Even if the IP allegation is illegitimate, how is such a lawsuit an instance of masculine posturing?

If you view an IP lawsuit as masculine posturing, you should check your blind spots.
Zimride predated Uber. Lyft predated UberX.
Interesting. I suppose that's not too surprising, though. As a man, my biggest gripe with tinder is how much work it is.
Maybe by market share, but Tinder predated Bumble, whereas Lyft predated Uber.
I'm failing to see how your comment is any less cynical than the comment above.
If one wants to start a new social network, open source or not, or any other product dependent on network effects, they have to market it appropriately. You have to segment the market, and work your way out. The open…
I'm a bumble user. They sent this post as an email to their user base. I don't understand what they're trying to accomplish by airing their dirty laundry publicly. Users don't care if you're in an IP battle. Also, I…
Ah, then "low end" is the more appropriate descriptor.
Did you mean to reply to someone else? You didn't address what I said. WaPo bundles authorship and curation, which is exactly the problem I'm describing. The problem isn't cost, it's incompleteness.
Popular curation is awful, you're right. But it remains unfortunate that old media still bundles their curation and authoring services. I'd like to see expert curation applied to the entirety of news articles.
What do you mean "useful"? Every viable product is useful for something. That doesn't narrow it down.
For how many of your daily searches would you prefer to use voice? Voice has much higher latency and lower bandwidth than text/vision.
Ideally you'll work with early users who are just one or two degrees removed from yourself, so they'll feel social pressure not to ghost you.
The biggest advice I'd add is to talk to users before buidling your MVP. You can potentially save yourself a lot of work. Also, there's a ton of details in how to identify risks and validate assumptions. Four Steps to…
Yes, Michael Seibel, please read up on the history of Twitch.
If you're going to complain, offer a solution. What should be illegal? Patents? Transferring patents?
Shkreli did not increase epipen prices.

AFAIK, only the insurance companies paid his exorbitant prices.
Nowhere in that article does it describe an actual crime that went unprosecuted. Shkreli broke the law. The financiers causing the financial collapse did not. Perhaps the laws should be changed.
It also contradicts PG's advice that startups should hill climb.
Interesting. What's an example of deep interoperability you'd to see that isn't currently available?
SaaS products interoperate through APIs.
