Nearly a decade ago, there was a website called thehunt.com that basically ran out of money and some employees were acqui-hired by pinterest. All of the assets were left to rot and at the time the company was a good match for another startu

I talked at length with theo about this here if anyone wants a catch up from the very start https://youtu.be/u-KCKEWMt-Q?t=774 Cliffnotes- This is a absolutely insane situation but matt has come out looking insanely bad imo

I believe that disabling core isolation and bitlocker will also give a 2-3% gain as well. Not worth it though for the security loss.

Far more likely is Google was not willing to complete the deal and was pulling the plug after looking at internal data. Wiz, fearing the bad press of Google backing out rushes to tell journalists that THEY are walking away because they are

The destruction of synapse is because of one thing: They were way, way too reliant on mercury, who was there far and away largest client. Mercury woke up one day, chose violence and left synapse to work directly with evolve. The whole thing

Just another read to mass delete your Slack DM's before you quit your job/move to another job. https://redact.dev (my startup) makes this easy.

All the existing databroker remover tools are flawed because they make use of manual labor to remove you from sites, primarily done by people in third world countries. We @ https://redact.dev are working on a pure software mecha

We are working on a fully local version of this @ https://redact.dev - Beta should be out within a month or so. Huge (obvious) advantages for doing it locally

Id get into this debate, but its been done a million times before. Heres the cliffnotes of how it goes though, roughly: * So is minimum wage ok then? * Why cant a minimum wage person invest all their money into a startup? Why do they have t

You can trust them only as much as you think they have self interest in not being sued for doing something nefarious. That said, they could very easily have a data breach and every customers full info would then be out in the wild. Were no

I am not OK with supporting someone getting paid 2-3 dollars a day for this labor and would prefer to not support that business model if I can. I also dont trust those workers not to misuse or sell my information on the side because of the

The big thing to know is the following: Google yourself - See what shows up that shouldnt. Go through those sites and manually opt out. Its not too hard and you get the biggest offenders. Yes, you can use a automated service to do this for

Technically speaking, Beeper can keep working for a long time. That is, Until apple starts checking if the client is on a official apple device. This may or may not be feasible for Apple to implement, mostly depending on if they even have t

This is a 1 dimensional view of things. Maybe I can simplify it for you with this question: Does Google have the ability to legally compel you to only use chrome? Im guessing you would say no- Antitrust and whatnot. So the next followup is,

Its great that Microsoft has teams- but nothing to do with skype as a consumer front-facing product. Years ago, Skype was the de-facto solution for video calls and video meetings. There was no zoom, there was no google meet. Skype was so kn

How much they paid for Mint vs CK has little bearing. Google bought youtube for 1.6b and Motorola for 12b (later sold for 3b) - Which would you rather focus on today? I dont disagree Mints revenue is not enough currently, but thats the issu

The fact that this is being shut down vs being sold or at least integrated deeply in credit karma speaks so poorly for the intuit management I am not even sure what to say. The app has to be capable of generating millions a month in revenue

We have a very strong freedom of speech in this country, to the point its kinda insane. (See the citizens united ruling for instance) So, yes. We cant imagine it because basically the government has extremely, extremely limited ability to c

Some things to note, unless the bill was modified from the version I read before being signed into law: This doesnt apply to any information which is public record as a matter-of-fact. So if you voted, your address and name is public record

Is this a whitelabeled version of saymine? Seems like the same type of service. For what its worth, I think you need to go much farther than this. Saying "delete my account" does not do what you think it does for the vast majority

You could have no auto-update functionality, and that would go a long way. But then, you are severely crippling your product by doing that. Releasing clientside sourcecode doesnt mean much if the NSA forces you to give everyone else a diffe

Sigh. As someone who is making a company in the privacy space, I hate when privacy products make huge claims like this. Another big offender is proton mail. They may not be able to track your stuff as it is today, but one single FISA order

The potential for intel to explode is definitely there if intel executes with its AI demand. I suppose one unknown catalyst with intel is what happens in taiwan/china. If things get crazy over there, suddenly intel seems alot more valu
