browsercoin··on How to Raise Money (2013)
are there any crowd funded equity raise out there? whats the overall process like compared to traditional money raise?

because i feel like that is the best alternative to this 2013 article, it lets you bypass the whole problem of having to know an investor, mind you, is not necessarily a rewarding experience.

the fact is any one that has managed a small portfolio with or without wins is tough to tell apart from each other. when you have certain amount of money it buys you a comfortable cushion to fall back on despite your failures and still come across as successful, but in fact you are a horrible fucking money manager/investor who happened to get lucky in the 90s through ultimately being exposed to an environment where wealth and poverty divide is particularly wide in a massive city.

a crowd source equity fund raise, not much different from an ICO apart the added rigor (one ICO had some Russian dude in a drag posing as HR, switching gender and hair color for different roles filled by the same person, exit scammed with an anti-semetic pepe meme), equalizes the power balance between investor and innovator from what was a master-slave relationship to many masters-slave that is supposed to be more democratic yet fragility is questionable. ex. FUD, fake news causing run on bank vs one investor weathering it out because of #faith

im still not sure what the legality of crowd equity raising is in canada but this is what i decided to pursue now.

Highly ironic, this!

German is not as awful as Dutch-should be noted as a throat condition.

not to shit on this, this looks like a great initiative, but I strongly doubt them being able to deliver with only the money they raised.

as a galaxy user I wondered why they dont make smaller phone that i can control with one hand without fear of dropping it?

im okay with a smaller reddit is fun app.

browsercoin··on Ask HN: What is your advice for a technical founder learning sales?
i recommend two books

SPIN selling is good for technical products that needs lots of explaining.

Challenger sales is advanced and tough to master but the ideal target just from statistics-those who challenge the prospect with a market insight. Craziest thing I learned was you introduce your product at the last slide! You really get into the prospects world and then challenge the old way of things...thats all i can remember....also marijuana is legal in Canada today so its kicking in so im in the writing mood.

I'd love to write a bit about my experience as a sales engineer and also selling SaaS tool ($99~999) over thet phone if anybody is interested...basically I went from being a coder to hustling.

browsercoin··on Why Did China’s Biggest Movie Star, and the Interpol Chief, Vanish?
I have a problem with your comment attempting to use a stereotype of a communist country to "Asian". First, what part of Asia, its literally 60% of the earth, its fucking huge. I mean, are you talking about Bangladesh or Indonesia? In the UK, Asians are dark-skinned folks, not the East/South Asian that American/Canadians are referring to.

The other issue here is misusing a neo-confucian value as a basis of China's corrupt system.

Again, attempting to conflate a single country's generalizations to a an erroneous and inappropriate label accepted by North American society.

You should've just used Oriental country.

browsercoin··on SEC tightens the noose on ICO-funded startups
again, the only place ICO would be safe is those under the rule of Russia or China, otherwise all other countries face extradition to the US.

US has proven again and again they will touch anyone anywhere (except china and russia), and its a losing battle to go up against an organization that has unlimited resources with capabilities that grow constantly.

you just described the FX derivatives market, which btw cannot work without regulation and enforcement and monitoring bodies with real consequences for bad actors.
browsercoin··on Netlify raises $30M to replace webservers with Application Delivery Network
you can do it with cloudformation, although the SSL stuff might need automation but nothing impossible.

where does netlify host my site? with git hooks you can trigger CI and automation on AWS, perhaps even AWS SWF

browsercoin··on SEC tightens the noose on ICO-funded startups
Had an interesting conversation if you have been involved in any ICO sales and live in North America, seek legal counsel immediately. Do not listen to idiots telling you this is good for the space, they don't know just how much reach SEC has when it comes to securities fraud. The investigation will likely span many years but they will eventually get to your ICO and will hit you with wire fraud and felony, which won't go away and it will impact your employment and possibly overseas travel.

If you were one of those companies that helped ICO launches, there's a good chance you will see jail time accordingly.

Remember, the SEC has the manpower and allegedly a technology to uncloak elaborate laundering on the open ledger, which opens up a whole new can of worms called anti-money laundering orgs that become activated.

Im glad I walked away from ICOs.

browsercoin··on SEC tightens the noose on ICO-funded startups
it seems like there can be no bad news to crypto. any piece is taken as good for the space but they should read the fine print, the SEC is putting an end to all ICO

browsercoin··on New Evidence of Hacked Supermicro Hardware Found in U.S. Telecom
maybe its just me but this seems all too familiar. we've seen it happen with iraq, reputable media outputs sensational hostile state actions, immediately faces criticism, but more importantly the timing after announcing China tried meddling with elections.

i dont know sometimes i like reading into the big picture, what is the purpose of this bloomberg article for those outside HN? it won't invoke feelings of calm but rather moral panic. now half the americans are riled up to think china is attacking usa, and we remember they need just teh right amount of support.

also as the noose is tightening around trump, a war or a limited military conflict would be the perfect distraction.

/end conspiracy
