Wed Mar 19 22:14:17 UTC 2014 <benderp> wrong again, ninjashogun.
Wed Mar 19 22:13:55 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> So I would solve this via another fact. People, especially highly technical people, know that if "you are not paying for a product, you ARE the product".
Wed Mar 19 22:13:35 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> benderp - I thought I read that he took a large BTC investment, for one thing.
Wed Mar 19 22:13:03 UTC 2014 <benderp> ninjashogun: how did mircea_popescu fund his site?
Wed Mar 19 22:12:52 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> and it would not have job ads in the beginning. It's kind of a chicken-and-egg problem.
Wed Mar 19 22:12:38 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> If I put an MVP I code in a weekend online, and put it on hackernews and maybe reddit, it would not have profiles in the beginning.
Wed Mar 19 22:12:20 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> not in the beginning (I mean during the weekend-launch period!)
Wed Mar 19 22:11:25 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> So, the site is going to accept profiles from people (similar to LinkedIn). This sets up a chicken-and-egg problem because people would only upload a profile if htere is something in it for them, and in the beginning there owuld not be a big value proposition on the site.
Wed Mar 19 22:10:25 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> (and I would love to hear your thoughts.)
Wed Mar 19 22:10:18 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> The following is what I was thinking:
Wed Mar 19 22:10:00 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> mircea_popescu, I was very highly impressed by the way in which you funded your site, and I was interested in your thoughts on a funding model I am working on for the jobs website that I mentioned to you earlier. (Based on a back-end skills graph that knows that, for example, C# is close to C++ and Java, but very far from embedded electronics design.)
Wed Mar 19 22:08:56 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> mircea_popescu :)
Wed Mar 19 22:08:35 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> asciilifeform, you've brought up good points about drawbacks to a mass-adoption card that is a lukewarm bitcoin wallet accepted directly by merchants. You are right, and htose are real.
Wed Mar 19 22:07:28 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> asciilifeform, I find some of what you have said useful. I wouldn't adopt the tone of enlightening a stone-age man, as I have a lot of experience in several areas that also make my background interesting. we can simply have a conversation you know :)
Wed Mar 19 22:05:37 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> That doesn't mean that ATM's aren't MASSIVELY useful, even though they are a flawed architecture.
Wed Mar 19 22:05:06 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> it means it's a braindead architecture. it shouldn't be possible.
Wed Mar 19 22:04:43 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> The existence of this: https://www.google.com/search?q=atm+card+skimmer proves that ATM's are architecturally braindead. If a vulnerability vector like this existed even in theory, it would invalidate use of ATM's at foreign, unknown locations.
Wed Mar 19 22:03:09 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> asciilifeform, okay look I get that it's kind of braindamaged. ATM cards are also inherently extremely braindamaged - and loads of people have been ripped off by card swipers, false things they put their card into that is in front of a real ATM.
Wed Mar 19 22:02:27 UTC 2014 <ninjashogun> no I don't own one.
