I'm getting the impression that a lot of people in this thread think this is because they violated an open-source license and saying things to the effect of, "they're just the ones who got caught". I also thought that was the scandal initially. (And when it comes to license violations, yes, there's absolutely more where that came from.) But that's just the cherry on top. I don't think they're being thrown out because…

> What damage is that? (excluding the present case) That seems to be an introspective question.

"They've betrayed my trust but I wish them well" is an interesting statement.
Someone doing harm to you doesn't automatically mean you wish harm to them. Not that I necessarily take what Garry says at face value but it's definitely possible to unironically take this viewpoint.
That may not automatically mean you wish them harm in return, but I believe it would be very uncommon to not.

I think when making the claim a company is a net negative, it's necessary to explore what would have happened if the company hadn't been founded. I find it unlikely, for example that there would not be a dominant centralized forum platform. People would have certainly started problematic communities on the dominant platform, and it's unlikely a platform with strict moderation would have gained dominance before 2015 o…
The corporate shield for accountability is so annoying in this way. Nobody’s ever responsible for things that they did as human beings.

All LLMs do this, yet nobody bats an eye.

This function exists in every publicly traded public company, and is called internal audit. It has the potential to be incredibly impactful, but often devolves into box ticking (like many compliance functions). And it's really hard to find technical people to do the work, as it's generally perceived as a cost centre so tends not to get budget.
Nobody really tries to get technical people to do the work. Like cool, it's a great idea and would potentially produce positive results if done well, but the roles pay half the engineering roles, and the interviews are stacked towards compliance frameworks. There's very little ability to fix a large public company when HR is involved

This is like saying “that guy would have died eventually if I didn’t murder him.” The corporate shield for accountability is so annoying in this way. Nobody’s ever responsible for things that they did as human beings.
They thought it was a social bookmarking thing for people to find and share blog posts. It didn't even have comments for the first half year. For two more years, self-posts only existed as a hack where the poster had to predict the post's ID to make it link to itself. User-created subreddits didn't show up until about 2.5 years after the site launched.

That's not the right metaphor here.
The headline here says "Delve removed from Y Combinator", but the link doesn't go to a statement by Y Combinator. It goes to a 404. Is there reason to believe that Delve has been removed from Y Combinator, the organization, or is this more an announcement that Delve has been removed from Y Combinator's website?

Don't you wish well on people you don't want to associate with? It would be interesting if you didn't, imo.
No, if I believed wishes, hopes and prayers affected anything why would I waste the finite quantity of them on random people let alone people I professionally separated myself from? As Donald Draper once said "I don't think about you at all."
What makes you say that wishes are finite? Do you ration them out to your loved ones?
