remember no benefits also!!!!! gonna f*** all elderly people...

I for one would never want to live there, its just too many people huddled together in one building imo. You could make a lot of cheap social housing that way but that would probably make the densest ghetto in the world.

That is how people basically live anyways in the city except you cut out the traffic accidents. 40 stories 1/2 mile wide might be better but I don't like heights. Also at 10 stories you could bypass elevators. You could have basically wilderness inside the building and gardens and water parks outside or on the roof. Your job would be inside the building. Your low rent could be your tax. If you don't have a job you could donate time instead of tax.

But by designing this way you would put them in the best locations, Malibu near a harbor, Coronado island, Honolulu, Aspen next to the ski slope, Lake Tahoe. In those case I would move, as I could be out in the boat in 5 minutes. Then there are connections to light and high speed rail and airports. The building could even have an airport, or actually 20 miles away to avoid noise. Most apartments would not have a window.

Since I live in the northern Los Angeles I would love to move near attractions without the traffic. You don't have the co2 emissions. All the nuisances of city life removed, all the benefits expanded. A dense ghetto, or heaven on earth your choice.

Here you go. Even better since the whole city is designed to move from one great harbor to another all the way around the world once per year.

A once a year delivery of toilet paper, napkins, razors soap shampoo deodorant etc a whole list of non perishable products that you buy a year supply of for your family and save so much time not looking for that **** all year long - best yet it's cheaper than Costco. It's delivered to your door from the warehouse on a pallet. You have a long list and choose what you want and which brand. Min order is like $1000

460,000 people wanting to use the same road, train station or bus at around the same time though.

I actually asked a few people about it and quite some said they would only consider it if they would have windows with direct sunlight and they could live on the outside. The no windows seems like a no go tbh.

I lived in apartments like this before. They are built with an interior window on a balcony that gets sun light cause building has lines down the middle like a u.

Randomly trawling this thread... ftr, this happened.

That food waste minimizer is a cute idea but nobody is using that in real life imho besides ocd people and they will figure it out on their own anyways. Ideas like that are better focused on commercial efficiency not consumers.

You would not have windows in the apartment, but you could walk to the top and have a open area, or take a 1/4 mile walk on the escalator or light rail (in the building) to the beach or walk to the edge and have a starbucks coffee or lay on a lounge near a window. Or you could take a light rail for a few miles to the trout stream and pond, or take a free plane to Big Bear to a cabin. Maybe you would own a small orange grove in the valley where you can work on cars. It might be possibly to make plane travel to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, Big Bear, South Lake Tahoe, Palm Springs, Las Vegas, or San Diego free as part of your $500 a month rent in an electric aircraft. In Palm Springs there might be another one of these large buildings where you could stay for free as part of a time share type system. For $5000 a month rent you could get a apartment with a window.

Almost all people would not have cars, but you could have a 20 lane traffic free superslab near the building. You work shop, live, play in the building. By being in the interior also has advantages, virtually no maintenance over decades.

We should all feel bad for not thinking of this first. http://gizmodo.com/clever-chess-set-...-wh-1777136271

Thanks for the link, the chess set seems great. Great concept and good materials/aesthetics

I was looking online for some air filters and noticed they were cheaper at Home Depot compared to Amazon. However, if you order them from Home Depot they might take a week to get there and you have to sign up. You can also share signups and possibly have a means to pay with bitcoin option..

How about $100 brick and mortar club where you can get free 2nd day shipping from dozens of online retailers for certain items. Possible a light membership to hulu or netflix too.

Guys, did you ever have trouble with travelling - you knew you wanted to get off and go, but weren't sure where to?

The idea is to allow people to input their travel criteria, i.e. climate, activities, language, budget and much-much more and afterwards show them possible choices of their next journey and all the relevant information.

The service would be very visual and user intuitive, one that you can even use just to casually learn about your own country or any other part of the world.

So far I haven't seen anything similar, practically every travelling service operates on the assumption that I KNOW where I want to go. And in my personal experience that is often not the case, what about yours?

You might be interested in shoprunner.

I can get behind this idea.

Thank you I am, but I really like the idea of only having one account. Not sure if shoprunner does this, it also does not have account with large retailers. What I want is to say go onto a website I have never been before and add to cart then pay within 20 seconds with the "shoprunner" type account. Paypal kind-of does this. But some site want to re-enter all your personal info.

Idea #2.
It would nice to be able to buy a couch and have the delivery service remove up to three large items for free or lowest price possible. For example, if you buy a bed, they will take the old mattresses, a couch, and a old washing machine. Problem is if I buy a couch from living spaces they will not take the old one. The city should benefit too as they could send trucks out to the main place, there might be some salvage recycle value too.

Seems to me like there is a possibility for some kind of innovative marketplace for selling/buying shares in poker.

I'm a poker player (with no experience in MTT and therefore almost 0 skills in evaluating the value of a package), and if I wake up wanting to punt a little cash on some MTT staking, several problems immediately arise :

a. it's logistically difficult
b. it's hard to evaluate how trustworthy a player is
c. it's hard to evaluate the value of a package (i.e make sure you are not bleeding money by not knowing anything about makeup)
===> it's not fun, I don't do it

a. can be adressed by creating a space entirely dedicated to such transactions as opposed to a subforum

b. can be adressed by some combination of detailed profiles/user history/reputation system/manually vetted accounts etc.

As for point c., I thought of an amusing concept that could also potentially the site to fund itself.

A zero markup marketplace. I don't know how silly this sounds in the current state of affairs (as I said, I'm very unaware of this part of the poker world), but it seems to me that a 0MU philosophy has its beauty.
Ethically it's purer (for an outsider like me, I sometimes want to ask "if you can't afford to play your package without selling shares, aren't I the one doing you a favor and why am I the one paying you for that?").
It obviously gets rid of all the mess around finding the perfect markup.

What would the incentive be for a player who could sell the same package with MU to come to this new marketplace and offer some shares there? (apart from the sense of community, creating a traceable rep, networking etc.)

Well, we could have a system that rewards members who sell shares.
If I sell x$ worth of shares, I get x number of points that allow me to buy shares on another users package. (to be clear, no money is held by the site, we are just speaking of a virtual currency allowing members to agree on transactions off the site)
That way, I sell at no markup but I get to buy shares on good packages at no markup too.
If I want to buy shares from a package but don't have enough points to do so, I can acquire some from the site (say I want to buy enough points to be able to buy 1k worth of shares, I buy them from the site for 50 bucks, which means that I have in reality bought the shares at a reasonable 5% markup.
That way players who sell shares regularly are rewarded with buying possibilities, and members who want to buy shares without contributing have to pay a small fee that keeps the site going.

Thoughts?

You need to re-evaluate the way you think about MU. Let's say somebody offered you to stake you 100% of your buy-in, with your formula, you'd be guarenteed to lose time, everytime and also gain nothing.

Thats what a MU is for, it pays for the value of time and "skill" and trys to find a fair balance because the one stacking is giving zero time (not talking about the research, just the stake itself) and the one getting staked is just looking for a variance free way to balance their hourly.

Basicaly I think your model could maybe work but only unknown players would be willing to do 0 MU and only for temporary reasons until you get your name out there. No good known players would use it.

Are there any companies offering VR tours for off the plan apartments?

At the moment property developers and marketing agencies set up a showroom displaying one apartment. With VR they could set up a virtual environment where they could show different apartment layouts, views, finishes etc for every apartment in the development. This will potentially make it easier to sell off the plan as buyers will be able to experience what the finished product will look like and have a virtual walk through.

Has commercial real estate applications too when looking at office fitouts etc.

Sales Mints

A small, on the wall dispenser of mints that is kept in offices near the exit door. The office pays a set fee to keep the dispenser stocked, and is used for people who are going out on client visits to take a mint as they leave.

I think this is called a mint bowl, what you're talking about is a bowl full of mints... on a wall.

If you google that, you'll see it's being done by a ton of people. And the big software guys will make sure that interior design and 3d modelling moves to VR very smoothly.

I'm really not sure where the room will be in VR to make a buck. So many huge players are scaling into it so fast.
