I thought you meant the count is updated as people vote and that count is made public. So if candidate A and B are neck and neck and I had planned on voting for candidate C who is trailing, after seeing that number I might vote for candidat

How might the available pool of drivers look if Uber and Lyft had to hire all of them as W-2 employees? There are drivers who only log in a few hours a week or even once every few months. It could not be cost-effective to pay benefits for s

The hosting costs would be astronomical for a startup to offer free HD video hosting in the modern era. Google had deep pockets to buy them and pay for servers for all of the years YouTube was not profitable. A viral video like Gangnam styl

I bet that most startups fail because of failure to find the right product/market fit, not because they couldn't build the tech. It might be better to find the market first, and then build the tech afterwards.
