#2Scott McNealy's one-sentence summary of Sun is truly something we should all want in our obituaries:

#4Wow, that was an extremely eloquent 4 minute piece to camera. Seems a little misplaced though. YC 120 seems to be about bringing people together who haven't already worked with great teams in SF. It seems to be for those with enthusiasm, ideas, energy, passion and drive but perhaps not a pre-existing network and connections.
I would still consider accepting him on the strength of this video because he seems like he'd be an interesting guy to throw in the mixing pot. And perhaps that's the intention of this video.

#5I love Bryan Cantrill for being that classy bad-ass engineer with so much integrity.

#9The vast majority of cities in the world are nowhere near Silicon Valley in terms of the availability of talent, drive, deep technical expertise, and supportive environment. This is even more true in developing countries where over 80% of the world’s population live.
Allowing passionate people outside of Silicon Valley the opportunity to meet others who might share their passion and have complementary skills, form connections, and possibly find matching teammates to work on challenging projects together is a good reason for supporting YC120.

#10If a potential investor asks you basic questions about your ambitions and you interpret it as "offensive" and "an attack on Silicon Valley", and you end up at William Shockley, I think that says more about you than them.
Bryan is clearly passionate about his beliefs, which probably works great for people who share them. Sometimes I wonder if 2013 Bryan (https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Ben-Noordhuis-decide-to-leave-...) would have fired 1996 Bryan (https://web.archive.org/web/20170328074611/http://www.cryptn...)
