• Show HN: PostalAgent – Send Postcards online by circling areas on a Google Map

  This is an interesting idea, but the advertising is a little misleading. Your pricing page claims that "A USPS Postcard Stamp is now 56 cents!", but nobody who's mass-mailing direct marketing materials is paying retail for a postcard stamp per mailpiece. They'd use Every Door Direct Mail [1], which is 22 cents per postcard/envelope and doesn't require individual addressing or individual stamps. Printing adds a bit... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Senator Warren proposes sweeping ban on location and health data sales

  I don't know if this constitutes others' definition of 'selling data', but the USPS allows you to run direct mail campaigns on routes and neighborhoods. The USPS provides moderately granular, aggregate data about the route/area, which you can then target. Some of the data includes household income, household size, and age brackets.

• How do I get a better sense of direction.

  You might also consider keeping your own notes after you clock out if you want to be really "extra." Go look at the case and write down the park points and save them in your phone for the next time you have to do that route again. It also helped me to look ahead and see what streets are going to to be on a route. Go to google and type in "EDDM Route finder." Type in the zipcode of where you'll be working. In the...
