Everybody is suddenly a currency expert. Remember the days when everybody was a real estate investor? Yup. I'm gonna enjoy the show from the sidelines.


Funding is overrated.


Which one can observe, data that is easily discover-able but in its raw format is not interesting. Visual is.


IMO the visual on the page was annoying, and not very informative.

The bar chart somebody linked to showed the same data in a much nicer way. Easier to grasp at a glance, and easier to make comparisons.

To make the page's visual work it would have been better to show later numbers in terms of the previous companies. Show, for example, that Facebook is 1.3 Blackberries, Nokia is 4 Facebooks, etc.


You can see it today if they make the data available.. nothing much in terms of technology here.



Yes but your comparing a VW Golf with a Tesla Model S


Tempted to argue that the gixxer is anything but a VW Golf. It can take most sports cars from standstill and probably max speed.


Closed too. #Hate #Linkedin

I deleted my account but it's not even deleted. Hope other lawyers take on them and sue the hell out of them. HATE LINKEDIN!


Agreed. LI has become far too intrusive as of late, and I really hate that some folks in different industries, specifically tech, value this as the end-all, be-all. If I have to miss out on certain opportunities due to my lack visibility on LNKD, then so be it. Just not a fan of what they're doing over there-at all.


Dear cpbotha,

You can run, but you can't hide.

- USA


Dear USA,

You are probably correct. My point is that I can make it slightly more complicated for you to sniff around in my data, and that was the whole point of this move.

If more people do this, it will get progressively harder for you to do your mass surveillance job as you do it now.

I'm sorry I had to leave you, cpbotha


If you think the USA is alone in their desire to surveille you're going to have a rough time around the world. The USA had the means, but the will is there worldwide.


This is true, but outside of the US, China, and probably Europe, few countries' governments have the money to do this or the priorities to do it.
