awesome idea, certainly a taxi-medalion that was portable in nyc could be a godsend to people who don't want to do opposite side parking. Also, places with a lot of vacation or second homes would be a candidate if they keep a second ca

Not sure I follow you. Angel investing may or may not make sense (for the average punter). But for those who do it sucessfully, it seems rare to take <fractional> percentages. Maybe you can give some worked examples using math? I&#x27

The responses in that Dropbox thread were pretty solid though. To all the naysayers, I mean. It's sort of a ritual format to test any new idea with the back and forth. That in and of itself isn't a problem. Real problems: Dismissi

Companies are under no obligation to co-operate. I also think you're mis-under-estimating how news stories are written. Maybe this is an opportunity for people who specialize in telephone surveys? As boss or an employee question is abo

Nothing in this post involved distortion of customer data. They just linked up transcation time/date and geo-location data. Then did some simple math. It's not out of the question that your payment processor could replicate this a
