It looks like Livecoding have now updated my profile for me, to claim I am "spamming them": https://www.livecoding.tv/lazer/

Hi drakonka, I have only just found out about this, and was until now not aware of what happened. I don't know why my cofounder Michael marked you as spam, and I will ask him to contact you. I can only apologise for the handling of your account deletion, it really is not acceptable that it took so long, so we will make it a priority to improve this.

If this is how you usually "mark spammers" her account issue is the least of your problems. It makes it look like the site is run by a paranoid schizophrenic. Most unprofessional thing I've ever seen from a YC company, even if the allegations would be true.

In the span of a just a few days we have YC-backed companies being publically outed for engaging in behavior which most of us consider pretty egregious and would certainly warrant any rights as YC founders to be revoked. The tone of commenters (here and w.r.t the Homejoy) can be described as mild shock. This particular example is perhaps even worse than the Homejoy issue, as it seems the founders have taken to person…

This is a ridiculous statement, it is nothing like a university.

Here is my interaction with livecoding.tv's support about removing videos, they don't seem to like removing stuff from their website! https://www.livecoding.tv/video/designing-a-touch-screen-int... @ 20:37

can you submit DMCA claim to them?

Doubt it. Their T&C probably protects them from that kind of thing, but I can't even find it on their site right now.

Why is the page still up with the spamming accusations on it? If you're a co-founder, please take care of it ASAP instead of wasting drakonka's time 'contacting' them.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I was about to sign up, with about the same reason and interest level as the post author. How's Twitch for this?

Twitch officially doesnt allow non-gaming related (game-dev is ok) streams. As long as you dont stream anything explicit you should be ok though

Their new Creative branch might cover more branches of coding.

As of last week they expanded the definition of what they allow, explicitly mentioning coding

http://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2176641-creat... Q. What if my creative broadcast is gaming-related art, game development, programming, or involves creation of music? A. You are free to choose whatever you think is the most appropriate category for your creative broadcast, so long as you adhere to the Rules of Conduct for the category when doing so.

Q. Does all Creative category content have to be gaming related? A. No, you’re free to broadcast your creative process for any genre!

Amazing, a response including even more stall tactics.

YC - Research - https://blog.ycombinator.com/yc-research (clearly universities have nothing like this)

Over 700 companies have gone on through YC, so they now have a few thousand alums and actively maintain an Alumni network -- really wish universities had something like this!

The companies go through the program in cohorts for a set amount of time -- they call these "classes". Not sure if universities have anything of the sort.

Sam Altman himself said that soon he "we will have to do something" with respect to housing. Again, nothing like I've seen any university do.

My personal favorite, though, is the part where they get everyone to come to dinner together to exchange experiences and whatnot. If only Harvard figured out that they could use their beautiful dining hall for this sort of thing...
