New ‘farm-to-table’ medical marijuana app connects farm to ta-bowl. A software company recently launched a medicinal marijuana delivery smartphone app a few weeks ago in an effort to bring the pot farmers closer to dispensaries and dispensaries closer to patients.

Joshua Artman, founder and CEO of the Green Exchange, called its free app, Loud Cannabis, a distribution model to streamline the distribution of cannabis from farm to table. “It’s really learning how it was grown and where it was grown and the quality,” Artman said, calling the current statewide distribution system inefficient and sometimes dangerous. It is dangerous because sometimes marijuana farmers have to go to dispensaries across the state two to three times before they can get paid for their product, Artman said.

UK tech start-up What3Words has the answer: an app that fits inside a smartphone and is much more precise than a GPS. The idea is to give every single spot on the globe a unique and easy address to remember – words that translate to a specific set of coordinates. “With GPS coordinates it’s actually pretty common to mix up two of the numbers and the worst thing that could happen is maybe you’ve ordered pizza or something and the guy actually goes to the wrong place in your town, so you were close enough that you didn’t know that you were wrong,” explains What3Words CEO Chris Sheldrick.

“So our office is here at Index, Home, Raft (London) but if I typed in Index, Home, Rafts you’ll see it takes me to Western Australia where it’s pretty unlikely my pizza guy is going to go and try to deliver my pizza.” New app creates a searchable network of species worldwide.

Everybody Deserves Access to Mobile Banking. Mobile banking might be an integral part of your day to day life, but there are a lot of people in the US that the Miami based Waleteros would classify as ‘underbanked’.

Everybody Deserves Access to Mobile Banking

These are people who don’t use or have a bank account and could benefit from using their smartphone as a banking solution. According to Waleteros, Hispanics represent a disproportionate percentage of this group of underbanked US citizens. Traditionally, in order to meet their financial needs underbanked individuals will go to check cashing stores where they have to pay hefty fees to manage their finances.

Worse, when he makes half yearly visits to the hospital for a check-up, he cannot remember the details of his daily routine. Three years after he was diagnosed with the disease, he now uses a mobile phone app to remind him when to take the medication and to act as a diary of how his illness affects him. This attention to detail means that daily log is available before the short meetings he has with his consultant every six to nine months. The uMotif app on Bedford’s phone is now being used by about 1,000 patients with 10 different conditions in the UK, the United States and Australia. Why Your Next Package Will Be Delivered By An Uber. Geographic saturation is the key to network effects and profitability in the ridesharing business.

Why Your Next Package Will Be Delivered By An Uber

The more drivers Uber or Lyft have in a given region, the faster the pick-up times, the better the customer experience and the more rider demand — which in turn allows drivers to earn more money and attracts more drivers to the network. David Sacks best illustrated Uber’s positive feedback cycle last year: If Sacks is right, that the ridesharing provider with the most geographic saturation ends up with the lowest costs and best rider experience, then the strategy is clear: Raise as much money as possible to subsidize both supply and demand in what, to some observers, appears to be a winner-take-all market. But do Uber’s network effects really scale infinitely, or will they reach a point of decreasing marginal returns?
