It's obvious that Thiel supports an individual that contradicts many of YC's own goals and interests?

So he's never been a partner and doesn't work "very closely with the companies." Yet he's still affiliated with YC? Actions speak louder than words: drop him or acknowledge that YC at some level acknowledges his vie

You make fair points, however the cost of living is dictated primarily by: transportation, education, housing and health costs. Has technology made these significantly cheaper for someone in poverty?

There must be a misunderstanding. I'm not saying that we shouldn't do this. I'm just hoping that Ycombinator isn't simply being reactive. Even if they are, it's better than nothing, but generally speaking, for thing

Any word on whether or not this was planned, or is this a reaction to recent events? If the latter, then I can't help but feel that this is just politically conveninent. The alternative is worse (not giving any funding), but hey, I fee

In my opinion there's no better practice than playing Typing of the Dead. If losing in a game irks you even a little you'll definitely improve your typing speed by playing if your current speed is slow. https://www.yout

It'd be great if he [did something], not if he [said something]. I think we're in agreement that it'd be great if he stopped this. However, if he just said he was going to stop it, I wouldn't believe it until it's d

Yup, that's exactly what I was referring to. I'm not sure what that has to do with "more messengers, the better", though.

I disagree. Would you be saying this if Pence wrote this post? I would imagine you'd call him out on his hypocrisy. More messengers are good only if they actually believe what they're saying.

Capitalism doesn't work when you ignore the law. Or do you really believe Uber would be where they are at now if they followed the law to the letter?

Firstly, I'd like to point out that Travis' post was spot on (I abhor Trump's policies, so the more big names speaking out against him, the better). However, is Travis really the best messenger? Is this just glorified PR or d

Why is that all of these posts saying to "take a stand" fail to explain the political process? I'll just quote myself here. If you want to help stop trump the most effective ways are to: 1. Call - Local congresspeople (ht

This attitude is scary to be honest. I assume you don't see the irony in your comment.

I hope Microsoft uses some of that profit and fixes Azure Blobs. I was hoping to use them instead of S3 for static site hosting (ended up going with Gitlab) and it doesn't support even the most basic of functionality. [1] [1] https:&#

I abhor Trump, but something about this statement irks me: > To the Trump regime, I make one request: if you ever decide that it’s the policy of the US government to deport my PhD students, then deport me first. I’m practically begging

Trust me, I'm pretty mad that Trump won. However, your post seems to be a tangent from the point I was making in the grandparent post.

What are you even talking about? 1. I completely understand that coal miners are literally losing their jobs. 2. I understand that Trump was voted in by coal miners. 3. I didn't mention Clinton, like, at all.

All of these changes that Trump is making in his first week are making me wonder: what's the population limit, really, for a well functioning democracy? I'm no historian, but didn't the United States go around saying how grea

Did you even read the article? This has nothing to do with big cities. The author explains how the development of infrastructure, notably highways changed the dynamic to sprawling suburbia and how suburban "nodes" link to the main

You make good points, but they're not super relevant to the article (if you read the article it's clear that they're not talking about big cities, nor are jobs and amenities mentioned, other than the point I mention below)

There's plenty of land in the United States. Maybe it'll sit on some of that?

Tiny homes are 150 to 250 square feet homes that that can be built anywhere from ~$20,000 to ~$50,000. The person who figures out how to mass produce these houses (each one is only about maybe the size of two RVs) for ~$10,000 will change t

I can relate to the situations you describe, but they're not going to happen. The link we're all discussing is not talking about making these schools public, free or even accessible. It talks about, more generally, whether segrega
