Yeah I use both and this post feels VERY astroturfed.


Author is trying to improve their social skills and is noticing that some toxic traits have advantages.

It's okay to dazzle people though. I'm not sure you have to make it a core part of your personality but like, maybe as a hobby, a little razzledazzle here and there.


I <3 TinyFPGA and also it's open source DO IT


I mean, Algo traders I know are working on teams of 10-20 people with deep knowledge of $5k boards over a half-decade, so I think for "getting started" those might be pretty good.


Fantastic!


marginal gain with manufacturing hurdles /shrug


This article is more or less total bullshit. At _best_ that device might be a mechanism to cause failure intentionally. And there are tons of ways to detect it with commodity technology, and plenty of vendors who implement that technology for assembly manufactures commercially.


That’s what I thought but then it says it’s hooked to the BMC bus. It’s basically a small IME device with no java bloatware to run. I’d think it’s reasonably credible


My issue isn't whether or not it's possible for hardware to be insecure or whether or not it's possible for exploits to exist.

My issue is this Chinese undetectable super chip creating unpreventable wide-scale vulnerabilities.

For what it's worth, I've worked in hardware security and I own a hardware quality control startup.


A) Paywall

B) Pewdiepie

C) That headline makes me think the article was written by a moron. "Investment funds continue investing, compound interest is a thing, what's a profit?"


I don't understand how you can have the gumption to post some bullshit like this when it's been disproven so many times: https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf


If you took the time to read our whitepaper, you'd see that we clearly address this issue under section I(INTRODUCTION) and IV (RESULTS).

Quote - Section I "The roadmap of the ICO is as follows: To begin with, we motivate you to give us your money. Similarly, to fulfill this aim, we concentrate our efforts on confirming that you have no idea what we are talking about."

Quote - Section IV "We now discuss our evaluation. Our overall performance analysis seeks to prove three hypotheses: (1) that nobody actually reads whitepapers; (2) that the Nintendo Gameboy of yesteryear actually exhibits better median interrupt rate than today’s hardware; and finally (3) that you can make an ICO for literally nothing and get it funded."

I do hope that we have addressed your concerns appropriately.


Thanks for doing this, I'm definitely going to consider it since we're implementing token based authentication and my friends have told me XSS is what I should be concerned about there.

How did you choose to go with a trial period instead of a freemium model like slack?

The issue my startup has with trial periods is that it's like "you have 14 days to start generating revenue". Freemium is better for us because it's like "You can learn about our service, and use our service while your staging your release, and when you launch if you're viable (traffic+revenue), we'll be your partner (ie. charge you)".

That's how slack kept us, and Salesforce lost us.

We shouldn't have to worry about paying while we're still learning how to use your service. If I haven't on-boarded it by the time the trial runs out, I'm going to cancel it.

Then again, I don't know your costs, so forgive me if I'm wrong.


You are absolutely right, trials are difficult when there is a integration step that might take a week. We consider the trial to start once you are fully integrated, not when you sign up.

A Freemium model is something we are interested in! We wanna support smaller projects with a free tier in the future.


Yeah, that sounds good to me. Being a bootstrapped startup, "pricing" is the first page I go to.


Yep. I do the same :)


interesting project, may I ask what is the vision to create a Billion Dollar company?
