You can’t
You wouldn’t - the software would have to hook into a background check service. This can absolutely be done.
- Comment on Uber slashes fees in Bangladesh as drivers keep taking rides offline 11 months ago:
Profitable for who? The one hosting it foots the bill. If it was federated, all drivers could host their own instance like WordPress and a single app would connect to all instances and all drivers.
Agencies could start up to manage the tech for a negotiable fee if the drivers in the area didn’t want to bother with the tech.
Whether or not it could be profitable entirely depends on the hosting and delivery model. One guy could host the tech stack and charge maintenance fees and be in the green.

- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
He’s not wrong in this case, it’s doable. There are many startups building similar services with arguably fewer starting resources. You should run completely in the other direction, but it’s not impossible.

- Comment on What's stopping WebAssembly from effectively replacing JavaScript? 1 year ago:
The truth is that JS is currently “good enough” and all the best (adopted) web frameworks are either server or JS based.
I believe the chunking of script files is currently a bit more natural as well.
WebAssembly is the best choice for certain kinds of apps but most web apps are good enough with JS. If communities pour a lot of polish into WASM frameworks you may start to see wider adoption. Diversity is good, but it does need to be asked why WASM + DOM is objectively better than JS + DOM. It complicates the ecosystem a bit because you might fracture it for no good reason. Should there be Rust, Python, and JS DOM rendering frameworks? Is there a benefit?
If you have a more traditionally native app you want to port, that’s different. That’s a great fit for WASM. Personally I see it becoming more popular when it’s a good replacement for desktop technology and the DOM isn’t used at all (go straight to GPU).
