Interesting company! Are there any commercial oral care products with arginine in them? What’s your opinion on the toothpaste with lysine supplements and the oral probiotics for gum care?

Although I see the appeal of this, the MAJOR flaw is that California allowed a private right of action, unlike the Colorado law. It’s inevitable that lawyers will weaponize this as a new source of revenue, just like patent trolls and ADA la

This reminds me of the time I agreed to hear a seed pitch from a Web3 company and they accidentally showed a slide where they had copied text from my LinkedIn profile onto their team slide under an unnamed VP that was "soft circled&quo

There’s not really enough detail in your post to analyze. 10% of revenue could be nothing or it could be millions. Are you venture funded? What’s your burn rate and runway and how much did this cost in comparison? I know plenty of companies

Slack and Discord have a lot in common. Both were the founders second attempt at a game company that morphed into a chat platform. Jason previously founded Aurora Feint, which became the social platform OpenFeint, acquired by Gree.

That anecdote about Netflix is not correct according to a friend of mine who was a manager there at the time. Quote below. “It wasn't until the streaming business was massively ahead of the DVD business before the execs on the DVD side

Great article and amazing work by EFF reconstructing the interface. I’m reasonably familiar with how mobile ad networks function. Am I correct in assuming that current iOS devices wouldn’t be subject to this because Apple has restricted acc

What was your experience raising money, and how much did you raise?

There’s a pretty decent set of info and links to personal profiles on their website. If that’s not enough for a founder to do due diligence, they probably aren’t cut out for VC fundraising. And someone writing small checks like this is almo

I hope we manage to improve the design over the 1960s version MSRE which cost $130m to clean up due to unforeseen problems including a near-criticality incident. Certainly there is a lot of research to be done.

You can search by extension - there’s a lot of .exe files, mostly Russian AFAIK.

There’s a wikipedia article that covers it better than I could in a post, but censorship of books, movies, games and the Internet is common there.

Not to mention the extensive censorship. Ironically the only state which has legal X rated content and legal cannabis is the Australian Capital Territory which is where all the politicians live. (equivalent to DC).

Always has been. Look at their censorship regime for a start.

by pnw 4y ago
Australia has always been somewhat of a prison colony with extensive censorship of media and the Internet and almost no constitutional rights as Americans understand them.

I can't load either of their sites because our network blocks all Russian IPs. LinkedIn indicates 15 of their 16 employees are based in Russia.

This is a pretty common hack for shortcut launching, something which browsers have restricted over the years.

Obviously this is aimed at phones but does it extend to any other computing devices? For example, does it require Microsoft to allow access to a third party app store and payment system on a game console like Xbox?

I understand there is a separate level of privacy issues caused by phone companies selling data, but all of the reports refer to data collected from apps which can't be IMSI/IMEI since that's not available from apps?

Probably not easy taking orders on a Russian website from the US right now?

by pnw 4y ago
Likely because the company is Russian.

How does Apple’s removal of IDFA affect this? The ad companies no longer have a cross-app identifier that would be of any use in correlating data from a specific phone/person?

Very few new games use their own engine. Excluding legacy titles and AAA publishers who have their own tech developed across decades, I believe proprietary engines are less than 10% of the market today. The only exception is the Japanese ma

Ubiquiti has the UAP-IW-HD, in-wall mounted four port POE/wireless AP that uses a standard mounting box. I replaced my old cable TV outlets with them in a couple of rooms and they work great.
