I've been following Maneesh for years. I met him while he was travelling around in the Himalayas. Crazy guy - making piles of money while spending most of his time DJing and travelling.

Matthias. This is pretty badass. How do you envision implementation? Props on the build.

Shit! There are so many sites out there using this API. And many are totally dependent on it - location is the cornerstone of their model. Zaarly, Foodspotting, AirBnb, GetAround - every location-based P2P platform.

I guess this was inevitable. But maybe we can switch to a different maps API? Google is so smooth though.

Really? Smart move on their part. There's so many talented engineers in the developing world that are 'hungry for it' - Just what startup founders are looking for in a partner.

These people are out to implement their vision - wealth is byproduct of passion.

I second that. Please share your secret. 28k people lined up for your product, and they have no idea what it is. Spill the beans bro.

The deals space has long passed its climax. If you're going to be starting yet ANOTHER daily deals site, there needs to be some other unique angle used. Creating another mini-Groupon clone isn't going to cut it anymore.

Agreed. File sharing is the type of thing where you can't just rely on first-mover-advantage. Google has the ability and infrastructure to offer more space for free on more devices and platforms.

I agree. The term 'large economy,' when applied to the average person is an irrelevant term. For the average billionaire it means something, but to the average person (in our case, the average internet/mobile user) it means nothing. These old economic indicators do not measure the actual economic conditions in localities. Local economies have to be robust - that's the true sign of a progress.

In one generation the whole model of higher education will have to break down - this is absurd. I think we'll go back to more of a localized apprenticeship model, facilitated by technology.

If you ask me #6 is the only one you need

I highly agree that the conventional 'job' is becoming obsolete. Technology is enabling us to live in a bottom-up world where we can add value individually. We don't have to to work for a company to add value. Imagine all the commerce that could be happening in a 5 mile radius from where you live - all the needs you could address to add value. And when you add value, you are rewarded financially. There is no recession.
