Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm glad you're doing the research before taking the leap. There are lots of safe neighbourhoods and only a few I would avoid. Let me know if you have any questions about city. Unfortunately, I'm not involved with any startups at the moment but would love to get involved with the right one (take a leap of my own). I moved back to this city about a year ago after being overseas for six years. I rushed the move due to…

Is there a way to contact you? Your profile does not say.

Of course. You can reach out to me at j.bryce.rogers@gmail.com. We can exchange additional contact details through email if need be.

Wrote this recently: https://communities.sas.com/docs/DOC-2462

Industrial size data linkage in SAS.

I'm pretty sure I can make it even faster in Lisp, but just finished doing the SAS version and haven't gotten round to it. Don't know if its HN type material, but its cool to be done.

A site for people to record their predictions, to say whether they agree or not with other people's predictions and later to see who was right. Let's see who can predict the best what will happen in the world! https://preddict.com

Great idea ! Plus, your site does have good success as far as I can see! Appart from jQuery & bootstrap, what other technologies have you used to develop this site ?

Btw, is there a point system to reward people who predicts it right?

I am tired of repeating this again and again, so I am doing some yak shaving and creating a hosted rest service for managing user accounts and authentication. I will use it as basic infrastructure for future projects.

Rather than a hosted/solution - I would be think a program language specific (node/php/java) solution would be more useful. For example - something like $199 for lifetime use for account/oauth/etc system that you can use on any project. Maybe even have additional "packages" like invite friend, etc. Just a thought.
