The only reason to use spa as far as I am concerned is that’s the way the industry was going 10 years ago… so the community and controls etc… were / are for spas.. any other reason to me was just chasing new tech. I made the switch and

we used them because they guaranteed parts and repair for something like five or ten years. This was the number one reason we purchased hundreds... No complaints, they were very stable. We tried other cheaper models and they would overheat

Things are not always what they seem. I’ve started multiple companies that appear to be not viable but once you’ve made something and shown value, all of a sudden everybody wants it. I mean good gosh just think about Uber, WhatsApp, YouTube

I was in the same situation(wife, small children, no real savings) about three years ago. Long story short freelance for a high enough rate that you can pay subcontractors to do the work and free you up to work on the side project. Eventual

Really? How many open source databases do you offer? Some may say it’s not right for randos to complain when you give something away and they complain that it’s missing basics. I just happy someone else wrote most of what I need and I can e

Lived in Austin for most of my life and moved away as soon as I could due to Heat and traffic. It’s not an enjoyable place to live weather wise for most of the year. Basically you feel trapped at home either due to heat or don’t want to dea

If any of the kids are like the way I was they have two phones, a fake phone for the parents to see and control, and then a real phone I keep to myself

I understand the article to say start with these things... that does not mean you have to stop there. Build an empire but start small.

Spot on great advice. The big picture is start small (niche, deep pockets) and then grow big (wide market, all price ranges). I see some comments assuming his advice is the end game for an entrepreneur, its just the start. I will add one no

I used to think social status only meant money. But now I am starting to realize it’s any perceived value that a person can provide in some group setting. For example at church the pastor or those more involved have status. At work, those m

I am skeptical of anything with a battery. My mother who is 80 can keep absolutely nothing charged. Batteries die and they are not recharged until someone charges and reconnects. Ideally some future tech will not require batteries or they w

Sure it’s cheaper but requires someone be nearby with an iPhone/android. Ankle monitor I presume has gps and SIM card… I guess that’s an optimized iwatch for battery life. The ideal technology simply does not exist…

The same way you track if someone is in house arrest? (Ankle monitor?)

Is this similar to rife machines that you can use at home? Essentially frequency generators.

We just moved to Mexico for this very reason. My mom now has 24 hour nurse care (at home) for 1,200 usd per month. In the US we were quoted 10k per month and not 24 hour. My mom receives a small pension which puts her in a spot where she qu

Exactly - pay top dollar for crud forms makes no sense just for them to be written in wpf…. Hello JavaScript

Not just younger devs. I am an older dev who has extensive experience with WPF and was relieved when I moved on to another stack. Having worked with winforms extensively wpf sucks on every level. Xaml is an atrocity that should not exist. P

This is going to be out there in left field and our experience so far. 1- (will not help you but for the benefit of others) My wife has MS and the doc said if she gets pregnant it may help. She got pregnant and yep sure enough life changing

I have it on all the time due to the volume range going from soft to insanely loud to soft and it’s annoying… when the kids are sleeping this is also a show stopper

Thank you for the idea. If I could rely on her to remember to close the door to the safe and lock it every time it would be a good option.

Any reasonably cost solution for a 80 year old with one functioning arm to take her meds in such a way that also prevents a 5 year old from getting to them? This is what we are up against. Currently, I have a reminder on my phone to give th

My mother recently moved in with us. At the age of 80 she needs more help than we can provide. Her pension is high enough that she does not qualify for assistance but well below market rate for home health aides (help with daily activities

Not true. To blanket state microsoft is not reliable is ignorant. Anyhow, be on your way. I will continue using .net / c# for another decade.

what? this is crazy. I have been using .net since 2001 and they have always had a community version or a free way of developing. There is no more concern using MS than there is using any other platform in my opinion. They are divided becaus
