I don’t think this is a private equity side project…
> When we show this to investors we'll explain that the improvement was a big win for our "go to market efforts". But you should know it was really just a bug fix for something we disappointed you with.
That made me chuckle :)
I encountered some of those same postgres issues and so far have been only running a staging database on Fly. This comment is motivation for me to finish moving my real DB over from google.
What you’re saying about the motivations of candidate sourcing is not reflected in my experience as a startup ceo or an engineer at a large tech company.
I don’t think the value prop of TripleByte to busy CEOs is “you get employees cheaper”, if anything it’s going to cost more than other sources of talent that don’t take a cut of salaries.
I don’t see how customers of TripleByte are looking to pay less any more than any other ceo that’s trying to maximize profits while minimizing costs.
> For me, for example, the fact that those positions can be matched up to me on TripleByte would literally make me reject those jobs.
That seems shortsighted.
If I was running a startup again and looking to grow my team after exhausting my personal network, triplebyte would be a good value proposition: reduce the time it takes me to hire by pre screening candidates and presenting me with a curated set of people to interview.
So it follows that if I wanted to join a startup I’d consider triplebyte for the same reason —- I can see busy ceos of small companies using it.
You seem to be focused on compensation not finding interesting offers though. To that I’d say two things:
1) If you want to purely optimize for compensation, work at FAANG. I don’t think they source via triplebyte so the point is moot.
2) In my experience, offer size is not related to where the candidate was sourced.
WhatsApp was bringing in 10M in revenues[1] a year with the .99cent fee. Not selling it wouldn’t have made them billionaires, but it’s certainly fuck you money for a team of 8.
We've added a blacklist of url schemes and CSP. I'd like to have a whitelist if I can find one with all known-good schemes we'd like to be able to support. Know of one?
The images are actually hosted over http (or ipfs or swarm). The former requires you to find a host, and the later two have ways of compensating for traffic :)
There's an NSFW flag that causes our DApp to not display the ads by default. We (Andrey and I) are able to force the flag true to ads at our discretion.
You pay for gas when you send a transaction (i.e. buy an ad or publish an ad).
For displaying, if you browse with Mist or MetaMask, you're pulling the data from the blockchain. When you don't, we show you the ads statically by using a Ethereum gateway.
Either way, reading doesn't cost gas, just bandwidth to keep the blockchain in sync.
You don't need a plugin to view the DApp. If you log in without one you'll see a version pulled from a gateway.
In order to interact with the DApp (buy or publish an ad), you can use a plugin or a wallet app like Mist in order to be able to send transactions to the smart contract. You potentially do it manually by interacting with the contract through a ethereum console and sending the right transaction to the right address, but the browser plugin / app makes the process seamless.
Author here. My friend and I have been doing some smart contract audits, and we wanted to build a fun contract ourselves. We remembered the Million Dollar Homepage from 12 years ago, and decided to reimagine what it would look like today _on the blockchain_.
- It’s immortalized on the Ethereum blockchain. As long Ethereum is around, your ad slot will be yours to do with it what you please. No need to rely on us to run the service indefinitely.
- There’s no email signups, no passwords, no credit cards.
- You buy ads by calling a method on the smart contract with the correct Ether value, and tada. All done from an Ethereum-enabled browser (like the MetaMask extension or Mist/Parity.
- Once you buy an ad, the DApp _knows_ who you are from the wallet integration and you can edit it without logging in explicitly.
