Can you expand and maybe give an example of what you are saying?

I think it can be triggered automatically when a major shift happens in a stock. I remember a few of these back in the 2000s when things were crashing left and right.

Is there any poll that show that this founder unhappiness is real?

Are founders less happy than population as a whole? Or is it that we expect founders of successful companies to be happy?

This has been out in the wild for a while now. I first noticed it when I added IAP to my application.

My app will call on our server to verify receipt and I was getting bogus receipts that actually caused that part of the code to crash.

Apple's receipts are proper json objects and what I was getting was this string "com.urus.iap.30297356." The last part keeps changing, so I am guessing the developer actually tracks usage.

So the moral is to always verify your receipts and don't deliver content unless the receipt is valid.

But most developers won't have resources to do this and creating a general service for them would be too much custom work. I think SDK platforms should have this capability built in. Pay $10/mo and we'll verify your receipt and return a file based on the IAP product id.

Can you clarify the phrasing of your cloud issues? Do you mean there is no solution for trust/privacy issues, or do you mean there is no solution for licensing?

As for paying, this is a non-issue, you are going to pay either way.

So essentially blog categories?

This feature is only useful for a very minor audience. Most people don't create a lot of content, and won't bother tagging their short tweet/status.

Power users who do write a lot should already have blogs like the one the author is using.

for vested shares. I am assuming most will not have all their shares vested yet.

They probably have to wait a bit before selling their shares. So you won't see an exodus until probably a year or two down the road.

I would assume for the benefit of the last round of investors and employees.

It looks like you are doing a simple frequency analysis to determine words for titles. In some cases it works, in others it reduces to just brand names. The Linux tab is filled with "Linux" for example.

Perhaps you need a learning filter that catches words that are too common and filters them out.

WBC style trolls are those who abuse the legal system for personal gain, by legal but not necessarily moral means.

Patent trolls are exactly in this mold, the question is if there is a way to make money off of them?

Any system will have parasites. You can change system, i.e. patent reform, or introduce a predator for the parasite.
