what's the name of your startup? Your bio is empty, and I think most of HN would be interested in knowing the name of a business that thinks this is OK.
Ugh, seriously? I was vaguely fine with the blog post before (though it is a bit advertisement-y for HN in context), but this is reprehensible (at least in the context of judging companies by the stances their employees take...).
- javert 11y agoIt's also reprehensible to say that it's OK for companies to cheat their cusomters. I don't think the CertSimple guy was actually trying to boycott that guy's company, he was trying to make a point.
- lanaius 11y agoI read it as a mixed call to boycott (and shaming) together with an appeal to CertSimple's expertise; "I don't see you actually having any startups, and thus your opinion is meaningless. If you do have a startup you certainly are a bad startup."
- nailer 11y agoIt's a simple statement that companies shouldn't cheat their customers, nor should we support companies (including HN startups) that think it is OK to cheat their customers.
