A person who does this being "otherwise good" doesn't lessen the harm to women looking for jobs or investment. But it does go to the person's intent and overall desert of punishment.

That was still a risky move. The key (literally, one of the elements of sexual harassment) is whether the advance is welcome. I'm guessing that Bill used a lower-risk way of finding that out than sending a text message after a job interview.

It's the position of power, regardless of intent, that's the problem. It's lonely to be the boss. Don't hit on women you meet in that capacity.

That message was absolutely inappropriate. Women should be able to raise money without being hit on by investors.

My comment was in response to the idea that Dave was secretly different than his outward appearance. I don't know him, I don't know the situation. But I think otherwise good people can do things they should apologize for and stop.

I think there are both 1) sleezeballs who intentionally take advantage of their position and 2) men who don't realized what they're doing and need to use better judgement.

Without knowing details, there are at least indications in both McClure's and Sacca's pasts that they may (hopefully) be in the latter group.

And hopefully this will help both groups get smaller.

>There may be a little bias too since YC obviously has an interest in the most stable of all configurations for their startups, which is the 50/50 split (although it may not be the most fair one).

It seems this is what founders want too. If the goal is a big business and instability makes that less likely, I would optimize the equity split for effectiveness over fairness.

Thanks - and you're right, almost all of that size is the leather texture and thread images. The rest is just svg and some css tricks. Visualizing what their choices would look like together was a big problem for customers, and we were excited to solve it in the size of a large jpeg.

Your kit will ship tomorrow (well, today - Wednesday), so you should have it by the weekend!

Awesome. Thank you! We'd be really interested to hear how making the kit goes.
