and she's worked really hard to make this success.

Also, thank you to all you guys for coming and listening, and thanks to all the speakers who have hopefully entertained you all day.

One of the things that we forgot to mention on the panel is application dates. We will be opening up applications for the next batch in August, so keep your eye on our website for that. The next batch will be winter 2015, which starts in January of 2015, and we'll be interviewing for that in November.

So that's everything from me. Please make your way downstairs and enjoy yourselves with some nice cool drinks.

Graphical limit at point discontinuity

So here we have the graph ( y = G(x) ). We have a little point discontinuity right over here at ( x = 7 ), and what we want to do is figure out what is the limit of ( G(x) ) as ( x ) approaches 7. So essentially, we say, “Well, what is the function appro…

Adding decimals with ones and tenths parts

Last video, we got a little bit of practice adding decimals that involved tths. Now let’s do slightly more complicated examples. So let’s say we want to add four to 5.7, or we could read the second number as 5 and 7⁄10. Pause this video and see if you ca…

YC Fireside: Surbhi Sarna and Tracy Young - Founder of TigerEye and PlanGrid

Hi Tracy, welcome, and welcome to everybody in the audience as well. Tracy, you are such a legend more broadly and a legend in the female founder community. Certainly, I can’t think of anyone better to kick off Women’s History Month with. Thanks for havi…

How minimum wage hurts workers (while profit and competition help them)

So this is a video primarily for—to be serious—you’ve seemed quite taken aback when I said that minimum wage regulations are usually harmful to workers. Now, this is a subject that’s already been addressed several times on YouTube, but I think it bears re…
