The "social engineering" is that I was invited to a demo back in October and thought it was really interesting.
(Two people who's opinions I respect said "yeah you really should accept that invitation" otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone.)
I've been looking forward to being able to write more details about what they're doing ever since.
- ares623 9mo agoI will look forward to that blog post then, hopefully it has more details than this one. EDIT nvm just saw your other comment.
- ucirello 9mo agoJustin never invites me in when he brings the cool folks in! Dang it...
- oidar 9mo agoIs this the black box folks you mentioned?
- simonw 9mo agoIt's the dark factory people, yeah: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46739117#46801848 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46739117#46801848
- shimman 9mo agoYou don't see why a company would gain to invite bloggers that will happily write positively about them? Talk about a conflict of interest, the FTC should ban companies from doing this.
- simonw 9mo agoAre you saying that because I have a blog I should be banned from going to meetings or demos of anything, for any reason?
- enraged_camel 9mo agoThis reads like a total joke.
- alsetmusic 9mo agoSomeone call the FTC! John Gruber has gone to a private event hosted by Apple. In fact, he's done it more than once! The scoundrel must be locked up.
