I would say reddit is a forum, and you can have good discourse on there, but can also have straight comfort internet trash. Basically I think its more nuanced than just having a forum...
Reddit is probably the closest thing to a forum. I guess having a separate domain in a website owned by people rather than one run by a big company allows for a more intimate environment.
#2. I've had an idea I've mulled around for a couple of years now about a new social network. One which limits your 'feed' to 25 friends and that is it. 25 might even be too high (or potentially too low; the number is arbitrary), but the general idea is that in your life there are only a handful of people who you should really care to keep tabs on. You can "friend" more than 25 people but you can only see the activit…
One which limits your 'feed' to 25 friends and that is it. An ex-Googler (that never played defense![1]) tried that with the social network Path. I think the limit was 50 friends though. It failed.

The nanobots binding to a single-child, definitely... and the audio dictation from real actors, probably. There's not too much of a stretch between the rest and reality. Is there?
I'd love a service that puts me in touch (for a fee) with an engineer/someone above level 1-2 support from Google/Amazon/huge corps When dealing with companies that are above a certain size, it takes days or weeks to get to someone that can fix issues, but if you're lucky and you have a friend that knows someone who works there he can expedite your ticket. This service would work like that, a friend that puts you in…

I worked briefly with a startup who's idea was to create an index of your entire corporate data (PDFs, powerpoints, docs, etc) and their product would intelligently serve up documents as you typed. So for example, if you would pen an email/slack talking about a slide deck from a recent meeting, in the widget the product would have already found the deck ready for you to drag and drop it into the message. It worked fr…
AWS just introduced Kendra to do the same thing. They will likely suffer the same concerns. Google had a search appliance that I thought was a brilliant idea but never got much traction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Search_Appliance
Purple Air hits on a bit of the neighborhood pollution sensor idea: https://www2.purpleair.com/ I've used their API to look at California wildfire data.
p.s. thanks for that site. Works well with BitBar:

There is a project in Germany which collects the data of stations you can build yourself with an esp8266 and a sensor. https://luftdaten.info/
Thanks for the link. Users outside of Germany already use it. I think I will participate. For some time I was thinking about an amateur network of air pollution sensors, that seems to be it. Is there something with more reach in Europe or at least Poland (where I'm at)?
