Sorry, what's the revolutionizing about this? Not do disappoint you but my mother already has a cart with those 3 tiny wheels and she uses it to buy groceries every day. In fact she bought it at least 3 years ago.


Harpists have used carts with the same kinds of wheels for a long time.


I really like the Chinese approach to space exploration. They go slow but steady and focus on interesting stuff.


In terms of connectivity and living expenses three are more or less equal.

As an Uruguayan I would say that Montevideo is nice, but there is not much natural beauty around, the same for Buenos Aires, but Santiago is in the foot of the Andes, so in that it has more to see.

Also Montevideo is quieter than Buenos Aires but Santiago is much more well organized than both. And the only one that don't have a metro train system, so the public transport consists only on buses that get quite crowded on rush hours.


+1 for the Stormlight Archives I would add the rest of Brandon Sanderson Cosmere books:

Mistborn Trilogies Warbreaker Elantris etc.


We do scrum(sort of) and the last retro I had was last year... so, not only in "traditional" industries


Makes honor to its name :P


Public companies tend to focus on making money instead of innovation?

They become slaves of their quarter reports and lose the ability of investing in long term projects?

Maybe a bit exaggerated? :D


I think shareholder expectations determine what a company does. If the company is a growth company, shareholders will gladly allow the company to innovate, but if it's a blue chip, they will expect dividends.


Right, but there are important, large companies that are neither of these things. A privately-held company can act as a pseudo-nonprofit, if its management wants, investing in the benefit of humanity at the expense of both profit and growth. The possibility of shareholder lawsuits makes that much harder to do.


Hey, I checked you site, great work!

Only issue for me is that you only support stripe for payments and is not available in my country, Uruguay.

Why is that? Why not leave the payment chanel free? Or use paypal or something else?


I was in Colonia last weekend - Uruguay is great!

At this point, it's a question of time to build in additional systems. Stripe Connect let me (the solo engineer) build a marketplace quickly. However, it doesn't have great international support.

We are looking at other options, such as Payoneer. The main priority right now is on growing the client side of the market. However, after that, we will likely return to the contractor side to work on some projects such as expanding payment options.


Glad you like it :)

I understand, thanks for the answer


Yea, same here. That has been my only blocker — completing my registration

The issue here is that the internet consist basically in monopolies. Its even more alarming when you consider that many of those monopolies are in the hands of just one company. (Google)


This is true, at least in my country there is a high amount of C-sections and studies show that most of them are done for the money.
