Please stay far away from the startup scene. You're toxic. Edit: since the downvotes from assumed sycophants are pouring in, I'm not afraid to defend my position: the story of the Groupon pump and dump is well-known here and criticism has a

Yes, because domestic spying agencies (or their controlling entities) couldn't possibly have anything to gain by increased control over the web- let's say through legislation, followed by the outcome of events like LulzSec. Edit: link to ol

Not sure where you're going with this. Care to explain?

by clobber 13y ago
Yeah, it's interesting that this whole LulzSec thing turned out to be a "false flag psyop" by the FBI. This would mean that while "Sabu" was an informant, many of the hacks performed were sanctioned by the FBI.

I agree he seems to be completely proving the parent poster's point along with the one from michaelochurch ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5678332 ).

Putting aside the fact that articles on Business Insider are extremely sensationalized, what about Youtube or Ustream? It really wouldn't take much for Youtube to implement the rest of the features Twitch has.

> only bringing in $2M a year Surprise, surprise. Startup burning through venture capital while actual 'revenue' is smoke and mirrors. We've seen this movie before.

What's your point here? It still legalizes asking for accounts and there's still room for misinterpretation.
12.
by clobber 13y ago
Strongly disagree. ANY type of legalized access to employee social media accounts is bad. Period. Yet this is what we get when we freely throw any of our personal information online.

I've tried this and so far, so good! I'm rather annoyed as it seems like a simple "housekeeping" task that OS X should have already handled. When upgrading the OS, Apple always re-hides my user Library folder and wipes out my TRIM support k

Oh yes, precisely my point rolls eyes . Since you seem to be aware of the NSA's intentions, aside from your sarcasm, perhaps you could explain the purpose of this data center: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/03/ff_nsadatacenter/ Ju

The word "entrepreneur" is getting used as a blanket term way too much to the point that anyone with an idea, CRUD app or working at a startup is an "entrepreneur."

I was more trashing the NSA's record because they ARE doing sinister shit. We just don't know 100% if Google is being forced to play along. I'd say it's really naive to think there would be public 'evidence' in the first place. You say

Absolutely commonplace. Anything is 'fair' in business and nothing is off the table when it comes to money. Even the small/local businesses do this. Just check Yelp reviews. Hell, Yelp used to allow businesses to move their best reviews to

This is an important point that will be ignored. But who cares since we can to sign into our facebooks with fiber internet, right?

Right, because principals related to OOP would clearly be useful to COBOL running legacy systems and remembering marketing acronyms are indicative of how much a programmer is going to waste time.

Are there any sites around now like a modern fuckedcompany? The current startup world is definitely missing one of those. I guess we can look forward to that new HBO comedy, Silicon Valley from Mike Judge.

I really hope so because often times the new simply model themselves after the old - then nothing changes.
