Already so much value from TL;DR informing FOSSA!


Awesome work, I wouldn't be surprised if shaming these tactics stops him from filing or deters future shady characters from similar tactics.

It's why I love Slack. If I remember a conversation about something two months ago I go to the room, search and find exactly what I needed.



I'll definitely buy this when it ships in 1-2 years.


Are you fairly young? I'm 20 and using it more than ever, use it to communicate with most of my friends. Including the text functions.


I'm 26, so not sure if that is considered fairly young or "over the hill" haha. Maybe some subset of users are still using it quite regularly and my friends/family have all stopped because of some kind of chain reaction.


All of these marketplaces exist in the US and Europe but Lyft Line is different. It's on demand, you get into a car that you just requested on your phone and it designs a route to pick up other passengers on the way, it may only be 10 minutes each. No pre-booking or planning required, the software does everything in real time.


What's wrong with this? If they're delivering coffee German's can't get otherwise, at a fair price for the connivence then it works for everyone. People complain on HN about startups with vague, long term, lofty business models but this is the opposite.

Coffee is different to socks because people that like good coffee won't buy it from anywhere.


Well done for writing about this. I think that people in SV think that this is such a simple issue, if your startup is "doing well" (or if you say things are going well) then you're fine but people are much more complicated. Also that certain feelings are something to be expected and not to be dealt with or talked about. We doubt our abilities, we worry about our external perception, how others will treat us if we fuck up.


I once spoke with a doctor who told me, "People like you worry me. From the outside, your life is going so well so nobody will ever reach out to you. But on the inside, you are in absolute turmoil."

Your excellent comment brought those words back to me. Thank you for that - this is a lesson that I seriously need to internalize.
