Shifty of you to imply both that I can go jobless and potentially unhirable on short notice, and that the lowest possible four figure dollar amount might also be more of my liquid net worth than Thiel's donation is to his bank account balance. One or the other, not both!
- ScottBurson 10y agoI think we've had a loss of context here. I wasn't speaking against you; I was replying to Thomas's argument that the situation with YC and Thiel is fundamentally different from that with Mozilla and you. Are you really going to tell me you think YC should dissociate from Thiel? I grant your point -- my argument had a bug -- but I would think you would support the spirit in which I offered it. Anyway, since you're here in person, let me say to you directly: I'm sorry I signed that OkCupid petition.
- BrendanEich 10y agoThanks. You know that Yagan and OkCupid were just going for the PR, playing with social media outrage fire. IAC (Ok's parent co) was doing a deal with Mozilla, I'm pretty sure we could have backed them off, had I remained. I can't say more right now, but I'll note that a headhunter linked-in-mailed me late in 2014 asking if I wanted to be CTO of Match/Ok/etc. -- the IAC dating services. https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/543545707152429056 https://twitter.com/BrendanEich/status/543545707152429056 Too funny!
- ScottBurson 10y agoThat is a hoot.
