March 2020 I was investigating Solid for legaltech projects I'm designing. I thought it sounded like a great way for a user to create a master profile that can be used with multiple web apps and service providers, while maintaining mor

Okay, I should have been more clear - to get their mostly undistorted size and shape, not equally distorted.

Um, comparing two or more countries only works properly if they're all dragged to be centered on the equator.

The only 10X browser improvement that can be made these days is if it cuts RAM use by 1/2 compared to the others, (and isn't tied to crypto). I would pay for this!

My understanding of it is that much of the money is supposed to be for Google and Facebook ads - something which I would never want to have to pay out of pocket for in the US market. So it's not just that the founders can pay themselve

Thanks for this! Certainly I have some experience with this already from my legal services business. The main difference being the clients trusted me first.

And much more. Not going to through it all in detail, and there are probably many things I don’t know about WeChat since I’m not a heavy user living in mainland China. The team definitely needs to get the experience of being behind the gr

You know what's better than criticizing negatively? Helping. So, to avoid being a hypocrite, how can I help you? LOL

SEEKING WORK | Vancouver, Canada | part-time / contract / freelance | onsite / remote This is something I've been considering for a while, but now the pandemic is pushing it forward as I may be having a gap in my income

Yeah, I had a GF that worked for a government research department. The last quarter of the year the department staff did ridiculous things to ensure every penny of the budget was spent. Frivolous travel, non-relevant conferences, parties, e

Nope. They just walk on through the front door, or sneak in the back one when someone is getting off. I just spent the last 1.5 years commuting down Vancouver's infamous Hastings Street on the bus, and there's not a day goes by wh

Right, I forgot about the government tie-in. This part of free rides is definitely dysfunctional. Bus drivers aren't obligated to do anything, for their own safety, except notify the transit police.

In Vancouver, Canada, this is a problem. But we also have the bigger problem that the public bus system, operated by private companies, allow the homeless to get free rides. It makes some routes unbearable and even dangerous.

There are some of these public toilets near the high-density of homeless in Vancouver, Canada, but not nearly enough.

As far as I know, he had a business model involving an emerging technology, and wanted to select a product that would be most successful with it. He felt books was that product. He's said as much in interviews.

And then there is the whole construction / contractor / material aspect of it. A big problem with a renovation is the uncertain number of surprises that the contractor will encounter when tearing out the existing material. The c

It really depends on the area of law, type of firm, type of client, etc. In immigration or family law there is lots of procedural work, the lawyer might be solo, and the client is an individual or family. In this case the lawyer can general

I made tools to automate parts of my Canadian immigration practice, (as a non-lawyer, licensed legal services provider), but that was only increasing my profit and ability to scale. What I really got paid for was perceiving what the custome

I think another leap can be achieved with communication between vehicles. Once there are many more self-driving cars on the road, they can feed info to each other as needed. A car experiencing black ice can pass that info to the cars around

Your entire statement closely matches most cryptocurrencies, (now I'll get down-voted to oblivion). I rode the crypto train for a few years but got off because of the ridiculousness.

The robot is incredibly over-sized and under-utilized for this task and costs what you would pay for 5 employees in a year - not the best application. If the robot isn't tossing the pizza dough, then who cares haha!

When I was in the 18-29 year old age range, like more than half your users, I definitely wasn't thinking of ways I could date a girl in another city or country. That would be incredibly frustrating in a way that I don't need to ex
