Congrats! After a marriage things changes a bit. PG and Jessica are involved with YC so, lets hope there is no side effects on YC :)

That should be $15,000: $5000 for each co-founder, and $5000 for the startup.

They managed to weasel an extra $5000 out of YC for their (future) third founder, PG Jr.

too male centric. how about JL Jr./PG Jr.

Congrats PG and RTM!!

Hmm, I guess PG and RTM have been hitched through all their partnerships in business/startup/hacking ventures.

Maybe the best way to get around same sex marriage issues in U.S. is to allow all same sex couples to form small business partnerships? We know all founders are in fact like couples married to each other.

Professional women usually reserves the right to keep their maiden name unchanged. At least I've been seen a lot of women in NYC's financial/media circle who never change their name even after marriage.

I never understand the purpose of name change of women after marriage. The ownership doesn't change lately in first world in 21st century.

I always had the thought in the back of my mind that there was something between pg and rtm. pg just speaks exceptionally warmly of rtm, so I considered it a possibility. I am not trying to be insulting or be understood in the wrong way, its just something that came to mind. But anyway, enough with silly thoughts, congrats to pg and jl!

That's what I feel annoyed about. Because a lot of media studies put friedship between two males under the hidden context of homosexuality. In a lot of old French movies like those by Jean-Pierre Melville's. The male characters always forge some steady friendship that they can sacrifice they own life for the other. But I think those critics are looking at everything wrong.

I had once a male friend from England said he met his male soul mate in Italy, I was confused since he is straight, but later I understand what he said is he met one person that just understand what he thinks and likes in music/arts and theoretical physics

And old Chinese term for this case is "zhi ji" means "someone just understands me".
