O. I forgot to mention that–it was also a test to see how a reddit-comment would fare. Mixed results–but I'd say HN has fallen, considering only one person attacked me for it.

A little snarky, yes. Naming a development team 'Milk' is like naming an iPhone app 'Color'.

I got laughed at right before our YC W11 interview for my 'sepia-tinted screen'. I live on the east coast, and my clock hadn't changed cause I was still tethering.

What real capital costs changed between the $14 million they were getting before Sequoia and when they got $41 million total including Sequoia?

They're surprised by the language Apple used, not Apple's insistence. But I guess being accurate would make for a less sensational blog post.
>And how can they claim that Readability isn’t “serving up content”? That’s exactly what Readability does.
It doesn't serve up unique content, and it doesn't serve up its own content (eg NY Times, USA Today). In that sense, it doesn't serve up content. But I guess not saying that would result in a less-sensational blog post.
> Readability needs Apple to publish an app in the App Store. Apple doesn’t need Readability.
They don't need Readability. But they do need TinyGrab, Readability, et al. But I guess not making broad generalizations wouldn't make for a sensational blog post.

I like your essay, but you're way off-base in your latest analysis of Paul Graham's essay. Your conclusion that 'Paul Graham's wrong on the value of a hacker culture (sadly)' can be contradicted with a single word. Software.
You make a great argument, but Apple is not in the software business.
