    Uber Knows...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I remember a coworker mentioning this incident to me way back when but I was too busy at the time to notice... Volvo had been bought by some Chinese company, they wanted to show their automatic braking system, this is what happened. I remembered the reference but I never bothered looking until...

    Built a prototype and it works, now what

    Mark Haas, assuming you're an American, the U.S. is a FTF country. The book I recommended will explain the implications of putting your invention up for sale. This is also assuming your invention is patentable to begin with. My advice is to read the book before doing anything else or acting on...

    Built a prototype and it works, now what

    If you are looking for a book about patent statues, drafting/filing patent applications (PPA or RPA), and prosecuting a patent (provisional or regular) application, then I recommend "Patent It Yourself" by David Pressman (actual patent lawyer), Nolo Press. It is a very long book but also easy to...

    Tesla Model 3: Anyone else getting one?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    LOL, you are full of shit and I pegged you on it. I used to supervise junior engineers running HALT tests and you just explained it back to me like you know better. If I wanted an online education I'd register at the University of Phoenix online, thank you very much. You are a total clown.

    Tesla Model 3: Anyone else getting one?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I clearly do understand automotive testing processes for software and hardware. I developed components for OEMs from 2007-2015. The most successful safety-critical product that I developed was mass-produced 8 million units over 5 years without revision. Zero defects. How many units have you...

    Tesla Model 3: Anyone else getting one?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This post is just my opinon on Tesla, and Elon Musk in particular. This post is not directed to any individual. I think Elon Musk's attitude towards pushing his technology is absolutely, sociopath-level crazy. From this article...

    Tesla Model 3: Anyone else getting one?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I think there are some other factors you should also consider: 1) Financials and management of Tesla itself; and, 2) Liability in case of injury/fatality during auto-driving mode. #1: If you check morningstar.com, you can see that Tesla has been bleeding 9 figures quarterly. Also, Tesla has...

    Created my first game, huge success overnight

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Translation: this is too hard, look for something easy. Truth: there is fast money and slow money, but no such thing as easy money. Take a look at your own profile page, literally every post is you telling somebody that what they are doing is something wrong or dumb. You are jumping across the...

    You wrote this overly-negative post as if you really know what you are talking about, like you are some big-shot authority. And it turns out you wrote only, "a couple of apps" yourself. OP is already as experienced as you are, but you still feel compelled to project your bullshit all over him...

    Created my first game, huge success overnight

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Sweet little game, very nice for your first try! I am only a neophyte when it comes to apps, but I know you probably learned a lot on this first endeavor. I am glad to hear you have realistic expectations but especially that you want to, "master the craft." Learning by doing is best! Keep up...

    Haters will hate

    I never heard of this show before, but I always knew of the Young Turks as a political movement that dragged the Ottoman Empire into WW1 and carried out the Armenian Genocide. In my book, naming yourself a Young Turk is like naming yourself a Nazi or Marxist. With that aside, the entire clip...

    Marketing a wake-up alarm that I made

    MARKETING 
    I plan to eventually accommodate any/all bed types. Right now, I only have the one prototype for my bed frame which has 5 support columns. The software is already adjustable for a differing number of support columns. Unfortunately, the chip I am using right now can only support upto 5 sensors...

    Marketing a wake-up alarm that I made

    MARKETING 
    Happy holidays to everyone, I hope you had a festive holiday season and a Happy New Year. But now it is time to get back to work. 1 month ago, I finished building a custom wake-up alarm for myself. This alarm uses weight sensors underneath my bed to sense the total weight of the bed and any...

    Medical app for paramedics

    EXECUTION 
    I'm sorry but I have no idea what this means. Did you find out exactly why they did not want it? Because it sounds like that might be the only thing holding you back from getting sales.

    OPEN INVITATION - Please find my flaws and shoot me down in flames

    Here's my flamethrower (and just guessing around): 1) In organizations that large, it will be hard to find a drone that can actually take your idea and do something with it. 2) Some companies like GE or Rubbermaid have some kind of idea submission webpage. If either of the companies you are...
