strong arm tactics probably weren't necessary, money was probably good enough.

homehero isn't going to work either. You're competing with word-of-mouth, craigslist, basically any other thing where jobs are posted. On top of that, if you have nobody posting caregiver jobs on it, you have no product, because people will check it out, find that there are no caregivers there and then never come back.

Flowtab provided a service that wasn't needed, this doesn't either.

Cheap doesn't get you anything if you aren't allowed to work.

I still have no idea what it does.

Existing userbase.

Do the math on salaries vs. hours worked and you have your answer.

If it's a conspiracy, it's a great way to cover it up ("oh, he was driving under the influence of drugs") and to smear his character.

Yeah, we still don't know why he was fired.

The lack of critism in this thread is astounding.

by gaming the fucking test?

> Elon Musk clearly writes these things himself.

What the fuck? Get a grip, PR is _an_ industry.

Reddit's not profitable though..

Of course not, it's always lagging behind, because 9gag gets all of its content from reddit. It can never get close because it isn't an actual source of content.

> join this community for only 50$ and you too can get rich quick!

Pass.

I, too, propose reforms to surveillance programs. My proposal will have about as much impact as his.

Read. that. again. Good god.

I can't find a link right now, but AFAIK, one of the NSA bases is basically right next (in terms of a couple kms) to a T-Online company hq.

Lack of a slashdot-like voting system is one of the reasons why, on reddit, subreddits become unreadable when they they hit a number of subscribers (e.g. 100k).

The secret sauce is that HN is the news aggregator of a successful start up combinator. The secret sauce is popularity.

step 2: plant links in echo chamber step 3: nah, nothing happens, but everyone feels really good about themselves

How can you get that from that reply? He specifically said they are not.

I find it very hard to believe that a bunch of random people find the time to comment (and all praise that app) on a Google Groups thread. Calling bullshit.

> The server-side code for MailPile must have access to my secret key, correct?

Dealbreaker right there.

This shit has been done before and it's never useful, it's fucking spam.

the content disappears unless you hit "print screen"

> I think it'd be neat if RapGenius became as broad as Wikipedia.

Yeah, i think it's pretty trivial for the wikipedia folks to implement a modal popup...

That sounds like a terrible option for the average person.

Google, Twitter, Yahoo and Facebook all hold patents which will make you go "wat. that is patentable?". They aren't nice guys. And all of them (except for yahoo) are holding de-facto monopolies.
