Coincidentally, I had run into it recently. I wanted to ask pg the following:

- Around 12:30 you say that there is a combination of 3 things that drives hackers: 1) the desire to get rich (so they could be "free") 2) the desire to "make something" 3) the desire for "power". If that is still your observation, then how does it relate to the change in YC focus to admit a nonprofit startup? I mean, by definition, shouldn't the hackers doing a nonprofit startup give up on 1) above?
