I think you'll need to implement a queue of some sort. if it's locked while the message is being edited, then any amount of serious traffic will block the whole thing and turn people away.

So instead of leaving a message for the next person, put a message in the queue, and each time somebody visits grab the next message in the queue.

I'm still confused why that happened. I walk in lots of crowded places and am perfectly capable of not "trampling children" without a need to vocally warn them about my movement... Like, just if you're going to run into a kid... just Don't do that?

You say a lot that startups should collect revenue very early. If my startup is currently just a side-project and I haven't yet incorporated, what's the legal concern of collecting payment?

I feel like startups like Door Dash have dealt with this, but I was just wondering if there's anything I should be aware of.

This is great! I was just thinking about something similar, perhaps you'd like to work it in.

basically, it would automatically assign meeting times, based on who's meeting, for how long, except that it would be scheduling several meetings, and take those into account.

I.e. throughout the week various employees in an office would simple set meetings for "friday"

The system would compile all the meetings that take place, and schedule them, to the best of their ability, so that no two meetings would conflict. On thursday night, the times are finalized and the meetings are placed on attendees calendars.

You'd need some sort of conflict resolution, but if you ran it each time for each meeting request came in, you could alert the involved parties immediately.

I can't give you any advice about working in a shitty boring job you hate, because I myself am quite terrible at it, but I think Paul Graham has already answered one of your questions.

If you're serious about making a business out of a side project, PG once talked about how you shouldn't try to think about ideas that are "good startup ideas" Instead he says, work on things that you find profoundly interesting. When you've hit something that users love, the idea according to him his, it will take over your life and you will know that your side project is no longer a side project, but a startup. So I wouldn't worry about if you think your ideas are bad, as long as they are interesting to you, work on them.

It's too bad there's not a market place to offload store credit where you have it and exchange it for where you need it.

You'd have to adjust for supply and demand, I may only be able to get 80 cents of Best Buy credit for every dollar of Walmart I offload.

Yes, now it's a very specific, tough to get in trade school.

You might recall it was quite a luxury to have a mobile phone not too long ago.

Demand for this kind of education might persuade others to implement a similar model, and I don't see any major roadblocks for other areas.

Employers will finally get graduates with work experience, as well as access to cheap intern labor.

Looks worth exploring if nothing else.

My what a wonderful ivory tower you must live in. I just think it's weak. If being anti-NN is so incredibly stupid, shouldn't refuting the points they make be trivial? why not just do it, and safe yourself the trouble of being accused of sitting one-step up on the debate pyramid from "Name-calling"?

Yes, I happen to be anti-NN, no, I do not think that the way things currently are works. No I do not think the cable companies operate fairly in a free market.

Sorry, I'm anti-NN, sorry I joined only 11 days ago. I can assure you. the two are not related. Again, if elsewhere in this thread, I'm making points you disagree with. attack and refute the points themselves. How else can anyone ever think you have the slightest idea you know what you're talking about, if all you can do is spout people's account age and karma ratings? if being anti-NN is so trivially stupid, shouldn't you be able to point this out quite simply?

How is it that nobody thinks forcing people to obtain a license for broadcasting isn't censorship, and/or forced monopoly? Like how do you reason yourself into believing those two things are false?

Like, the biggest problem is that people are unhappy with comcast and there's no alternative. Then they get the bright idea that making entry into the market harder will fix this problem?
