Ideas from Mark Stout

Remembering Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, who passed today. While I never met him, I did enjoy how he spent some of his money. This post from 2015.

Things I want in technology: I want Waze and Google Maps to figure out about the third day, that I'm ignoring their recommended route to work and instead have a preferred way.  Then, after that, route me that way with appropriate estimates of time. When those apps do route me another way, tell me verbally why? I want stores to have an API.  I should be able to query Safeway, Food Lion etc. for the price and instock status of an item.
