Apps like this is something you planned to build but don't care for regardless of wealth potential...and you wished someone built it for you. It sucks that this took almost a decade (usually have to wait 3, 5, 10 years if you wait for someone else to build it) but glad someone decided to do it!

Thank goodness...and hopefully more competitors (choices) to come in the future. Good luck!

kamfc | 4 years ago | on: China allows couples to have three children

I've always wondered about the timing when population control was first implemented, and their intent.

1. Did population control allow Han Chinese/CCP to maintain their dominance in size over the growing minorities who were largely still living the agrarian lifestyle? 2. Minorities' would have their growth exponentially reduced over a hundred year. 3. And by increasing it now, Han Chinese can now exponentially grow again with momentum over minorities.

So in the background, it seems there's more than meet the eye to maintain Han Chinese power over other minorities in the country.Similar to Japanese (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ainu_people) and other "race"; same strategy and intent, different tactic.

irrelevant but i remember a week ago someone on here said that books nowadays are written with the assumption that you would be in front of a computer to try the examples out. but decades ago, you read books in the evening and then come morning, you get to try out the code at the lab. authors today crammed so much in book than necessary.

i wonder if cs unplugged is better than godot gaming for teaching 8-10 year olds how to think and code.

what about zoho? i use it for business but is it viable and friendly for non-tech literate families? I simply connect zoho to thunderbird.

It's fascinating to see a white or black person make it big in an Asian country; in the startup sense, does this mean their ethnic and skin color became their USP and advantage? The same thing I've seen happen when a black or white person show up in talk shows in S. Korea, Japan, and China. Oh, let's not forget Jonny Olsen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNm7k2PUGzI =)

The saying goes, you're only limited by your thinking 〰️ think big!

kamfc | 6 years ago | on: Web Scraping and Crawling Are Perfectly Legal, Right? (2017)

It made billions for companies. The rule of thumb is to start off "legal", build a big audience with huge benefits to the companies you're burrowing the data from, then quickly shift to legal. If you're not fast enough, you're dead. Web scraping and crawling has become less acceptable because the market leaders carved out the niches before you in a very "legal" way, and DO NOT want you as a competitor.
