Thanks for the reply! (as well as your other one, which I've responded to in the wrong order, ha)

I think my other reply regarding outsourcing vs doing it myself frames what you have said here perfectly.

Ultimately, I do not at all think I can learn to code in a few months or a year or even 2 (well, be as proficient as I want to be and should be anyway). I know for that a fact, just based upon myself researching and learning about all the different languages, frameworks, terminology, and so on. Even that tiny amount shows the immensity of what there is out there. To be proficient, it takes YEARS. I don't underestimate it all.

As a result, I do ultimately believe I have 2 choices: outsource or do it myself. I'm honestly leaning towards outsourcing at this point since if I need a technology guy regardless than why not get an MVP put together sooner (and better) by outsourcing?

I guess it plays off what you've quoted: "invest in what you know" and I don't know coding, so perhaps I should hire what I can afford and ultimately look for someone to join forces with myself once I've created an MVP and traction and have something to really show for myself.

I might not have the technical know-how to bring to the table, but I believe I have other valuable qualities and a great idea and vision.

Thanks for wishing me luck and I appreciate the advice.

Thank you for all the posts from everyone thus far! I really needed to have the conversation, get opinions, etc. It is so helpful.
Government-bias may well be more common than not, or than commercial advertiser-biased. The difference between those countries and the US is consumer education. At least outside of the US the viewers / listeners / readers know they're not getting an unbiased perspective.
His point is simply sometimes the issue is strategy and some times it's execution. If you make a great MMO that people love but it's crashing all the time then fix the bugs and you just might end up making money hand over fist. If you make a solid but older MMO that people enjoy but the subscriber numbers are incontinuous decline then you might want to pivot into free to play etc.

There are a couple of different categories of high heels
Most ladies agree that there are a couple different categories of high heels, and in order to make sure all your bases are covered, you're going to want to know which ones you need, and which ones you don't. The major types of high heels are the wedge, the pump and the stiletto.
This could only last so long.
Eventually, you would realize you become smarter and have much more knowledge as you age. Also, other things will eventually kick in. So now is probably a good time to learn as much as you can, by giving yourself as much break as you require.

Once you hit 2-3 burnout phases, you will realize what you've known all along.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Turns out a lot of time when your work is your life, you are not allowing yourself time to look your work at a higher, simpler level of abstraction, and you end repeating a lot of mistakes at different levels.

Once you start taking some time off from work, you come back so refreshed and with a much better perspective too.

In long run, I think this is why slowly after your twenties, your work is not your life anymore, since you would have learned so much by then, and be smarter about everything in life.

Plus family and friends do take some more time than now.

It's all about finding the best balance that works for you, where balance does not necessarily mean equal distribution of time.

I really think this is why there is no one single formula for success and happiness, you have to find what combination of external environmental factors and internal thought process works best for you, and also it changes a lot with time.
Yes, jumping right to WWII might be a bit hyperbolic, and the grammar here is a bit shaky, but I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. 'Everybody's doing it' is never an acceptable excuse for bad behavior.
So it only works moving very small amounts of money, toy currency. We're back where we started. I understand very well how it works, I don't even know what your point is anymore. It works for moving tiny amounts of money, I am not disagreeing with this statement, it's just silly in my mind and it's not solving anything new nor is it scalable in its current form, in fact it has some very obvious weaknesses which make it a terrible idea for any real amount of money. Then again, I think bitcoins are a joke to begin with, it's programmers reinventing currency and realizing that hundreds of years of finance actually did solve some of the big problems.

Is there a way to help venture funds find the startups that are actually happening here in Australia

I don't think finding them is a problem. I think that venture funds in Australia (generally speaking) don't have the skills to evaluate software/internet startups and there isn't a track record of Australian startups providing large enough financial returns for venture funds to be interested.

My view is that Australian venture funds aren't an interesting source of capital - they can't add value beyond investing money at best. Angel funding is where the action is in Australia, and there are some interesting groups doing good work in that area (StartMate, PushStart, Pollenizer, Innovyz(maybe?)).
I noticed that as well. Just glancing through the code it looks like they're going to have to add rudimentary configuration management before that can happen. Right now every piece of pertinent information about how and where to connect is stored in environment variables.

You can't really have CI monitoring or automation without somewhere to store the login info, at the very least.

It sounds like your machine probably wasn't capable of running Aero on whatever IGP it had, more than anything. Aero Basic runs excellently on even really old stuff (and handles screen drawing much more intelligently than XP did, so it feels considerably snappier).

6GB sounds excessive for that situation, but if your IGP is getting testy about system memory, it seems likely that it'd require a hell of a lot to simulate decent behavior.

(Typed on my Toshiba Win7 netbook, with a 1.6GHz Atom, 1GB of RAM, and Aero running without a hitch.)

It can go inside caves, buildings, tight places. Lots of use cases.
Users are delighted that Apple creates these little flourishes, the tiny details that add character and engagement to things like the iPhone.

Many have noted and appreciated the focus that lead Steve Jobs and Jony Ive to spend ages designing something consumers hardly notice.

And they've demonstrated quite well that the parts of a product which others consider trivial and put little thought towards, are in fact the places where a maker can demonstrate the care they have for the product, and by extension, for customers.

But then when they turn around and patent them, the knives come out. Because Apple staking a claim to these silly, trivial designs is ridiculous and "disgusting".

It's going to be really hard to resolve these two viewpoints.
They do. They released Collateral Murder, for instance, in an edited for TV spot and they released the full-length clip so that anyone who cared could check their accuracy.

I did. I'm satisfied. It might not be perfect but it's far better than anything I see on TV.
Irresistible Info Marketing Blueprint Review
It's funny because in this example, there are silver bullets that show up every once in a while. Extremely overpowered and specific things you do in a very specific order (a build) which wins an overwhelming majority of the time. There are a few shortcuts, but they don't make you better in the long run, they allow you to exploit information asymmetry, temporarily.
Thanks! Yes, I’ve already found that to be the case while working on the successor project. Plus, though I didn't mention it in the piece, there are many things peripheral to actual development that were a big time sink but that now are just done and I don’t need to think about (incorporation, associating my individual-type Apple dev program account with the company, contracts etc).
Almost every bank's overdraft fee in Canada has been pegged at $42.50 for the past 5 odd years, perhaps longer.

I just paid $42.50 for mistakenly giving a $3 refund in Canadian dollars via paypal, when both my paypal and my bank were flush with US funds, the simple fact that I mixed up a currency symbol means that refund now cost me $45.50.

This is one of the reasons I stand behind the bitcoin idea. Fee free banking would be too incredible.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but if the password is being checked on a remote system, then the variance in network transfer time is going to far, far (by many orders of magnitude) outstrip the difference in time a CPU takes to compare a few characters in a string.

Also, this shouldn't even be a source of information if the password is salted and hashed to a fixed length before storing. I'd hope any secure system was at least doing this to start with anyway.
You are just making my point more. Not only are you missing a bunch of other things that would need to be done (What about my HSA? What about all my other recurring payments not setup through the bank? What about my direct deposits?), it would take a substantial amount of time to take care of that. Why would I want to waste a day doing all that crap? I would definitely forget some things too.

Yes, it's possible, but it's a pain in the ass. I should be able to export my entire account from Bank A and login to Bank B and import it in a matter of minutes. They know that it is difficult, that's why they are doing these fee raises and getting away with it.

No, I wasn't worried about going to a professional, I was just warned by some people that I shouldn't spend so much time on the internet trying to figure out what I have and then convince myself that I actually have it, and that I should just go see someone and have them tell me what I have (if anything).

I ended up not really going to see anyone, though. The one time I did see someone, I happened to not really be that depressed at the time, and so he seemed to think that there wasn't much wrong with me, but I wasn't sure I could trust his opinion since I don't think I could effectively relay how I feel when I am depressed to him. I'm going to try and push myself to actually go see someone again, though. Hopefully I'll be able to explain myself better, or at least see someone frequently enough that eventually my feelings will come out.

That's the point - we're talking about their Q3 profit. The parent post suggested that the Kindle Fire might have depressed Q3 profits, which is impossible given that it's not being sold yet.

FYI, once it's sold, it's neither an asset or a liability - it's no longer reflected on the company's balance sheet. The revenue and COGS show up on the income statement, and may also be reflected on the cash flow statement. But they're off the balance sheet.
If you apply the same conspiracy law that would be applied to you and I to Castro I'm pretty sure he's legally responsible - by our standards - for tens of thousands of deaths.

Tanks roll and bombs fall on his command and if those weren't all criminals - duly convicted by a court - his orders to use those weapons is murder.

But yeah, he's certainly not Idi Amin.
That's exactly what this reminded me of. Very cool.
They haven't sold any yet.
Put a pistol on it, or an explosive charge and you've got something the military would probably be interested in.

There's no denying this is cool, but there's also no denying that this type of technology could be used for very evil stuff. Launch one of these with a GPS a mile or so from a target and you've got an automated nasty.

Not to hard to think of counter measures. I suspect some kind of silly string ack ack could probably do bad things to those rotors. Mini "Barrage Balloons" with Monofilament lines and netting might come into vogue in certain circles...
Anyone else immediately think of those floating orbs from half-life 2? I'm imagining the U.S. military will be developing something similar if it hasn't already - the use cases just seem too extensive. I mean, something like that could float along in front of a unit/convoy deployed in hostile areas and scan/sense for IEDs, or you could have a distributed swarm of these patrolling streets at night with IR cameras, reporting any trouble. They'd be able to see under canopies, inside alleyways, even enter enclosures and buildings (physically if not legally). The fact that it's blades are some-what enclosed also makes it safer for close quarters operations without getting thwacked or cut up by a helicopter blade as well.

Another orwellian thought with a mixture of huxley - what if the future doesn't begin with these types of surveillance tech imposed on us by our government, patrolling our streets with cameras and other sensors, but rather with a slick company manufacturing and marketing it as a guardian-angel device?

Afraid of a family member being unsupervised? Call in the UAV to keep tabs on them from your smartphone. Want to go for a jog, but it's getting dark out? Bring along the Orb with flash-light, GPS, ability to call for help, etc. If you think it would be too ridiculous to happen, and that people wouldn't want to look ridiculous to these things hovering over them at all times, just wait until they get smaller...
Surprisingly, with sufficient samples you can filter out the jitter that comes with transit time, and still execute a timing attack. From the abstract:

Our work analyzes the limits of attacks based on accurately measuring network response times and jitter over a local network and across the Internet. We present the design of filters to significantly reduce the effects of jitter, allowing an attacker to measure events with 15-100µs accuracy across the Internet, and as good as 100ns over a local network.

With the paper available at [1]. Nate Lawson and Tyler Nelson also did a Black Hat presentation on remote timing attacks ([2] and [3]). Bottom line is that if you're interested in using a timing attack, and you've got some effort to throw at the problem, remote ones are feasible.

Old ideas put together in a new way (literally: off-the-shelf components). It's convenient how everything - rotor, control surfaces - is tucked away. And it can execute a rolling landing.

They say they had a hover/fly plane, but take-off and landings were difficult, and the spherical design was an attempt to solve it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pF0uLnMoQZA&t=1m40s (1:40)). Although... perhaps the impressive aspects come from the R&D in the antecedent aircraft.

Hobbyists have long showed-off hovering remote-controlled model planes; the automatic control is what's really impressive, encapsulating that skill.
>But we're not talking about music piracy.

But all types of digital piracy are connected by similar economical choices of the consumer.

Valve, iTunes, Spotify, Hulu, and Netflix all combat piracy by being more convenient than the alternative. I'd much rather use those services to get what I want.

However, if content is not readily available digitally, then plenty of people have no problem getting that content via piracy. And the reason they do that is simple: the risk of getting caught and punished is vanishingly small. Even when the RIAA was at it's most aggressive, the number of people sued was trivial compared to the people who were file-sharing.

I think it boils down to this: if you are not in the marketplace, your stuff will be pirated. So get in the digital marketplace and "close the buggy-whip factory" already.
Awesome work. Love the simplicity.

By selling Kindles, Amazon can secure their place in the ebook market. Without it they'd be just another player. And they probably get better margins on ebooks, since distribution (bandwidth) is cheap.
I appreciate the reply. Feel free to be blunt. I never claimed to be an expert. However, I don't think I'm nearly as naive as any craigslist poster you suggest. But feel free to laugh at me if you'd like.

However, I am not kidding myself. I understand implementation is important. Perhaps I shouldn't have thrown out random numbers like that, but if you could give me some more reasonable estimates? Although I know you don't know what I am trying to create so it'd be difficult for you to give me an accurate estimate I suppose...

I am sure many people feel depression -- and probably beyond simple teenage angst. I realize I haven't been in their shoes, but I want to offer advice that I've figured out in my own experience, that lets you feel happy whenever you want to:

1) Think about all the people who have it worse than you. Think about what you have and what you can be thankful for.

2) Speak using only positive words for an hour, avoiding negative words.

3) Keep a list of things you are proud that you have accomplished, and as you read it, smile a bit. You get natural feedback.

4) Do a small thing to fix your circumstances, such as cleaning a window, that you can then sit back and enjoy. It's not much but you can do an excellent job of it, and it will give you what psychologists call a "feeling of agency" -- that you have control over much in your world if you just put your mind to it.

5) Help someone! I just watched this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxEkBt3c3CM

6) Lower your expectations for things you cannot control. The only source of disappointment is failed expectations, and the amount of desire you had is proportional to the disappointment.

7) Triple your deadlines, get an organizer to clear your head, and you will remove your stress.

8) Talk to someone who loves you and respects you. Share something that you both enjoy!

If you do these things you're almost guaranteed to feel much happier!
