I don't know if this is exactly what you were thinking of, but Epic Games is using Trello to visualize their work on their store. They are well behind their competitors, so this is a way to show people that needed features are on the w

Some banks partner with services that allow you to send money to a phone number or email address, but the experience isn't great. For example, I once offered to reimburse a friend for travel expenses using such a service. He agreed, fo

Forget cash, why don't we have checks? A check is just a piece of paper authorizing a transfer of funds from a bank account to a person or entity named in the TO field. Why can't I go on my banking app and generate a cryptographic

Another anecdote about Florida: I bike almost every day during good weather in Chicago and though I know it isn't the safest activity, I've never had a serious incident. I traveled to Florida last Fall and was struck by a car on m

I know that the value we place on things varies, but it amazes me that people are willing to have ads play during a family dinner rather than pay $5/month. That single dinner probably cost two to three times that amount.

The existence of Patreon and similar services gives me hope that we can one day have a viable way to fund websites besides advertising. It seems like at present, one or two person teams (e.g. small podcasts and YouTube channels) can survive

No, but I only log in once a month using incognito mode and I never post. I take any conversations over to email or SMS. I can't leave completely, but I can limit the value that they get from me.

The Toyota Mirai can store 5kg of hydrogen (giving it a 500km range). This system would require about 150kg of inert material to store the same amount of hydrogen. That's only about three times the weight of a full tank of gas and does
