to be honest I wasn't even thinking as specifically as these suggestions - not that any clear solutions occur to me either. but they should, at the very least, recognize that there is a problem that needs to be addressed. I'd like

worth noting that the HN admins often silently change submission titles so the poster wasn't necessarily responsible for this

sickening, if unsurprising, that their only recommendation is to improve the public profile of hidden services rather than make any actual attempt to address abuse. would be nice to see them adopt something other than the Reddit-naïf positi

the other aspect is that despite the whole reason for Lavabit's popularity in recent years being NSA stuff etc, their site freely admitted that they couldn't refuse to fulfil legal government data requests, but that users shouldn&

it's a real shame Disrupt carries any weight. the awful hype is one thing, but the fact that it screws over genuinely promising companies due to its grotesquely corrupt nature is a real problem

sad to hear this, great product. in a perverse way it was also nice to see an article & responses from the team that dodged the usual Valley bullshit.
