Ah thanks for the downvote, you're very neutral and would make a great Wikipedia contributor. /s How are the two sites not remotely in the same market? They are literally knowledge bases. Albeit, Golden is focusing more on structu

The might be leaving to other newer alternatives like blockchain-based Everipedia.org or Golden.com (which recently raised from a16z).

I ran that hackathon. Can confirm it happened in 2015. LA Hacks at UCLA, Evan was the keynote speaker and stayed around to talk to hackers and builders after his speech. Snapchat, as a company, was at its hottest peak in 2015. Very cool eve

Community is always the most important aspect, agreed! Great to hear you guys are watching the crypto prediction markets closely, they are coming up with some novel features. I'm sure they'd all be interested in working with you g

Hi Taylor, this is one of the cooler (probably coolest) consumer products to come out of facebook in a while. I was following it closely since the announcement a few months back. My question is: I am sure you guys are familiar with crypto-b

A blockchain-hosted fork of Wikipedia named Everipedia.org has most of these features already built coincidentally. While I prefer Wikipedia over them, I have been noticing myself use other skins/newer look wikis instead of the dated W

I think the real interesting private sector utility will come from implementations of the contact-tracing map instead of just the bluetooth app (which there will likely be "official" ones or ones being worked on directly by Google

by WikipediasBad 6y ago
Do you think that GPS coordinates will be exposable with the API so that there can be public tracing maps online? Obviously a big privacy issue where the actual bluetooth ID and the person's identity have to be fully anonymized but if

Sounds fair. I really like the technology though and think you guys have the most unique take on paper crypto so if the actual token itself becomes a barrier to adoption due to volatility/stability (which is a leading reason why stable

This is a fantastic project and great idea! One thing, I believe there are 2 hurdles to adoption: Kong - the unit of account/currency and Kong - the paper money. Don't you think you're trying to do 2 things at once? Why not t

You're not completely off base, in fact, you are 100% on the money (no pun intended). This was such an obvious situation to everyone even remotely paying attention that you'd have to be living under a rock to not see what was actu

Any link to this type of vulnerability? Sounds like a juicy read.

I love Balaji and honestly, he is very eloquent and charismatic, but being honest here...I still think that Coinbase buying earn.com was a pretty clear and obvious bail out by his SV friends in high places (A16Z etc). That company was going

Very interesting idea. Have you heard about Basecoin and Seigniorage shares? They are trying to do exactly that: http://www.getbasecoin.com/ Are these coins securities in your opinion?

I'm particularly interested in #23 since it is clear that Wikipedia is even more dominant now than it was in 2008: More open alternatives to Wikipedia. Deletionists rule Wikipedia. Ironically, they're constrained by print-era thin

I say this as someone whose recently been through YC. YC is getting phased out anyway. Crypto economics are doing what YC did to startup financing a decade ago. It's no longer any more valuable to even go through YC since it's so

The only other wiki project I know of that's the opposite of Wikipedia for <niche> is https://everipedia.org/ which tries to be a wiki for "everything" by not having Wikipedia's deletionist rules.

You must be a joy at parties. Although your last sentence is profound and intuitive advice for startups as a general rule, you must be pretty insufferable in person.

Dang, it's people like you that are the reason we can't have nice things. I am pretty bearish on BAT's system myself, and I wouldn't use it personally, but it's your attitude toward this stuff that makes me not want

There's a site that tries to do that exact thing called Everipedia, but they have been frequently lambasted in the press for being wrong in their articles. I assume you can't relax notability while at the same time selecting for a

This is completely wrong on so many points, I truly doubt that you are even honest about talking to Mr. Villardo. He wouldn't be that stupid to even insinuate something along those lines. Magic the Gathering Trading Cards would be clas

That would work except your friend would have to confirm you know only after finding Waldo himself and hashing it to compare the hash to your hash. The idea is that they don't have to know the secret, but you can demonstrate you know t

Fair example, but that's also not what I meant. The price of SNAP, FB, or GOOG stock isn't correlated with a potential buyback of only a small amount of shares back. That doesn't seem to be where the value is pegged. I don&#x

I'm not talking about dividends. I made that extremely clear. A lot of companies pay zero dividends and also make it clear they have absolutely no plans of paying future dividends either so there is no expected value of future profits
