Look at the wal-mart strategy if you want an example. While there's competition, prices are low (sometimes even running at a loss). Once the competition goes out of business and you have a local monopoly? Crank those prices, extract as much profit as you can from your now-captive market.

Do you have a few examples of Wal-mart changing a product's price from low to gouging?

I don't go to Wal-mart a whole lot, but do drop in for this and that and I don't think I've ever seen anything that was notably over-priced.
What's sad is that this is exactly what we think of when we see these. But considering the source, I'd bet these problems are solved already.

I do this all the time. I already have the answer, I just want to see how the prospect would do it.
You have to be specific as to what state you're referring to; should color changes and element position be tied to a URL?

OpenSource it or sell it on Flippa. I sold a previous failed startup code on Craigslist once, it had a website and all. Usually if its just code ppl are hesitant to buy it, put it up with a nice looking site and some pics of what it does and etc, and you should be able to find a buyer. A Friend of mine sold his online business he wasn't making any money in, on BizBen.

At least some of this can be done with MailChimp, right?
I've attempted to make my code as OO possible. This means I can actually reuse it later on other projects. Authentication, ORM, etc.

Everyone should release configurations at least. You can easily release those and those who say you can't either have really bad configuration or too lazy.
To the end result it looks the same though. In fact many of my non-techie friends click on adverts thinking they are the search results. Either the ads are too good or thhat they are very well placed.

The biggest deterrent is probably the criminal check fraud charge you would face. Most banks also have additional counter-measures in place to detect this type of fraud too, but you are right, it is a concern: http://www.americanbanker.com/btn/22_3/-374033-1.html
"They dominate just because they got there first"

An argument quite often used by those who can't compete on the same level.

Google is leading not because they were the first, but because they serve their customers well and continue to evolve. Go to the Google blogs and you will see great examples about how they spend lot of time trying to understand what users are meaning with their queries and refining the search to provide more relevant results.
Made me smile, thanks for sharing.
What do you use the XMPP over? google chat? Or other XMPP chat programs?
Well I thought so too.

The way I intended to use MailChimp for this scenario was:

1. All new users go in the Users list in mailchimp.

2. Under the Users list, I have multiple groups:

- Sent first message

- Liked a message

- Edited his profile

etc...

3. When a user does an action, I add him via the MailChimp API to the right group. (Can the same contact be in different groups?)

But then I stumbled upon this article: http://blog.mailchimp.com/autoresponder-triggers-in-mailchim...

"Some users have told us, “I don’t want to send autoresponders based on subscription to a list. I need to trigger them via the API to send to people already on my list.”

Our answer to that is NO."

I don't want my users to have to double opt-in again in MailChimp when they have already done it for my application.

Do I misunderstand how MailChimp works?

We have a local XMPP server set up on the network, and we all use various different clients, I personally use Adium, we have some developers using Empathy on Linux, and others using Pidgin on Windows.

Jenkins has an account on said XMPP server (our AD logins actually) and is thus able to send messages to the developers that are signed on. We also have a "conference room" set up on XMPP that every developer is logged in to most of the time, and Jenkins is available there to run commands, so you can for instance say !build android-client and it will start building the android client, test it in the emulator and report results to the chat room.
Agreed; I can't imagine CD without CI. However, CI without CD is pretty normal.

Your audience will happily pay for software. See http://www.bingocardcreator.com : over $100k sold to teachers. They even happily paid for your software: 10 paying users out of a hundred is a pretty nice conversion rate. Your problem is the denominator there. You need to scale it up to the point where the numerator becomes meaningful to you.

A related problem is, on watching your presentation, I don't think you solve a problem teachers actually have. No teacher gets up in the morning and goes "Dang, but for my crushing lack of simple data tools, I'd be ready for today."
You should hire the most skilled people you can, period. If you can get a brilliant developer or designer for 6 months, that's better than hiring some schlub just because he'll stick with you.

Perhaps more apropos, skill is more of an unwavering quality than loyalty. The way to make a great developer loyal is to give them interesting stuff to work on and have the right culture. If loyalty is your metric, it's more effective to worry about your office conditions than to try to pick the right candidates.

I'm a prime example. At 33 I've only had 5 jobs since I was 20, so I look incredibly loyal as an employee. But there's a reason I stayed at each of those jobs for so long. I would not suffer a pointy-haired boss for a single day.

Exactly what I was thinking, but this'd kill the convenience of GitHub anyway.
This is intended usage in svn, but it just feels so very very wrong in git. If I want to transfer a project to someone else, I want to be able to give them the whole history. Granted, I'm sure there's some relatively easy way to replay a subdirectories commits to a new repo (with all the sha1s changed obviously), but I would prefer to actually pay Github more money, or else just use some other hosting rather than do something like this.

Seems like you are offering the same data manipulation people currently do either with desktop software or custom coded server apps. Your value here is turning it into a web service and making it easier to use. There is a very strong case for doing just that.

What I would recommend is to connect the dots and clearly position your service as cloud alternative to desktop / server data manipulation packages. Get very explicit about it and target similar customers. Do not limit yourself to just data on the web and allow file uploads. Make a feature-light free version and charge for a premium one, determined by data volume or number of manipulations or something like that.

I think there is a lot of room for cloud-based statistical service to undercut traditional players in this market.

Can the microRNAs really enter into mammalian cells? I feel like there should be some mechanism for blocking outside RNAs from entering a cell. Unless there's no selection for a defense mechanism because it's not harmful? Someone fill me in here.
There are tons of data sets out there, most are in a great shape, and trivial to parse.

I guess maybe you need to provide some better examples of what your service will be. Now it all sounds like something I can do in Google Doc spreasheets or Yahoo pipes.

This. I've always wondered what's so difficult about pointers for some people, mainly because I used a similar mental model from the very beginning.

Quite a difference.

To add to your point - This feature is very much required not only for people living paycheck to paycheck but also for people holding multiple accounts. I've had many instances in which my BOFA account was overdrawn simply because I didn't know how much money was there when I swiped the debit card. Banks thrive on these overdraft fees. I even talked to the BOFA branch manager telling them not to honor a transaction if I don't have the required balance and they simply wouldn't agree to that.
Python IDE on Windows?
For a while I am using Komodo IDE/Edit as Python editor of choice. When a project grew, my wishes grew with it, and so - I'm looking for decent python IDE.

Eclipse, Netbeans (and other Java based ones) are just awefully slow even on my i7, and there are many minor, but annoying UI features, which are missing, are unimplemented, or look just wrong.

But then I tried Visual Studio 2010 (yes, Microsoft!) with IronPython and, most importantly, with Python Tools for VS.

I'm stunned. Is this normal, that the best IDE for Python is made by Microsoft? Killer feature for me is Intellisense - it just works much more intelligently than any (and I mean any) other product I've tried.

Also, if I understand correctly, VS 2010 Express ir free, and is just much better alternative to any free (and most of the paid ones) IDEs.

Am I missing something here, or this is just a fact? Or can you suggest an IDE, which does its job better, faster and smarter?

A huge issue for US citizens living abroad is that most US banks require a US home address (might be a patriot act thing).

Since all US citizens are required to file and pay taxes even if they don't live or make money in the US (only country in the world that still does this) sending a check to the IRS is not that simple without a US bank account.

Will you require US residency or will a US passport suffice?

The Diablo III Beta Is Now Live
A process of genes expression is when information from your genes translates to the proteins which are primary regulatory entities in cells. "Affects your genes" implies that somehow your genes are changed permanently. MicroRNAs affect the process of gene expression not the genes itself. What the authors found is that microRNAs from rice can appear in cells of mammals if they eat a lot of rice. But if they stop eating rice the effect of these microRNAs will be lost.
Now just compare the same with Apple. They don't have 1/10th the product line as Microsoft and are still more successful.

The Apple comparison is a red herring. Apple is unique, not only to the computer industry, but virtually all industries. No other company has risen so quickly, from so low, on a few products.

To put it another way, if you take Apple out of the equation, MS appears favorable to just about every other company in the industry. From SAP, to HP, to Google, to Facebook, to Twitter, to EA, to DropBox, to Oracle.

He says they have a “warped sense of value” and a “sense of entitlement”, and that teachers’ claimed love of tech is a “farce”. I don’t know if he “resents” them or not, but it’s a pretty insulting tone he takes. Teachers don’t hate spending money on school supplies because they’re somehow unique: everyone on a fixed salary hates spending their own money on stuff that is absolutely necessary to their jobs and should be provided by their employers, especially ones who feel underpaid and disrespected in general.

You can bet that if you forced (for example) salaried programmers to pay for their own chairs and their own company email accounts, or forced salaried graphic designers to pay for their companies’ font licenses and stock photos that there’d be plenty of grumbling and resentment about it.
