I drink in his old local. A bit weird in there I would imagine if you're an American. Although I am a bit American and it is a bit weird in there.
Why couldn't Apple pull their finger out of their asses and make their own AI nonsense better then Crap GPT?

Hey!I wondered if anyone could tell me the feasibility of developing a Chrome extension that could collect microdonations at the checkout?It could work a little like Moneybox here in the UK or Acorns over in the US, which collect micropayments on purchases via "rounding up" and put them in a savings account.For example a pop up may ask before payment is made, "Would you like to plant a tree for...
Thank you, what a great idea! :)
Yes, i can see a Roger Corman movie about it now..Attack of the Crab Monsters Part 2 hides behind a tree not that i've watched it all, i like Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzeneggar films
Birmingham that's what it was called
did you see that documentary on netflix, burning man? can't remember, they lost everyones money and were paying influencers, like, $200,000 bucks a post..if i'm wrong about the festival name i mean no disrespect.
does the MLM thing actually work for all that sign up? i never got into them
micro influencers, the data's useless.. it's against Facebook T's and C's to scrape from Instagram.
I worked for two start ups of roughly that size back in the days of boo.com
...make sure the people are kind :)

Thank you, Ben. I think at the moment i'm getting back on my feet and a project of that magnitude would push me over the edge. I don't think it's as easy as just building an app. and suddenly all Uber drivers will use it. It's a nice idea, naive perhaps, but it does make me sad that the drivers I do speak to seem to be really struggling.

so i was chatting to an Uber driver the other evening and like many, he was saying he barely scrapes by, as it becomes this global behomoth...anyway, so i thought what if they all just do their own Uber? I know Uber has first mover advantage and a pretty defensible model, but then again, so did Sky TV until Democracy Player came along.

A while ago I wrote a paper for my MA on this. I wondered if there was some kind of way the creators of music etc. could directly license to ISP's access to their works, sold in bundles (i.e. music bundle for $x, movie bundle for $x etc.). I know it might be a pipe dream, but if musicians, movie makers and hackers in poorer countries could somehow directly participate in it (without silly...
...you see even IF Uber prohibit drivers from using their own app between rides, if they all just agree, they can just go fuck it, we've had enough. anyone here ever spoken to a happy Uber driver?
Me neither. Wife...family..kids meanwhile Kalanick gets his $6bn...NICE.
it's when the black cab driver and uber driver shake hands, make an app OWNED by the drivers, that drivers get more dough and Uber go bust. Wouldn't be difficult.
