Yeah, but I meant your part in it.

Tell me more about the bush war, sounds interesting.

First, I see using the word "chicks" as insanely offensive. Well, you need to get out more then, methinks :)

One Night Stands happen, at least according to popular mythology. So obviously women can be convinced to have sex. Your worldview is a bit bizarre, dude :p

I chuckled at your use of the word "dictator" :) Great idea btw, would love to be a part of it.

I don't know how that works in the US, but here in the Sweden becoming a sole proprietor can be somewhat of a hassle. You have to sign forms, talk to the "IRS", pay a certain amount of preliminary taxes each month, do book-keeping, keep tra

Problems with this: 1) Only done on 16 girls. Sample size is small. 2) More than 30 years old. Changing mores. 3) Women are likely to fear random men who approach them, the reverse is not true. This experiment should have been done differen

How do you pay the voiceover providers? I mean, how does it work legal-wise? Are they considered sole proprietors? Employees? Something completely different?

Cool idea! Maybe the site could use its users as "captcha" solvers, in the form of rating/tagging content. Ie the site pops up a random picture of another user occasionally, which the user must rate according to several dimensions ("photo q

I can easily see chicks confusing "ugghh that guy is a loser clicks obnoxious button " with "that guy sent me a string of genuinely obnoxious messages and actually deserves to be punished click ". Btw, we should talk. You have some cool i

Good point.

I would actually love a site that finds me male friends. I always need local people to do eg martial arts, hacking on projects, going out to sarge, discussing philosophy, etc.

That's really interesting! How would you prevent abuse, though?

Yeah, that made me chuckle. The USA is pretty quaint sometimes. Then again, to us euros, all Americans are worldview-challenged religious fundamentalists who mock dying poor people in the streets while brandishing an Uzi in one hand and a q

Maybe it's American dating culture. Where I live (Scandinavia) we don't do anything fancy. We just go for a coffee or "watch a video" at hers or your place.

I don't know. If there was a way to reliably match people algorithmically, we'd have seen it implemented by now. Sure, people would leave the site faster, but it would also provide an EXTREMELY in-demand service, allowing such a site to cha

Women compete too, but for the top men aka the alphas. The richest, most handsome, most famous, most combat-fit, most connected, etc. Or often in today's world: the most caddish. And what is alpha is always relative to something else, which

A simpler version of this would be to use fuzzy matching on the person's history of messages. Which would rule out copy-canned messages right away, and would also prevent them from just changing a dot here or there in the message. I'm very

IRL, most men are too timid to approach women the same way it's done on dating sites. Can you imagine a bunch of average guys going around in the streets and talking to random women in broad daylight with no hesitation? When you take away A

The male/female ratio on major dating sites is much closer to 50/50 than the message ratio would have you believe. The fact that men send the vast majority of the messages is the inevitable result of a positive feedback loop stemming from

Why? Are you against male happiness?

Uh, I'm a developer and I work with a bunch of developers. Trust me, programming is not our numero uno interest in life. :-) Judging from our office discussions, the most popular courses would have to be on picking up chicks, making moonshi

Can I contact you somehow?

by itmag 15y ago
Yeah, he should just start a magazine about the stuff he is interested in. That's when I did when I was a bored 22 year old :-) Boom, boredom problem solved, plus nice contact network from all the cool folks I contacted and got to write som

It seems to me that all the e-learning courses that are popping up these days are focused on programming. When will we see courses on psychology, Spanish, martial arts, etc? What would those courses even look like in an e-learning format?

by itmag 15y ago
Wow! You created your own conference. Extremely awesome. As someone who wants to do the same thing (and has the contact network to feasibly do it), I am extremely interested in knowing how you did it :) Any pointers? Edit: Also, I would be

Wow, quality advice. Maybe I should contact you, eh? :)

Wow, you seem like a really switched-on dude! What's your background, man?
