Well, there's obviously that but since we built this on your FB graph, you'd be delivering stuff from either friends or friends of friends at worst. I feel Walmart is doing this and worse by asking neighbors to deliver your stuff.

Back in 2007, I made neverplayalone.com to find activity partners. Within a few days of launch, someone pointed out three things - Meetup was gaining traction, URL sounded risqué, and never to use negative words like never in the URL. In 20

While I don't disagree with you, Redfin has been in business since 2004. 13 years is a long time to take to kill off realtors. I'm in the process of selling my place and I'm using a realtor (who nearly matched Redfin's s

How cynical and self serving does one have to be to invent terms like "clean coal/diesel" and "clear skies act" instead of accepting that the world is ready for proper environmental stewardship? I mean, even Philip

Thought you'd like to know that my employer blocks sourceforge by policy but let's GitHub through though they're both code sharing platforms. You'll have to change perceptions at the corp level too.

Off topic but it's heartening to me that after 3 hours, this thread has no replies. To me, this could be because of two reasons - 1. People believe most of their favorite softwares are already open source OR 2. They don't think hi

The way the question is worded, it seems to me that you have a product idea which you want validated. I'd be wary of this method of building sideprojects because it will close you off to other, possibly better ways of achieving your en

It's a matter of practice. 500 km is 312.5 miles. At 60 mph, this is about 5 hours of driving. You can definitely handle 5 hours of driving at one shot. Start at a time when you don't expect to feel sleepy for the next 5 hours and

While I don't know the answer, this is what I'm thinking: 1. I should be able to "monitor" user behavior - anyone who starts using the VPN to transact 1TB+ gets their license revoked. 2. Have a terms of use which acts as

Maybe the seller could've recorded as many serial numbers of parts of the Mac as possible? Ive not bought or sold stuff on eBay in years so I don't know if this would've helped.

While I agree with everything you said, I feel your argument should stand on its own merit. Just because a corporations screw people isn't a good enough reason for people to screw them back. Your point that the risk premium you pay whi
