If your execs prevent your employees from interacting with the board of directors, their only option is to go public to get the board and investors' attention. Brian only wants thi…

Coinbase followed suit and Brian heavily praised DHH for it on Twitter.

"Please don't make this public, because then the investors will find out and they'll come after me."

Dutchie?

Just curious. Does your legal agreement allow you to share details about a customer's technical implementation, support tickets, and billing history to Hacker News?

Brian, the only damage control you should be doing now is apologizing profusely to everyone for trying to manipulate this community. You spun a very sad story and left out incredib…

Ah, someone here doesn't like my opinion and thusly is downvoting every comment I've ever made. It's been quite a while since I was around HN, but I'm very disappointed. Is suggest…

How about we let a court decide whether or not this is Trademark infringement instead.

I think that you decided to join the Internet Hate Machine before you knew all the facts, and now you're finding it difficult to admit to yourself that you were taken by a good sto…

So we should believe what he says in public instead of what he says in private? Lets be honest here. He's lying. It doesn't matter which statement is a lie. That is a massive state…

Your friend appears to have lied by omitting key parts of the story. I'm wondering if he now has to worry about a defamation suit. https://whoshere.zendesk.com/entries/21514943-the…

You might do well to wait for both sides of the story before lighting your pitchfork and calling to "rake these fuckers over the coals". Because looking at some of Brian Hamachek's…

Reserving judgement was a good idea. https://whoshere.zendesk.com/entries/21514943-the-other-side...

Jesus, the Internet Hate Machine is brutal. You haven't heard the other side of the story and you already want to BOMB them? The guy you're willing to BOMB other people for said to…

He also didn't mention that he tried to sell his app to them 2 years ago. Or that they made him an extremely generous offer this year.

I continue to be amazed that folks continue to claim a rich man with a published book who makes the rounds on cable news networks is somehow being "censored" by virtue of his medio…

Non-sequitur.

A small correction. These are Google's customers. Facebook is the one trying to steal them away.

One humble suggestion? Perhaps we would finally save some money by cutting our gargantuan military costs spent defending the rich person's interests.

Warehoused? How do we prevent them from leaving the warehouse? Maybe we need some fences and armed guards. And now that we've prevented them from leaving, how do we keep them from …

So our choice is give the rich what they want, or they'll leave? Lacking a more compelling argument, I'll be the first at the airport to wave them off...

You aren't very familiar with the lifestyles of the modern rich. Their social circles are other rich people, not tied to a single location. This is the kind of wealth that can chec…

Don't downvote, it's a valid question that shoots at the heart of the entire philosophy.
