did not mean to imply that paul graham, of all people, would not respect privacy. i was just trying to be satirical, and i guess my attempt failed.

i guess i should've said "plz chill". anyway, keep downvoting me, i can take it all day.... and you know i have a point

there's a rapper in the bay who's blowing up and he hasn't gotten a deal yet. are there any investment vehicles i can use, some kind of option contract i can offer him? the artist is HBK btw, heartbreak gang, iamsu! and loverance, etc., from the hits "swaggin" and "up!" (i beat the pussy up, up, up, up...)

Marc ensured the market expanded with his wise bet. I doubt he has any regrets. Who knows whether Instagram would have expanded unless they were motivated to get to a point of turning their backs on A16Z. $ talks.

Yep yep, the motivation is just to give back to the community, and simultaneously reward me for the stimulus initiative

We installed and used it for a week or two. It's terrible. Not cutting edge at all. Maybe good for enterprise. Slow UX.

thanks. is there any reason it is not now time to add this point of data to the application. definitely a question i as well as many others have wasted thought cycles pondering. though i do like the privilege of having access to this information.

Congrats bushi.do, sgrove and YC on the acquisition!

Kidding aside, this must feel like wonderful validation all around on the market.
