  (19,122)   ◻ Dynamic bus routing:  For a bus service to be profitable it needs to have a certain number of customers or users of the bus. The bus also must service people where they need the bus. I propose an app where people can use the day before taking a bus journey and they can can say at what time they need to be somewhere before then a algorithm plots a bus route to pick up all those people.

  (19,122)   ◻ Money packages:  Ask a computer what you can get by putting in a money amount in and it shall tell you a package of goods and services that when combined offer something useful to you in return for that money.. so if you put enough cash for a home renovation it shall show you ideas for a house renovation and be fully costed. If you have certain electronics it shall recommend what electronics to buy based on what you have such as accessories. (+) [en]

  (19,127)   ◻ Failure due to not enough critical mass:  For some thing to be successful, it needs critical mass. If a company doesn't get enough customers, it shall shut down. Same with websites and blogs, if they don't get visitors the creators or author loses interest or loses money for long enough they stop. (+) [en]

  (19,128)   ◻ Stack pattern match:  Imagine you have a reference implementation of a btree and a reference implementation of a locking manager and a security manager and you want to tie them together. You could add code calls from one to the other but what if there is a better way? The better way for extensibility is to match stack function calldepths to code snippets that run whenever the pattern is matched. For example when a btree is split you might want to acquire locks or release locks in a certain order. We can do pattern matching around the callsite of a btree split and return values and do the right locking and security behaviours without needing to change the API of either. Essentially you have parallel multiple return values. (+) [en]

  (19,130)   ◻ Can A* be used to generate algorithm sourcecode?:  I thought of an idea to use a* algorithm to "walk" toward a solution that solves a programming problem. Each neighbour can be a weighted list of programming tasks such as if statement, for each, assignment, recursive call. How do you map example data structures transformations to code that fulfils the changes to the data structure? You need a cost function that decreases when the output gets nearer to the solution. What does the cost function for code solving a problem look similar to? (+) [en]

  (19,132)   ◻ Transitive Pull model - impedence of work and profit:  Every action of work should benefit the employer and by extension employees. How to algorithmically identify cost effective work tasks so everything a worker does pulls towards profit? I think this is an algorithmic problem. Effects of work can be represented as a graph of cause and effect. If you don't do administration or what causes your business to earn money, you go out of business. Work done is not priced unless you're a billable employee. Need some method valuing work and estimating compexity in terms of time used to calculate price (+) [en]

I only need to log or print out a special error code and the user can retry from where they left off! (+) [en]

  (19,195)   ◻ The irreversibility of commitment:  If you decide to do something, you need to exist with the fact you did it. You cannot get egg from a baked cake. In other words, when you get a job or start a business you are committed to it. I want to remove this feeling that I cannot relax due to commitments.. (+) [en]

  (19,197)   ◻ Guaranteed return:  From an investors perspective, if someone wants to do something and they think it shall create lots of money, I kind of want to give them money in return for a guaranteed return of whatever they earn. We need some form of economic obligation to return this return. The current mechanism is debt, but this doesn't really work in both parties' interests due to the punitive effects of debt (+) [en]
