Ah, I guess I missed that, might be nice to get a link in the story header / footer if possible. Sometimes tricky to scan body text for a link. Cool product / story by the way!

Strangely, the article doesn't link to the actual product site or have very clear pictures of the product. Here's a link to the site: https://origamei.com

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how this has anything to do with "cracking" the algorithm, or really with cracking anything. YouTube openly admits to having a metric for scoring videos, which, of course they

I know you didn't ask for suggestions, but here's mine: the one thing I care about a CRM doing really well is pipeline / funnel management, i.e, the ability to define a set of stages that a contact goes through to close a dea

I don't want to have a big debate over what will and what won't happen in China in the future as I see you and I are working from very different assumptions and have very different approaches for extrapolating into the future. I&#

This is completely unfounded speculation not found in that article or in any other writing on the topic(s) (of social credit scores and the study the great nation app). Or possibly it's an attempt at some dark humor through hyperbole.

For what it's worth, I just tried opening the supposedly blocked site using Wechat, in China, on a Chinese phone (xiaomi) with a Chinese mobile plan (China unicom) and it works fine. Not sure if that's because it was never actuall

No particular preference - I'm fairly comfortable in South East Asia already, so that would be slightly easier - but anywhere would be fine - Africa or Central America seem like good options as well. I just can't seem to find any

It looks like you have some videos on youtube that make the product look interesting, such as: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG5bOsUFb-4 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2-cEEu3ZHU You should probably

This would be a great product for a non-profit to improve on. Some of the restrictions (only 7k characters stored, consumption of expensive resources like paper, ink ribbons, correction tape, etc) could be fairly easily and cheaply fixed by
