I don't think you're at a very high risk of HIV infection, Fappin_Alone_Guy.

The original Craigslist post:

Ok so I'm looking for guys who fucked lots of guys with AIDS, but don't actually have it. If you want you can drive down here and I'll draw your blood and inject you with some fake virus. We can drink some beers while we're doing this and then later you can dress up in a fireman uniform with the oxygen mask and everything and I'll JO while you tell me the story of the 9/11 first responders. You can jack off too, but no touching each other I'm not gay. Also I've got a lot of fake crab meat and you can take as much as you want when you leave. Nothng wrong with it I just have too much. You might want to steer clear of HIV tests too for the foreseeable future because you will test positive, but you won't really be infected, honest!

So you work about 20 hours per week?

That's good, but Google is still required to comply with the law of the countries it operates in. A lot of people are not so much concerned that Google itself is going to misuse their information, but that present or future governments will compel Google to hand it over.

If you have a job right now, you can learn to open your eyes. There are so many inefficiencies and pain points in businesses. I can think of ten off the top of my head for the place I am currently working. Any one of these problems has the seed of a product or service in it.

Examples:

I work in a tech consultancy. Sometimes clients want a person with a particular obscure skill to do some work on a system they already have in place. Because there is no adequate system to track who has what skill (particularly if the skill is obscure and not related to the consultancy's core competencies), there could be someone there who has the skill, but nobody knows about it and they can't be rolled out to help on the project. People have tried to build skill tracking systems, but the problem is they always end up full of outdated information. A system that tracks skills and solves the outdated data problem would be invaluable.

We end up having lots of duplicated meetings where all or part of the information that is communicated has been heard before. This is a massive time sink that arises because it is impossible for any one person to track what has been said in every meeting, so we end up going over the same thing again and again. I don't really know how this would be solved, but perhaps a meeting booking system that required the organizer to submit an agenda and then flagged potential duplicates would go some way towards alleviating the problem.

I'm sure you can think of examples from your work too.
