i'm not confused. i am discussing the hypocrisy of thiel saying he's about protecting free speech when the thing he was originally angry about (his being outed) was free speech. he doesn't give a shit about hulk hogan or his

what does any of that have to do with any of this case? did any of this incite illegal acts or acts that resulted in violence? no. that part of your post has zero relevance to either my post or to the current situation (did someone kill som

if we're talking about free speech here. gawker did not do anything illegal to out peter thiel. a shitty thing to do? yes. illegal? no. so essentially thiel planned revenge because they did something shitty and he did not like it. agai

okay thats just kinda semantics then. he didn't get revenge because he did something wrong. he got revenge because he felt someone else did something wrong. so this is still all about revenge for thiel at the cost of chilling free spee

i would say it was always a massive success from the beginning. maybe that's arguable. but to say iphone finally hit its mark with the iphone 4 is calling it a bit late.

while you were easily able to buy porn and guns, on the flip side the people who sold you the porn and guns had to go through a high-risk payment processor just as if they'd try to sell porn/guns online. you don't notice anyt

i don't even understand the ire of this post. you're mad that stripe is lying about the reason they don't take high risk businesses? what is their motive in lying about that?

Facebook is such a big target that it won't matter what they do. People will write an adblocker for it because it's Facebook. If there was a viable path, they would have already done it. I think Facebook has enough engineers there

SF regulations (something about requiring the rental be roundtrip vs one-way I think) prevent Car2Go from existing in SF. This is really annoying as it's just sitting there while I have to rush to make sure I do my task in the allotted
