Searching seems to be off at Upwork, for example, I'm look for someone add faceID support to a RN app and the results aren't too helpful. Looking at searches like "react native faceID" on upwork you would hope the top of the list would be the most relevant profiles containing all three terms or simply a search of "faceID" would return profiles containing this or biometric or react-native-touch-id, but searching the profile contents of the top five search results for this for me yield none of them having the search term. Testing google index against upwork is more effective for me 'site:upwork.com faceID'

I really think sandboxing built-in emulator for android apps has to occur for the phone to get traction. I think i'm their ideal consumer and still can't see the value yet. I'm a technical person who is willing to deal with some issues/trade-offs for privacy, but still can't reach the tipping point to purchase.

I also think this a place where duckduckgo could partner with with their services. I think most consumers wants things to be polished and just work.

My average is 26% of the time is workout time and 74% is rest and reconfigure equipment.

Wish I could get my phone updated without rooting it. My friend's iPhone 4 (released June 2010) is now patched up to worked with group messages fine, but my EVO 3D (released June 2011) that's a year younger won't get any updates.

I'd really prefer for a different unlock method all together. I'd like my phone to be locked in case its lost/stolen, but I'd like it unlock faster. It's be fine wearing a Bluetooth-enabled accessory (ring,tie pin, device secured to the shoes/belt/pants/wallet in some fashion) that would bypass the lock because I'm with-in a given radius to the device.

As a Previous Ticketmaster employee I believe the one thing that help prevent competition in this space is that they work with venues and performers. They subsidize Opex cost for the venues, which I think keeps them happy. For the life of me I can't explain why Ticketmaster would go and "merge" with a competitor who had driven themselves (liveNation) to the verge of bankruptcy (publicly stated within 30 days) just to take some venue market share and select artist. LiveNation now runs this combined company - it was less of a merge and more of a bankrupt company convincing a profitably company that they should "merge". IMO this has everything to do with piss poor management at Ticketmaster and the real value of select venues/artists.
