Congrats to the Tarteel team. Allahumma Baarik

this article is misleading, not very good journalism to be honest. I’m not a crypto bull or bear, but looking at how the “facts” are presented in this article you can clearly see the bias.

ramoq | 3 years ago | on: UK energy bills are soaring to record highs

Lex Fridman’s podcast had an ex-CIA agent on it recently and he mentioned how bcs of issues like this in Europe the war in Ukraine has to end by the fall. His words were “NATO needs Russian sanctions lifted”. He implied the war will be over by the fall (in his assessment).

I wonder if this will be one of the “Show HN: Dropbox” type threads in a few years…

ramoq | 4 years ago | on: U.S. Supreme Court revives LinkedIn bid to shield personal data

you have to watch the video of the actual court proceedings. a core issue is that LinkedIn knew hIQ was scraping their website and allowed them to do this until they started launching similar features. hIQ has a strong argument around this point and evidence proving so.

pretty impressive structures

ramoq | 7 years ago | on: 17-16783 HiQ Labs, Inc. V. LinkedIn Corporation

this is an incredibly interesting case. Highly recommend anyone involved with public data to watch this video.

Note: Mods - I submitted this late at night, but if you could bump this to front page tomorrow, I'm sure it would be very useful watch for many startup founders/employees :)

It's actually open source. You can find it on github. Or you can view source yourself.

ramoq | 7 years ago | on: PixelBlock – Gmail extension that blocks email open tracking

I think the point of the extension is that you can keep images _on_ and not have to worry about people tracking your opens. I would imagine the majority of Gmail users keep images on

I hope this hits the front page as I feel this is an essential extension for email privacy that many people are unaware of.

Front is probably doing 7MM ARR (I highly doubt more than that)

An oldie, but great resource.

ramoq | 8 years ago | on: Dropbox Is Getting Ready for IPO

Pitching this as the biggest tech IPO since Snapchat isn't very impressive. Kind of shocked they used that comparison.

I disagree, I don't think that's the purpose of HN.

One the most neat-flowing articles I've read.

ramoq | 8 years ago | on: Postal: Open source mail delivery platform, alternative to Mailgun or Sendgrid

Question: if all these companies monitor outgoing SMTP traffic, how are people sending billions of spam messages a day? What's the loophole?

ramoq | 9 years ago | on: Dropbox is the fastest SaaS company ever to reach $1B ARR

I'd be interested to see the breakdown of consumer vs. business in that run rate (probably 80/20)

ramoq | 9 years ago | on: In Canada 50Mbps internet now considered a basic service

Mods: I submitted this article (link to the exact same article, exact same url), before dgudkov. How did this submission get accepted as being unique?

ramoq | 9 years ago | on: Fitbit is reportedly buying Pebble for around $40M

Interesting part here is: "...the acquisition is a “small amount” but there’s no word on exactly how much, or indeed how little. Further, The Information said that the deal will see Pebble and its products closed down over time..."
