Hi! What a great personal project! I was trying to scrape a page and use GPT to analyze it, and then send me an email IF there was a certain type of (fuzzily defined) content on the page. How would I add the conditional check/step on the email block? Thanks!

On the surface your thought might seem valid, but it is not.

The reason a community like WomenMake is valid and important while something like MenMake is not, is because women have and still do face systemic discrimination in society, and in the workplace (and especially tech workplaces). You referenced this yourself (Global Gender Gap Index) so I assume you’d agree with that.

So women have a much harder time breaking into and progressing in the tech community, either systemically or even more explicitly through direct discrimination or abuse. WomenMake provides a valuable place for women to help each other through these issues that are specific to them, support each other in general and try to improve this imbalance. Men do not face these issues (although of course race, ethnicity etc are also issues, so many men face discrimination, but not because they are men, for other reasons).

Once women face no structural societal discrimination in the workplace, then something like MenMake and WomenMake might be equally valid, but until then you are not correct to make this comparison. (And at current rates this won’t be true for a very very long time).

Any service that stores/indexes information linked to a domain could use this to increase the recognition factor for the customer when listing a set of domains.

A great example is 1Password, when you type in the url of an account, it fetches the favicon and displays it when listing your accounts, making is very easy to quickly scroll and recognize what you want.

Contact info summary is great. Something I'd love to have is exporting friends' birthdays into my calendar. That and contact info is really all I need from Facebook.

Yes they are - I've seen another version of that chart and it was annotated with those dips being holidays.

Those salaries are low and that's a problem, but a nice 2 bed place in SF 10 min from downtown is what - $5000-7000/mo? The rent relative to income seem similar/worse in SF?

This is a seriously great list of high-impact possibilities - I especially like the alternatives to university. Your thinking is clear and logical. +1

I totally agree with this. It creates amazing short-term opportunity for many, but possibly at large cost to society long-term.

I also find it interesting that the two examples you gave, Uber drivers and Amazon shelf stacking, are two that will certainly be fully automated in the next 5 - 10 years.

I watched my trash collection truck last week, it had just the driver, and a robotic arm that picked up each trash bin and emptied it. I was just thinking "and it's the driver next".
