"The choice before Altman is not a complicated one, though. He can continue to lead Y Combinator with Thiel as a part-time partner, thereby giving Thiel, and thus Trump, the imprimatur of the company’s reputation. He can ask Thiel to resign. Or he can resign from Y Combinator."

Regardless of your political leanings, I hope we can all agree that this is a ridiculous proposition.

Who is next? If Sam Altman goes to a bar and the waiter doesn't refuse to serve him, should the waiter get fired too?
What about HN readers? Should we be fired for browsing a website run by an organization that blatantly allows part-time advisors to have personal political views?
