Unfortunately, TripleByte’s solution has nothing to do with technology. When a company is looking to hire, the reputation of TripleByte means that they can trust that whoever TripleByte gives them is high quality. It’s work just as well if TripleByte didn’t even have a website and required all their candidates to come into their office - that’d just need a lot more capital and be discouraging for potential users. That’s different from the type of trust that AT&T had, where you’re trusting the quality of the software but not their trustworthiness to not lie to you. (Although there is some of that when you’re trusting that generally people can’t listen in on your call)
- EGreg 6y agoI hear you. And yes, this reputation thing is different. But how do we know we can’t decentralize this trust? Remember, the phone company was the canonical example of a “natural monopoly” by economists even including Milton Friedman. That’s why I chose that example. It eventually got decentralized too.
