"then YC has a serious messaging problem" People have been signaling this for quite some time. Throughout this thread you attempt to dispel this perception, but I can't help but wo…

Really think we are due for the black swan event of user data — payment info, explicit personal photos, private conversations, etc. The average person just has way too much implici…

I’m neither an engineer nor an architect, so this may come off as incredibly naive, but why wouldn’t layers of reinforcement — eg a retaining wall or guardrail — some distance out …

Would be of great service if YC were more upfront about its biases to applicants. The narrative that YC is an accessible path for anyone seems to contradict the actions taken. Wher…

The stations are filthy, have poor accessibility, the signage is tattered, the PA systems almost never work, the ETAs are often wrong if they’re even offered. That’s aside from the…

Much of YC’s content and outreach is clearly targeted towards college students and younger generations. There is little to no acknowledgement of those who may have gotten into tech…

It’s so deflating to see both YC & PG focus their content almost solely on the younger generations. As someone who came to tech later in their mid-30s, it’s not hard to feel like e…

Your real problem is with the state, not with technology.

Something tells me you are wholly unaware of the damage that addiction and obesity can inflict not just on the person afflicted, but on their family, community, and society as a wh…

I’m a long time Cron user but didn’t know it had Calendly functionality. How do you share availability?

Fintech, “led” product. And by led, I mean shoot from the hip with no strategy, no experience, and no structure, with a CEO cofounder who from day 1 tried to push me out. I was sad…

I naively dropped out of grad school to cofound a startup where I was pushed out at the 11th hour before it was acquired. Took some personal time off to process the fallout and hav…

Have been reading a lot of PG’s and Sam Altman’s writings and following the YC classes, and I can’t help but feel as if they’d see someone at my age as not worth an investment, som…

Could never understand people who order a stack of pancakes / waffles first thing in the morning. You couldn’t find a more malnourishing meal. Hell, have a burger and fries instead…

You’ve offered no specific or practical alternatives, just idealistic babble, and are yet calling for the scaling back of direct and actionable enforcement. People like you, the po…

What alternatives do you propose other than enforcement? What sorts of investments do you believe will directly and effectively curb violence and crime? What does underinvestment h…

Have you lived near where they celebrate J’Ouvert? I used to live in that part of Brooklyn for 10 years and the festival always incited crime and violence in our immediate area. I’…

You think those traits are inherent to being a “person of color”?

Are all of your social circles proportionally composed of genders and races representative of society? If so, why not? If you are so concerned about proportional ratios, why are yo…
