Thanks! Of course, the reason I ask is because the site design was beautiful and was curious about how a few things were done. Best of luck with accredible!

(Slightly offtopic -- but could you actually say a little about the accredible.com site itself for a moment? Was it constructed using Zurb's Foundation?)

Why. Why must you do this. Why must you dismiss articles on hackneyed grounds and kill the chance for an interesting discussion about the nature and direction of social technologies. I thought this article was very interesting, it brought t

Ahh, so these startups are not totally accepted, they're just the ones to get through the first part of the process. Sorry I misunderstood. Thanks for answering.

Woah! Very interesting variety. I was expecting all Germany, UK, Ireland, etc. but this is much more interesting than that. On a separate note: I want to say kudos to pg & the team for doing this. pg found himself in hot waters when h

Also, can you please say 22 out of how many ? (that is, what is the total number of accepted startups?) Additionally: 22 seems like a big number. Almost as if this time around the YC partners sat together and said "hey, let's try

In the past you've said that investors need to be able to see startup founders face to face ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6850199 ), so how will arrangements work out with this batch? Are the founders going to b

That just really rubs me the wrong way. On one hand we see the tech community being berated by lots of people for being "misogynistic" and un-inclusive, and then on the other hand we have VCs putting millions on people who say thi

Or simply, ignorance of the fact that there's real opportunity there. How would an unemployed person find out such a thing? His nearest social circle would likely not know such a thing, and this is not the sort of thing you randomly fi

I'm guessing probably because the secular crowd doesn't ascribe so much power significance to sexual matters. They don't see a girl being forced to do sex work (of any variety) as having been exploited in any way. What's

Why do you feel the need to diminish a counter viewpoint (however misguided it may be) in such a confrontational way? By reducing it to a buzzwordy opponent identity, you've pretty much nullified any chance of constructive discussion t

Since it was operated by nickb, why're you asking pg to bring it back? And, whatever did happen to nickb? Is anyone still in contact with him? Is he doing okay?

That was the impression I got from some idle IRC chat, but after checking for myself I can find no concrete evidence verifying if he's parted ways with Strongloop or not.
