I wonder how much this will distract him from Tesla and SpaceX.

Also, social media is now an attack vector for misinformation from hostile foreign adversaries. How will he fight that?

Isn’t this announcement to mess with Opendoor’s current fundraise? Similar to Microsoft announcing vaporware back in the day or Uber trying to interfere with Lyft’s fundraises?

kul··on Ask HN: What is the biggest untapped opportunity for startups?
Mostly posting this because I want to see it, but drones to automate residential property inspections. I'm actually thinking about miniature drones that can do internal and external residential inspections. My startup is in property management and a lot of the work a human does could be done by a drone + healthy amount of machine learning on the images captured.

About Zeus

At Zeus we're simplifying the process of being a landlord. Homeowners get a quick, fair offer from Zeus to rent out their unit, and avoid having to deal with Craigslist and all the headaches that come with being a landlord. Zeus then furnishes the unit, applies its branding and interior design, and markets the property to corporate tenants. Zeus is based in San Francisco and has properties across the Bay Area.

Zeus has raised over $3M in seed financing from Bowery Capital, Initialized Capital, Floodgate, and Google Ventures. The Zeus founders have all had previous exits and have worked in real estate and technology for over 10 years.

Zeus Living (YC S11) | San Francisco, CA (SF area) | Onsite | Full-Time

We are a tech-driven property manager. You can read more about us here: https://medium.com/@kul/introducing-zeus-713c97cec924#.19avd...

We are different because we sign leases directly with the owner, to give the best user experience possible (instantly have your place rented out), and then furnish and design the properties and market them to corporate tenants. The value proposition for landlords is hassle-free, guaranteed income.

We are hiring for Customer Experience, Leasing, Marketing, Product, Operations & Finance. Contact kulveer at zeusliving dot com.

We recently closed a $2.5M seed round led by Bowery Capital.

kul··on Show HN: Status – an automatic away message for your phone
1) Yes, they built the site! 2) Yeah, Bloomberg Beta and a few YC companies are using it in the coworker context. What we need to fix is making privacy work better - not all colleagues want to share status outside of the workplace. Admittedly teams are not really our focus right now but we're getting feedback that it could be very useful tied in with a desktop client.
kul··on Show HN: Status – an automatic away message for your phone
Hey HN, Status was built by Egomotion (YC S11), and I was interested in getting the community's feedback after our debut on Product Hunt, where we ranked #1 in December. Since then, we've added messaging and a few other non-deterministic statuses. Happy to share information about the app. Direct link to the website here: trystatus.com

It could be that the point of pricing it much higher is to make the other one feel affordable and cheap by comparison? Also, this extracts more consumer surplus from the folks who are price agnostic and want the latest and greatest.

kul··on How the Rich Get Richer, Rental Edition
"Mr. Karnilowicz estimated that 5 percent of the city’s (San Francisco) 212,000 rental units (about 10,600) are kept vacant by landlords who would rather not deal with rent control (others estimate the number is higher, about 25,000 units). He said that many owners would rent those homes if there were reforms, like requiring the rich to pay full market value."
