Ah, sorry, failed to understand this. Great! Looking forward to it - thanks for the work you put in!

At which point will my profile be assessed? After the deadline, or at some random point between now and then? Hoping to have it completed by tomorrow - just don't want to be worried that it's already submitted and statically waiting for a review..
fortydegrees··on Announcing Startup School 2019
I participated last year with a startup which I got pulled away from due to another offer. I have since started work on a new startup which I want to apply to SS2019 for.

I have re-applied/'signed up' with my old profile, and it looks like this has submitted the 'old' company. I am going to edit the details of this form on my profile. Will this get reviewed as a new company, or should I create a new profile and thus a new company and apply again?

>Innocent life must be protected.

I think this is the commonly attacked premise for abortion, roughly along utilitarian lines.

fortydegrees··on Ask HN: Why did your startup fail and what did you learn?
> 1. I should never have given up. If you don't give up you can't fail.

I think if you expand the scope of 'failure' to mean your life, as opposed to just the business, then you didn't fail. You were pursuing a strategy that would have led to the failure of your marriage, which is much worse than a failed business. I think you succeeded.
