   Ok this may sound abit harsh, sorry, but you were asking for feedback in another thread, so... There are plenty of services offering this "Uber for advertising" (inc. a,b & c), the biggest of course being Google. And I'd

   Out variables can be used for 'while were at it' code - separate concerns that are handy to code in the place where the data is available locally but have no place to be there.

   1,2 sound trivial, I guess 3 is the killer but like the sister comment, why not find about that in advance.

    I dream more now I am coding less. I love what my imagination can conjure up. Many times a night now I get woken up and I am angry that I won't know how the weird story will end. I try to think how it would have ended.

    I have given up now. With fatigue and kids I don't have the desire to do coding in my spare time. Any other work I do in my spare time needs to be geared to investment or making money.

    The book sales created enough profits to bootstrap the email business. To stretch the analogy it like the Power Supply bootstrapping the BIOS bootstraping the Operating System loader.

    That would encourage police to gather evidence illegally all the time, because it works. Which is consider a worse state of affairs than guilty people going free. Just imagine undercover police walking into every home that left their door u
