Fred is wrong, they already have that power through the DOJ and ICE..the SOPA/ACTA etc push was to 'LEGALIZE' DOJ tactics..thing ABOUT IT...

The internet has spoken ..SECRET DEALS only get one response out-RIGHT WAR

shareme··on Reddit: a necessary change in policy
But what is illegal content?

Is it Adolph's Mein Komp? Is it Mohammad's Koran? Is it some words form a Journalist praying to some god other than Allah?

Please enlighten everyone on what illegal content is..

US Law is based on possession..

shareme··on Why Facebook is never safe
If you really want to mess with those who choose to violate privacy and other laws whether its corporate idiot or your government..you will figure out that you can fake profiles and data attached to them..

You know how easy it is to fake meta data in a camera image?

The possibilities to make the FBI or CIA or some corporate private investigator look very stupid are endless..

Shall we play a game or two with them and expose their own stupidity? Why not?

It would be the perfect hack and best part non-one gets hurt but we do a great public service..

shareme··on One Story of Nikola Tesla
Edison sounds like a blowhard with the initials JC :)
shareme··on Ask HN: How to move away from Gmail
A question, what is the difference between Google reading your email and using data and the ISP eMail service you have chosen.

Seems to me that Google has a better track record than y other IPS email provider you could chose at this time.

shareme··on A Hacker School That Helps Solve Silicon Valley's Hiring Problem - Hackruiter
Lets deal with reality folks..99% of start-ups are not at stages were they pay the going salary rates..

Has nothing to do with supply and demand or anything else.

Or famous Jason Calacanis blow hard likes to claim they do not want to work..that does not work either..

what works is transparency about at what funding stage you are at to the potential employee..

shareme··on Should students profit off my classes?
I miss the days when most of the tests were all bluebook essays including science, computer science, history, etc.

You youngsters have it too easy...

shareme··on Startup dudes: Cut the sexist crap
how much of this is the social background of the offender?

I find those who had Moms that worked when they were growing up seem as far as a group as of a whole to be less inclined to state stuff like this

shareme··on We are sorry
I have a real IMPORTANT question...

Did you know that Path by default and always does not store android phonebook address entries on their server?

In facts its against standard android dev practices to the point where its prohibited by Google..

So when Path found out about that in completing the android app why did they continue to insist that it was right on iphone to do so?

Now I would not say the Path CEO is directly lying, but it stinks pretty bad..

shareme··on Game Developer Sentenced to Death in Iran Asks Obama for Intervention
No further back than that when GB and Russia needed oil during WWI

Someone was bribed/paid to over-throw replace the Father with the son..

shareme··on Groupon Posts Disappointing 1Q Results, loses $43M
What is interesting to watch is that there are many market opportunities for these types of businesses where the costs to obtain customer and hand hold in the beginning is very high..

My personal example is a private business/equity exchange platform is just one example(I worked on one in Chicago).

So how does technology empower a start-up to change the costs of customer acquisition and change that customer cost of acquisition equation.

I do not think they solved the customer cost of acquisition yet..

shareme··on We are sorry
But which mistake?

I assume that you are not ware of the FTC fine involved if they kept the data, right?

Its almost as bad was Zynga pulled its first year in operations

not correct, if Google ports their features back to Webkit and they are accepted by the Webkit project than yes you will see it on iOS as Apple uses the Webkit project.
shareme··on Apple intern's thesis leaks secret project to port Mac OS X to ARM processors
it was a false flag/fake project..to see if the engineer was trust-worthy..do think the thesis would have been published outside if Apple was serious about the project? Its secretive Apple after all..
shareme··on Apple’s great GPL purge

shareme··on It’s too late for Dave Winer and John Battelle to save the common web
its the gopher argument..

Some of yo may remember an alternative to web called gopher..

It eventually died due to web being free and it not being free.

The form that is more'free'than fb as far as barriers, etc will out-compete fb.. DW, etc have very little to worry about as this changes rapidly and does not stay the same.

shareme··on AT&T Throttling Unlimited Plans after 2GB Data Use
