I'd agree, but argue that at the same time, you'd want visit in person anyway, so its meaningless from both sides of the market. I had to give up on this idea, so I may be biased. Some people are making money, and there are actual

I had these concerns almost 10 years ago [FB "friend" request from my boss, WAT?]. Clearly, the ship has already sailed and nobody is moving away (at least not for that reason). As others have mentioned, Google Plus had an elegant

Good luck with this. I've tried something similar but didn't get much traction (I also didn't try too hard). My impression was that Realtors don't care and aren't willing to pay a premium for it. Maybe when vr hits

Interesting. I suspected this was the case. I've been contemplating writing a wordpress plugin, and although most of it would be bog standard templating, I would like to be able to do some simple image processing. Being unable to shell

I'm not familiar with wordpress development, so I have trouble understanding why something like this needs to be backed by an external API. Is it because there is no viable method for plugins to reliably run binaries in a cross-platfor

Fair enough, I half expected to get called out. My original comment suggested that what was needed (particularly for non-developers) was a "nice clean user-friendly front end". Wordpress, although incredibly popular, is IMHO, a us

Ok. Have you tried any of the ARM-based hosting providers? A lot of time you'll get bare metal, and most SOCs will have some sort of GPU. Not sure whether it'd be beefy enough to run paraveiw. Here are a couple links, I know nothi

I'll bite. WHY? the crazy spot price? whats wrong with physical hardware? The "cheapest" option is to just buy some graphics cards; but that doesn't scale well. Is that why you need "GPU SERVERS"? Your question
