news.ycombinator.com Robb Corrigan 2026-02-08 09:11:53

The venture capital world has always had a hot-and-cold relationship with the Midwest. Investors rush in during boom times, then retreat to the coasts when markets turn sour. For Columbus, Ohio-based Drive Capital, this cycle of attention and disinterest played out against the backdrop of its own internal upheaval several years ago — a co-founder split that could have ended the firm but may have ultimately strengthened it.

Android 16’s Live Updates won’t work with your favorite music player, and that’s a bummer

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Android 16 introduces Live Updates, a new feature that elevates ongoing notifications to the status bar, but it excludes media playback notifications.
