A comment on Ask HN: Is “a decentralized alternative to X” the new “Uber for X”?. Parent comment
Do they have the concept of "transitive trust"? (Is there a better term for that?)
Let's say I want to buy some new camera. I'd like to express something like:
- People on HN, I trust for 80% (say, because of the technical nature of the product)
- Friends on facebook I trust for 40%
- Friends of friends on facebook, I trust for 10%
Then using this spec, I'd like the system to come up with a sorted list of cameras, with ratings. Would this be possible without privacy issues?
By the way, if a rating system turns out to be robust, we could potentially use it for rating politicians :)
