They gave it control to install headphone software. This is beyond the reasonable scope of what headphone software could be expected to do.

The law doesn't have to lock it down though. Software companies should be accountable for putting users at risk in this way, it should not be legal to install fundamentally insecure software without explicit permission from the user.

I see the point made here though. The actual sales pitch isn't for a moment talking about the actual solution, like in this deck what is being sold here? is it a SaaS product? Consulting services? Business Advice? How long will it take

It's a network effect problem, not an app problem. There's no IP or secret sauce, it's just a user migration challenge. It's not easy but it can happen very quickly, it takes a few seconds to download a different app and

Yes, I think that is the case. New social networks add very little value nowadays, which is a long term indicator that the will not continue to grow in value in the way they have so far. Personally I would not invest in the long term with F

I know of a few people turning off IG and FB due to the volume of ads, when WhatsApp is monetized lots will do the same. Competitors can offer a similar experience to IG, WA and FB with less ads, because the margins are so massive for FB no

Which sites go into that list? Who gets the margin on it? Who decides how much the sites get and how much is "spent" on infrastructure? Can't wait to buy my "Internet Pass"!

Yea but they could afford it, ethically that sucks but they still had the money to spend. Have you ever wanted to buy something small and literally didn't have the money in your account? This is how a huge number of people live, every

When I saw wealthy, I mean they have money to spend on the product they're buying. Money or access to credit or whatever. This is absolutely true as someone is buying stuff driven through marketing. A huge percentage of the people who

> wide spread micropayments I see this on HN a LOT, but I am really not sure it's a great model. The thing about ad-supported revenue is that you can still consume the content if you can't afford it. I'm simplifying a lit

That's incredibly wholesome, the thought didn't even occur to me.

Why bother with only 300 followers? It feels like twitter is only useful if you have several thousand followers, otherwise there's so much noise that you're just talking to empty room.

Golem has the potential to solve the Cloud Trustworthiness problem, and it's an interesting problem one with huge upside if it we ever get there. How do we verify that the the code we're running (e.g. the VPN we have set up on a V

I'm not sure the criticism at UBeam (especially at the CEO) is all that fair. Shouldn't we be encouraging moon-shoots that look impossible? Isn't that the point of VC funds? I'd rather see 100 UBeams than one more social

this is based on https://bubble.is/ - I just took the tour, it looks pretty neat for creating a quick prototype. I suspect I could get to market with a half working prototype faster with this, and then hire a team to develo
