Personally I would prefer a monarchy, or some merit based voting system - eg You get a vote if you can demonstrate you have the understanding to make informed decisions.

What if you disagree with the system of giving everyone a vote being a valid way to decide things?

And who in their right mind would pay £1 for a 'one day pass'? This isn't porn, it's just news.

It's a moot point. The nickname is different, and can be proven to be.

You're seriously suggesting HN users can't work out the difference between an 'o' and a '0'? I'd credit them with slightly more intelligence than that.

Gigenet's service looks interesting. They don't provide pricing though. I'm guessing it's not cheap? Is it based on the bandwidth they'd have to use?

You're right. I only know what the other 99% use it for.

If anonymity isn't an issue, lets just get rid of the nicknames altogether and turn into 4chan. Once you allow anonymity, you also allow impersonation, endless trolling, abuse, etc etc.

FWIW Almost all other countries listed have no usage or very little.

That is a list of people the tor project would like to use it. In my limited experience, that does not mesh in any way with those that actually do use it.

>> "In my experience, startup founders who want to get rich want it more in order to have the freedom to work on what they want than to impress people." Isn't the whole point of doing a startup, to be able to work on what you want?

My original point was that I don't understand the stratgey of pandering to a very small niche market, that is notoriously impossible to monetize (see Reddit). Anyway, seems my views are falling on deaf ears.

by axod 16y ago
and the solution is, 99.999% of people don't care.

Talk about niche markets...

Well, good luck as always... Just remember what happened to Reddit.

... and why would making up some statistics about you be scary? They might be able to show you relevant advertising???? OH NOES!

That's a very very poor analogy. Advertising your service as an untraceable anonymous service, is attractive to certain groups of people. A large amount of those are going to be engaging in unlawful activities. The analogy would be adve

That's pretty odd thinking. If I'm running MySQL on some servers, and it works great, it's not going to suddenly explode, or stop working.

by axod 16y ago
Why? What about when your service is used exclusively by law breakers? Will anonymity be a great policy then?

I really don't understand the strategy here. DDG Seems to be entirely targeted towards people who want to be ultra secretive about what they're searching for. People looking for kiddieporn? Terrorists? Who are the users here? I'm not being

Also depends on what you consider 'startup success'. Many of the startups we hear about being acquired doesn't really mean they succeeded. Only means the founders/investors were able to make a quick buck from someone willing to buy it. It m

If they "didn't mean much" Google would have removed them. They make Google millions. Obscuring other peoples advertising is a douchebag move.

Even then, who would want to abuse trust and privacy and track their kids location. I hate the idea. Absolutely hate it, and (No offense to those involved) hope and expect it to fail.
