When I started angel investing in the late 1990s, a tech investment included a significant technology risk, with the potential upside being groundbreaking innovation. Being an investor at this time meant taking a considerable technology risk and betting on actual tech, such as nanotech, semiconductors or biotech.

E-commerce, albeit hyped and interesting, was not considered tech. It was “Business 2.0”, plain and straightforward, hype included.

    Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist?

    That’s a weird question. That ‘yes’ seems as easy as “do you wear your seat belt? Every TIME?!?”

    Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?

    After about a dozen you’re kinda set. I will enable one-offs in a private window, usually for shit news sites or the very occasional referral farm, and the exceptions are all reverted when I close the tab.
