somewhat unrelated: This is YC's mission statement: "Y Combinator provides seed funding for startups. Seed funding is the earliest stage of venture funding. It pays your expenses while you’re getting started."

I'm glad that you noted this in the comments, but I think it'd be helpful to see it in the blog post. Any chance for an edit?

It would be awesome if we lived in a world where VCs, investors, and the tech industry in general just invested in people who deserve it. But we're so far from that world right now (just google vc investment in women-founded cos). I th

Violence is an output, a symptom of something else. Punishing a violent offender with violence (imprisonment etc) is just a form of reifying that behavior. Alternative treatment of violence is not the same as saying there are "no conse

I would love for the day to come when things like this launch and I hit command F "she" or "her" and it doesn't come up empty.

neat! this is such a great idea. I think there was someone else trying this as well but your setup is a lot more streamlined for non-techies out there.

I'm having a hard time understanding how this is worth it compared to Xero and their rule-based functions. It's really easy for Xero to learn just the same as a person (if not better). Am I missing something?

Amazon will do about 50% of online sales this year. Regardless of whether it's marketplace or not, it means that they see 50% of online sales in the US. If you think Amazon is competing on just "goods sold" then yes, at this

I don't think financial security is as tied to your independent actions as you seem to think. No matter how frugal you are, the best option for financial security is investing in the infrastructure and community you live in. I don&#x27

The first rule is to inherent the money. The second is to be born into a network that benefits you and doesn't punish you arbitrarily. The third rule is to profit from a strong public infrastructure, and then once you've achieved

The notion of "a fundamental right to housing" isn't about "where cool restaurants are." It's a starting point and a framework for how you solve the problem. There are complications that we definitely have to f

Mental health is one reason why people are homeless but it's not the only one. The reasons you're bringing up are strawmen at best. The people who are homeless or on the brink of homelessness are not complaining about artisanal fo

ok thanks that is way more informative of what they're trying to do. It's shotgunning, but with a relative blind eye to traditional personal network signifiers.

thanks, that definitely makes it easier to understand!

I don't get what this does or how it does it. It sounds like they have some mumbojumbo machine that decides who to dole out cash to and how much, but that's unclear. Capital As A Service is, by definition, what VC is. You give cap

Just a quick update to note that we are on the Stripe "Works With" page but that that isn't an official "endorsement" by Stripe in any way. That word was probably too strong. The rest of it is 100% true though.

We're predominately helping merchants with 100+ cbs a month, so automation speeds things up. When you are processing as many cbs per month as us, you learn a lot about how to represent the dispute. We pass those learnings on to our cus

This article, a puff piece about Rodin (which, really, do we need more of that, 100+ years later?) fails to acknowledge that Camille Claudel was intricately part of Rodin's success and artistic breakthroughs. Some argue that she may ha

This is such a weird content piece from YC. Is this supposed to help us understand brand marketing? If so, I want to hear from people who have piloted the brands of massively successful startups, not a guy who says he's head of a cult.

Your replies telegraphed not curiosity or interest but just standard internet "source?" flame posts. It's not hard to google any element of what I'm saying to read countless articles in Poynter, NYT, CRJ etc to find stuf
