It's still very much a research implementation, but I'm making global black box combinatoric methods which can be used where analytic optimization methods are not available, e.g. multi-objective optimization.

I have no real account. I always make a new one every few posts partly for privacy reasons, and partly because I enjoy reading posts like your own. :^)

As someone who did numerical optimization for my doctoral thesis (also mechE), this sounds more amenable to publications than a start up.

Are you trying to commercialize?

This is the logical next step after random site-specific passwords. The login/logout workflow does make this inconvenient though. Browser extension idea?

Chan boards use thread-specific IDs or thread-specific tripcode salts to achieve much the same thing - privacy by default, but identifiers when it helps you follow a conversation.
