Have you asked yourself why you hang out on this website given how you feel about startups?
Also, is it really fair to apply such a strong statement to all startups? Look at your screen and the browser you're using, the user interface concepts, the computer itself. Where do you think those came from?
Liquid crystal displays were invented at RCA, an old radio monopoly.
>and the browser you're using
CERN, a government-funded research lab.
>the user interface concepts
SRI, a government-funded research lab, and Xerox, an old copier monopoly.
>the computer itself
ENIAC was a US Army project.
Maybe they just like technology.
The HN guidelines cover what topics are relevant to submit as new posts here, and cover civility and usefulness of comments. That seems good enough.
I hate *working for* startups. It's fun when your young, not when you have bills.
