My wife is a traditional "professional". When she has a 1:1 with her boss, her boss gives her advice on how to move up. They talk about what she needs to do for a promotion etc. I've never personally experienced that. If

This definately has a market, but i'm not sure SaaS is it. More typical eCommerce products have a "flavor of the day" like effect, where an article is written in some niche community, and everyone in that community rushes ou

The good podcasts take a decent amount of prep work. Hardcore history, probably one of the best has months between episodes because Dan puts an incredible amount of research into each episode. On a side note, my dream podcast would be one

This is true, the problem is people are trying to co-opt the urgency of the problem to funnel in unrelated agendas. Saikat Chakrabarti for example, in an article published in the Washington Post said that the Green New Deal was about redes

The data that google has holed up that I want more than anything else would be trends, broken down by page number. As interesting as the data of how often people search for a term is, I find it far more interesting when they can't fin

Damn, that's a great idea. I'm going to seriously look into building that. I think the power of this, is it gives the tools the ability to grow as the team does. Initially it's a simple wordpress like get it done thing. B

This reminds me of the time Opera made some big annoucement in 2009 that they were going to "reinvent the web", and when they finally revealed what it was, it was basically host some files from your browser. https://www

This sounds really interesting to me, I have a bunch of items I can think of where this might be useful to automate (for example, my wife and I have different bank accounts, but share a credit card for points reasons... givng my wife a stat

Woodworking is still a hobby for me (I don't think i'd want it to be anything but a hobby) but I've recently started building my own CAD program for woodworkers (I use sketchup, but when I switched to Linux, it only works on

I'd print one, but my state AG made it illegal for people in my state to download the blueprints for one. I've been tempted to get on a proxy, download the file, print out a few copies of the source in book form, and slip it in ou

If I was to print out an encrypted message, and publish it in a book, would you agree that the government has a right to ban that book?

Question, beacause i'm not familiar enough with how trees "suck" co2 out of the air. This study is saying it would take something like 100 forests the size of France to solve the climate change problem by tree growth alone.

> I don't think I've seen one that is genuine The eCommerce site I used to work at was 100% genuine, though might have been a few minutes delayed as we had a bunch of caching layers due to our scale.

That's a workable issue. If a random and unique guid is asking for results, it would be hard to correlate users. Of course there would defiantely be an issue with how you generate the guid (for example if it was generated by the users

Personally, I don't want "The page rank algorithm" I want 100 page rank algorithms made by 100 people. Transparency is important, but I think competition is more important.

I like this idea of people dreaming about a new internet :D The idea of moving to a pub-sub like system is a good one. It makes a lot of sense for what the internet has become. It's more than simple document retreival today.

I've had this idea floating in my head for a while, that one thing that might make the world better is some kind of distributed database, and a gravitation back to open protocols (though instead of RFC's... maybe we could maintain

I've never been to church, except for the occasional funeral. So i'm not really familiar with how collection plates or tithes work. But maybe the church of open source could find a priest to get some advice. Or at the very leas

Is it though? I totally support the idea of the action, but it really feels like it should have come from congress. They are supposed to be the law makers. It feels like everytime congress fails, and we have to resort to executive action

It would be so surprising if they didn't. People put a lot of money into their rigs. VR is such a natural thing to move to here.

I've always wondered how many of these solicitations already have a recipient already choosen, but the law mandates you have to ask publically first. Does anyone have any experience trying to bid on one of these contracts?

I sometimes wonder if Zuck, at some point realized he didn't have the charisma to become president, but then realized he didn't need it. Facebook could start using its ability to mint currency as a way to bring in the government

Not sure if this is standard, but what I usually do is bump the version only on a breaking change. So if I add a field, nothing new happens. Remove a field, or fundumentally change the output, then I bump it up.
