Great deck. Congrats on your success. I briefly met your sister in a ruby class a couple of years ago and was impressed by the work ethic both of you displayed. Could you talk more about how you got from "nobody cares" to the fi

One of the opportunities in SaaS we see at Vendorsi is the chance for small enterprise vendors to be more easily, and less expensively found by other SMBs. Because we don't charge vendors, and instead charge buyers a subscription, we

PG, Is 1000 Karma a major threshold? How many people does this mean? like 100 people, 10,000 people? Just curious about the sample size if you can reveal it.

Gotta say, Sam, I'm finding hope in my cynical old heart. What I liked: Listening, and acknowledging there is a problem, is an excellent first start. That's progress for YC, which up until now seemed to have its head in the sand.

Where is your data that programmers are second class citizens in the VC funded startup world? That may have been true a decade ago, but one would be hard pressed to argue that now, especially in light of the NVCA's own data. The irony

I stopped reading when I saw the photo. You don't think anyone but white guys can be salespeople? I'm just curious why you'd choose such an image, especially given the fire Y Combinator is under for systematically excluding a

I'm not a programmer, but...I would want to work with this programmer in a heart beat. Smart, respectful, strong boundaries but not a jerk. A lot to learn from him for everyone on Hacker News, not just the devs. Congrats to him on th

Louis CK, to the best of my knowledge, is not considered a racist. I would not be the best judge of that as a white person, and when I am, I look to my black friends to tell me. I don't make them "explain" it to me. I just

again, you're incapable of recognizing these are two entirely different situations? Ok, here's what you sound like. People complained my shit stinks when I shit in the bathroom. People complained when I took a shit on my grandmoth

Just because your best friend is a woman doesn't mean you're incapable of being a sexist. For example, she might be one of those women who enforce some pretty crappy old patriarchial shit. I have no idea. But it's not evide

I'm confused. Are you are unable, or unwilling to discriminate between a woman wanting to be hit on in a social situation; and not willing to be harassed or discriminated against in a professional context?

Why do you feel the need to determine whether I'm a troll or not? I'm tired of hearing the same old excuses for discrimination, namely "pattern matching." It's bullshit. It's everywhere on this thread as it so

If you can override the animal instincts to kill other humans, why is it so hard to override your thoughts and just treat all other humans with the same respect you'd give your best friend, at least until you see a valid reason not to

Working backwards: Throwing around the word rational on hacker news is a bit misleading, don't you think? The original comments reek of irrationality and bias. Also, "irrational" is a word men love to throw at women when t

Nope, I'm a normal person who gets upset occasionally, and most of the time doesn't bother. I've seen a lot of this for many, many years, and sometimes, I just feel the need to get involved. Then I get back to work. I wish

The pattern matching itself isn't the problem, indeed. It's the apparent lack of some men, usually white men to override it and take a more charitable view of their fellow human beings. For some reason those same men cry out for &
