> I agree with OP's point on the inherant age discrimination within technology, I say this because I was once a biased younger human who didn't have the life experience to understa…

A friend of mine, my age, had problem landing interviews. When he did the an uncomfortable pattern emerged. He did very well until the video interview. After that, crickets, no cal…

And no part of that implies any emotion or sentiment at all. What you are reading into is is your own bias. It almost like a title:subtitle structure. You read the content to under…

> They generally give feedback on your application That has not been my experience. I can't find the email right now. If I remember correctly it had some boilerplate about to the e…

Thanks for pointing that out. I added the email to the about box. BTW, I sent you a connection request on LinkedIn.

> Just to be clear, users flagged it, not moderators. I understand this. In this case "they" did not mean YC. Maybe I should have clarified.

To jump in for a second as the OP. What is also interesting about me is that I do not need a single dime from YC. I value their input enough that I would easily give 7% for a $1 in…

I just did. I will only reply to messages if it seems a conversation is warranted. I've had the experience on HN and other groups of someone contacting you with something that look…

> You've got YC one-itis. There are a zillion other places to raise money. Any one funding source says no 98% of the time, it has nothing to do with you. I don't think you read my …

I don't need cofounders. Anyone who is married knows just how tough that can be. The primary reason for which cofounders are useful with a young team is because entrepreneurship is…

In a recent YC survey one of the questions was about whether or not we would apply to YC again. I answered "no". I am now 58. I consider myself a highly accomplished multidisciplin…
