If your execs prevent your employees from interacting with the board of directors, their only option is to go public to get the board and investors' attention. Brian only wants this to stay internal because he can control the narrative

Coinbase followed suit and Brian heavily praised DHH for it on Twitter.

Just curious. Does your legal agreement allow you to share details about a customer's technical implementation, support tickets, and billing history to Hacker News?

Brian, the only damage control you should be doing now is apologizing profusely to everyone for trying to manipulate this community. You spun a very sad story and left out incredibly crucial facts that did not serve you. That is simply un

Ah, someone here doesn't like my opinion and thusly is downvoting every comment I've ever made. It's been quite a while since I was around HN, but I'm very disappointed. Is suggesting that perhaps letting a Judge decide these legal matters

How about we let a court decide whether or not this is Trademark infringement instead.

I think that you decided to join the Internet Hate Machine before you knew all the facts, and now you're finding it difficult to admit to yourself that you were taken by a good story.

So we should believe what he says in public instead of what he says in private? Lets be honest here. He's lying. It doesn't matter which statement is a lie. That is a massive statement of his character.

Your friend appears to have lied by omitting key parts of the story. I'm wondering if he now has to worry about a defamation suit. https://whoshere.zendesk.com/entries/21514943-the-other-side...

You might do well to wait for both sides of the story before lighting your pitchfork and calling to "rake these fuckers over the coals". Because looking at some of Brian Hamachek's emails to WhosHere, it appears you've been had by an untrut

Jesus, the Internet Hate Machine is brutal. You haven't heard the other side of the story and you already want to BOMB them? The guy you're willing to BOMB other people for said to them, and I quote, "I was born wealthy; I have an obscene t

He also didn't mention that he tried to sell his app to them 2 years ago. Or that they made him an extremely generous offer this year.

I continue to be amazed that folks continue to claim a rich man with a published book who makes the rounds on cable news networks is somehow being "censored" by virtue of his mediocre talk not being highlighted by an independent foundation.

A small correction. These are Google's customers. Facebook is the one trying to steal them away.

One humble suggestion? Perhaps we would finally save some money by cutting our gargantuan military costs spent defending the rich person's interests.

Warehoused? How do we prevent them from leaving the warehouse? Maybe we need some fences and armed guards. And now that we've prevented them from leaving, how do we keep them from fighting and misbehaving? Maybe we put them all in separate

So our choice is give the rich what they want, or they'll leave? Lacking a more compelling argument, I'll be the first at the airport to wave them off...

You aren't very familiar with the lifestyles of the modern rich. Their social circles are other rich people, not tied to a single location. This is the kind of wealth that can check in to any hotel at a moment's notice, and maintain any num

Myself, and my circle of friends, use Groupon and none of us could be accurately described as "coupon chasers". Frankly, articles like this come off sounding angry, jealous, and ignorant.

You realize that your Gym, not Groupon, decided to issue too many coupons that resulted in the hypothetical crowding situation? That is your Gym's fault.
