I'm with those who said it's in the market, for various reasons. In pretty much all respects, it's about the numbers. Is there a big enough existing market/potential market for your product as it is? Are there borderline

Some people do, but most are worried they'll be blamed for either the fact that the problem exists in the first place (complainers, criticizers), for rocking the boat (whistleblowers, trouble-makers), or for fixing it wrong (stupid, ca

I can't point firmly to a specific example without spending some time re-researching it, but I know I've read of certain products -- mosquito nets, more efficient little stoves for cooking, solar cookers, etc. -- that are adapted

I am no expert, but if I understand correctly, a blog can generate passive income from archives, although this requires that you steadily update the current content (to retain and/or increase site traffic). Not sure this would meet you

In addition to oaxacamatt's excellent advice, you can use Excel or create a Google spreadsheet to track your expenses over the course of a month, or even a week; make budget categories, write everything down, and then start by using a

Take a quick look at the news (in your sector/from your competitors), and then take a walk. It's amazing what will mix around in your head while you're out doing something else, away from a screen.

Think I'm a hybrid vs. pure technical founder, though I am doing all the frontend and in theory will be doing some of the backend too. I spend 90% of my day coding.

What I'd like to see is a review of his plans, i.e., is this truly feasible? And also, I'd like to see the critique balanced against that of windmills: Is the noise comparable? (Sounds like this design would have a greater noise f

If I understand the idea correctly, you'd be swapping out your (depleted from a road trip) battery for someone else's (or Tesla's, if they shifted to a model where they provide some of the batteries at the swap-out stations),

Yeah, it seems to me there is some tradeoff that could likely be expressed in a mathematical equation between distracting the public and therefore in theory not jeopardizing the status quo of intelligence gathering, and the cost of a too-la

Though I'll believe it when I see it in (user) action, this would make a huge difference, IMHO, in the usability of the car. It would make it truly feasible to drive to Tahoe from the Bay Area, for example. That's something I&#x
