Follow the money.

Partners at VC funds are employed (funded) by limited partners (LPs). LPs are typically institutional cash and tend to be conservative. A26Z's LPs and potential LPs would not be pleased if they saw a video of Ben giving a talk wearing his "No Bitch Ass Ness" t-shirt.

Oh god damn it. CouchSurfing.org is absolutely going to be ruined by taking VC money.

It existed for years as a totally free volunteer based non-profit. The site was kinda crappy and was sometimes slow, but it just worked. The important things were the community and its network effects.

Now these VCs will be looking for their huge exit and they'll eventually start fucking with the site (see: Quora). What a shame.

Go read about investor qualification and why taking on an unqualified investor at an early stage can hurt your company.

Hi. I recognized your name. Love this essay: http://ranprieur.com/essays/dropout.html

Are you a technology worker? I've noticed many people with critiques of civilization are into technology.

Yep. I came here to post this. UPS definitely has your credit report.

In the US, logged into my US Amazon account that is linked to a Kindle I see the price of $2,99

Keep telling yourself that. Just because we're not the audience of BCC or AR doesn't mean you're not selling something to us.

Kickback's corpus only goes back to June 2012.

Hey Patrick,

I have a question. Why is the title of your http://patrickambron.brandyourself.com/ brandyourself page "Patrick Ambron, Internet"? Specifically, why ", Internet"?

>The signups from foreign publications were pretty bad. They signed up for free at high rates, but they just don't pay (.5%). Not entirely sure why, but until we figure it out, we put people from those places on a wait list

Do you have international friendly payment methods? Regionally tiered pricing? And what do you mean by, "we put people from those places on a wait list"?

Kickstarter as a whole broke it's all time pledges yesterday taking in $3,174,820 [1]. At 5%, and if all pledges pay, Kickstarter took in $158,741. Not all pledges follow through on payment.

That is not anarchism.

What "whole anarchism thing" are you referring to?

I suspect the largest example is Android.

How does freelancing relate to consulting?

What were those starkly drawn benefits and drawbacks you discovered in your six years of freelancing?

Thanks for clarifying that, Robert.

The whatever proprietary program Apple uses in OS/X isn't cutting it for me. I spend too much time getting the windows how I want them and it's never quite right. I would like to automatically tessellate my windows as seen in the GOOMWWM. Is there a way to do that in OSX, and if so, what is this type of software called?

I'm new to (learning) programming and already need to manage windows better. I knew I had this need, but I did not know what this was called until seeing GOOMWWM's screenshots.

I'm on OSX. I typically have Firefox, Terminal, and TextWrangler open while I work through Zed Shaw's LPtHW course. What window manager should I use?
