I am a pretty big fan of Elon, I’ll explain how I think about it. To me, it’s not about being a CEO, it is about rooting for a visionary. I want Elon, and his missions via various business ventures, to succeed. The success of an actor, athl

Yea he’ll join all the other billionaires in jail. I would say he looks pretty guilty of fraud but agree he will never see a cell, just heavy fines. And spaceX may survive without him but losing musk would suck a ton of wind out of their sa

Lived in CA my whole 30 years and your last few sentences were on the money. I wish I could say the state government was a good “value” for what we pay for it. Not there yet unfortunately

Agreed. Can't wait to live in a world where CEOs can control themselves and refrain from cracking a quick joke on April Fools Day .

I agree and if you have a partner/second income, it would seem even more achievable to me

Interesting point. I think his punhishments may be just, the real injustice is that other white collar criminals are not punished with the same tenacity as Shkrelli.

Compensation for the psychological harm you've caused the teller as well as the law enforcement resources who were dispatched to the scene? Whether I'm right or wrong is irrelevant... at a certain point, these tangents don't

Assuming they meant irrational because no rational person could turn down 4bn offer as they stated. My belief is that is a very shallow way to judge one's rationality.

The surprise to me is the craziness of that valuation to begin with. And if they were able to make "fundamental changes", why wouldn't they have done it by now? Seems like the path to change will be more difficult with the lo

Interesting question. My take would be that software engineers may tend to be more publicly open about their mistakes and pitfalls in an effort to help those who come next avoid the same mistakes. This is especially true regarding technical

That was my biggest question from the post as well. Maybe I'm missing their "big picture" but that sounds a little too good to be true.

> we just think this is important and interesting. Not trying to kiss ass here but it's this type of thinking that sets YC well above the rest, IMO.

So what? As an LP, they made the choice to let someone else actively manage their money. Part of the risk/reward trade-off when using VC as an investment vehicle.

Id just like to say that I really like the design of your site, and logo in particular. Well done.

It could be easily argued that the promise of bitcoin (blockchain) will contribute way more to the betterment of humanity than anything ZenPayroll will ever do (I like ZenPayroll, don't get me wrong). But regarding bitcoin, the argum

Hey Sam, I think it would be beneficial to explain these different areas of YC a bit clearer on the website as right now everything still seems very focused on core. Just a suggestion.

I've always wondered about this as well. Heavy investments in new cities, when there was no demand for them, just for the sake of "increased growth" was always a red flag to me. Interested in any correlation.

I think you missed the first point... the other comment never states that only Chinese firms can serve Chinese customers at all. He/she was more in agreeance with your point about chinese firms not needing to operate outside of china b

I don't think it would require any conscious effort on the end user, the remaining char counter would handle all of this for them so adoption is painless

I believe it's less about criticism and more about a hate of being misunderstood. But I agree that there is a majority who really appreciate his insights (I'm definitely one of them).

The semantics are relevant though as it highlights the sentiment I'm trying trying to shed light on in my original comment.

This: > A person in their 20's knows nothing, but thinks they've outsmarted the world... Is a dangerous and gross generalization. I totally agree with the changing of perspectives point, but feel that this community has a very

I don't think this would help at all because 1) most people are not interested in making their own self-driving car and 2) the small niche who is interested isn't going to worry about following the laws, as Hotz states in the

This whole: "Twenty year olds don't know shit but 30 year olds are so enlightened" sentiment needs to stop. I agree that many younger people think they understand more than they do but that's just part of growing up an

not seeing how/where this refutes the OPs claim. Can you be more specific?

I would definitely set up 301 redirects to get the user to the new domain but from for concerns purely about duplicate content, the canonical tags should be sufficient enough to prevent page rank damage.

As a user, I've always found it incredibly confusing, unclear, and frustrating.
