I sometimes fantasize about setting up a website or a kickstarter that lets people send balloons with the $9 chip, GPS, and tiny fans that will guide it any point in the map. The problem with weather balloons that are being sent from South Korea is that 1) Korean government are too much of a pussy to aggravate North (given their lack of response after naval ship attack and island shelling) so they attack activists 2) The weather balloons mostly end up in unreachable places, no way of knowing if it was successful.
It would be like a website or a kickstarter where people could pay to send packages that include communication equipment, non perishable food items, medkits, insurgency, guerilla warfare, etc.
Imagine the impact this would have on North Korea when suddenly the citizens are communicating anonymously with each other and outside world.
This can only be done if the balloons could self guide themselves using GPS with a high degree of accuracy, and they be launched outside of South Korea. Maybe it can be done from America but the pacific ocean is turbulent and it will be tough to make it all the way in to North Korea. Japan is the best bet but South Korea will probably pressure them. So this leaves out launching it directly from the States, the challenge and costs go up dramatically since the journey must be made across pacific ocean.
Hey! Can you describe your project in greater detail or link me to a spec? I’ll be in touch soon. We’re running behind due to the Techcrunch launch :)

this is my theory that the current economic model we have of dot com stocks is very much flawed, grossly overvaluing future potential revenues vs. current revenues. This argument never makes sense to me, unless you are investing in infrastructures like oil rigs or telecom grids that have a very sure and quantifiable return on investment, this is a mystery with a lot of dot com companies, especially for those that fail to demonstrate ability to earn.
I think a market correction is long overdue, I believe that after this year, capitals will be tougher to come across, companies that didn't really innovate but instead captured markets by burning cash won't be able to sustain this level come rainy season when capital market dries up for these firms.
Well, if everybody started doing it, won't the returns fall to zero? Sort of like if arbitrage opportunities are present (in this case its a technological one), this would go away.
I bet since writing this article the opportunities has pretty much slipped. Now anyone living close to the exchanges will do this.
I want to start a code marketplace using Stripe connect. someone posts a job, people bid on it, someone pays the person doing the job, I take the payment and release it when the work is confirmed to be done.
Is there an existing script that I can use and integrate stripe connect with?
