PG seems like a good guy and there doesn't seem to be evidence or allegations. He co-founded YC with a woman who he attributes a lot of the companies success to. YC did a lot for ALL founders during his stead. The point is, in a climat

I'm no Google fan, but blaming them because someone stole their property and threw it in a river is insane.

I didn't realize Quartz was incubated by Atlantic until you're comment prompted me to look into what made that interesting. As a potential reason why it may not be included I found that it (Quartz) was being shopped for sale in la

This world is getting so fucked up. We can't crucify people for "hitting on" or other somewhat tame behavior because we have nothing left to throw at the real offenders. Conversely, people benefit on both sides of the equatio

I dislike this analogy as I hold human life in a much higher regard. If you replace people with something like "property with no sentimental value" then the anology would be closer, but still imperfect. In that analogy, I would gi

I am guessing they hate the sub so much they are negatively responding to what could be a positive characterization "safe dwelling" or disputing that entirely.

I hate the point but for better or worse it's a standard. I view it sort of like tipping in the restaurant biz, "fuck it, let's let someone else pick up the slack". Stepping outside of how to change that (and there are w

No. They just created the second wave by topping HN. The client is a CA based entrepreneur likely his policy and attitude will align with people here. You now know about him. It worked and still is working.

I think it would be a merger of equals type structure so the valuation stays academic vs. a buyout. You are correct but just to add a bit more about the board, they are pretty much the largest investors. If you look at CrunchBase other than

There is no way anyone could ever profitably produce a rapidly reusable rocket. No one can make an online bank. No one can do solar profitably. No one can replace the yellow pages (Zip2 got passed on when an investor threw the yellow pages

I think it was a great PR move. I don't know the depth of the situation but if he simply said "idk if I should hire you or hit on you", then I think most people are going to read the apology coming away with the belief he is

Thanks that's I interesting. A manager pushing some odd agenda w/o much reason is expected; but if you respect him/her and observe a few other signs then it might be a life boat in disguise.

I disagree with some of the arguments but reach a similar conclusion: Google is a monopoly, is a bad actor and this ruling is not a useful solution. I think the government needs to break up the cable & telco rent companies. Conversely,

While I think net neutrality (as it is defined) is important Google is a serious consolidation risk. Gmail has 1b users the internet has 3.2-3.5. Google probably controls 2/3 of that. Not only is search quality going down, but this is
