For those who (like me), don't like watching long videos, I made summary notes on all the talks here: http://theinflexion.com/blog/2014/07/26/notes-from-startup-s...

I took notes of key points from each talk which you can access here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14cGeSs5CgRIgMuwjmkq43hsg...

Also, nqureshi made much more complete and well written notes here...http://theinflexion.com/blog/2014/07/26/notes-from-startup-s...

As impressive as the video bitrates are, only the lowest option is watchable with just Google Fiber :/

The stream is OK when viewing from Europe (or from France as far as i'm concerned).

It is a bit choppy for me by this isn't the only video stream running in my house at the moment.

Does anyone know what's the email to ask questions?

It's startupschool@ycombinator.com and I believe the deadline is 4pm local time.

Does not work on my Android phone

That could be because it uses Flash (using JW Player Premium specifically).

The only reliable way I've found for Android to be supported for streaming is using RTSP. Typically, you'd push a RTMP stream to a CDN that will transcode it to RTSP. Scale Engine is a good CDN that offers this service via Wowza.

With RTSP you lose adaptive bitrate streaming, you have to pick a bit rate and stick with it. But with newer version of Android HLS is apparently working better but caveat emptor, Android streaming is hard to make work well on every device.

It doesn't appear who ever Y! is using for the streaming has a RTSP setup.
