7 bucks a month is hardly ransom. it would be better than automatically making private repo's public when you stop paying

thats insane thats about 10X more than we have in Europe

In The Netherlands, the transit card create a great deal of budget. By having a digital card that you need to top up. You end up with money on a card that isn't used. Thus the transit company suddenly has €20-€50 extra cash available per train user. The intrest even generates pretty good money I can imagine

why don't you just share it and print it as need at other locations? the data is all readable

Does that mean Uber now has to listen to all taxi rules and regulation in all of Europe?

I'm expecting Tesla to make truck drivers pay for faster charging. this might be a way to reduce initial costs.

I don't know about the US but in my country manual agricultural labor pays so much only immigrants living in hay barns can afford to do the work. for everyone else it doesn't pay enough to do the work

while true, this doesn't tell you the whole story. insurance, taxes and pension are calculated way differently from the US. Also prices for those 3 are way different.

care to elaborate?

Airtight homes doesnt mean no ventilation but no cracks in walls and doors and window framing

As a UX designer finding out what users want is a large part of my job. Firstly you look at your own goal; let say you are tasked to build an app for commuters who travel by car everyday. The client is a navigation company.

First you identify who your target audience is, your client might know some about this but it's important to also talk to other related people. So you start to talk to commuters, but also moms who bring their kids to school, traffic cops, people at highway stops, anyone. At the beginning you talk about their experiences, what do they do and why?

Then you want to formulate insights from these interviews and what you have learned from research, for example: Commuters get annoyed by loud noises and honking while standing in a traffic jam.

Then you could ask people who you talked to previously to come in and help design something. (this is also a good moment to ask more questions of you have those) Do a session about people drawing their experiences on a white board and brainstorming together with you and other participants in how this might be solved.

Then you build a MVP and test this with your commuters

Then you improve and iterate and test this again.

If the vibes are good you continue to develop your product.
