I am very happy that there's a transcript. But I just spent two minutes trying to figure out how to cut and paste it into a textfile (Scribd won't let me download it without signing up).

My request to YC is to publish transcripts like this as text.

Agreed, it's really excessive to take simple text content and trap it within a PDF that's then trapped inside Scribd, which requires a Scribd account and login to download.

Scribd is a YC company. What you're experiencing is called "growth hacking".

When i stumble upon it from time to time, scribd is the strange thing that wants to stand between me and information. This is very annoying.
