[19:26] scribd be throwing shde [19:26] shade [19:26] nah, that's not how I'm parsing it [19:28] yipdw: honestly, how I read his response is "our service couldn't be better enough than others to justify building a commercial business on it" [19:32] joepie91_: yeah, that's probably a better response [19:32] I have a habit of reading the worst into HN posts, because usually that's what they mean [19:32] heh [19:32] :P [19:33] anyway, I can see how building a commercial business out of instant PDF hosting is going to be a problem [19:33] thankfully I have no such issue :D [19:33] lol [19:33] "This looks like duplicated effort to me. Upload the pdf to Google Drive, set the permissions to "people with link can view", and share the link it gives you." [19:33] I like how a bunch of "hackers" don't understand that Google Drive requires a login [19:34] ohai garyrh [19:34] HN should be called just, like, "N" [19:34] hehe [19:34] or maybe VCN [19:34] yeah, VCN [19:34] is probably better [19:34] OHAI [19:34] garyrh: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8034431 [19:34] scribd co-founder responded [19:34] yep, saw that [19:35] very cool!

[19:48] 17k hits on the frontpage from HN directly... [19:48] that's... not bad [19:50] joepie91_: Japanese term for an industrial or financial conglomerate [19:50] um, that sounds like Unilever [19:50] :p [19:50] but they're Dutch [19:51] so? :D [19:51] I guess there's no reason why they couldn't be [19:51] Unilever yakuza [19:51] NL doesn't even really have a word for this kind of company [19:51] we just call it a 'multinational' [20:01] we have to have names for those in the US becuase that's...everything [20:03] i'm sure you've seen this image before http://i.huffpost.com/gen/585370/original.jpg [20:23] pft: yup [20:23] terrifying [20:23] indeed [20:33] https://github.com/icebreaker/floppybird [20:35] sigh, where to ask to move items between collections?
