The issue is communication between the boots on the ground and the NOC. Earlier today, we brought our servers down too. People that stayed up (squarespace) have been up the whole time. Until I understood the whole situation, we made the sa

It looks like they think Quora is a product of LinkedIn. Judging from the comments here, and from my personal review, the facts of the site seem to be very wrong. However, the design is nice.

Pardon my idiotic question, but why don't they just drive over there and check them out? Or are they just in a totally different place than the rover (like asking why someone in North America can't just hop over and check out Uluru)?

I don't think it's an extremely small exception. If you have content that could be copyrightable (i.e. classical music, or anything that you've licensed yourself) it will definitely get caught by the automatic filters. Here's dozens of vi

They should tweak it so there are NO false positives. Maybe they miss a bunch of videos that have to be brought manually to their attention, but then at least the people playing by the rules are not punished. The majority of copyright usage

If your video is totally free, you have a much easier time because you can use vimeo or another video hosting site. If your video is commercial, besides hosting it yourself, there aren't really any other monetization rental strategies besi

Why do you say "WILL NOT" in such a definitive way? It doesn't seem like a good bet as a company to rely on your users and the public to forgive you when you step too far, especially if you do it repeatedly.

We'd rather have you tell your friends and colleagues about the product than send us any money at this point. If you get one other person to use it, that would be vastly more valuable to us than a few bucks.

I agree and disagree. I don't think the title is misleading. (in fact, it's a fact!) but your point about engagement is valid. We track a bunch of other interesting numbers as well, such as number of active users in the last month, number o

"Saying "always be free" doesn't create a legal obligation given a change of circumstances." Neither does charging. Most SAAS products charge on a monthly basis, so the most any vendor owes you is 30 days of usage. Even so, they could alwa

I don't think you should let an isolated incident speak for the community as a whole. But your point still stands and it's been repeated often... You felt personally insulted by a moderation action by the community due to the way it was han

I can confirm that SE Inc. definitely did not pay for this article (or blog post). They called us for some facts, but that was the extent of our involvement as far as I know. I also agree that it seems about two years late and not filled w

It sounds like you are upset that you put a lot of effort into solving the problem, and also that the question got closed. I can understand how that could be frustrating, but your answer is still there and can still be voted on (only new a

Can you clarify what you are referring to by using the word "This" as the first word of each of your paragraphs? I can't make any connection between your post and the one you are replying to.

I have to admit that after reading the post and not getting any responses to emails or phone calls, and seeing other people experiencing the same thing 3 months after acquisition, we assumed the worst. I'm glad you guys are still working on

I can understand it too, and I'm not sure the VC they had behind them were the enlightened kind (like USV, Spark, Andreesen, etc.) so there may have been some pressure from that end as well. But Groupon? That just says acqui-hire to me, an

I just discovered that FeeFighters got acquired due to this post. I'm so disappointed. This product does not belong at Groupon. We've been emailing Sean recently to ask him about Samurai and I guess this explains the no response. I really

I was coming here to say the same thing (well same intent) as the original commenter and found your reply useful. It does seem like a fun joke app, and your smart for using that to your advantage. Good job!

Surprising that no one corrected her about "Zuckerberg owning 57% of the company", but I guess it's a) not that important and b) rude to correct the host. (I think he only has about 28% but controls 57% of the voting stock).

This is exactly what HRBlock and Intuit currently do. They have hooks into all the payroll processors and investment companies and will download your W2s and any 1099s from the relevant company. Then you just answer a bunch of questions. Th

It's the same marketing doublespeak that Salesforce is employing by their slogan "No Software". I have no idea how they can get away with claiming salesforce.com is not software. I don't even know what that means?! (Note, I understand that

Do they say anywhere whether they mean $1MM in total sales or that they are now doing $1MM per month in sales? Those are two totally different concepts and I'm not sure which hurdle WPEngine has crossed.
