My sister has spent the last ~15 years in nonprofit management, she consistently says that marketing and outreach are 30-40% of the budget at the nonprofits she works with, many of which have annual donations in the 8 figures. Socially it&#

There are tens of millions of US customers who live in areas that never receive snow and rarely receive rain. It's clear there are a few different technical solutions, and probably the engineers working on these problems will think of

Everyone working on autonomous vehicles is facing a similar issue, and it's also one that human drivers are pretty bad at. Most people solve it by not going outside as frequently with snow on the roads. Tesla's goal is high fidel

Essentially inventory management for locks, including the specific bitting(s) for each lock? That actually sounds really fun to build, not terribly challenging, and probably has huge market reach. One quick challenge though, my understandin

I don't agree, although I do appreciate your point. The test of infrastructure is whether society would grind to a halt if it disappeared tomorrow. So let's assume as of midnight tonight, Amazon ceases to operate. What happens? I
