I agree with you mostly. Although you are right that most people who steal phones probably would not to do this, thieves and others are becoming more aware. Thieves have friends too and some are even technical, especially people who specifi

While I agree with you, at least in part a few problems here as mentioned by the previous replies. As far as N0tch, I think that's a bad person to compare yourself against. While I can respect what he achieved and envy his good luck, h

I really also have to question the attitude of the founders. I found a lot of the quotes out there about this product insulting. "Building the backend, however, is like stacking wine glasses: it’s not that hard, but if you make a mista

I don't normally comment here, but I'll bite on this one. ;tldr - I find the goal and customers here confusing, questionable, and not well thought-out. Additionally I find the founders insulting and naive in the article. I still d
