What you're trying to solve is a form of social validation and trust that brick and mortar stores implicitly have: 1. They have to have spent a reasonable amount of money to actually be there; 2. A busy store with lots of people at the

As a freelance back-end developer with various co-founding experience this question speaks to me. I think it's all a matter of perspective. Looking at it from a development perspective the two can mean the same thing: we pivot and so w

And to think Waymo is one of the most advanced self-driving cars at the moment and this is on a very controlled part of the city. It doesn't bode well for confidence in the self-driving car industry.

For someone who has been in this field for 20 years I remember starting out doing every aspect of webdevelopment myself. Then the bigger and more complex the projects became, the less that made sense. The requirements of the distinct fields

This seems like a very broad and vague question to me, making it hard to answer or imagine a starting point for your discovery on the subject. Like many scientific fields these days the breath and depth is immense. Are you looking for a spe
