Re:Twitter Invests in Muzik, a High-End Headphone Startup on Monday January 04, 2016 @08:18AM (#10835426)

I'm struggling to see the logic in this. I know Twitter have struggled to make music work previously. Not convinced that a hardware approach is the best way forwards. This may just be a straight investment, but even still - it feels odd.

This is lacking in any real detail, which is always a massive red flag. Also the amount of equity they want teams to give away is insane.

3-6% equity in return for a place to stay. Bubblicious or just plain grim?

Re:Ask HN: What password managers (if any) do you recommend? on Saturday January 10, 2015 @02:12AM (#8866212)
