i agree.

the only unique thing that live chat will give you is the immediate 1:1, human-to-human, non-scripted ability to answer questions intelligently and close sales.

that is a huge timesink that you won't be able to keep up with forever, which will probably mean that you'll either need to scrap it, or outsource/script it. and either option moves away from the original intent, so why not start with a system that scales and just use whatever generic live chat option you want until you end up having to scrap it?

TechCrunch should disclose the details because otherwise they'll create an unlevel playing field which would enable them to profit in other ways from that information? This is an incoherent argument.

I think the decision to post sensitive information that was stolen from another company should be made based on the content of the documents.

There shouldn't be one catch-all rule.
There is a fairly well established doctrine that says a media outlet may publish material that was illegally gained as long as they weren't involved directly -- either by direct action or by commissioning another person/group. The legality of this varies depending on jurisdiction, but this is at least an argument that has been used in successful defences in court.

So, on that basis you could argue that Techcrunch would be justified in publishing the documents they've obtained. However, what is needed is the application of a bit of common sense. I firmly believe that this argument can only be made if the material is of public interest -- for example concerning issues of corruption or corporate malfeasance.

There is no indication that Twitter's private documentation qualifies, therefore it's disclosure is no benefit to the public beyond satisfying the curiosity of nosy people.

The public hand-wringing on Techcrunch's part is predictable, cheap drama.

Also the notion of transparency in governance -- public and private -- shouldn't be conflated with transparency about all things. Most individuals and businesses have a reasonable expectation for privacy. Arguing that this privacy should be violated for the sake of transparency doesn't wash with me. Just because you have access to something _does not_ mean you should make it available to every one. Exercise some judgement in other words.
There have been myriad Twitter alternatives since long before Twitter existed, most of them having vastly superior functionality. The masses have made it crystal clear that they will accept none but the most crippled and proprietary offering in this domain.
> They are not afforded Constitutional protection.

That isn't the case. Courts may, for instance, decide that a trade secret law that punishes leakers who were party to a contract or who obtained information through illegal means (such as via trespass) can be punished, but that such a law can't punish third parties who broke no law nor violated a contractual agreement in obtaining the secrets (such as is the case when they are mailed to you without solicitation).

All of the examples you cited (trade secrets, hate speech, and libelous/slanderous speech) have numerous caveats (trade secrets are limited by to what degree they have become public, hate speech is only exempted narrowly through title VII ( http://www.aclu.org/studentsrights/expression/12808pub199412... ), truth is an absolute defense against libel (that is in no way a tautology; it isn't an absolute defense in say, England)) that have been settled upon over time via drumroll answers to constitutional questions rendered by courts.

What makes me most skeptical about his claims in that blog post is the time frame and the simultaneous loss of body fat in absolute rather than relative terms.

When I first started training Olympic weight lifting seriously I gained nearly fifteen pounds of muscle in six months (along with five pounds of fat; even vain bodybuilders who are obsessed with body fat have to alternate bulking and cutting cycles because it's very hard to gain a lot of muscle while keeping off the fat) and my coach has replicated that routinely starting with relatively weak beginners. About six months into a program like that, your efforts start to yield diminishing returns. This is true for total performance as well: when you're starting out, for the first six to eight months, it's easy to work out 3-4 times a week, do heavy squats every time, adding 5 kg to your old record with every single session, but once you get to about 2x body weight (around 150 kg squats in my case) on the bar you not only can't add things as fast anymore, but you have to totally change the nature of the program, and this is despite the fact that 5 kg represents an increasingly smaller percentage of your maximum capacity, so you might naively think it would get easier, not harder, over time to keep up a constant rate.

One of the recent results in human fertility is that daily ejaculation results in healthier sperm and greater fertility.

Causality is rarely simple.
I don't dispute the article's approach of ongoing promotion, but I think there's another way to approach marketing: design the product (and website) to fit the market.

Make the product's benefit easy to see (for target customer task and needs; and in terms that are easy to understand); easy to try it so as to confirm those claims (download, install, "plug-and-play", "getting started", general usability); and easy to purchase (this one isn't so important for enterprise software, because the person processing the sale usually isn't in the decision making loop - bizarrely, it's sometimes a different company altogether that makes the purchase).

The wonderful thing about this is that you are making a kind of sales machine, instead of doing that work manually. It's automation. Of course, it is a tremendous amount of work to actually discover what the market it, who the customers are, what their concerns are, what tasks you can help with and so on. But once you've found out, that knowledge is an asset that you can incorporate into your systems, so it keeps giving value to you - just like a program.

It's sort of "throwing the product over the wall" to see what happens, applied to the marketing aspect itself (except iterative development is needed for both product and "marketing machine").

Of course, this is all immensely appealing to a scientifically-minded technie type, who wants to avoid actually making sales visits or phone calls... I think my approach can succeed, but it probably can't be as successful as someone who tackles sales as a task in itself.

As one data point, I've personally succeeded with this to some extent, but to fully disclose: I do get a lot more sales when I make a release (which is automatically publicized on many websites). I've tried google adwords, trying out different ads, keywords and so on, but it made no impact whatsoever (spent about $100 trying it out).
What I've read in the past day indicates that it's not a "well-established doctrine", that the SCOTUS case that established the precedent you're alluding to was decided on narrow terms, and that it relied on a three-pronged test that included the information being in the public interest.

I'm not a lawyer, so I won't write my comment in absolute terms. I don't know if there's a "doctrine" here or not.

I've mostly not been anti-techcrunch over the whole twitter thing, but the last paragraph of this article just inspires multiple levels of "what the fuck."
I remember a company (FuckedCompany) during the first bubble that all they did was publish private memos, conversations, and documents. I was disappointed to see TC deciding not only prolong the story for days, but also publish some of these documents. What will they do next for traffic?
Exactly. If the content of the document revealed fraud, malfeasance, or something that would be of value to the public, then there's no question that they should have published the documents. But gossip doesn't qualify (though it creates traffic).

App stores are not the future, says Google
Whatever you think of TechCrunch or Twitter (personally I think they are both bullshit factories), boycotting company X for advertising on a site that exposed some documents from company Y is beyond pathetic. This is not important. Twitter's internal documents are not a worthy cause. Flagging this nonsense.
It is - very soon. v1.1 was submitted last Monday evening, which includes support for Twitterfon, Twittelator and Twinkle. Plus a small bug fix.

Multiple accounts will most likely make it into v1.2, as long as Apple doesn't surprise me and approve v1.1 before this weekend.

BGG got me playing games like Descent (despite it's horrendous pricing when you factor in the price of all of the expansions... 4!) and Catan and I've never looked back, thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of it.
Being a vote-driven (democratic) site, I think its an indication of how people feel about TC at the moment.

You may not like the link being there, but the majority of the community seems to be up voting it rather than flagging it, or it wouldnt be at #1.

It also tends to work better than not telling anybody about it at all.

If you tell people that you are quitting something, there is a social pressure on you to follow through on your promise. Your friends and family might also be willing to help you achieve your goal, which can be encouraging and push you that much further.

Well worth it, if you ask me. Best of luck to the author.
Augmented reality business card
Since there's no way to downmod a submission in HN, the "majority of the community" numbers exactly 14 people at the moment.
I don't think it aims to. Checkpoints also cause congestion. I don't suggest driving under the influence, or using the app to avoid checkpoints while under the influence, but using the information to save yourself time is a perfectly reasonable application.
I have no idea why this is being downvoted. Seems like a logical argument to me.
"you can often do dramatically new things by making comparatively small tweaks to existing stuff."

Interesting now that you've mentioned that with respect to boardgames. That kind of thinking really worked for Fantasy Flight Games who took a simple gaming mechanic they developed for one game and replicated it for many subsequent products and all of these games are always entertaining.

They now do lots of licensing deals to make boardgames out of some very hot brands, some of which are quite entertaining.
Isn't flagging something effectively 'down modding' it? Sorry I don't know much about the HN ranking algorithms.

Honestly? I recently gained downmod arrows on individual comments and had assumed they would arrive for topics with more karma, but that's not the case?
While I do agree that web browsers could be the future, I expect it will take a long long time for the industry to transform. Given that some many browsers and standards on the market these days, can you take the risk to develop an application just working on Chrome? Even you do, if your customers don't like Chrome, you have no way to reach them. At the end of the day, you still have compromise with customers, no matter how great Chrome and HTML 5 are.
I think 100 years from now, we will look back at this current lack of interest in space exploration as one of the biggest missed opportunities in human history.
Jeez don't boycott their advertisers.

Boycott techcrunch.
Honestly. The downmod arrows are only for comments. No amount of karma enables you to downvote story submissions.
No. Flagging brings it to the attention of editors, who decide what to do with it. If they kill it it dies, and if they don't it lives. It has no impact on its rank on the front page if the editors don't kill it.

Eh well thanks for the info.
The site linked to says nothing about boycott. In fact, it says that TechCrunch's advertisers are "good companies and they're good to their customers". It's just telling people who disapprove of TechCrunch's story to let the advertisers know they would rather they not advertise on TechCrunch.

This isn't calling for a boycott of anyone.

The wall of shame site states: "They're good companies and they're good to their customers, but their logos are being displayed prominently next to leaked Twitter documents."

I agree: boycott TechCrunch.

But if even one major advertiser leaves to save face, this will cause far more harm than any boycott.
Actually it's neither the speed nor the speed differential.

It's the reaction time of the driver vs. the timing of the events that require that reaction. 30 kmh in a school zone is reasonable because kids can be awfully quick; while 50 kmh on 4 lane street with huge empty lawns on either side is not. For the same reason, a half-blind partly senile grandmother doing 50 kmh is not the same as 30 year old going with the same speed.

Ideally the speed limits should be set on per-driver basis, and perhaps considering the technical characteristics of the car. This is, of course, absolutely impractical and so they set it to the lowest value that is safe for everyone. Including the older people, and these are exactly whom the 50 kmh limit is set for.

PS. 50 kmh is 30 mph

This whole "good companies and they're good to their customers" is ridiculous. Why are they "good companies"? Because they didn't publish anything about Twitter? Why were these companies selected, anyway? Because the ad server happened to pick their banners when whoever built this browsed TC?

Come on, there are much better causes to put your energy behind than some company's internal documents. This is just incredibly pathetic.

(Edit - less than a minute from posting, this comment is already downmodded. Hello, Reddit.)
What's wrong with calling GOOG and MSFT distractions? I think almost every new company immediately gets hit by the biz dev people who want to start talking about deals. For the most part you just have to focus on yourself and your customers, so these advances can be really distracting. I guess the Kanye West stuff is a little harsh, I'll grant you that.

If you read the information posted, it's nothing that really matters. It's nothing that the competitors weren't aware of already. It's nothing that hasn't been rumored, and in actuality, it just keeps the rumors alive. This stinks of smart marketing more than it does of bad ethics.
WTO to Allow Copyright Infringement?
There seems to be a disagreement between the parties on if actual permission was given.

Either some colossal misunderstandings (likely) or some really good marketing.

Damn nearly everybody was a poor peasant or slave in the 1000s, people where getting upset over nothing.

Just because the status quo is such it doesn't mean it is good and cannot be improved. I was searching for a quality LCD screen lately and I couldn't find a reasonable 8-bit screen at any shop, just 6-bit. I read a lot of reviews from seemingly professional sites and they all say the same thing: 8-bit MVA, PVA or IPS panel types are much much better than 6-bit TN at anything except price and maybe a bit of extra latency (not important for anyone except hardcore FPS gamers). The sad state of affairs is that all the reasonably priced 8-bit screens I wanted were out of stock for an unknown period of time at all shops (like the HP LP2475w) or out of production for good. It seems I'll have to pick the best of the worst and be happy just because everybody has the same.

When your product is theoretically a pro product aimed as such and is pretty expensive to begin with you expect the best quality out of all the components. I own a PowerBook Pro and this thing is amazing. More than 5 years old and and everthing works perfectly except some scratches on the metal surface due to drops from heights. The screen in it is the best I ever saw, even compared to new expensive Dells, HPs and others I saw at friends and colleagues. It will be a sad day when I have to change it with a MacBook Pro and the screen will be worse.
I don't think very many people manually upvote Techcrunch stories, certainly not off the new page. They get on the front page because every single post they make is submitted by multiple users, and double-submission counts as an upvote.

People with rss-scraping auto-submission scripts (free karma if you're first) heap fuel on the fire.
Because it was a linkbait response to a tempest in a teapot-- a waste of space second only a post asking why it was deleted.

Oy. There are days when HN seems determined to jump the shark, and the only reason it doesn't is that the editors heave it back.
