Found it interesting that even before people apply they need to mention "Only founders can come to interviews if invited or attend batch events if accepted." I can imagine YC has had a ton of problems with everyone wanting to see

YCF is an awesome move guys. Stays true to the funding of a good team/idea philosophy YC began with.

What does it mean by saying "got their start with us"? I believe many companies have been around for awhile before YC. Many already with revenue, traction and funds raised (although this might be the exception to the rule?).

Anyone know of any more beginner friendly cryptography materials?

Sounds about right

Many people believed Satoshi's 1M coins were lost or inaccessible. Now with the possibility of these coins being available - this could have big implications. Will be fun to follow these coins. I hope someone makes a Santa Tracker for

What was the company culture like? We hear about a lot of bad but obviously there had to be some good things going on to work there.

This is interesting - "Mr. Karpelès hasn’t been formally charged. In Japan, suspects can be detained for up to 23 days without a formal charge or the possibility of bail."

Agreed - The US is way too laissez-faire to get into that kind of nonsense

With this much funding can Lyft survive? Uber and Lyft have to be hemorrhaging a ton of money so maybe Uber will be able to out last them?

Bubble or not - seems a little self interested to release this blog post the day YC's latest batch is judged and valued (Demo Day). The last part "The loser donates $100,000 to a charity of the winner’s choice" is pretty bada

If keeping the family aspect is an important goal, why not stay on a smaller scale? Why feel the need to go to 100+ per batch? With your metaphor of being Mom, can you know the names of 2000+ children?
