Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Aug 28, 2015Replying to @bryanboyer@bryanboyer @GeneLinetsky No more dangerous than regular job. Slightly less, since you're more sensitized to uncertainty/fewer illusions21
bryan boyer@bryanboyer·Aug 28, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr @GeneLinetsky OP does not seem sensitized. And TOS denies any right to wrongful termination claim so not quite same as reg job.1
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Aug 28, 2015Replying to @bryanboyer@bryanboyer @GeneLinetsky Yeah, the OP seemed a little clueless/unrealistic in expectations from relationship.2
bryan boyer@bryanboyer·Aug 28, 2015Replying to @vgr@vgr @genelinetsky and the bulk of the platforms certainly advertise themselves as happy utopias of personal empowerment… (subject to TOS).21
