One decent bet about this market is that it will become a true ride sharing(UBERpool And liftLine are working on that) market. That market have pretty decent network effect(because you need that shared trips will be as optimal as possible

I think the core of luxxotica isn't manufacturing. It's being a 2 sided market,same like ebay - a meeting place between most brands and most consumers.And we know that those types of businesses are very tough to attack, and probab

So we're talking baout knockoff frames.But many(or even most people who care about brands) don't like to buy knockoffs and prefer the real brand.So this will probably carry over to frames.

I don't know, you can buy glasses affordably, say at costco or online and maybe other places(not sure i'm out of the u.s.), and they'll look pretty good. If people "need" to have branded goods, let them pay.

It looks like there's a company, prottero that makes sucrose by bacterias,using a special bioreactor, at less than half the cost, much smaller area and probably much less environmental harm. So it might be that ethanol will be green, o

Sure it's easier to spend with a a wristband. But i could imagine some smartwatch app(or phone app), that really helps you control spending, even better than cash. For example, an app that has a list of things you really really want to

I'm not sure. There were several medical crowd sourcing sites, with patients like me quite successful, but only small incremental advances. Not sure if it's because real research needs more than patient symptoms - it also needs ob

We've had similar stuff like ResearchKit in existence for quite long. One of the most popular of such sites is patientslikeme.com .It and others did a great job around this, but usage is relatively rare. The hard thing about such sites

True, but at that time it was a combination of fashion and design(especially true for the iPhone's early years). But today the design arena is much tougher, with Google becoming very capable in design, and a lot of good ux/ui desi

Problem: the torrent network is not so good for hosting rare files, because often people download rare files, use it once or twice and delete them or place them in another library not accessible to the torrent. So there are file hosting sit

Currently the auto-insurance industry is moving towards usage-based-insurance - which basically measures exactly how you drive your car and estimates your premiums based on that. It have shown to reduce prices by around 15%(and maybe there&

I don't believe ad revenue in self-driving cars will be meaningful. I don't think google will force people to watch ads after they pay for being driven.Maybe only as a discount ,but most will prefer not to, the same way that today

I read some article about bandwidthX which is a wifi bandwidth exchange. And the estimate there was that wireless providers could get around $5 gigabyte.That's far above internet connection charges, and together with the other benefits

Maybe they can manage to build fully free customer support like gifgaf did with their community model. Maybe.

I think the basic idea here ,is for google to learn about the wireless industry from the inside out, and to start create the basics(brand, customer support,etc) needed for a big business in this field. That together with other technical inn

That seems like a useful thing for a small crowdsourcing site to. It's useful information to know before buying a microwave.

Why would a medical body would have problem with a doctor - who doesn't use his title or name - that posts info on a forum ? he isn't deceiving people in any way , and he isn't using his title in a wrong way.

You can always use some other name,not use the title doctor, or even try to stay anonymous-Like the other non-doctors who consult on this platform. I'm sure the non-doctors on this aren't exposed to any legal risk, or else the FDA

This could make the backhaul problem even worse- because in order to get that 35x bandwidth , you have to transport ALL that data to a large group of base-stations,unlike today where you transport data only to the relevant base-station. On

An ex manager from DARPA, which was responsible for similar stuff there said he believes that 5nm is the physical limit of scaling. but making them will be more complex, hence expensive, and he think the economics could stop working before.

One way around this problem(of different densities for transistors and wires), is a new metric that multiplies the resolution of both(lower is better). Intel's metric is 3640, Samsung is 4990.It's from [1]. So Intel has 27% area a
