Seems like this could be a great product for law enforcement no? Verifiable pictures of evidence.

Location: Near NYC, US

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Most recently Python and F#, SQL, .NET, Postgres, SQL Server, Typescript, Javascript, React, Ops with GCP, AWS, Azure, Further out: C++, PHP, EasyTrieve on OS/390 Mainframe if you go way back. I'm fairly knowledgable in functional programming and algorithms.

Résumé/CV: https://richardminerich.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/Richa...

Email: Richard.Minerich@gmail.com

Roles: Interested in roles both Management and IC (if the problem domain is sufficiently interesting). Prior Successful Exit as CTO (350M, inflation adjusted 450M). Scaled eng orgs up to 80 people. Invented core IP at prior startups. Architected large scale systems.

Seems like very cool tech.

I think the adoption hurdle will be hard unless you have a free plan that can be used for small things indefinitely. Having a hard cap on events would make me pass on this for fun side projects, which is where I would pivot later from to work projects. Just throwing that out there. This is why my last work project was supabase, I was using their free tier for some fun personal stuff.

If you have another vector for adoption that's fine too.

I feel like the whole distributing webasm binaries thing is tough to swallow. I get the argument, but surely there's a better way, like maybe you could make a tiny interpreter in webasm and distribute that with a human readable script.

I've been trying to find a minimum effective dose for spoken mandarin practice, but without much luck. Any ideas?

Recently was looking at a distributed microservice system at a company that thought they would need massive scale, but pivoted from d2c to enterprise b2b and then found out enterprise b2b companies want data separation. They would have been much better off going monolith first and probably actually sticking with a monolith.

I really like that "just check if the function output changes" trick. It's so simple but I never thought of it myself.

It seems to me if they modeled it as an infinite series of games instead of a single game they might find it's about denying your opponents resources for the next round. You also should consider things proportionally in terms of the resources of each group, one may be willing to take a bigger total loss that is smaller proportionally to disarm another group.

(I admit I only read through the abstract though)

Yeah I think if you want to be an actual smartypants you need some kind of exponential discounting. There's a lot of monsters that could eat us along the way, so people that exist right now or are about to exist are WAY more important.

If you wanted to go all in maybe try to consider the number of lives weighted by the probability they exist will. Some kind of drake equation like thing.
