The article has some interesting points but what's the context? Who wrote this & why? It also needs more references for some of the claims made, but it's someone's opinion -- I get it.
- chmod775 2y agoWho? George Hotz is well known in the hacker scene, but there's no reason they'd be an authority or more knowledgeable on this than anyone else. Why? Because clearly they think there's a problem & business opportunity.
- ein0p 2y agoThis is by Geohot, a nerd extraordinaire who gained notoriety after jailbreaking PS3. Eccentric AF, almost unhinged. No filter. Tinder ain’t gonna help someone like that. Getting out more would.

- renewiltord 2y agoAlso founder of Comma.ai
- dauertewigkeit 2y agoHe's got more than enough fame that a lot of girls would find him attractive. He even knows how to market himself, but maybe not to girls. IDK. But Tinder wouldn't be the optimal strategy, unless maybe he was doing it on the Stanford campus...
