It's easier to comment on something specific when you disagree than when you agree but that leaves a very critical trail after a while. Since I've been critical of Sam's airbnb position and expressed a lot of concern over the amount of power a VC would have in the "founder visa" posts in the past, I would like to chime in to say that YC Research is an intriguing and exciting development with a lot of money behind it. This has the potential to be pretty great.
