YC is very ethical. I actually saw a couple of the VC's giving out sandwiches in bags to all the homeless. Inside the sandwiches were monitoring chips from a new W26 startup batch. Innovative as always

Ethics?
From the VC cabal that brought you Flock's pre-crime police state AI tax syphon?

I come to HN because there are absolutely wonderful discussions in the threads. Not always, not consistently, but often... the sort of conversations (even sometimes arguments) that leave me feeling energized, better informed, and/or fired up over some new project or technology I'd never heard of before.
That said, equally often I feel like a hermit who limps into town every couple weeks, wild-eyed and twitchy, and listens to other people's conversations, smiles and nods, maybe says something friendly and innocuous, and then I notice that there's a circle of people gambling on street-fighting urchins or chanting "ass-to-ass" at some degrading sideshow, and I have to haul my ass back out to the sticks before I'm found out and my blood is ceremonially drained to inaugurate some hellish techbro kegger 'n' orgy.

This is fiduciary responsibility morality. It cannot be otherwise.*
