The "social engineering" is that I was invited to a demo back in October and thought it was really interesting.
(Two people who's opinions I respect said "yeah you really should accept that invitation" otherwise I probably wouldn't have gone.)
I've been looking forward to being able to write more details about what they're doing ever since.
Justin never invites me in when he brings the cool folks in! Dang it...
Is this the black box folks you mentioned?
It's the dark factory people, yeah: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46739117#46801848
I will look forward to that blog post then, hopefully it has more details than this one.
EDIT nvm just saw your other comment.
