If you offer anonymous and free image uploading it's not wrong to assume that not 100% of your traffic will be pornographic uploads and I also don't think it's wrong that if after years of your offering, if you get to the point where all of your uploads are porn, that you feel the need to shutdown your service.
Nobody is entitled to do bad things with good tools.
One, never approach a community that lives and breathes startups using words such as "fairly certain," and "try." They have no power here.
Two, start the company, make a respectable business plan, and then whore yourself out. No one is going to be interested in a joint venture with a few paragraphs of information to go on.
You don't have to be perfect, nor do you even need a full roadmap of ideas or plans, but people need to see that you're willing to put effort into it. No one makes a successful startup, especially in the medical field without considerable research and effort. If people don't see that you're willing to put in the time, they'll never get behind you.
Although it's a pretty cool idea, I was under the impression that the entire basis of a crypto currency was to keep anonymity...
As of now, the easiest, best, fastest, and most secure way to transfer files is by using BTSync. (http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html)
Create a shared folder, give out the secret or read only key, done.
If that was the case than any single person who uses a proxy, VPN, or Tor might as well be a terrorist; you're attempting to browse the web with a pseudonym. The REASON that they were used is because the use of assassins back then was pretty common, especially by the Empire.
Without American heros such as Snowden and Ben Franklin, this country would not exist.
1) If you do nothing, nothing will change. Protesting might not be the best choice, but it's better than no action at all. This petition will change absolutely nothing, especially if it only reaches the minimum required signatures. There are 311,000,000 people in the United States which means a menial 100,000 signatures accounts for 0.0003215434% of the total population. Not even 0.01%.
2) Martin Luther King Jr changed the course of a nation with civil disobedience. To say it can't be done again is ignorant and foolish.
To put it bluntly Reisse was hit by an automobile by a criminal. Should the police have pursued the suspect through a crowded city the way that they did? No, however no one here was at the scene; maybe they HONESTLY believed they could end the ordeal without a lengthy chase and without the suspect getting away. That's a judgement call that every law enforcement officer deals with from time to time; with human nature telling us that we can't be correct all the time.
Being a developer myself, when I create a piece of code to do a specific thing and release it to the public it's not for monetary gain, but to help others than need it by using my source. However, if they wanted additional features added to it, you could have a pot, and once the feature is achieved the pot would be deposited to the developer.
Which I really don't think is okay. However, I fully support helping developers spend their time doing what they love to do; but wouldn't spend more than $5 on any one thing. If you think about it, you could have a really successful middleware or something and get $5 from 1,000 people at once, or $5,000 for doing something that you were intending on doing anyways... Seems kinda underhanded to me as an open source developer.
Secondly, my father has been an officer of the law for more than 25 years -- can we please not turn a thread which is being used to inform the community at large of a tragedy as a way to defame those who wish to do good in their community.
I ask out of respect of Reisse, and my good natured father that we keep at the very least this thread on topic.
With me being a college student with a VERY limited budget I get very little nutrition that's needed for my body to operate normally. I was so turned on to this product because it was initially advertised to cost the creator between $50 and $100 per month. Now, all of a sudden it's going to cost me $230 just to get started.
It's starting to sound more and more like a scam; I'm pretty livid.
The best thing about BTSync is it's basically zero configuration. I have it running on 10 of my boxes so far, and it's working amazingly. Far better than dropbox -- however, I only need it to sync files between hardware, not for anything else, like photo sharing, or advanced configuration based sharing. I just want file A, to be on all configured servers.
TL;DR: Don't compare BTSync to Dropbox, it's not a dropbox alternative. It's something completely different, entirely.
The simple fact that no one has been able to accomplish it yet should not mean in the slightest 'No, you can\'t'.
No, stop it. Just grow up or get out; you're actions are not akin to that of Joan of Arc as you so blasphemously decided that they were (who by the way changed the course of history as we know it, you arrogant git), instead they are more akin to that of a bickering child who wishes to see their sibling 'get into trouble' because something they said didn't sit well in your own opinion.
The skinny of it is he said something you didn't like, you blew it out of proportion (remember, you're supposed to be an adult and have the ability to process things accordingly) and this man lost his job; yet you're trying to convince me that you're the victim here?
Just leave.
