It is improbably in my mind that we've reached an age where javascript is considered low level -- even tongue in cheek.

I wonder where this is on the path to the singularity?

Hey Alan :)

What's the minimum requirements of setting up a shell Delaware LLC? Surely citizenship wouldn't be one of them.
so is there a good book that shows how to write c++ code correctly, so that it's as "clean and safe as code written other modern languages"?

for example, it would probably avoid introducing pointers until very late, using standard containers for data structures, etc.

the approach would be more "here is a modern language using the right subset of c++" rather than "you can make clunky old c++ work by following these arcane rules to avoid weird exceptions" (ie it shows a complete, modern language, not a collection of work-arounds). and preferably it should be aimed at an experienced programmer, so it should be compact and not try teach me "how to program" in general.

Seeing as this article is from 2010, looks like Chargify now has "eWay" listed as a payment gateway. http://chargify.com/payment-gateways/

Being a European company, just looked at Chargify, and Quickpay is the gateway that looks like it supports all of EU. Going there, it looks like I need an acquirer for my gateway. So you're telling me that I need an acquirer to get the payments, a payment gateway for the credit cards, and Chargify to manage recurring billing?

Kill me now, please.
If anyone has an article on EU credit cards basics, please let me know.

There does seem to be an online course in principles of accounting

http://www.aleks.com/about_aleks/course_products?cmscache=de...

that looks reasonably inexpensive and thorough, but I don't know how well the online exercises will translate to planning a new accounting system for our business(es).
I didn't make any point about universities (not even implicitly). I just noted that Muslims in the west don't assimilate or even mix well with the larger society.

For instance, they don't drink, so you're not going to find them in bars (where a lot of socialization occurs). They don't marry much into other religions (even if some types of marriage are not prohibited, they're still frowned upon socially). You're not likely to see them date at all (though it depends on how devout they are).

Why do people who have no skill/training/in-depth knowledge in the subject they have ideas about, feel that they qualify for being entrepreneurs/start-up founders and deserve success?

I'm not saying that you have to have a totally profound knowledge of the subject of your idea, but you should be at least interested enough to make a huge personal effort to acquire a deep knowledge. Why? because you have no chance in hell of succeeding if you don't know what you are talking about.

Hands-off ideas people do not derserve success in my book: the idea is not the thing, the implementation is, and you don't get to lead if you can't take part in/understand the implementation.

If there is one lesson that business in "The Silicon Valley Era" should teach us - it's this lesson.

it could take a decade to commercialize the technology

So it's mostly useless because everything else will change in a decade.

What we need is the $2 Billion spent each week in the Afghanistan war instead poured into battery research.

We need exponentially more battery capacity at a fraction of the price.

Then let the government own the patents on the battery, open source it and standardize it.
A number of companies already allow use of non-RIM smart-phones for company email though. I know of at least one big-four consulting firm that issues iPhones instead of BBs, and an oil major that allows reading of company email on iPads. I'm sure they're not the only ones.
Comparison of natural language processing between Google/Yahoo/Bing

I think that "Accelerated C++ Programming by Example" [1] is a good introduction to modern C++. It focuses on the correct use of the standard template library which I think is at the heart of much of modern C++.

Needless to say, C++ is very complex and so the book doesn't cover a good part of it. But I think it is a fairly good start and is not too long either.

What is wrong with blog posts

Lately I've been reading a lot of blog posts assailing a technology as though proponents of that technology think all other tools are useless in all situations.

Replace "GWT" and "JS" in this article with "C++" and "Assembly," and all of the points still hold. But C++ is still incredibly useful for many developers, and so is GWT.

GWT largely exists because it has a reason to exist. One of its main reasons to exist is that browsers are not standards compliant, and sometimes the standards are ill-defined. A well-defined abstraction layer on top of that is very useful... right up until it's not. Sometimes you need to dig in to Assembly, and sometimes you need to dig in to JS. But quite often, higher-level abstractions get you all the way from start to finish.
And if the phone is compromised, how can you trust the "scan"?

A compromised phone scanning itself does not make a lot of sense. If the server scans the phone, it still can't be trusted since you're asking an insecure device: "are you compromised?".

Guess the point is just to know if there are any unwanted apps, that did not gain "root", on the phone. Is this useful?
> It's not "any computer you choose", but any desktop or laptop with hardware components that are supported. Did you know Windows Server 2008 doesn't have drivers for early Intel Gigabit Server NICs, so you can't run that OS on an unsupported computer? Just as you can't run Windows on "any computer you choose", only on ones with supported hardware, it's the same thing with OS X.

Nobody said that Windows was open source or could run on any computer. However, as I type in a Windows vm running on a computer assembled from commodity hardware, I can honestly say that are certainly a much larger number of choices, since neither of those are options with OS X.

The Hackintosh stuff is not really relevant either as a) it is not open source, and b) violates the EULA of OS X. I won't go so far as to say it's "illegal" but I don't see any overriding moral reason to violate Apple's wishes here.

I looked into setting up a Delaware parent holding for my Startup Chile startup as I wanted to use Stripe.

What good are standards bodies (think SAE, ISO, DIN) in the automotive world if they won't solve this? Also, what ever happened to driving down cost by partnering with other automakers on expensive assemblies? Having a proprietary battery is completely the opposite of what every automaker has been doing for the past 2 decades.

It's insane and is delaying the mass acceptance of electric cars.
I guess personal is the wrong word. It's just that what I said amounts to a criticism of elements in certain cultures, that's something people take personally.

We are, of course, the same. Nationality, ethnicity and the rest are made up. But.. so is money. Imaginary things still have an effect as long as people believe in them.
If it's 2kloc for dead code eliminated "Hello World", how much would be left of that to eliminate when you actually write a program that does something?

Because I'm assuming once your program starts doing more complex things it'll actually need the rest of those 170kloc and be able to eliminate a lot less, right?

While if you make a complex program that uses basic jQuery, jQuery stays the same size.
I apologize, I should have said something like "presumably to make".

One problem with battery swapping is making them accessible enough. I think current designs have the batteries under the floor of the midsection in order to keep the centre of gravity low, which makes them rather difficult to change without raising the car on ramp.

A second problem I can think of is that batteries fade over time, and people aren't going to want older batteries being swapped in for their flat but fresh units. Nor will "gas" stations, for that matter.

In the UK I'm starting to see more and more parking spaces with electric chargers so drivers can refuel while the car is stationary anyway.

I think the fast chargers would be useful for motorway service stations but elsewhere charging little and often (i.e at work, in car parks and at home) should be "good enough" for most uses.
VMware has been demoing what sounds like almost identical technology for a while now:

http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/IT-watch-blog/like...

It creates a virtual machine that's hardware encrypted on the device, and actually runs them as two separate phones. Similar full-on or pseudo-virtualized environments have been used on the iPhone, iPad, and other devices to various degrees of success over the years, but I think it is a slight hyperbole to say "this could change the way people use smartphones, entirely".
This is not going to be your century :-D

I think the question is asking something akin to "You have a box with width a, height b, and length c. What's the biggest shadow you can make?"

For example, if you think of the sun straight overhead, then the shadow will have area a*b. But if the sun moves over, then the shadow will grow by inclusion of some of the height of the box.

Indie Studio Afterfall sells pre-orders for 1$
Student Experiments Contest for Space Station
This reminds me of an interesting story from Not In My Neighborhood, a history of residential and institutional segregation in Baltimore. Baltimore in many ways had three-way segregation -- black, white, and Jewish -- with Realtors for all three communities refusing to show houses in the "wrong" neighborhood to anyone. However, the public school system only had two-way segregation -- black and white, with Jews attending white schools.

Johns Hopkins, then as now an elite institution located in Baltimore, encouraged local kids to apply, and was integrated long before the public schools were. Hopkins never had any kind of restriction on the number of black students, but they did have quotas on the number of Jews. That's because the black school system was bad enough (and blacks generally financially disadvantaged enough) that they knew they'd never have more than about 5 percent or so of their student body being black -- enough to show that they were liberal and enlightened, but not enough to change the character of the student body. But if they let in all the Jews who qualified, the school would be half Jewish, which would be unacceptable, as they'd get a reputation as a "Jewish" school.

This is also one of the reasons for the long-ago heyday of City College in New York: as a public college, they didn't discriminate, and so a lot of Jewish kids who would have otherwise qualified to go to the Ivy League ended up there.

This is an old article, and a poorly written one at that.

Strikingly though one of the criticisms that seemed most poignant to me is:

"GWT completely ignores the fact you are creating a website, NOT an application"... I think this shows a serious lack of forethought on the author's part to not see that many websites were turning into web applications, and many enterprise applications with desktop clients had also started to go down this route.

Thank you for the comment, really helpful.

1) Done
2) You're absolutely right, I'll change it asap.
3) You're right, it seems that the article author just discovered the IM niche and she really did! It's the first attempt of our newest member of the team to write about internet marketing and for her first article I am very very pleased! If you see on the footer of the article, it's not me.

As to why I have chosen to add it to Moneytized, my thought was that even if that subject has been analyzed thousands of times, when I am helping a friend grasp the concepts around internet marketing, it would help to point him at this page also, explaining what an about me page should have.

Thank you for the great feedback again!

[Jewish American here]

From my perspective (in my ultra-liberal enclave in the east), a large part of the criticism isn't that Israel's policies are objectively bad - one can hardly expect a country surrounded by its worst enemies to have a polite attitude toward said folk. The criticism is that we, in America (and until recently, throughout much of the west) are giving them disproportionate (military and otherwise) support. I'm not comfortable with giving aid - especially military aid - to a government with major human rights violations, and a generally trigger-happy military at odds with a free press and so on.

Again - the trigger-happiness is understandable, given their position - but until evidence is produced that withdrawal of military support would make the situation more violent, it's hard to justify that military support.
That comparison is a bit tricky to localize to specifically Jewish culture, versus the other ways Israelis on average differ from their neighbors. They are also more European, for example, in the sense of having a significant proportion of the population who in fairly recent history had lived in Europe for generations, and in many cases participated closely in European institutions (e.g. pre-WW2 German and Polish physics research). Especially the first post-'48 generation had much of its science/technology leadership driven by people who had been prominent scientists/technologists in Europe before the Nazis forced them out.
Mobile Startup Jana Unveils Strategy to "Give 2 Billion People a Raise"
I don't see how this statement addresses what I said.

I am referring to the fact that applications can be installed from Market (or otherwise), receive no explicit user-granted (or visible) permission, and yet have unfettered access to the largest chunk of native code in the system, which more often than not is a year behind the latest security updates.

No amount of userspace virtualisation can work around that.

mate, it's not all that bad. people's reactions here will have pretty close to zero impact on the long term success or otherwise of Dart; programming languages are still much of a meritocracy

that said, wading in and telling people the things they like smell like garbage isn't the most effective way of getting them onside. If you're going to do that, then what you're selling better darn well blow their socks off, and Dart isn't doing that.

personally, I really enjoy writing js (and I have a growing love for coffeescript as well) and I don't feel Dart offers anything I need yet. I'll wait and see what happens

I think samrat is looking to put ads in his app rather than advertise the app, so there is no cost - although influads are definitely not "cheap" for advertisers...

In any case, I would recommend influads as well. They are currently working with quite a few people with the same situation as you - people that have an app with moderate success and are looking to incorporate some non-intrusive, good-looking, and relevant advertisements.

IPhone 4S Case
A recent study showed that the modern human genome and the Neanderthal genome are something like 98% identical (I'm making that number up; it's in the paper I read; the exact figure is fairly close to that). The 2% of genes that differ include the genes in modern humans linked to empathy, facial recognition, social aptitude, etc. (We found out which traits these genes are linked to because they are present, but not expressed, in modern-day people with severe forms of autism).

If I can ferret out the paper, I'll post a link.

This is just another example of the "there is only one way to do things, my way" philosophy that taints so many discussions about software development.

Sure, GWT does not create the cleanest mark-up and javascript in the world but maybe that is not always your goal. You may just want to get a web app up and running quickly but are lacking the javascript expertise - cue GWT, which allows you to harness your java expertise to create a web app.

If you don't like to create web apps this way (I for one would much prefer to hand code javascript), then don't but also don't go around name-calling the technology "disgraceful" just because it does not serve your own specific purposes.
EVERYTHING is wrong with GWT - just dont use it.

Generally I believe the idea of writing code in one language to be converted into another is wrong. Languages are tools to do a job - pick the right one for the job or it will end in tears.
