Why should I choose you vs the other guy/lady?

> 15000 Hours Of Experience I really don't see your point here. What does this have to do with anything? Was this time spent pushing your skills and learning new stuff, or a focus on the basics? The 10k rule is debatable.

kp1on Show HN: Blur – Enterprise Solution for Securing Passwords

>We are a security company based out of Rochester, NY that plans to deliver a high quality product which provides a way for organizations...

You plan to do it, or are doing it? Do you provide high quality products, or planning too? Your doubt, gives me doubt.

kp1on Facebook is looking into a subscription model

"pay the social network to avoid ads and maintain their privacy." If they are collecting info on people NOT using their platform, how will this work? imho this seems like a 4th amendment violation or heading that way. I stopped posting on fb almost 2 years ago.. should delete my account.

^Exactly!

Govt/Police already abuse the power they have. Once they have the private info of individuals they will abuse it. I.E intelligence community.

kp1on MoviePass no longer lets you see the same movie more than once

Wow, who crapped in your Cheerios?

With recent shenanigans MoviePass I wonder why people use their app. That's why I made the comment.

Why use a service that restricts you? Tracks you (now removed)? Go from unlimited movies, to restrictions?

Why use something that you have to pay for and NOT get much value for it? Just go to the movie theater like everyone else?

kp1on Ask HN: Why you look for a job?

The Industrial Age happened. Dept of Education taught us to goto school, get a job and work for 40 hours for 40/50/60 years. They dont teach entrepreneurship for a reason. They want us working, not creating assets etc.

kp1on Ask HN: What can I do if someone dupes me into working for free?

Do you have a contract with said company? What are those terms? Can you prove you made it 100%? The code and graphics? A copyright case is long and expensive so it may not be worth it to chase bad or no money. Pro bono maybe, but I doubt that too. I hope you learned a valuable lesson tho.
