This is all part of a plan that was laid down some time ago. Jack is a product guy. Tremendously good (evidence being he created both Twitter and Square). Jack is not an operator of a quickly scaling company, or at least, that's what Ev h

I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this as Groupon has hired and grown so quickly. Remember when Facebook was a revolving door for execs? :-)

There is literally nothing in what he released that is obviously illegal to me. He says a bunch of it is illegal, but I'm no lawyer and it looks like one person just deleted a bunch of data and another person asked if that was really koshe

He's not being sarcastic. It's a non-obvious disclosure of people's information they consider to be private. It's a very good example, actually, of how Etsy is not respecting peoples privacy, regardless of the language in their privacy po

Just read though it all. So far, this is unimpressive and not really indicative of any serious criminal activity. And here's the torrent: http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6241472

It's great -- Unfortunately I run a professional office with woman who work for me, and while they'd probably not care if I sent them an article that says "Suck Balls" at the top, I care enough not to send it. Couldn't you be just as snar

Yep -- nice to see that in this instance, as I noted. Then again, why should you be punished for your success if the reasons for query increase are based on simple traffic growth? Or worse, a competitor just sending you a ton of DNS traff

by davidu 16y ago
The real issue is that the cost per query is negligible here and DNS providers shouldn't charge by the query yet almost all of them do. They have to have some metric to separate the big guys from the little guys and charge the big guys m

Steve (Apple) did... in Akamai. http://www.akamai.com/html/about/press/releases/1999/press_0... It was at one point worth about 2 billion dollars, but I'm guessing it all got washed out after the dot-com bust because word of it was never

I've been exceptionally pleased with Facebook advertising -- I find it has had far higher conversions than Google advertising has. So as with most things, your blanket statement doesn't ring true to others; and ymmv.

Jamie -- I look forward to coming back to this comment in 12 months and seeing what the world looks like for Greplin. I think they are awesome, but the world will have to get more silo'd before it can be more open -- hopefully greplin isn'

Which is interesting since Google doesn't serve a 404 over HTTPS as far as I can tell.

Okay... but why is this a comment to my comment? I don't see any connection to my post.

Strong disagree. Outing the VC won't help and the OP has much more leverage than that as I commented elsewhere in the thread.

There is a lot more leverage here than that.

You failed to negotiate effectively with your VC. At this point, you should explain to your VC (hopefully he is your only one) that you intend to: (1) wind down the business, layoff all staff, pay off all debtors and cease all company opera

Wow, didn't know that term existed. That is exactly what has happened here.

I wish the SEC would focus on the real financial crimes. Even at billion dollar valuations, these trades are being done by qualified investors and are insignificant in volume and dollar amounts compared to these systemic allegations: http:

Agreed -- I've always enjoyed my debates with you. I'd go so far as to say I sort of miss them. But I've now grown so frustrated by the pedantic replies that I get on HN nowadays that I've had to start deleting my comments after I write t
