devspace9on U.S. State Department reports new instance of American diplomats harmed in Cuba

That would depend on if you believe numerous Americans who claim to be victims of non-consensual human experimentation for less-than-lethal weapons including acoustic weapons... unpossible! https://www.google.com.tw/search?q=%22targeted+individuals%2... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentatio...

devspace9on The FBI has a new plan to spy on high school kids across the country

> at this rate I would have been singled out as a person of interest

Getting "singled out" is already happening to activists and whistleblowers in the Land of the Free. These "targeted individuals"[0] are enrolled in a program designed to deny, disrupt, discredit, destroy, degrade, and deceive the targets and anyone who might be interested in their plight.

The ACLU, the FBI, and the media will not investigate; even Glenn Greenwald and Laura Poitras of Snowden fame will not touch the "Targeted Individual" phenomenon.

I would be inclined to dismiss the wholesale torture of and non-consensual human experimentation on "Targeted Individuals" using "less than lethal" weapons if I were not already a victim. So I don't blame anyone who cannot believe that such things are possible in the USA and other related countries.

There's a lot of JTRIG-style[1] disinfo online but there's a ton of truth for those who are prepared to consider the possibility of a 21st century update to COINTELPRO.

devspace9on Show HN: Our alternative to recruiter spam

Don't you already have sufficient numbers of potential candidates at your other venture (coderwall.com)? Coderwall and PitchBox are both owned by Appdillo. Why not make it clear that both sites are related? The relationship is buried in the TOS on both sites.

Your TOS states: "For example, we ask visitors who sign up for a wall at trypitchbox.com to provide a username, email address, location and links to their GitHub, Twitter, and StackOverflow accounts." Since Appdillo owns coderwall and PitchBox, and coderwall already has a lot of information about developers, is there any manual or automated privacy bleedthrough?
