For a second I got irrationally excited that Sam was announcing a Presidential run, then read the post. Beyond my initial excitement at a potential USPOTUS candidate I actually believe in, I'm much happier that Sam is taking over YC, where he can add much more value, and hopefully free up PG to do more thinking (writing, giving advice, etc).
- kgermino 13y agoOT: USPOTUS threw me for a loop there. :) I'm not sure how I even noticed as I was just skimming the thread but I hit that line and lost all train of thought. Must be one of those things... POTUS is "President Of The United States" so USPOTUS is redundant, but no more so than "ATM Machine" which my brain parses no problem. Sometimes its interesting to think about why we notice what we do :).
- teawithcarl 13y agoPOTYC.
- the_watcher 13y agoYea, don't know why I did that. I've never used that acronym before, must have been my brain processing POTUS as President rather than the actual acronym.
- samstave 13y agoYeah, but as POTUS, he would be able to tie in his location-based experience at Loopt with drone strikes and Jihadist check-in sniping!
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoIt's a bit early to announce 2016 campaigns. Maybe we should just stay tuned.
