There should be a union for YC startups, to prevent them from being exploited so badly. By the time the startup meat grinder eventually peters out, the founders own almost nothing of a fairly worthless company and the employees even less. M

Their diplomas were not revoked for being pro-Palestine, they were revoked for seizing a building, trespassing and vandalism. That's a false equivalence to what is happening in Turkey.

No, you're not a cynic. The EFF takes exquisite pains to hide from you the fact that these programs spied on foreigners, which is the job of the NSA. Thus, they are necessary and proper, and perfectly legal. The EFF is a propaganda pla

The NSA’s Upstream program primarily targeted foreign communications under the authority of Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act. However, it also incidentally collected data from U.S. citizens, particularly when their communications were

YC has been exploiting naive founders for 20 years. Congrats everyone.

Laws are designed to have an effect, that is their purpose. However, the changes did not live up to the hysteria. Most of the doomsday predictions were so embarrassing in retrospect that the original articles have since been taken down.

The CDA, COPPA, DMCA, GDPR and copyright directives were all predicted (hysterically) to destroy the Internet. Oops, it still exists.

Several very talented rocket designers have since left SpaceX. They might have succeeded regardless (or despite) of the development methodology. It doesn’t mean the methodology was a good one. And even if it was, the level of Elon meddling

I’ve heard this argument and seen the pearl clutching about every Internet bill that has ever been considered. They whip Internet activists into a frenzy. None of it has borne out once the bills have become law. It’s Chicken Little every ti

No vaccine is 100% effective, so these outbreaks also hurt people who have made good choices, albeit at a much lower rate.

Yes, one London doctor’s unethical self-dealing in ReLEX SMILE left higher order aberrations (HOAs) in my eyes.

It is much harder to steal gold than crypto. Crypto prices are volatile, and they depend on sophisticated computing infrastructure to work that may not exist after a catastrophe. Crypto depends on 51% consensus (which can be attacked by for

Mars lies just at the edge of the asteroid belt. There is plenty of gold in the belt. But to state the obvious: the Martians can keep their gold in Earth banks, just like Russia used to keep its gold in UK and Swiss banks. Many European cou

On GitHub, GNU licenses (a.k.a. "Free Software") have only 22% share. The vast majority of OSS software created these days is licensed under Apache/MIT/BSD, not GNU. Free software is increasingly unpopular, to the point

It sounds like Sergey is going to cause another exodus of talented employees to their own AI startups. Why anyone with talent would work at Google these days is beyond me.

Housing destroys the environment, uglifies the world, and a generation later, housing is just as expensive as it was before. Why? Because humans breed and overrun their habitats. Housing costs keep neighborhoods livable and the population f

This company will fail. Most likely it will be a huge opportunity cost for the founders and set them back financially by a huge chunk. I hope it will be a good time. Spend some YV funds on a keg.

"The only time someone can control all the media is if the market is highly regulated." That's not true at all. Someone can simply buy all the media, and the free market will not correct that as long as that person has the we

YC doesn’t vet. It’s a sweatshop for startups. They need volume. For this reason, YC cohorts have always been full of wankers. Er, “wantrepreneurs”.
