I've had a setup like this since the start of covid and it's what inspired me to seed https://opalcamera.com/ (because they built a pro-sumer webcam for $300)

I got you - use my code: ALEXISVIP

This is exciting. Who's next to list on LTSE???

I want more stories from Loopt. It was ahead of its time and I know he learned a lot from his time as a startup CEO (before joining YC) that we rarely hear about.

Your citation is fake news; that footage is after I first saw her.

This is the moment when I first saw her: https://www.instagram.com/p/BP09-HFA-mb/

I wish you had the courage to re-post your previous comment. But more to the point -- this is Hacker News in 2018?

I would love to know this, but also how often VC firms build their own tech to improve their daily processes and workflow, as well as develop their community of founders.

And we ship. It's hard to unlearn solving problems via software when you've done it, especially at scale successfully, and it makes everyone at the org (and soon in the founder network) more effective and frankly happier doing their jobs.

I wrote about this Guilded update for the Initialized blog, because I'm so enamored with this product that probably would have saved me from needing to learn a lot of HTML two decades ago. It did serve me well, though... but I'd have rather been playing Q2CTF

Thank you, staunch. I'm excited to be focusing on seed stage investing again with Garry and the team. This is an amazing opportunity for us.

Yes. The team has started making some good improvements to self serve, though, and it'll keep getting better.

I'd argue the reason we thrived was because we knew we had to be a platform for communities (subreddits) from the beginning. No single frontpage can be home for everyone, but tens of thousands of communities on a common platform, can scale forever.

Slashdot was definitely the OG, though. Got to meet CmdrTaco at a talk I gave a little while ago and tell him thanks for everything he did to inspire us at Reddit.

That woman is a redditor and actually chimed in on the reddit thread in the TIL community earlier today: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/2al3cv/til_t...

Wanna AMA about the founding of reddit? Go for it.

Aww, thanks. Responding to each and every feedback email was something Steve + I took very very seriously. If only we'd had Front back then ;)

FWIW there's also a great community of gamedevs at http://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev

That said, the more of these, the better!

Hopefully they'll take advantage of reddit's open source and use our commenting system as a model.

heh, we're a rather diverse & cosmopolitan city!

Yes! The awesome DogecoinFoundation Shibes hooked this up!

If you'd like to donate using Dogecoin, you can do so here: D5gFxHPMRz4W6xYs8moWhgPMPoUycCABBa (over 10,020 DOGE raised so far!)

I'm donating my 31st birthday to this great org. Donating $150 will get you a signed copy of Without Their Permission and I'll take the highest donor out to lunch in Queens.

This is simply baseless.

I'm very proudly the non-technical founder of reddit, which I've always been very frank about. I've got citations galore. Drafting the blog post right now.

Senator from New York, eh? I am 30....

Thank you.

Finally I get to share a headline with Tyra Banks.

We have a feed from our google analytics at http://reddit.com/about

Jessica is the reason Steve + I got into Y Combinator. It was her decision to give us a second chance after we were rejected (reddit would end up being one of the first breakout hits from YC).

I wouldn't have just told Charlie Rose "All Hail Jessica Livingston" if her role were just "founder relations" -- without going into the roles all the partners (male and female alike) play in YC, that simplification is way off.

What great timing. BTW, thanks to all of you who backed my crowdtilt to bring BlackGirlsCode to Brooklyn! https://www.crowdtilt.com/campaigns/no-sleep-till-brooklyn-f...

>The problem is, they tend to always be ran by the majority group to try to "give a helping hand" to the minority group. It's kind of a patronizing position. I didn't need a "helping hand" to become a programmer, and women are smart enough that they don't need a "helping hand" either. And they won't want it.

I'm a white guy from Brooklyn who's been successful in tech -- I'm not running this organization, I'm just doing a crowdtilt fundraiser for it.

Duly noted. Thanks! (Added)

Yes to all of the above.

Every bit helps. I'm trying my best not to use that starfish cliche....
