This is going to be a stupid question (but I'd really like to know!)

How do these Kickstarter projects make such quality "model" photos showcasing their project (e.g. the guy dancing)? Are these just skillfully customized stock photos? If not, has anyone had success with outsourcing/hiring someone to make these (such as for an iPhone app)? I'd love to spruce up my screenshots...

Or, ideally, all of the above. :)
Even the most graduate-school-inspired businesses are about 5% pre-existing research and 95% solving a problem people will pay for. Academic research is, almost by definition, solving problems that people will not yet pay for (I say this having been a graduate student and professor, and now in the startup game).

I'd encourage you to think about what marketable problems you are well-equipped to solve, rather than thinking about what you can do to sell your pre-existing research. The former is the essence of a startup and the latter is, on average, a recipe for disappointment.

On the legal matters: the University will almost certainly license the idea to you. Universities are not in the business of business, so just holding the patent is not particularly useful to them. They want someone to go out and start a business around the idea. You would be a good candidate for that. There is essentially no chance that they won't license it to you if you are credibly starting a business around it (though they'll probably want some kind of stake in the company). This is exactly the situation Google has: Stanford owns the PageRank patent and licenses it to Google in return for (I believe) a portion of Google's early stock.

My intuition suggests that the rents being so damn high is yet another case of the 1%, already rich, screwing the rest of us to maintain their cash flow. However, as the late John McCarthy cautioned, "he who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense" [1]. So, I'll need to do my arithmetic before jumping to this conclusion. Once I'm finished, I'll post an "Ask HN" question on this issue.

You can break grammar rules and be understood. One of the points of some of the exercises was to show that communication is more complicated than the seemingly a priori rules. Human languages are not formal systems.

It's actually pretty easy with spoken language to completely mangle the rules and not only be understood but be even more evocative; that's how languages evolve.

It's more complicated with written words, but certainly possible.

One trick is to make up a completely new rule and "teach" it to the reader. Another is to create a pattern and then break it for effect. The results can be nonsensical, but quite meaningful.

Not something you might use in an everyday report or memo, but a good tool and a great way to de-provincialize language.

BTW, your "Cat mouse mouse run run." sentence can be made intelligible by inflection rather easily. In English nouns and verbs can often double as adjectives and adverbs. With a little preparation a reader can be made to "hear" the inflection and understand the meaning.

Try and puzzle this out:

((Cat mouse) (mouse run) run)

Loose meaning is something like: The catlike mouse runs with a mouselike gait.

Tarzan explaining something obvious to an idiot big game hunter...

(The movie Tarzan, though. The Tarzan in the novels actually spoke excellent English, but with a French accent.)

Another trick was to take grammars from other language and use English vocabulary. Or play Yoda like games.

IANAECE but to me there's 2 issues:

1. FCC Licensing: There is an issue with FCC licensing in that you have to make sure your equipment has proper shielding, broadcasts in the right frequencies, etc. As long as the thing is considered one unit physically, even if the radio parts aren't yours and were already certified, it still has to be certified. Laptop manufacturers can get away without it by having the wireless card be a separate board that plugs into a slot under the laptop. Could Raspberry Pi do the same? Perhaps, but that's still a change of design, possible extra costs in design/layout, software, and parts.

2. Software: As anyone who's used linux for over a few years can attest, much of the firmware of wifi chips are a sort of black box and making software to work with a given chip is a nightmare unless you are working with the manufacturer. Why they didn't partner with a particular chipset manufacturer could boil down to price. They got lucky with the cheap licensing for the CPU and perhaps couldn't get something similar with wifi or didn't feel that it was worth the effort for all the extra space, cost, and design issues for this first version.

I was particularly shocked by the following:

"The Anonymous protests for the most part work by having a lot of people send a lot of commands to a website, that it can’t handle so many requests. This is equivalent of a crowd of people going to the door of a building and having a protest on the street. It’s basically legitimate. And when people object to this, let’s look at who they are and what they do. Usually they are people who are doing much worse things"

So he's saying that DDoS attacks are legitimate, and anyone who doesn't think they are is up to no good?

Hi, I'm the project creator of the Audman and I personally took all the shots and video. I had an Audman prototype with me and saw a crazy tap dancing guy on Market St. and just went up to him and asked if he'd dance around with it and he did. I also came across the GetAround guys with a Tesla Roadster and asked if I could have my friend sit in it and get some photos and they were cool. So long story short. The best way to spruce up your screenshots is to just get out there with a camera and and try out interesting things and ask people if you can take their photos. After that, use Photoshop or any other photo editing package to color balance crop and apply any effects to make the image pop and I'm sure you'll get some really great imagery.

- "About me"

I get all this plus the benefit of a locatioan-aware posts on my mobile, social network, groups, messaging, single sign on with my mail, calendar, docs, youtube, etc.

Also, in my experience my Google+ stream has a pretty high quality of posts.

Oh, and as i said, the Google Buzz-like location thing is nice, too.

And i get Twitter like public posts/streams. Following particular persons is nice. Befriending some page on Facebook is 90% of the time a subscription to advertisement in your stream. I, for example, follow a lot of photographers on google plus and it's nice, because the photo capabilites are nice, the posts are excellent and it makes my personal stream even better.
On the other hand, i "follow" some pages of bands or cities or games i like on facebook and it's basically ads in my facebook stream with the occasional interesting post.
Why not follow these photographers on facebook? Because it didn't "just happpen". On Google plus some people share the circles and voila, there we go with interesting persons (persons, not companies!). Now i have also quite a lot of googlers and musicians i'm following and it's mostly been only interesting personal posts.

Why not facebook? It's security/sharing settings are just too cumbersome. Setting up how my plus account looks like for friends, workmates and the whole world was intuitive, easy and fast.

That said: For me, Google Plus is so much better then Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook combined.
I can understand your sentiment. I designed the product and can tell you that the casing isn't bulky, it's 1.5mm thick all around which is less than some iPhone cases. I also made it super quick and easy to open the door to get to your iPhone's touch screen and the iPhone app we are working on will allow you a lot of flexibility in what the buttons trigger. The buttons allow for fast forwarding, skipping and album/artist skipping, basically how long you hold down the button takes you up levels in the music directory and of course it works with other apps such as Pandora as well. I can also tell you that people that were at first skeptical tried it out and commented that the UI for most music/podcast listening was a bit superior in that everything was just a thumb press away. Granted, this product isn't for everyone, but I don't think it should be so quickly dismissed as we've spent a lot of time on the UI, electronics and firmware and app to make a great experience. Don't be fooled by the retro-styling aspect as that was simply a design decision. Also, do you know of any other accessories that combine a battery to charge your iPhone with portable speakers in such a small package?

Start talking to people in the area you are interested in. Find the person is initiating the hiring process (not HR.) Find out what the need is and if you can fulfill that need. A resume should come towards the end of the interviewing process when a job has been extended. The resume is a marketing document, like a relevant piece of marketing material that a competent sales person will leave with a prospect after the prospect has agreed to make a commitment. A resume should never (general case) lead the discussion of employment.

That's an odd résumé, which doesn't look at all like a software engineer résumé. Is this intentional or is CmdrTaco not an engineer at all? Programming languages? Frameworks? Specifics about the scaling and daily operations of /.?

If I were hiring engineers, I honesty wouldn't know what to do with such a résumé.
I guess disallowing won't work if what you say is correct i.e. Google doesn't measure site performance with Googlebot. However, this wouldn't explain the slowdown since September unless changes were also made to include JS execution time in site performance within the services you mentioned.

Perhaps a solution then would be to trigger the AJAX on mouse over, but that seems kludgy. In my case, I need make the AJAXed content part of the initial page load anyway, for the sake of user experience. But I can see cases where Google should not be counting AJAX as part of the page load time. God forbid somebody uses long polling for example. Maybe Google is doing this in a smart way, looking at the changes after the AJAX and determining if they should count as part of the page load.

It doesn't matter if he has the private keys of the original server. He can MITM it with a brand new fully authenticated official SSL cert because he now owns the domain.

Orig. Server <-- SSL --> MITM Server <-- SSL --> Client

The only thing that usually prevents this is that the MITM Server normally can't get an authenticated SSL cert for the domain and so the client can detect the fake cert.

If SSL worked like SSH then your browser would whine that the cert changed but the browsers currently don't do that. I think even convergence (http://convergence.io/) wouldn't detect this case because it looks to the outside world to be totally legit. Scary.
