#7493 Hackability score

Your a business. You want to know how secure your stuff is. So you pony up 1000 dollars, make a duplicate of whatever you want to test and throw it into the hacker's arena. (Oh and you have to sign something that says you won't press charges for what people try to do to access your stuff.)

In the hacker's arena, people sign up as in that one web site with the predictability thing individually or in teams. Once it's open season on a new one, any team who wants to goes at it until they find the code you've nested behind your stuff. Once the code is entered, that team gets the 1000 dollars and you get a certified hackability score, which is the time it took to hack. Then you can brag about it.

#9785 Forest garden scheme

Forest garden, agroforestry, intercropping, companion planting, forest farming, permaculture, edible forest gardens, silvopasture (I'm sure this list goes on and on) are all ways of using your farmland for more than one product. I like this idea for a few reasons. It creates more diverse products which should reduce the amount of travel for each one. It's more humane to animals than being raised in a small space. It apparently creates more stuff then each product alone (synergistic). There's apparently 10 times as much sun coming down at midday as any plant needs. But it requires a lot of skill and basically in this era of specialization, you gotta know everything there is to know about corn/cows/whatever to complete.  So here's my scheme. It's a little bit like a shopping mall. I buy a bunch of land. I put a fence around most of it. I then make lots on the edges. I lease the edge lots to different farmers with know-how. The farmers come plant, main...

#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...

#8734 Head altimeter for good posture

This idea has a sensitive altimeter attached to a pair of glasses, maybe with Bluetooth that can sense when your head is as high as it possibly can be and when it begins to dip. When it does, your phone alerts you and you adjust your posture. It uses smart algorithms to know when you're going up stairs or getting in a car or whatever.
