I'm not that happy that the lock has to communicate with a central server. For one, that adds all sorts of dependencies (the internet, central service, etc. have to be up for the unlock command to work). For another, what if there is a security compromise of the central server?

I'd much rather have a system where the lock uses an NFC sensor and a CPU, and it works with phones that have NFC. Yes, you wouldn't be able to do remote revocation (you'd have to be standing in front of the lock to send an updated CRL), but it would be a lot more secure, and it avoids dependence on a central server.

I think saying, however sarcastically, that if it was that easy, everyone would be doing it is kinda pointless. The most important step is to get started in the first place.

Even if you don't make huge amounts of money (disclaimer: that's my blog post linked at the bottom of the answer), there's a huge gulf between those that spend their days thinking about possibilities, and those that get up and start their projects. If you're in the latter group, you stand a much greater chance :)
I'm pretty sure I obtained these documents legally, their webserver should have asked me for a password for the files but for some reason it did not (has since been fixed). They're under copyright though so I can't disseminate them.

Color me skeptical. We were through this before, with PowerPC.
Legal - yes, but for a lot of us not really justifiable. I'd rather flip burgers.
I think it is harder to go from zero to $1000/month than from $1000/month to 100,000$/month.

What is sad is that instead to create a spam engine, adsense powered, doing $1000/month is pretty straightforward.

It's still pointless. The current key-system is a low tech, simple system with few associated costs and no major pain points. It's also a system that is strongly in place already. The Lockitron is a complicated system with many moving parts that will break every now and then, and that has no clear target market, and it's more expensive than current systems.

If the makers get it to work, I'd be happy for them, but my estimation is that it's going to be dead in a couple of years.
Luckily, a tech company like Facebook lives and dies by its reputation with not just its users but also, among other groups, the developer community.

Look at how much posturing companies put into looking like 'cool' places to work, in order to attract top technical talent. At this point in time I think any prospective Facebook hire will be thinking long and hard about whether the technical challenges and money are worth selling his soul to what appears to be the douchiest internet company around.
In the longer run it seems likely to me that inexpensive subscription services are inevitable, and this will wind up being largely moot.
Several years ago I thought about building something in the adult market (never got to it). Your best bet is to go to the adult webmaster's board: http://gfy.com If you're looking for affiliate programs, if I recall correctly, they gave you tons of content for free.

That would be one of the cases of "not pre-installed on".
But that wouldn't be a web app. How about a web app? Anything else other than AppSumo?
Darn, misread.
Why must it be a web app? To me web apps are only useful for a specific sort of software, not for all types of software. People who want everything to be web apps are just mentally inflexible.

The app store for web apps is twitter and facebook.
The use I am familiar with: If you post a very long URL in an email and send it to a group, it often will not work for the receivers because it is broken up onto two lines. Lots of people aren't web-savvy enough copy and paste both pieces and for those who are that savvy it's a hug nuisance. So a URL shortener makes it much more likely that people will go read whatever you posted by removing those issues. I shared a URL shortening service with someone who routinely posted articles to a list we both belonged to and she was thrilled to pieces and has used it consistently ever since.

Because that was the original question asked, as well as the topic here. Stay on topic, stay on topic.
Valve consistently anger or frustrate their core fanbase (e.g. the hot-air boycott over Left 4 Dead 2, the almost decade-long whining about Counterstrike game mechanics, and of course the frustration over HL3 / HL2:ep3).

But the fans never seem to leave, and their zealousness and numbers only ever grow. Even with the historically poor SDK support and release cycle, there's still has a solid, active modding community even as the Source engine starts to look a little tired.

And at the same time they're pioneering digital game publishing and distribution, providing really interesting services to their competitors (Steamworks), pushing the frontiers of their core game niches, and are astoundingly profitable.

That's an amazing example to aspire to.
Isn't there way more deadly and virulent stuff locked up in labs all over the world, like ebola and anthrax and VX? And we don't know what medical discoveries smallpox might yield decades down the road. Let's not destroy anything.
The question is unnecessarily emotional and anthropomorphizes smallpox - smallpox hates that. The question is really "There is a threat contained in labs in the US and Russia. Should we eliminate it, or hold onto it for future research and as a backup for vaccinations in case of other, undeclared stocks?" This breaks down into a whole set of questions, I guess.

What is the probability of the virus escaping from the labs in Georgia and Siberia? What is the probability that there are undeclared stocks of the virus elsewhere? If the second is greater than the first, don't destroy the stocks because you may need them to recreate the vaccine. If the second is less than the first, by how much? And what is the consensus on risk appetite? How well can you ensure that the stocks really are destroyed if they are so ordered to be?

This should tell you the best answer based on safety.

The next set of questions relate to what can be learned from the current stocks. Is there an active research program? Is there a current list of things to learn, or are we just holding onto it 'in case'? Has there been a case that we were glad to have virus stocks that were previously held to be useless?

If there is no obvious gain from holding onto the stock for research and the most significant threat from the virus is accidental release, then destroy the stocks. Otherwise, hold onto them - you can't recreate the stocks from nothing yet and you can always destroy them later.

My gut tells me that we should hold onto them. I'm always loathe to throw opportunities away and that's really what these stocks represent.
OK I've done the first part, but I've been a bit stuck on the easier second part for a long time. :)
If it takes you one year to get that product to $1K/month, then you'll need 20 years... But you have to consider that in 20 years, some of your apps will die and also managing 20 apps and customers is a headache.
(longer instructions decoded into a RISC-like 'microops').

The thing is, in practice, this hasn't been true since 1985. Nobody actually uses the legacy instructions that are "decoded into RISC-like microops" except people writing 4K demos. In reality, ARM instructions are actually longer on average, and more complex on average. Nor is this a bad thing: it means that ARM IPC is more valuable than x86 IPC.

ARM's advantage is that their instructions are longer, more complex, and easier to decode: not that they're "simpler and more RISC-like". RISC, at least in its original sense, is as dead as a doornail.

Ebola's not that deadly, because it kills people too quickly and the transmission process is difficult. It's easily quarantined and therefore deadly to individuals, but not to populations. Smallpox is almost the opposite - 66% of victims survive, but it spreads very easily.

Anthrax is naturally-occurring, I think and also not that deadly in the scheme of things - it doesn't spread very easily from infected to non-infected without being weaponized.

Practically x86 processors since a few generations back have been internally running on a smaller RISC-like microcode core. The x86 layer is there mostly for the dreaded compatibility (and to prevent compilers from optimizing directly into any RISC code ;))
You can start by being specific. There's no generic answer here. You can't really try to understand "succeeding at businesses" in the abstract. You have to do things on a case-by-case basis. So if you ask about one of your _specific_ sites, people can help you.
As I've often said in the past: "Fear (of failure) is a great motivator"
Of course; we all have read about something terrible and wish in hindsight we'd done it [to someone]. What separates people are the ones that have the self control or maturity to have thought about it and NOT done it.

They actually say that they will hand over anything to the feds:

"New TOS:

Or brace styles in C-ish languages. I miss those. And then, tabs or spaces.
I think you need to be very careful with this approach. I tend to be very open and tend to wear everything on my sleeve. Some downsides:

People think I am a braggart and a charlatan. I think this is partly due to talking openly about whatever my latest thought/ambition is well before there is anything to show for it. As with anyone, not all my thoughts/ambitions pan out. So I sound like I talk a lot of sh*t and don't deliver. Even in cases where I do deliver, the delivery date may be well after people have grown bored with hearing me talk about it and so it isn't really counted as much.

Security issues: I have recently concluded that laying everything out "in real time" is a security issue in that it gives people too much detailed information about my life. I have concluded it would be better for me to put a little space, time-wise or in some other fashion, between topics on my sites and where I am right this moment.

It leaves you open to personal attacks. I think people are less civil when you are out there with everything. I really don't have an explanation. Just take it as personal observation from someone who has done plenty of "letting it all hang out".

Putting out "family business" creates a real danger that issues you could have resolved privately will become intractable and unresolvable. Letting people "save face" and "forget" is a big part of letting them move on. Putting it all out there so that 10,000 other people know and will continuously remind you can make it impossible to get past something that really shouldn't have been that big of a deal to begin with.

I haven't blogged in real time about stuff in part because I think it makes you less flexible: You told a jillion people you were going to do X so now even though X isn't really a good idea, you feel compelled to go ahead and do it. Since the thing I am tempted to blog about is getting myself well when folks say it cannot be done, my life is literally on the line here. I have concluded it is best to keep my "live"/ongoing problem solving process private and share my conclusions rather than the messy, on-going process.

In the natural world, things gestate in darkness. They do so for a reason. Putting a window in a woman's belly wouldn't benefit the fetus, though I imagine it would make for fascinating viewing. Be very careful you don't kill the baby in the process. I am disinclined to think this is wise. (Feel free to chalk that up to having been burned.)

Peace. And best of luck, whatever you end up doing.

Hello,

The following question was raised by me on Quora (http://qr.ae/EvSn) :

What are the background graphic/s considerations for expanding text fields in iPhone applications?

I have created background UI Assets for text fields but there is a good chance that the height might not be sufficient for lengthy text inputs even on wrapping them.

It would be great if anyone could point me in the right direction to pre-emptively resolve this problem and incorporate the solution in all further UI Endeavors :).

I look forward to your response.

context.io turns mailboxes into databases you can tap into. They are especially good with attachments. is there an API call to send or receive email with context.io? I am not sure.

from what I get, mailgun makes it easy to send/receive emails, so that email is a completely integrated feature of your web app, meaning users won't even have to check their email, the experience is all within the app. You can also do it the other way around with mailgun, which is interacting with the user in his email client, so he doesn't have to go in the app.

Okay. How would one get more quality traffic with this specific challenge: It's a health site where I talk about getting myself well when doctors claim it cannot be done. The rest of the world thinks it cannot be done either so it's a hard sell.

So far, I have been working on building an audience painfully slowly. Since I am also working on getting myself well, content does not go up as regularly as I would like. My feeling has been this is probably a good thing for now because the first thing I have to do is win over my audience and the world just does not believe this can be done. Maybe I am completely wrong (about needing to build the audience this way)? But without participating in email lists and hearing what other people are asking, I also don't really know what to talk about -- I don't just psychically know what is different about what I am doing compared to other people. So for me that relationship to the audience is important and there has been a huge barrier for a long time. It is gradually coming down. Maybe I do know exactly what I am doing and it just takes time. Or maybe I am an idiot and someone else would have no problem slapping some content onto the site and generating an income.

Thoughts?
Is Rejection Painful? Actually, It Is
Agreed. I actually met a guy a week ago that's working on monkey pox- the next big pox threat. He told me that it's a growing problem and more people are getting infected by it in Africa- larger than what would be explained by the fact that people have stopped vaccinating for small pox. It suggests that monkey pox is an "up and coming" virus. So there's active research on pox, and it's silly to simple throw it away.

The probability of the CDC's stock escaping is really very small, and let's face it, if we got rid of it once we could get rid of it again.
