This was exactly my take-away after reading through this list.

Industrial safety inspections done by robots and affordable, modern zero-energy homes are the kind of difficult real world problems that will make the world a better place when solved.

On the other hand, I don't know if glass-by-glass wine delivery or another college social network are solutions to real "problems" that needed to be solved.

Now of course, it's still early for a lot of these startups and I can be proven wrong. But the potential impact of a something like a smart oven with a companion subscription meal service seems really small compared to an idea like a marketplace for farmers in India to sell directly to institutional buyers


I wonder if an effective method would be to apply some sort of "shadowban" on the Twitter accounts instead of closing them.


wouldn't it be pretty obvious to them when they cannot see the shadow banned account from other accounts? I know people who do similar on reddit, keep a second/third/etc account around to periodically check their main if they should notice no replies or such.

How restricted can new accounts be made so that they have to pass a review without impacting new accounts to the point no one wants to use the service?


Very cool. Thanks for sharing :D


This is very cool! One thing I noticed though is "a pokemon master can only have 5 pokeballs (prisons for pokemon that you can carry around)". However, (at least in the video games) a pokemon master can actually carry with him a party of 6 pokemon.


and Google Maps


This is a very cool project. Turned out nice!


Nicely done! I've always wanted to build something like this, and have never gotten around to it. I can't imagine it would have ended up as good as this.


I agree! I'll look into adding this in eventually. Thanks for the feedback!


I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for giving it a try!


Thanks for the feedback. I have to plans to make the match ups closer (explained in my other comment to rollo_tommasi), but I like the idea of scaling the difficulty based on the score.
