* where does the change sit from a user perspective?
* what are the bookends of the scope?
* how big is the PR?
* etc.
Once I'm "in" and understand what it does, I pepper the AI with questions:
* Why did the author do this?
* I dont understand this?
* This looks funky, can you have a look?
* etc.
The more questions I ask, the more the AI will (essentially) go "oh, I didn't think of that, in fact, looks like the issue was way more serious than I first thought, let me investigate". The more I ask, the more issues AI finds, the more issues AI finds, the more issues I find. There's no shortcuts to quality control -- the human drives the process, AI is merely (and I hate to use this term but I will) a...force multiplier.
Ah, so DieWithMe is an interesting, but different concept.
With Bored Chat, it's simply a chat app where you interact via an iMessage like UI. The difference is that all your chat logs (your chat history) are viewable to the world on your profile page...and on a main "activity" feed.
So Bored Chat is basically chat, but with no privacy whatsoever!
Bored Chat's a one-on-one chat app where you meet people...where all chats are public. The idea is that you can suss someone out before you chat to them. I.e. see if they're interesting or boring or a creep etc. You can tell a lot about someone's behaviour by seeing how they interact with others.Currently I have a small little community happening.iOS only at this stage:...

You might find some interesting people on there to talk to, it's still early days and currently only my friends are using it so far, but we're a friendly, interesting bunch of people :)
Hey...left-field idea for the ice-breaking problem: t-shirts with a list of all your likes and dislikes printed on them.
Instead of the clichéd "what do you do" it's "hey, you like NCIS too!". Easier, cheaper to test than an app.
You've nailed it here (such an easy trap to fall into).
"Swipe" seems more suited to making visceral fast (~1 second) decisions based on gut instinct, whereas networking requires >20 seconds when face-to-face and longer in a lower bandwidth environment such as an app.
Additionally when using the app it felt like I was "discarding" someone as I swiped them, which is not the right feeling.
The bigger problem with networking, I find, is breaking the ice. I'd pay good money to be able to intro myself to someone without resorting to a "networking hack".
A subsequent publication[0][1] argues that their notion of "negative temperatures" is invalid as they used a flawed definition of entropy.

I recently restored The Technicolor Web Of Sound, a fantastic 60s psychedelic radio station that went offline in 2011: http://tunein.com/radio/Technicolor-Web-Of-Sound-Redux-s223835/.It has 25 followers, regular listeners, and one evangelist.However, this not really a "startup" business with rapid scalability nor revenue model.That said, it has the beginnings of traction (listeners, growth,...
[0] I hope the nomenclature evolves re marijuana. "stoned", "bong", "skunk", "chronic", etc conjure up images that are too tightly aligned with negative stereotypes IMO.
I'd be surprised if there isn't full legalization in the US within the next twenty years. And books with titles such as: "How To Expand Your Business And Increase Your Revenue Through The Power Of Marijuana" on the best-seller list.
