- thulecitizen 7y agoSometimes I really wonder who is on hackernews that stuff like this gets downvoted. Apparently a healthy dose of (scientific) skepticism means one is being ‘rude’ in SV circles. I guess the intellectual-property-rentier industrial complex that is Silicon Valley doesn’t like people looking behind the curtains.
- flyingcroissant 7y agoThe implication of saying they “crumbled” to the “social pressure” is that it’s bad to take clear feedback from your user base. It doesn’t make any sense.

- tomhoward 7y agoIt's not downvoted, now. Yep, no doubt it was when you commented, but an unfairly downvoted state on a comment usually corrects fairly quickly, which is one of the reasons why the guidelines ask us not to complain about it.
- floatingatoll 7y agoIt's also possible they didn't listen to their app over the wire and see it doing this. What lesson could we teach about "why you should mitmproxy your app while it's in development?", so that people can start uncovering this in other apps — including their own?
