The intent of specifically including fentanyl is to not criminalize having drugs that have it mixed in. Ideal world, we remove fentanyl from the supply all together, sadly in Vancouver many of the deaths are from contaminated supply. There are general fears of getting drugs tested (its free) so people don't. This will help, but it's not a total solution.

Node-Red 4 years ago

I use Node-Red for automating many work related tasks with the team I manage. One thing I wish it supported was multiple accounts that have separate flows. Even better would be support to separate where flows run from the UI, on a per users basis. I could host a worker node with our infra at work, allowing me to work with some of the more sensitive data and share it more openly with my peers.

All in all, it’s been a great tool to use.

Oh man, I just ranted about this at work.

* Transferring money to our clients would ideally be one uniform API request. Globally speaking, moving money around can still be complicated depending on what your business does, how much money you are transferring and the origin/destination. API's could enable a new level of communication about moving money around that could satisfy many countries needs to track/audit about money transfers while making it easier for businesses to actually do it. * Reconciliation of statements with whatever software you use. Right now, there are a lot of different formats for getting account statements. Our bank's commercial services doesn't actually provide a standard format at all. They have a CSV like TXT file that has not documentation and that only Sage Accounting can read. Brilliant! An Open API could allow us to query an account and format out in any standard format we need; or, even better, just directly hook up to our accounting software (Xero) and be done with it. * Integrations. Most integrations are giant hacks right now that simulate a browser logging in with your full access password and download statements/etc. API's could provision access to specific end-points and be revoked. It would greatly enhance security all around. * Automation. Our business pays our our customers on a weekly basis, but it would be awesome if we just checked a box "Approved" and it did all the magic of moving money around. * There are literally some things we need to call our bank to do, but are really just operations their web interface doesn't allow us to do. Ideally, an API would allow us to write our own flow to complete these same operations without bothering our bank.

Honestly, the less I have to deal with any bank with our startup the happier I am.

Startup idea: Create a tech specific credit union that exposes a straightforward API to do banking. Expand to integrations with popular online accounting software and eventually personal banking. Starting from scratch would hopefully let you build a front facing service that is modern.

I am on one of the teams in this documentary. They are catching some amazing footage of dynamics and challenges startsups face. Worth whatever you can afford to give on IndieGogo :-)

You can add my vote to, "Clients pay for my shits". They also pay for me reading Reddit and YComb. Honestly, 15 minutes isn't going to break any billing you have. Now, if you happen to take a lot of "breaks", you may want to stick with your current system. I'm a one "break" a day kind of guy...
