I think he was saying it was kind of a humorous contrast with YC essentially funding companies that compete in a way. The nerdy conclusion of this discussion would lead to a battle of the two platforms, one trying to install spam-ware and the other trying to prevent it...
- rdl 14y agoHeh, maybe someone should apply to YC with a traffic sniffer/intercept/password cracker system so we have someone to battle, too :)
- fennecfoxen 14y agoand both making MILLIONS! It's like some shadowy movie villian / arms dealer guy with a conspiracy to sell weapons to both sides!
- ameen 14y agoOr like the Government of United States, which supplies arms to both the Government and the Rebels.
- rdl 14y agoIn places like Afghanistan, we actually put our own troops there, pay for PMCs and local national forces, and fund the enemy (Taliban, not AQ) via our supply contracts. That's even worse than just selling guns to everyone; we pay them both and then also sell them guns.
