The number of app ideas I have been pitched in an Uber.

When I was working in software I would tell them I worked for the government and couldn’t talk about it, to avoid saying I worked in software, to avoid being pitched app ideas.

I can imagine.

I work in the environmental field. I either get hare-brained conspiracy ramblings, or 'oh. Yeah. It's important we put things back the way we found them...'

I should really do an uno-reverso one time and just NOT shut up about advanced topics. Buckle up, bitch. The next 45 minutes are all going to be about soil physics

Somebody once pitched me an app idea and it was x-ray on your phone. So basically you take a picture of your arm or leg or whatever to see if it's broken.

All he needed to get this totally doable app idea off the ground was someone with the ability to get a camera to convert visible light into different part of the spectrum. If you guys can get on that I would appreciate it. I tried looking on the stack exchange but they weren't any help.

Can you imagine the actual horror of random people just spraying X-rays all over the place in public?

You just have to tune the light antennae to the higher frequency. Apple makes it hard to do, because they're preparing to sell their x-ray watch, but I'm pretty sure you can do it on Android with a screwdriver and a soldering iron.
