Credit score is just a mechanism to help people borrow other peoples money from across different institution in the US. Back in the day, your religious leader might walk down to the bank with you to vouch for your moral character, but that isn't really feasible today. China can literally block you from the market. A bad credit score in the US just lets other free actors see that you are a bad investment.

Why can't both things be true?

If you consistently deliver brilliant policies that help your people, you should be re-elected.

Plus, by still making the people pay, you can offer them an amazing tool to increase their productivity WITHOUT taking away their pride in providing for themselves or establishing a direct indefinite dependency.

jsonderulio··on Ask HN: How do you get over the executive wall?
Contact people from your network and tell them exactly what you are looking to do.

If you really do have friends from the industry who honestly and truly believe in you and want to see you do better it is a great place to start.

Also, marketing yourself as a generalist/entrepreneur is a bit of a red flag. Chief "Big Idea Guy" is a tough title to get from the outside and without some serious bona fides.

I'd suggest taking a little time to really think about what your industry needs to grow in the next few years and map out a VERY specific strategy.

Then find a company who could benefit from that knowledge. It will at least give you more to talk about when you sit down for an interview.

If you can't be a specialist in practice be one in strategy.

Good luck.

jsonderulio··on HTC Vive Price Cut
Oculus Summer of VR totally shattered their expectations. Sets were back-ordered for a while. Vive saw their market & new platform developers running away from them.

Having tried both in multiple capacities, the tracking and field of view are better of the Vive. But the Oculus has a better developer network & content, is easier to use, and seems to deliver a better final resolution.

Also $400 vs $600 is compelling, although if you can afford VR you are probably not exclusively price sensitive.

This tool assumes we've already gave up our privacy.

Its just a smart way to comb through all the data you've extracted.

The software itself would have access to the index. So it would still exist.

Keep in mind the extents governments and other private enterprise would go to get their hands on this.

You will have created a clean super-weapon.

Or 'the dark mark' for those biblical folk out there.

Can you imagine what that would do to your life as well? Even if you couldn't access the information.

Half the governments of the world would torture you just to double-check.

The dog argument was cute. But the dog also doesn't make a searchable, indexable list of all your personal information.

Someone will inevitably make this though, and it will inevitably be abused.

Plus what if I start switching search parameters from say, 'planning a terrorist attack' to, likely to to vote one way, believe on thing, or be of a certain religion.

We will trade all our privacy and the nefarious people will switch to a new method of comms...like they always do.
