You take whatever makes sense to you.
Most of us love technology. So why are people reacting like this?
Because we know how this will be used. We know of grifters and quick-buck schemes. We know that, unfortunately, the web as we know it is rapidly dying. We know of the scammers calling you with your loved ones' cloned voices.
We know how powerful this tech is, how easy it is, and how it will be misused.
"Oh... you do X? We funded a company _last year_ that also does X. How are you guys different?"
"Ok, I see, it is a fork. Very nice. Let me check what changes have you done"
I know most VCs never read commits, but they could have someone to check them for them. Maybe this is one of those changes Garry mentioned.
I hate what they did and how YC (not only Garry) reacted.
Let's hope these guys come out with something unique to benefit humankind. Hope is all we have left.
Sounds like: "Eh nevermind, we are going to use it anyway and BTW, I'm going to tweet 'HER' "
You don't think that will have no weight whatsoever in a lawsuit?
We will apply again.
Would someone be kind enough to review our application?
Thank you so much.

This smells fishy.
People don't care how big you are but what problems you solve for them
Now we are four people working full time in our company, but still... tiny but mighty.
I meant that HN is very popular without having an amazing user experience, specially on mobile.
