Counselors are more like it. Or a stranger at the bar you can vent to. Therapists do more from my personal experience.
Apps like this is something you planned to build but don't care for regardless of wealth potential...and you wished someone built it for you. It sucks that this took almost a decade (usually have to wait 3, 5, 10 years if you wait for someone else to build it) but glad someone decided to do it!
Thank goodness...and hopefully more competitors (choices) to come in the future. Good luck!
I've always wondered about the timing when population control was first implemented, and their intent.
1. Did population control allow Han Chinese/CCP to maintain their dominance in size over the growing minorities who were largely still living the agrarian lifestyle?
2. Minorities' would have their growth exponentially reduced over a hundred year.
3. And by increasing it now, Han Chinese can now exponentially grow again with momentum over minorities.
So in the background, it seems there's more than meet the eye to maintain Han Chinese power over other minorities in the country.Similar to Japanese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people) and other "race"; same strategy and intent, different tactic.

I'm non-technical but very concern about privacy. I use Firefox, DuckDuckGo, Private Internet Access VPN, Signal and Tails. I have 2 computers; one for searching, another for business.I can follow how-tos but beyond that, I'm shooting in the dark and listening to "experts" to help me avoid the privacy invasive networks.Please shed some light on Brave vs Firefox?
irrelevant but i remember a week ago someone on here said that books nowadays are written with the assumption that you would be in front of a computer to try the examples out. but decades ago, you read books in the evening and then come morning, you get to try out the code at the lab. authors today crammed so much in book than necessary.
i wonder if cs unplugged is better than godot gaming for teaching 8-10 year olds how to think and code.
is there a list of recommended writings i can study on morals?
what about zoho? i use it for business but is it viable and friendly for non-tech literate families? I simply connect zoho to thunderbird.
Um...is this effective overall or does it feel the government's resource is being misdirected at a superficial level. How hard is it to get to the root of evil?
"Politically Correct" penetrates software -- Support at your own peril -- you may be the next victim.
AV industry will never be the same.
Poor logic. We sleep eventually.
Can someone explain if knowing someone nowadays can mean a ruin career by modern day social witch hunt or is there a darker reason behind Joi Ito resigning?
It's fascinating to see a white or black person make it big in an Asian country; in the startup sense, does this mean their ethnic and skin color became their USP and advantage? The same thing I've seen happen when a black or white person show up in talk shows in S. Korea, Japan, and China. Oh, let's not forget Jonny Olsen

The saying goes, you're only limited by your thinking 〰️ think big!
I still haven't found the patience to master Gimp the way you have mastered Photoshop :\
What would be some fundamentals you can recommend that's not new frameworks with unpredictable lifespan?
For a second, thought you were describing Netflix's algorithm.
It made billions for companies. The rule of thumb is to start off "legal", build a big audience with huge benefits to the companies you're burrowing the data from, then quickly shift to legal. If you're not fast enough, you're dead. Web scraping and crawling has become less acceptable because the market leaders carved out the niches before you in a very "legal" way, and DO NOT want you as a competitor.
Kevin Hale did a video on Startup Ideas and in it, he mentioned some of the business (wufoo, reddit, etc) that got into Y Combinator and/or received investment just with an idea without writing any code at all. So it does seem possible even if you're not an outlier.

1. Solid product idea
2. Business strategy
3. Founder's skillset
Thanks. I'll refer back to this as the development progresses.

If I have a startup that's been funded with up to $1,000,000 but no MVP, what would it take for you to join given I do have a detail mock-up / blueprint? E.g., money, job security, environment? I want to build a technical team after some of the top 500 e-business agreed to be early adopters through connections.
Shit. What about NO DEGREE in general?
Right. AFAIK, China is unlike Japan, UK, or USA. To operate with similar economic structure and policies will be suicide to a country as big as China where millions of people are still farmers and villagers and way under poverty level. We have to look at competition too. It seems China wants to develop a mature marketplace, so native companies have room to compete with the outside world. Else, there wouldn't be a Baidu, Youku, or JD.

Today, I woke up sympathizing with older people for their contribution in science while people like me take for granted the hours of sweat, blood, and divorces it took to lay the foundation for the 21st Century. You risked so much for millennial. You are my heroes regardless of the accolades you received or didn't because you participated in transforming the world.Sorry, older programmers,...
Who was it that said "comparison" is the source of all evil? Everyone gets caught up in it. What to do that works for me is to practice gratitude and feel inspired from people ahead of me regardless of age. They might just end up as a boss, friend, partner, lover, savior.
As a tech illiterate, what makes DAT superior to the standard p2p and blockchain technology? If my understanding is wrong, can someone explain in laymen term why DAT matters for the future?
Firefox Preview is dope. Hot off the shelf, and it's as swift as a fox. Maybe hopeful but I feel this browser is on fire. Now just need to work on the ux like the button for `read` mode. Bye, G.
What?! If I don't know about it, just imagine how many "average" people like me who are out of the loop when it comes to ocean animals. How can the world powers come together to sign a ban on this? This is awful.
Kind of like QWERTY vs DVORAK keyboard. Qwerty just works; but technically, Dvorak IS faster. The design presented is definitely a well-thought mash up of what I've come across through multiple projects with creative and cutting-edge UI/UX.
