I’m just waiting for Truth Social to be identified as a potential buyer.

See the inauguration fund. Money completely unaccounted for and that his team is saying pay to get exclusive access to Trump. It’s pay to play and it’s legal (at least for Americans).

Making child care affordable.

The article mentions he was a remote worker up front. I think his job was telemarketing.

And if you bent the frame of the car and broke the suspension and did some damage to the sensors on your suspension? In the US it would cost a fortune and it wouldn’t shock me if it costs 70% of the value of the car.

The outrage is justified if the screen cracked due to a manufacturing defect. Otherwise, get over it and be careful with your stuff if you can’t afford the repair.

And before you send something off, ask questions. The shipping costs I’m sure would have been disclosed.

The largest floating solar under development that I know of is in Seychelles. It’s about 5MW. Haven’t heard much on the development timeline post Covid.

I don’t think the systems are new or unique. We test drive a Kia last weekend and it was a feature they called “Driver Attention Warning.”

I’ve seen this in other brands and cars as well.

It looks like these systems use a variety of factors, steering patterns, frequency of vehicle lane assist being activated, cameras evaluating driver, biometrics (heart rate, body temperature etc.), and face monitoring/eye tracking (to see if the driver is focused on the road).

We own a Volvo and have received surveys asking about our comfort level with these features, so I’m assuming this will be commonplace soon.

A fundamental difference is that for Americans, natural resources are owned by the individual property owner rather than the state. If you find oil on your land in the US, it is yours and you decide what to do with it. In most other countries if there is oil on your land, the government has the exclusive right to oil (or other sub-surface minerals).

Does Google use this data to help train its self driving cars and maps for identifying information?

I feel like every captcha is about a street scene of some sort... house numbers, cars, motorcycles, hydrants, stop lights etc.

Yes it is. See a link from the Department of Labor below.

We tried and failed on my team. We switched to Basecamp instead. Found it got rid of a lot of the time wasting and helped us focus on real issues.

What drove us was a cultural shift away from immediate responses to task based responses. If you do stay with slack it seems like shifting that culture is the most thing to focus on.

I think he's going to go on an acquisition spree to enhance their market share outside of the US.

Watch the international space closely, uber had to retrench itself from a few international markets and it seems like those decisions may get revisited.

This is a "courageous" decision ;)

From their most recent 10Q, Alphabet currently breaks down their revenue into two segments:

"Our reported segments are described below:

• Google – Google includes our main internet products such as Search, Ads, Commerce, Maps, YouTube, Apps, Cloud, Android, Chrome, Google Play as well as hardware products we sell, such as Chromecast, Chromebooks and Nexus. Our technical infrastructure and newer efforts like Virtual Reality are also included in Google. Google generates revenues primarily from advertising, sales of digital content, apps and cloud offerings for enterprise, as well as sales of Google branded hardware.

• Other Bets – Other Bets is a combination of multiple operating segments that are not individually material. Other Bets includes businesses such as Access/Google Fiber, Calico, Nest, Verily, GV, Google Capital, X, and other initiatives. Revenues from the Other Bets are derived primarily through the sales of Nest hardware products, internet and TV services through Google Fiber and licensing and R&D services through Verily."

I was going to work on this. It's really interesting how it works and it is now producing 26 MW of electricity (40% of Rwanda's supply). It's estimated to have capacity to generate another 800 MW.

The technology started with a local brewery needing a stable power source. It's super cool. The platform they use is huge.

It's amazing how political maps are. I wonder what method Google uses to determine borders. Disputed borders and states must be a nightmare to deal with.

I remember reading a while back that if two states have a border dispute, Google rendered the border differently based on your IP address. I wonder if that is still going on here.

Football (Soccer) is so much bigger globally than American football, it's not even close. The Super Bowl attracts 100 million viewers, a Real Madrid vs Barca game attracts 400 million viewers (a regular season game, not even champions league).

This is actually a really bad idea because of attorney-client privilege issues. By having a third party record the call, Uberconference or Gmail or Rev or Zapier itself, and it being sent forward to several other services, Soylent most likely waived any claim of privilege they may have in the event of litigation.

If you are a company considering doing this I would be very cautious.

I commend the hack, but unfortunately the legal world of ethics isn't moving as fast as technology.

I guess I meant register the domain. Thanks for the TN shoutout :)

I'm not sure the site is updating though. cry.bz still shows up for sale and I bought it a few minutes before the comment above. Might need to update that feature

I just bought cry.bz... anyone want to make an airbnb clone targeted at high end crybz? I'm also open to other ideas, I can finance the development of the site etc if there is a good idea out there.

And great site though, its really easy to use, nice work!

I think this is a great idea. I really don't want to advertise that I'm looking for work by putting the little suitcase next to my name on linkedin, my employer would know immediately if they ever looked.

Interesting take on a real problem.

Excellent Article. Good for you Jason!

Crime is an issue but shouldn't be a complete deterrent. The political environment is a bigger concern scares people off. The BEE/indiginization issues are very real and should be considered.

With that said, I would live in Cape Town in a heartbeat, great food, culture, people etc.

In Africa, I would consider

Kenya: good internet speeds,

Ghana: booming local economy,

Nigeria: lots of entrepreneurial spirit,

Angola: 4G network

A good way to store them is a physical copy in an old address book. Use the alphabetical directory for the site name and then you won't have to worry about forgetting them.

There are some hilarious passwords listed, just keep entering combinations of profanity to see. f*you is there etc.

I have not validated the idea yet, that's what I need help with doing. I think the best way to validate it is to build a prototype of some sort (it's really shouldn't be too complicated to build a simple prototype, I just don't have the skills).

I am planning on validating the idea at a startup weekend event next month.

please pass along any contact information. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
