I'm pretty sure you'll be familiar with this already and it's not really philosophy but check out Von Neumann's work on cellular automata if you haven't already. I think revisiting his work with the computing power

Strangely enough I only heard about them the other day, and now I'm constantly getting ads for them on FB and seeing them mentioned everywhere.

Why would anyone use your service when it's beyond trivial - especially for your presumed target demographic - to just do this shit themselves?

Nice idea! I have this on my social site, people have two passwords, their regular one and an 'under duress' one that wipes their profile/locks it down. I always wondered why more services don't offer it. The reason we h

Does bad UI make more money? Craiglist is another example, horrible UI, successful site. Amazon, terrible UI, makes billions. Maybe making things harder to find makes people spend more money? Even here on HN, abysmal layout and lack of feat

So you're asking $5 a month for what? You don't even have a site yet, just a landing page. There's hundreds of sites in this space (I run a ton of them) what are you bringing that no-one else does?
