I'm happy that Gavan is Open Sourcing his work and that people are generally happy with the outcome.
That being said I would not be surprised if Gavan announced a brand new voxel project and kickstarter a few years from now, starting from scratch like last time.
One comment: The “dragging a slider to the right” math is assuming all players that pay $25/month are playing the entire month non-stop. In reality it goes in waves. Using the "22.7 hours a week" from WoW, that's only 0.13/user/month. Cloud computing capitalizes on this by renting per hour to capture the waves. This means a 25$/month user is only costing $2.5 for server usage which seems right.
I think the reason bankruptcy doesn't apply is so that lenders are more willing to give out student loans (which is good, more educated society, more opportunities) and also so they lend them out at a lower rate.
Without this, banks might require very good credit to give out loans (hard for young students to acquire).
Both sides think their solution is decentralized and the other is centralized.
Big blocks wanted limited growth that still works on domestic machines. Big blockers believe in using Bitcoin as-is; small blockers want to "spam filter" (i.e. control) some transactions or use some third-party thing like Lightning.
One thing that I'm hesitant about is that people often use time-as-a-limited resource as a way of pushing people out they aren't interested in seeing or doing business with.
If people are buying time for other people (I'm assuming that's your business model), then people may be forced to simply tell the truth, which may harm some relationships/businesses.
Have you found someone willing to insure your startup against any possibly litigation?
Ah I see. I think you can use the term but saying:
> A Staffing-preneur refers to any Technical Recruiters who are entrepreneurs.
At the beginning would have helped me. It's always hard to know whether or not to use or explain buzzwords, but keep in mind proposals might be read by lots of different kinds of people, so it's okay to be cautious.
I went on the site, set age to 18 and set gender to female.
Instantly bombarded with messages and dick picks from some very nice men. I guess this is what's it would be like being a woman on any sort of dating site.
One thing that might be a friction point reading this proposal (it was for me anyway), is that I don't know what a "staffing-prenuer" is, and a quick google search raised more questions then it answered. Is it someone who starts a staffing agency like a restaurateur?
Sorry this might just be me; but I just wanted to let you know.
Perhaps it might be more profitable to simply seek out the most entertaining types of work going on around the community and live-stream it. This would remove the costly and risky aspect of managing the work "entertainment".
You might consider implementing the features you seek as a plugin to discourse. As for the hosting expenses, there are 3rd party services that will host it for you.
To offer a counter point, why does the girl seem like she needs or wants someone to guide her along in each class?
Asking people to help is one resource, but so is reading the textbook, doing introduction tutorials, looking stuff up online, etc. The author doesn't mention she spent time doing these sorts of activities.
> Not only that, but other people in the room jumped in to help explain
I've definitely seen guys line up to help people in labs.
Maybe the take-away is that CS is traditionally taught in a very individual way and should be more group-oriented.
