#4554 Entrepinc

We hire you.
You pick a business plan to develop
You make it happen
You benefit from growth as well as us
You have options later of buying us out or something else.
Kind of a business incubator idea, but we pay you.
You get job security and get to be your own boss.
We own partial rights to your start-up with the ability to negotiate purchase down the road.
We put up capital and know-how of senior entrepreneurs on your team.
After one of your ideas takes off, you become the senior entrepreneur to help someone else succeed.

This idea keeps coming back to me. The ultimate goal would be to hire and make financially comfortable as many people as possible (including me).

This idea is also scalable. Scalable like a fractal. Since support is local to the project, once rolling there's no reason it can't roll very quickly. The scope of supported projects is that it has to "make life better for people". It is designed to be socially responsible from the outset and success is measured both in dollars made and benefit to people. It is not a non-profit because that would be sticky and more importantly because we want to pay taxes. Taxes also benefit the social. And if our taxes aren't being used properly, then we fund projects to try and fix that.

SandBox already has used a big portion of this idea. Surely my check is on it's way...

#7844 Electronic voting

Electronic voting. Yea, even internet voting. Really shouldn't be impossible. Tom Scott says this is a terrible idea, but I don't think it's so unsolvable. The ways to cheat are: - stuffing the ballot box with bogus votes - counting or recording the votes bogusly - voting more than once or voting for someone else Voter confidentiality must be preserved.  Here's my solution.  - every voter must authenticate with some non-government system that 1) ensures user ID uniqueness 2) contains a method for contacting the voter (can be a form obscuring contact details) 3) creates a random code which is not retained by the system. This is easily done by Google, Facebook, or any tiny NGO. They would need to register and be subject to audit. - when a user votes, the data is logged in two public registers. 1) a voters register showing the person's user ID (or a unique variant from the authenticator) 2) a vote register showing the random code and how they voted

#7483 Broadcast Café

This café is wired. There are cameras and microphones everywhere. What goes on inside is constantly broadcast in real-time on the café's website. There is a bold disclaimer on the front door telling everyone who enters that their conversation and image will be viewable by anyone accessing the site. It is open from 6am to 2am the next morning to maximize global viewing time, without becoming too seedy. It is located in New York or LA or maybe both. Another option: At the same time, monitors in the cafe show analytics in real time of how many people are on the website and where they are located. Maybe it even shows how many people are watching each camera and listening to each microphone. Perhaps people on-line could post chats and be active participants as well. Would no one want to go to a café where their privacy is completely nil? Would no one want to sit at their computer and watch people living instead of doing it themselves? Or do people have an inner desire to be seen, especi

# Disinfectant coffee mug wipes

What do you do when you've finished your coffee in your personal cup which remains at your desk with a residue of drying coffee in the bottom? If you have a kitchenette in the break room there might be soap and a sponge for washing. If not, do you rinse it in the bathroom sink? Do you pour water into it, slosh it around and then dump it in a plant? Do you take it home and wash it? Or do you, eh, just pour some more java in the next morning crossing your fingers that nothing anthraxy got in there overnight? I propose a handy packet of coffee mug wipes. They clean and disinfect as well as with dish soap and water and don't leave any residual nasty taste.
