@AbhayVenkatesh1 there were far fewer founders in the golden age of mobile apps, but lots of great startup ideas. now it seems there are plenty of founders but they’re all working in tired & over explored spaces. might just be my limited perception though
@AbhayVenkatesh1 the bottleneck in the startup ecosystem may just be that there’s no hot new platform(web in dot com era, mobile in 2010s) at the moment to create great products. but i suppose it looks that way all the time, until someone uncovers the potential of a new platform

@LoicTheStoic the beauty of machine translation is that the model doesn’t systematize at all
as long as there’s data on dialects and such it should be capable of providing a cheap translation
