... really dare not use this service, might stumble upon some guy who just burned 5-10mil of VC money, which would feel very awkward.

Why would that feel awkward? What about if they're converting it into success?

Failure is fine

Daniel from "mid-western Germany", very nice to have virtually met you. I'm "the guy from southern Sweden". Pretty darn cool service, this. Thx so much to the creator for showing this to HN. Never thought I'd do a Omegle-like encounter with anyone. But here I am having done it and feeling quite enriched by the experience :D

I also met Daniel!!! Unfortunately my phone/mic/whatever crapped out right we started talking about genealogy

It’s times like these I’m so glad we allow resubmissions. This is such cool piece of work and the HN-specificity of the audience means that the only real path to success is via a submission that makes the front page

Public services will eat millions and barely do anything with the money except line people's pockets. For some reason it's just more expensive when the government does it.

maybe "barely doing anything" is better than doing nothing, though?

Below a certain threshold, throwing money at public services is just going to get it diluted. This may not necessarily be a bad thing on its own, but when even the smallest public project seems to cost way more, you're never going to know if your $10M investment helped, or if it just went into someone's paycheck.
