Hey -- nice job! I have a question: is there a way to use MongoDB in the backend?

I created Juicebox, which lets you listen to youtube/soundcloud songs with other people: https://www.juicebox.dj/ I have made no money off of this. In fact, I've probably paid hundreds in hosting/domain fees.

Wow, this is the exact thing I've been thinking of writing, but so much better. I'm so glad this exists, brb trying it out right now

I agree with that. However, nothing is perfectly inelastic, and so increasing the minimum wage would still increase unemployment, even if only by a little amount.

by lawrencewu 9y ago
Yup!

by lawrencewu 9y ago
It also doesn't mean a decrease in unemployment, which is what this report claims. I'm also still unclear on _how_ a minimum wage would have no effect on unemployment, which is what the law of supply and demand predicts.

by lawrencewu 9y ago
- Raise the minimum wage If we raise the minimum wage, that would surely increase unemployment. Even a minimum wage job is hard to get for an uneducated, unskilled person, so how would it be easier for them to get a job at a rate employers

Easy to say, hard to do. We don't like change. Change means possible danger, it means relinquishing opportunities, it means no safety net. Part of the happiness that comes from a new relationship comes from not just discovering new thi

Nice playlist! Shameless plug, but you can also check out a collection of my favorite songs on my Juicebox: http://www.juicebox.dj/lawrence It's mostly hip-hop, deep house, and experimental music.

I don't know why you are getting downvoted because you're absolutely right. The first three markets named (airlines, telecommunications, health care) are all heavily regulated and the barrier to entries are controlled by the gover

I don't think this is a good solution. Where is the incentive for anyone to maintain properties anymore? "Owners of valuable land would be forced to make maximum use of land with higher density rentals in order to make sufficient

It rubs me the wrong way too. But rationally, it's just your classic price discrimination tactics (coupons and special discounts) on steroids, so if you aren't upset by those, you shouldn't be upset by this. I guess my main i

So is it unfair when someone uses a coupon they found in a flyer? They're not paying the same price for the same item as someone without a coupon, and people using coupons are likely to be less affluent. And what about student discount

This article paints a pretty good description of how price discrimination is used in online shopping and how places like Amazon try to extract consumer surplus. I don't know if I agree with the title's claim, though. If a product

I've been working for about a year now on Juicebox, which is like turntable.fm but better: - Can play from YouTube and SoundCloud - Autoplay makes a juicebox more like a radio station that plays your favorite tracks - Allowing users to

I'll consider adding that functionality. Thanks for the feedback!

You're not supposed to be able to pause. But this is a UI flaw. Sorry about that -- I've disabled interactions on the player so it's more clear.

One difference is that Juicebox is still alive :P Kidding aside, one feature I really like about Juicebox is that it will play songs that have been previously added to the queue. One problem I had with turntable.fm and plug.dj was that it r

Juicebox is a great way to share your music with others. You can create rooms, add songs, and share the URL with others, and they will be synced to the same song as you when they join. It's built on React, Node.js, and Firebase. I&#x27
