Its not the first time you've been caught in a lie, dang.

But folks, this is the secret hackernews site, called BookFace. This is the site that the event happened. Its also a nice site to conspire with other YC companies and YC itself as a cohesive market 'strategy'.

And according to sam altman (sama), https://twitter.com/sama/status/631874706543480832 . Fun to read through here.. "invaluable resource in helping us work through problems and tap the YC network for advice"...

Other secrets that HN/dang/pg don't want you to know is that founders can see each other with special flairs here. Of course, conspiring on BookFace also helps too.

None of that is secret much less anything anybody "don't want you to know."

What is this "lie" you speak of? Actually, can you please list the other ones too? It's not fair to readers to make a tantalizing claim like that and then not give them enough information to make up their own minds. It's practically dripping with duck fat.

Re YC founder usernames- it can't be secret if it's in the FAQ, right? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html#yc.

None of these things are secret and to the extent you or anyone is curious about them, all you need to do is ask.

switch the letters of my username.

that's what I think of you.

Oh yes that's clear, but it's also bloody clever and you get points for that. I'm sorry if my reference seemed like a swipe; I was just trying to speak duck with you.

When people say this kind of stuff to me, I try not to take it personally because the truth is that you don't know me and I don't know you; what you're saying is not what you think of me, it's what you think of the image that you've constructed from a name plus very little information. That's not a criticism. That's just how it is on the internet.

I don’t know how you do this, dang, but I certainly wish I had your level of chill.

I think I could last about a week doing his job. Maybe a month.

I don't think $1,000,000 USD would be enough to entice me to do the job for a year. It would be too stressful.

Yeah, dang: We need to know what you drink, smoke, or inject.

Particularly the more choleric among us coughwho, me?cough could use some tips.

...also, thanks!
