Proxlet never made any attempt to block ads (they didn't even exist when we built it!) That said, it's really no different than a normal 3rd party app which could do the same thing. Again, my beef was the manner in which they shut it down a

In order to interact with their API, you need a security token. They revoke the rights on that token, and the API rejects your requests.

No worries, I don't feel berated. These were hobby projects that people found useful, I have a full-time startup that gets the majority of my attention. So yes, making sure I share yet another cautionary tale. If you read Cappy's comment on

I'd love to get into it, and I can say we aren't rewriting their content.

I'd say it's what happens when business models are threatened. In terms of 'obvious' we & our team of lawyers strongly disagree.

Yes, there is some selection bias both ways ;-) To be fair, the reason you haven't seen anything better is because very few people are able to get traction in the face of deep, deep entrenchment. Have you watched Bret Victor's "Kill Math" v

(I am one of the founders of Boundless) Believe me, we would love to go into very, very specific detail on exactly what is covered in the complaint, unfortunately talking publicly about details in the suit is taboo/off-limits. Further, our

If you don't need the money, take time off. When I left the last startup I co-founded, I decided to set an arbitrary "1 whole year" date, during which time I would explore my own projects, hear about other peoples new ideas, and talk to exi

Actually, I'm not condemning computer games at all, though my tone was generally dark (I hadn't had coffee yet). As provocative as my title was, "death" to me just meant that of the body, not the mind, I'm a singulatarian after all, as well

Right now, I coded my blog to a different 'fun' color that varies w/ the day of the post. Cooking up a new theme w/ readability improvements, I'll reconsider that color (though do check out http://restrictionisexpression.com for full effe

That's fine, what prompted my post: Talented developer writes me to join company because he likes the opportunity we are going after, but assumed we were ruby. I share our tech stack, and he passes because he is "only looking for Ruby"... a

Chris & I started Proxlet as a side project to scratch an itch and keep our skill-set fresh & do things in new ways. A great & rare opportunity to choose wild new tech stacks!

(I think I'm the he?) Happy to debate the merit of the tactics (though metrics & past experience suggest to me they are ineffective). I took issue with "small guy vs small guy". I have no large pie worth stealing, and neither will a com

It's a really common use case actually. Let's say you're a friend IRL, but on Twitter you just talk about sports. I still want you to be able to Direct Message me, but I don't care about sports (I'm myopic and only care about tech ;-)) Prox
