On: YC’s $500k Standard Deal

[badcede]

I love the comments saying that giving $500k instead of $125k will make things worse. Clearly YC should have made things better instead, by giving less!

Why stop there though? If YC really cared about founders, they'd give them nothing. Better yet, make them pay - now that would have been helpful! But no. Clearly YC doesn't care about founders.

YC really ought to stop making things worse for founders like this. I mean how dare they.

When I read articles like this, it seems to me that they are studying not evolution, nor animals, but computers.

These are really software projects. It is a chunk of the world that software has eaten, without it having much been recognized.
