My question, how many of those companies funded by YC have been caught doing things we don't like, such as dark patterns, data collection, and more? I can already think of two companies off the top of my head. It's pretty much a given fact on this planet you don't get huge valuations and money unless you're about to violate someone's privacy and sanctity.<p>"Speaking of San Francisco, we are considering moving YC to the city and are currently looking for space. The center of gravity for new startups has clearly shifted over the past five years, and although we love our space in Mountain View, we are rethinking whether the logistical tradeoff is worth it, especially given how difficult the commute has become. We also want to be closer to our Bay Area alumni, who disproportionately live and work in San Francisco."<p>Telecommuting works just fine for me when it comes to designing, prototyping, and testing actual physical products with companies around the world, from LEDs to solar panels to remotely-controlled hydroponics facilities - why can't you do the same with your primarily software and speaking stuff?
