Public Data app wishlist


  1. plate@car.gov Make all car license plates have an email address. People could warn you before the tow truck, if you parked your car in a bad place. If you’re license is ABH-2342 then your email alias would be ABH-2342@car.gov.  And everyone would just know that.
  2. Public problem app.  I wish there was an app to report problems and crimes to relevant government agencies.  It would include some automatic reporting, e.g. your phone automatically reports a pothole when you hit one while driving.  The driver won’t need to pull over and manually report.  The smartphone would just know that a sudden jolt along a road means pothole and report it.  
  3. Kidnap app. Make a facial recognition app to that was connected to a database of known missing persons so if people saw something suspicious they could take a pic and check if the person was known missing.  
  4. My recent experience with the Overnight Service of USPS further drives the need for an app for tracking the interaction with a company or government agency.  We need something that makes it easy to capture all the emails, chat windows, phone calls sitting on hold, broken email links, broken or just bad web forms, tweets.   We need an app that makes it easy to also publish to a public site for accountability including the time it takes for a company/agency to resolve the issue.
    1. It will need:
      1. Datamasking features blackout email addresses,  HIPAA data, financial data specifics, phone numbers, ssns etc.  
      2. The public site will be have stats on different companies.  Awards for fastest resolver of issues. Rankings.

Yes I'm reading parenting articles quite pre-emptively. I liked this one

It seems like modern parenting is an exhausting pain in the ass.  Somehow the task has become more difficult not less even with technology to help us do everything.   By the way, why are there still not washing machines for babies.  How has this been overlooked.  There are enough engineering couples who have tied the knot and started a family.  There's no excuse for this to not exist yet. https://www.romper.com/p/i-tried-minimalist-parenting-for-a-week-it-was-a-total-game-changer-74237 Romper Home Flowcharts News Moms Unfiltered Pregnancy Sex & Relationships Baby Toddler Kid Health Entertainment Motherhood Food Fashion & Beauty Company About Contact Terms Privacy Courtesy of goodmoments/Fotolia I Tried Minimalist Parenting For A Week, & It Was A Total Game Changer By  Ambrosia Brody 4 days ago SHARE Being present at all times with my children is an elusive goal.

Rant: I hate Google Cloud but I don't want to.

I just wasted 3 hours trying to get Google Cloud SQL to work.  After digging through docs and support forums I couldn't set up IPv6 access to my sql instance. This isn't the first time I've wasted tremendous time getting such a basic access feature to work.  I went through a nearly  parallel issue with Google Compute Engine.  It took over a week to get the answers I needed to get a network access working for Google Compute Engine. I have a problem and I admit it. :  I know Google Cloud will eventually dominate.  I can't help myself from trying to use the inevitable technological leader in the cloud wars, but damn give me back all the money and months I wasted learning these platforms.  If I could just turn off my engineering supremacy OCD ... just get prototypes working on traditional boring crappy tech,  I'd have way more streams of income by now and hate my tech life far less. Speaking of money:  There's still no clearcut way to cap monthly spend on Goog
