Or perhaps CockroachDB. I’ll let myself out.

Thank you for the feedback. Sent you an email.

How does outline work? how do they get around the login feature

Good find OP! I wonder how many electronic devices would have similar problems if we took out the covers?

Do research on fast growing internet markets (think Asia/Africa - may need to go one level deeper like a region or major city).

Then see if that country or region has a dominant job board/classified website/real estate listing etc.

Millions of users are just coming to the internet in those countries and have room for growth. Many of the existing websites offer horrible experience.

I would think BBC would do some fact checking. I posted this comment in another blogger's article. [1]

"The author's entire premise is off. The recent filing is a continuation of an application filed on Feb 3, 2000 (see patent 6,609,113). So, Chase wasnt taking a 'swipe' at Bitcoin because the original application was filed 13 years ago."

The author's entire premise is off. The recent filing is a continuation of an application filed on Feb 3, 2000 (see patent 6,609,113). So, Chase wasnt taking a "swipe" at Bitcoin because the original application was filed 13 years ago. (Hmmm, is Chase...Satoshi?)

The real surprising thing is that Amazon is accelerating the post industrial age. The economy is growing but wages are stagnant. A demand for human labor is declining while corporations are making massive profits. These drones are an example where machines are replacing jobs that were once done by humans.

As we pull out of the recession in the US, the fastest growing job market is the low wage/retail jobs. Walmart will have to match the technologies of Amazon as they fight for market share. Leading to more and more automation of human tasks. During this past thanksgiving there were worker strikes in some Walmart stores for a living wage (~$15/hr). What happens to society when these jobs are not even available?

The most interesting part of the 60 minutes interview was not the drones but this:

Charlie Rose: Is Amazon ruthless in their pursuit of market share?

Jeff Bezos: The Internet is disrupting every media industry, Charlie, you know, people can complain about that, but complaining is not a strategy. And Amazon is not happening to book selling, the future is happening to book selling.

so just like comedy, timing is everything?

US has banned 'software patents' long time ago. However, you can still patent a software being performed by a processor or computer, which then becomes 'hardware'. NZ has now caught up with US. It is not what you think it is.

I think PG lives by the KISS method.

Remember "Offer HN" trends? - the entire front page was filled with "Offer HN"

- followed by blog posts about why it sucks

- followed by blog posts telling those people calm down

- people were asking for separate URL for "Offer HN" like "ask"

These things are kinda gimmicky and will usually die off within a week or so.

Getting back to whatever I was doing...
