And for those rare places that only do cash, it's not uncommon for the person in line to turn around and ask a stranger for cash and they'll pay that person in a WeChat transfer. Done in seconds. Happened to me and observed it myself a couple of times.

With digital wallets, there's zero need for credit cards and their predatory interest rates.

China is just absolutely crushing it. The Amazon Self Serve store that's still in testing in USA? Tao Bao pushed their version and it went live last week.

Or wallet stolen (arguing for the other side).

Same here. Introduced to ICQ while playing UO. Used it to ping each other when there was a rare spawn/scrolls up.

Good times.

What are some of your competitors? Haven't come across any other sites like yours!

“Because the Oculus headset works on Steam games, but the Vive doesn't out of the box work with Oculus Home. You can make it work, but it's not quite official. The Rift is also a little bit more comfortable and people seem to the think the display is generally better."

What? Why would you want Vive to make it work with Oculus Home? Isn't that like saying you want your Android phone to visit Apple's App Store?

Vive works with Steam and I think that's more than adequate. And Vive works with Steam games too, so not sure why you said your first sentence.

I really enjoyed using my Withing as my daily weighing tool.

However, Nokia is not a brand that I associate with statements like "creating beautifully designed products" or general consumer products period. I wasn't aware they're tapping back into the general consumer market after selling off its mobile division? (Though I did hear something about making a come back in making phones for Nokia)

Still waiting for new the dashboard…almost a year now :( And how I wish Stripe allows non automatic deposit, keeps the money in the currency it was paid in and peer to peer transfers! One can hope…

Shouldn't that be the other way around? If it doesn't work out, charge the 2 weeks, if it does, you get a job?

"If I need beautiful or creative content for my art gallery, graphic designers are invited."

No, you don't - you'd need artists, not designers.

Learning to identify and distinguish between the two will allow you to avoid the wrong (but common) generalization you just wrote.

The problem is the price. When they first launched, the price was starting at $120,000 NTD. You can get a cheaper, gas scooter for say $30,000 NTD. In China, you can get an electric scooter for around $40,000 NTD.

Once the electric market catches on here in Taiwan, the flood of cheaper eletric scooters from China will be Gogoro's biggest challenge.

Gogoro has recently (3 months after launch) reduced their prices and introduced more models - with the light model (no battery plan included) starting at $88,000. And even with cuts from government programs (up to 3, depending on your location in Taiwan), it can be reduced down to $62,000.

I haven't seen a single Gogoro out wild on the streets since it launched in Taiwan 3 months ago.

I think a better strategy would've been getting people to buy into electric scooters first before pushing an 'Apple' E-Scooter with such a irrational price tag.

Right now I've replaced the banner spot with an Amazon link with a more relevant ad message.

That's some nice Adsense income! My site gets about 13k visitors daily and I can't even average $5 from Adsense :(

DrTwister and LumtheMad were 2 sites I followed closely back in the day. Wonder what they're doing now…

Do you have one you can recommend? :) If you do, mind emailing their contact info to me? jimmy at justjimmy dot ca
