“I’m delighted to announce #PeterThiel is joining #YC as one of the (now 10!) part-time partners.

In addition to founding #PayPal and #Palantir and being the first investor in #Facebook, Peter has been involved with many of the most important #technology companies of the last 15 years, both personally and through #FoundersFund, and the founders of those companies will generally tell you he has been their best source of #strategic #advice.” — Sam Altman, 2015.

Compare the sign on blog post (Altman) to the tweet (pg as shown).

When you take capital from #Thiel, then only realise a decade later it wasn’t a good idea. At the time when this was announced I thought, “Oh shit #PG, don’t do it”. Then history.

It’s the lure of capital. You get covered in the deeds of these shitty founders (Thiel) and you have to back track, knowing it was blood money.

Mechanize, an AI startup that launched Thursday via a post on X, declared its goal of “the full automation of all work” and the “full automation of the economy.” The company’s founder argues this will actually enrich humans. It’s out there, so you might as well read about it. @Techcrunch has more:

Enorm bezuinigen op onderwijs, maar wel aandeelhouders spekken: rijksoverheid.nl/actueel/nieuw.

Want startups zijn zóó belangrijk voor Nederland! Zoals deze (van Ronald Plasterk): businessinsider.nl/farmabedrij.

"Uit internationaal vergelijkend onderzoek is gebleken dat Nederland op deze punten nu nog uit de pas loopt" - ik ken er veel meer...

Als u (voorgelogen of de leugens waarderende) "rechts" gestemd heeft: geen dank daarvoor.

In recent years, focus on career and delayed marriage age is driving some women to consider preserving their fertility through egg freezing. The steep cost, however, is out of reach for some. Here’s where Cofertility, a startup founded by former Uber exec Lauren Makler and health tech investor Halle Tecco, provides an option. Read about it at @Techcrunch:

"The problem is that governments and businesses serve vastly different purposes. If public policymakers start mimicking business founders, they will undermine their own ability to address complex societal challenges.

For startups, the highest priority is rapid iteration, technology-driven disruption, and financial returns for investors. Their success often hinges on solving a narrowly defined problem with a single product, or within a single organization. Governments, by contrast, must tackle complex, interconnected issues like poverty, public health, and national security. Each challenge calls for collaboration across multiple sectors, and careful long-term planning. The idea of securing short-term gains in any of these areas doesn’t even make sense.

Unlike startups, governments are supposed to uphold legal mandates, ensure the provision of essential services, and enforce equal treatment under the law – more important today than ever. Metrics like market share are irrelevant, because the government has no competitors. Rather than trying to “win,” it should focus on expanding opportunities and promoting the diffusion of best practices. It must be long-term minded, while achieving nimble and flexible structures that can adapt."
