Thank you so much for this! Not having to dig through the settings to toggle B&W makes it much more workable.

The world is inherently unfair - people can’t control what family they are born into. It’s unfair that some of those families may have be subject to generations of marginalization. So if redistribution is “unfair” it’s only to counteract th

PWAs are also useful where you want visitors to be able to access a portion of a website while offline. I run a site that hosts audio tours[1] for museums and walking tours. I use PWAs to allow visitors to quickly download the tour onto the

This development shows that she was tested positive. The earlier article was just highlighting the risk.

This also opens up the opportunity for a lot of lifestyle businesses. It may, at first, seem like a major downside having a venture backed startup competing directly with you. However, they are likely following an all or nothing strategy an

Is it just me or are those two paragraphs worded in a way that makes the difference between most and least satisfied larger? If only 35% of computer science grads say they have no regrets does that not mean that 65% of them have regrets? Th

They did get advice from some of the most experience startup investors in the world. Who's biggest question was why they hadn't started charging users. Taking advice from highly experienced people is probably better then trying to

I think the general idea would be for the IRS to provide you with the completed tax return. This should be sufficient for a vast majority of people who only earn employment income. You would then review the return and could update/file

I just wanted to point out it's totally normal to go through waves of interest or motivation for various things in your life. Especially if these are things unrelated to your career or work you should consider becoming less outcome foc

Your Audio Tour ( https://www.youraudiotour.com ) is making about $120 in recurring monthly revenue. I built it using Micheal Hartl's online ruby on rails tutorial which I would HIGHLY recommend.

Thanks! It's been going well and I've especially enjoyed seeing people build tours using it!

Peter Attia is a doctor who has a lot of really good and detailed information on his site. The video on the page provides a detailed look at how the body breaks down glucose and fat for energy: https://peterattiamd.com/intro

I think the difference in these cases is that the business never owned or controlled the merchandise being sold. For example I would expect a real estate agent to report their commission as revenue rather than the price of the house sold. H

You are right - what Alex did is called "free soloing" which means climbing with nothing attached to the wall. Freeclimbing means you climb while harnessed in so if you fall you (hopefully) don't die. Originally people "

At the moment I haven't considered how I would implement that feature. First I want to see if I can get people to use the basic version. Do you have a website? If so you should share it, would be interesting to see what you're doi

I find that's the trouble with alot of good ideas I have. They work great if you can get to scale but that's easier said then done! Is your site still up? I would be interested to see it.

Cool, thanks for the link! Looks like a great way to explore new cities. I'm hoping my site will be more helpful for smaller, less tech savvy, organisations who want to create their own tours. Many of these sites create tours in house

Really cool idea, I think people would love that! The biggest hurdle would be getting enough interesting content. You would almost need to create a Wikipedia for real world locations. If you were able to get enough content I think that woul

Thanks! Ya there are a ton a features I think you could add to this - beacon and location support would be very cool.

Thanks! Appreciate the kind words. The target was definitely for smaller museums that lack the time and budget for a full tour. I noticed a lot of these museums don't have audio tours which I think is a shame. I actually had the option

Problem: My experience taking audio tours at various museums showed the use of antiquated and expensive hardware. Most alternate solutions used mobile apps which are inconvenient to download and take more time to release. Project: I went ab

You can even learn how to get other people to create free content for your channel! I don't disagree that Juatin knows how to market and create quality content. What I don't understand is why someone who wants to start a successfu

That's a bad example since raising minimum wage increases the cost of doing business. Artificially changing the cost of business inputs causes problems in the economy - not the fact that people are earning more money. Giving people mon

I think it's also interesting to think about the exploitation of low paid workers. There are lots of jobs that very few people want to do that are low paying because anyone can do them. With basic income people will no longer be forced

Copyright and other protections allow a temporary (maybe not so temporary anymore) monopoly on your exact idea. That's a good way to spur innovation since you reward the people creating those innovations. You could still compete with a

I just wanted to point out that Peter Thiel is discussing his ideas in the context of creating a very successful company. He is not talking about what system is best for society in general - rather what is best for an individual business ow

I agree getting more content on twitter is an good option for montetization. It might even be the best one. I brought up Google because time spent on a site doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot more ad revenue. What matters is serving
