Sure, but for less than $20 a month.

That is awesome. Great insights can born from cross pollination.

I am compulsively curious.
I use Ullysses+Delineato for a combination of notes+diagrams to organize my thoughts and now I am feeling like a dactylographer using a word processor for the first time.

ANVISA (Brazilian equivalent of the FDA) has more regulations than FDA for most subjects.
Re:Show HN: Frop.io – painless remote presentations on Thursday February 16, 2017 @08:42AM (#13659774)
Amazing. Works very well on Chrome but Safari (10.0.3) can't do the transition of slides in the demo.

It would be nice to have custom URLs (like mycompany.com/presentations/presentation1) and the ability to invite, have private/secure presentations, calendar integration, automated alerts, ability to register meeting notes, pointer sharing and integrated audio conference (maybe using webrtc?).

Screen sharing is somewhat inconvenient for a remote presentation but this can be pure gold. Congrats.

I think that there are a good number of people that would be interested, plus some companies.

I can imagine a safe place for innovation and experimentation away from dumb regulations and government interference.

Maybe a good model is trough private capital much like a startup.

How many companies and wealthy individuals would not like to have a safe heaven for work and living where you have plenty of space and intact nature?

If Silicon Valley is at peril with Trump (according to some opinions), why not build a Silicon Island.

Sure, this one in Chile is a good example: http://www.privateislandsonline.com/islands/isla-verdugo

Has lakes, a small marina, but is far way from any big city.

However, with gigabit internet and a bunch of interesting people it can become a very good place.

If I had 2M on hand I would start a community there right now.

You can buy a small (~2 ha) undeveloped island for as low as 100,000 USD. Bigger ones cost more depending where they are located. However I saw really big islands (~2,200 ha) for about 2M USD in Chile (I think that is cheap considering that a luxury apartment in my city, Florianópolis, can cost way more than that). Current solar energy solutions and biogas production from waste can form a solid base for a sustainable community.
Now I want to buy an island and build a new kind of community.

There are also great ("best") minds solving real problems in medicine/health.

They are just a trillion times harder/expensive than writing an app.

Better than Tetris. Much better. I think that sums all.

However I second the suggestions to make more clear what actions will led to the column and lateral block elimination. It take me a couple of plays to figure out.

Congratulations for your work.
