I'm sure they took out no more than $20,000 for the first three months of marriage, to see if they can make it work and produce someone who can make something that people want. :D
- ph0rque 18y agoThat should be $15,000: $5000 for each co-founder, and $5000 for the startup.
- spydez 18y agoThey managed to weasel an extra $5000 out of YC for their (future) third founder, PG Jr.
- eugenejen 18y agotoo male centric. how about JL Jr./PG Jr.
- falsestprophet 18y agowell, their child is likely to be a boy. statistics show most hackers are male.
- eugenejen 18y agoHmm. I think the statistics says "Attractive couples have more female children". (Edit: see the "Engineers Have More Sons, Nurses Have More Daughters: An Evolutionary Psychological Extension of Baron-Cohen's Extreme Male Brain Theory of Autism and Its Empirical Implications." and "Beautiful Parents Have More Daughters: A Further Implication of the Generalized Trivers-Willard Hypothesis") Ok, we might just admit our stereotype that hackers are not that good looking. But for each individual, he/she may be a black swan. Someone may start to build a model to predict the probability distribution of genders of Leah Culver's children?
- davidw 18y agoMy wife and I had a daughter, and while my wife is certainly beautiful, I'm not sure I'd qualify:-) Your use of "Black Swan" isn't correct though, IMO, because black swan refers to things that are decidedly un bell curve like, and while most hackers probably aren't lookers, it's easy to reason that a few will be.
- eugenejen 18y agoI agree. it is incorrect. Quantitatively it is the high sigma in Gaussian distribution.
