Is this option unique to Australia, or apply globally?

Some of the specific examples in the article seemed off to me too. However, I did love the book Scale by Geoffrey West who is one of the authors of the paper discussed in the article.

At the very least, the book is a great introduction to the many different aspects that scale up with city size.

Congratulations on the launch! I’ve hoped for a service like this to help with documentation related tasks, for simple things like delivering gifts and often timers to support friends and family in need.

One thing as a US immigrant I have to do pretty often is return to my home country for a visa renewal which includes various tasks including documentation collection, payments in home currency, transportation when I go back to the embassy, photocopies, printing etc. Supporting visa processes could be an good package to offer.

A few things I could not learn in my cursory look:

- How does pricing work? Given that being misuse of funds is one of the primary problems you’re solving I’d want to know how the payments process works, what is the platform cost, and how is misuse prevented.

- The top call to action on your website is “Post a request” which is great! The secondary action for me is “remember this website” for when I need it. Love the fact that I can install the app, but the ability to quickly add an email/WhatsApp number to my contacts is probably the best recall value for your service. Offering users a way to start a thread without needing to post a request would solve the same need.

Congratulations again! This is a great idea.

Wow! Looking forward for you to succeed. Filling out security and privacy questionnaires, especially when growing fast leads to so much wasted time.

More importantly, because of the rush the knowledge generated during the answering of questions is not captured in a reusable format.

I'm curious if could generate Security and Privacy white papers for companies that need to arm their sales/marketing teams using the information collected while fill out incoming questionnaires.

Thanks! This is the only piece of information I needed before giving Beeper a chance. I could not find it on the Beeper home page as a callout or in the FAQs, and it would probably be good to add.

Ideally I would not want to run the whole stack if I understand how the E2E encryption is managed.

Thank you for this summary.

A slightly tangential question I'd love to get more perspective on is the impact of the virus being "man made" on our current predicament. Even assuming that the virus was not naturally evolved, and its characteristics are partly caused due to human interventions we're still stuck finding a vaccine, medication and ways of reducing transmission.

Is there still a thread here that this virus is evidence that humans can possibly create chimeric viruses? In my limited understanding, using protein sequences to modify viruses is generally believed to be possible.
