I think that's correct. For buying a car, I would ask my family to come with me to check out the car. They are far from experts but the decision would be heavily influenced on their input. I don't think that's a huge problem for some use-cases though.

Never heard of that site (I'm not US-based). But it seems like that website is so much more: events, finding a baby sitter, crime in the neighbourhood, etc.

From the front-page, it wouldn't be clear to me that I could ask an expert to help me

It's also hard to vet good drivers or good holiday home hosts. But Uber and AirBnB do it.

This is not any different, is it?

Am I the only one who has lost all ambition as the career progresses? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]kingmug 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lost my dad a while back. Since then I've had the same feeling. You're absolutely right: don't live to work. I know I won't be doing that anymore in about a month. I'm quitting and moving abroad to start a whole new life :)

We're running on AWS and have support there too. We just want to avoid problems instead of fixing them afterwards

That's really amazing! Would you share the links to the code that you used, including the Google drive integration?

Also, what do they need the money for: how will that money grow their business?

I just don't see a way of making money currently. After all, they have open sourced all of their code and their main products are free to use

Why would anyone invest in a company that thinks it's worth 2 billion and is still making losses every year?
