I would pay for this if it came with a browser plugin that synced my already-viewed links between devices

For the well acquainted -- how does this relate to Inbox (https://www.inboxapp.com/)? I have not spent enough time with either to make a comparison

Random observation -- what's up with almost 20 of the 24 'contributors' to this project mostly having made 1 edit changes to the README? Is this some kind of pervasive Github resume padding scheme that I'm just now picking up on? (it will show the repo in the "Repositories contributed to" section of your profile even for just those 1-line README edits)

I was under the impression that tobacco and alcohol companies are against legalization and have the largest hand in keeping it illegal.

I think you're misunderstanding the word "fake" in this context. He means they are inauthentic likes, aka likes from real people who don't actually like what they're clicking the Like button on.

Is this a developer-centric parody of http://www.vooza.com?

Anyone serious about using this for it's intended use case (from what I can tell) would not be in this for only one year.

Does anyone know what evidence he's referring to?

Re:Peter Thiel’s CS183: Startup - Class 11 Notes Essay on Saturday May 12, 2012 @01:28AM (#3962872)
Those first four bullets may be true statements, but the second bullet point is a half-truth. It should read "As technology gets more powerful, the potential for causing harm will be greater AND the amount of freedom will increase by some arbitrary amount." It's then reasonable to say that new laws are made to put new technologies in check. It's a lot harder to reach the same conclusion if that's the case.
The flaw in this argument is that it assumes rremoncake was solely responsible for the decision to not back up prod. I think that responsibility falls on the CTO/CEO, and so yeah, Miso is a bad company for that, and that whole incident should have no relevance to the bonus debacle.
