Bobby appeals to centre left & centre right. Far left and far right will be triggered with everything he says. Its interesting to see this underlying natural process of people detaching from the extremes and with them moving towards third party independent parties.

its true - i was thinking of bookmarks and my first thought was has Pablo built it ?

thank you Petri. Is this your client ?

yes. there's tabs on finance apps and micro apps. This is crowdsource updates - so if people feel there is more to add they can add it in. i'm sure there are better ways to do this and hoping someone picks it up. coracle has a link to apps that updates the latest micro apps as well.

This goal of mapping of clients, micro digital apps, finance apps this way is to generate more ideas and solutions - I'm sure this could also lead to many turnkey solution providers as well.

whoa! without looking i can list out

Coracle,

Primal,

Gossip,

More Speech,

Snort,

Iris,

Damus,

Amethyst,

Agora,

morning. I use web-based only and switch between Primal and Coracle mostly. Agora over the weekend - a bit more time to browse through topics. Other common ones - Satellite, Snort and Iris

We lost this sweet gal today. Ginger's my sister's dog. She's 13, we knew she was reaching her end life but still, nothing can prepare you from losing a dog. Ginger's the complete opposite of my boy Fido, she is twice his size but so well mannered, walks politely with her cute bum bum shaking left and right, eats well. Given her size, she makes a great pillow for a nap too. But when she wants her belly rubs, that paw smack is not one to mess with. She fell in love with my twin nephews the day they came home and has been their best friend for 11+ years. They are quite devastated. Grateful she came to our lives

its a very nice way of framing this idea. My first hw engineering job gave the opportunity to learn but my second one i was the only fixer with no support (low budget company) - covering 5 countries - tech support, application engineer, system integrator, trainer, lecturer and consultant - crazy crazy times but learnt a lot. This helped when I ventured on my own, having no idea what i am doing (probably still don't lol)

I noticed however that people at large, when looking at a problem - have a tough time separating between finding root causes to solve the problem, and blaming someone for it. Often times, they think they are that someone and become very defensive. Hence there is a need to establish that trust factor.

This was a nice book that i read recently on setting that environment for growth. Its def something I want to be better at.

i do. I loved reading you what you wrote and missed my weekend reads

There are so many cost factors involved when it comes to product shipment. For a product's landed cost - it includes the cost of goods sold (cogs), operating expense (opex), shipment cost (packaging, loading, export duty, export tax, custom fees, terminal charges, and freight charges (air/sea).

When it reaches the import port destination, it will also include custom cost - this is often determine if the buyer or seller will bear the cost (incoterms such as FOB, DDP) - but either way, the end product cost will increase.

VAT in Europe averages at 21%. With Brexit, cost of products in UK shoots up with the lack of Europe trade privileges. Commodity imports from China in the US has import Tariff of 11% - 13%. This amount goes to the gov't and the users bear the cost. The underlying reason is to deter import, but at the same time, not enough facility provided for local manufacturing growth.

On top of that there is ancillary cost — which is your payment processing fees (bank charges/cc charges), foreign currency exchange fees.

If its a direct to customer orders (D2C), the price may seem lower, but often times customer still bears the import duty and tax charges. Sometimes, it can cost more than the product itself. Unless if its luxury goods, then this price will be absorbed into the retail price. If users ship parcels, then its often a lump sum price and breakdown is not always visible,

After going through all this, there is also a 5% - 10% chance the product can get lost so there's delivery insurance cost.

There are cost effective ways such as bridging consolidated couriers that tags with the country's postal service - it increases shipment time but reduces cost - but product tracking is not always end to end.

Then there's the whole spicy story on who governs the port. Logistics is an interesting world.

* on the gov't imposed taxation part :

- import duty - for specific products

- import tariff - at specific times

- import tax - goods and service tax (GST), sales tax, value added tax (VAT)

variation amt from 0% - 40%

today is one of those days - prepared for a Thursday, winging it for a Wednesday, and grateful for another day in the week.

You know what goats are good at ? crazy hiking. just saying =)

mass producing at scale is no easy feat
