On: What Kate saw in Silicon Valley

On a side note, can someone from YC post pictures of YC office? Just curious. :)

Our frontpage has some good photos.

I am not a big fan of flash slide shows. They literally suck.

edit: One cannot control it. Move the slide show faster, slower, go back, stop, etc., which makes it time consuming and inefficient.

A vacuum cleaner literally sucks. I'm not sure how a flash slide show literally sucks.

This is how: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/literally [see "Usage note"]

Seems to me that "Usage note" can be summed up as: Often people use it wrong. This doesn't irritate most, but some people prefer the English language be used correctly.

Language is usage is language.

Although I believe there to be no "correctly," I do believe that this is a deplorable case of a word losing meaning, without a suitable replacement.

(I am so tempted to respond to this with a randomly generated list of words)

I believe this a group of pictures from the DemoDay that just happened at YC: http://demoday.fanchatter.com/

I was more curious about how the office setup is designed. How startups are allocated space, what is the interaction model between different startups, is there a white board to post story/question/idea of the day?

Your question is wrong. Startups aren't allocated space, they are independent companies. On a modal day, I see 0 people from other startups.

Wow, I had no idea you could transform the [statistical] 'mode' to the word 'modal.'

Although, honestly, it took me a moment to parse it that way, as opposed to "on a [pop-up window that you can't background] day, I see 0 people..."

"How startups are allocated space" is answered every time by pg when people call YC an incubator.
