>>..you run out of steam--that is, dopamine

Try amphetamines to plow through the occasional grinding. A colleague of mine the other day (half?) joked that Sillion Valley runs on caffeine, amphetamines (Adderal, Ritalin, Vyvanse, etc) and cocaine. I think the same statement applies to Academia (at least the first two substances, not sure about the last one..).

From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s

"His colleague Alfréd Rényi said, "a mathematician is a machine for turning coffee into theorems", and Erdős drank copious quantities. (This quotation is often attributed incorrectly to Erdős himself. The German original, "Ein Mathematiker ist eine Maschine, die Kaffee in Sätze verwandelt"[11] of the sentence is a wordplay on the double meaning of "Satz": "theorem" or "residue of coffee", lost in the English translation)[12]

After 1971 he also took amphetamines, despite the concern of his friends, one of whom (Ron Graham) bet him $500 that he could not stop taking the drug for a month.[13] Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinence mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine use."

As they say in The Men Who Stare at Goats, "Amphetamines- Not to be abused, but very fucking handy."

With Eclipse, 99% I don't need a mouse to refactor, navigate, build, run unit-tests within Eclipse or outside, and packaged a rather large codebase and its dependencies (3rd-parties or not) and Maven contributes to that significant productivity gain as well.

Eclipse recently also introduced an App-Store clone to download plugins and so far I haven't had the need to hunt down plugins from the world wide web (except for the exotic ones).

Granted I'm new with VS.NET, I'm guessing that will not be the case. Somehow I'm probably still a long way to learn how to utilize VS.NET to the same level of productivity with Eclipse... and even longer time requires to surpass it...
Law student. These sort of situations have been considered by the people that write criminal laws.

If you recommend a crime to someone and then they do it then you're a party to that offence (http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/page-6.html#h-5 [Canadian Criminal Code, but I assume US is quite similar on this]).

There are a variety of ways to become a party to a crime, and then you're as guilty as the rest of 'em.
I'm not following.

Say the app is originally $10.

A year later you push out the "2013 feature pack" for $10 more.

Existing customer pays $10 ($20 total over lifetime) for upgrade. New user pays $20 at once ($10 base + 2013 pack).

A year passes, 2014 pack comes out, existing user pays $10 ($30 over lifetime), new user pays $20 ($10 base + 2014 pack (which subsumed all features of the 2013 pack)).

The existing user is always getting an at-the-moment discount.

Now, yes, the existing user pays more over the lifetime than the new user, but this is no different than conventional upgrades. If you've religiously bought every Lightroom upgrade you've paid more than the guy who jumped in at Lightroom 4 over the lifetime of the product, even with the upgrade discounts.

Put differently: if I’ve written an app that 50% new, don’t I deserve to get paid by existing customers for that work?

Yeah, about that ...
There are such precedents. Right wing lawyers and bloggers tend to deny that such precedents exist, and left wing lawyers and bloggers tend to say that they have more meaning than they probably do—but there are precedents.

Probably the best example in Linda Greenhouse's essay for the NYT (http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/21/never-before...) is the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (it prevents hospitals from refusing care to uninsured patients; this coerces hospitals into commerce. (That a law had to be passed to make this the standard is IMO disgusting. Obviously the Hippocratic oath applies only to doctors and not to hospital bean counters.)

It's worth noting (a few paragraphs later) that EMTLA has a knock-on effect, too: you or your employer pays for all of this uninsured/underinsured treatment through higher premiums. Greenhouse: "The uninsured don’t exist apart from commerce. To the contrary, their medical care results in some $43 billion of uncovered health care costs annually and, through cost-shifting, adds $1,000 a year to the average cost of a family insurance policy. People who don’t want to buy broccoli or a new car can eat brussels sprouts or take the bus, but those without health insurance are in commerce whether they like it or not." This 1986 law actually makes your insurance more expensive, forcing you into commerce that you may not be interested in.

The flaw with Obamacare—and the only way it could have been passed because of the complete and total insanity of American politics today—is that it doesn't actually establish universal healthcare. If the individual mandate had been instead cast as a tax which is then used by the individual to select their insurer (IIRC a key feature of the Clinton healthcare plan that was scuttled), then it would have been no different than Social Security (which has whiners saying "but I will have a better retirement plan, so why should I be paying this?"—tell that to the people living large on their Enron 401(k)) or school taxes (which has childless and empty-nest whiners saying that they don't get benefit from schools) or anything else where there's a mandate that you pay something for a benefit that you may or may not use in a particular year.

Better yet, look at the houses that burned uncontrolled in the Tennessee county for want of a $75 annual fee (http://streeteasy.com/nyc/talk/discussion/22973-free-market-...).

Sorry. I'm completely baffled by what's happened to American politics in the last decade. I was disgusted enough with what was going on during the Clinton years that it was an easy choice for me to emigrate to Canada (not perfect, and some of our politicians are emulating American belligerence a little too much, especially the local moronic mayor), but now I don't even recognize the country in which I was born. It saddens me.
Based on my numbers, it’d be great if the Mac App Store changed how it works so small developers can continue to reward their customers.
Providing the files needed is a little bit more in terms of actively participating than just saying "wouldn't it be nice."
The most expensive part of a software project is the people, not the licenses. People who pay for MS believe that they're saving money in the long run.
Why Google.com Homepage Looks So Simple
Angry Birds and other games are in a totally different category. If you buy “Angry Birds Space” it’s reasonable to assume (a) you’re done with the original, and (b) you’re going to get as many hours of enjoyment out of it as the original, so it’s fair to pay as much.

This isn’t the case with productivity applications, necessarily – you can keep using Delicious Library 2 and it’ll keep working great, so we need a way to reward customers who say, “Yes, I’ll pay to have some extra functionality.”

Things a startup accelerator is Not
SEO Expert got angry when he was told he's being a spammer
We generally don’t charge to update our apps to a new operating system. In fact, that’s been a lot of what we’ve done to version 2 over the last couple years – it now runs on an OS TWO major versions beyond what we wrote it for. And that was a free upgrade for all users.

But if I rewrite an app and improve the art and the flow and the interaction and every little part of it, there’s no way to say, “Hey, pay and we’ll give you the better interface.”

I spend years tweaking every single part of my apps when I make a new version. I can’t just throw a switch to turn those on or off.

Finally: it’s pretty much my job to bitch about what Apple does wrong, just as it is yours: it’s the only way they will improve. They’re not gods. They need feedback.
If my neighbours hornets nest had killer hornets that were biting all the children in the neighbourhood and the police / council refused to do anything; then it'd be a damned shame if someone neatly removed the hornets nest.

Of course that wouldn't make it any more legal; but your defence would have a field day with the prosecution I'd imagine.

IANAL but I've watched the first double episode of The Firm, and I reckon I've got a pretty good grasp on how the law works now!
If the problem is due to my poor worksmanship and it has always been there since the very beginning (even though you may not have noticed it for 2 years), I'd gladly fix it for free. Of course, with a bathroom door you'd have to prove it's not due to wear and tear, but this doesn't apply to software - the bits in your binary don't change with time.
+1.

Somebody has to take the responsibility for the collected money and in this case it has to be you if you want to make it anonymous. You can consolidate from lot of payers and distribute to the receivers.
good point, but we sometimes delete questions from Stack Overflow and that'd also invalidate all pages (depending on how old the question was), would it not?
I agree that a DA would be highly unlikely to prosecute as it would take a large amount of effort for little gain, but this clearly fits the definition of conspiracy. There is no requirement that conspirators know each other, and posting the files required seems like an overt step.
A game is a different animal. If you add some new levels to a game people have finished, they’ll dive back in. That’s news.

If you’re making a productivity app, and you dribble out features, the press is going to ignore you. Can you imagine anyone running a story like, “Delicious Library 2.8 is out, and it includes a pretty new way to look at tables”? It’s just not going to happen, unless your name is Apple.

The press hit we get on a major release is part of what gives us the important spike in sales. It creates “buzz.” There’s a reason why even Apple doesn’t, like, just release iOS 5 feature-by-feature – they want to spring the whole thing on the world, so they get a ton of attention.
Zero, seeing has AHCA doesn't provide universal health care either (but it's a baby step in the right direction).

According to what I understand, the U.S. has had three chances at something approaching universal healthcare—in the late 60s/early 70s around the same time that Canada was dancing around the same question; in the 90s under Clinton; and under Obama. Given that it took about fifty years after Canada[1] to even get this passed…it will likely be a long time before anything rational gets passed.

[1] Per Wikipedia, the Federal framework for jointly-funded universal healthcare in Canada was passed in 1966 under Pearson, and it was strengthened in 1984. OHIP was first created (as OMSIP) in 1966, reinvented in 1969 (as OHSIP), and finally renamed in 1972 to OHIP.

They seem to be utilizing a Kinect for capturing texture-mapped point clouds of indoor environments and objects. If it really does this, with true-to-size dimension measurements, this will be an incredible tool for "surveying" physical objects and spaces.
Have you used Pages recently? It’s got a button in the default toolbar to “Publish on iWork” which has never been out of beta and is now cancelled. It doesn’t work in HiDPI modes of Lion. It doesn’t support Lion’s keyboard macros. I wrote one letter in it last week and ended up filing three different bugs.

So, yes, software does “rot,” if it’s not kept up-to-date with the latest operating systems and, to an extent, the latest user interface metaphors.

Is "breaking into" a shanty town built on my neighbourhood's various front lawns illegal?
Most citizens of civilized countries—and a number of countries that certain folks in the U.S. consider 'uncivilized'—would disagree with you.

In fact, they would largely say that healthcare is not a free market and shouldn't be treated as such under any circumstance.

I happen to agree with them, which makes me happy I live in Canada, where most citizens and doctors agree with me on that matter.
The increased engineering burden of having to consider software license costs when designing systems hardly seems worth it. Imagine if you had to pay a per-node fee for your Hadoop cluster? How much extra effort would be put into optimizing the individual performance of each node and job if there were an additional 50% per-node cost to run it?
But why should the users be responsible for compensating the developer when it is Apple who changed something in the OS? Perhaps the developers should ask Apple to pay for their time.
I do the exercises one at a time, basically. Whichever chapter I'm on, I do the exercises on that. Although I back-read to understand the current chapter better, I don't actually repeat the exercises. I'll keep that in mind from now on. Thanks for the advice and that link!
I discovered this truth myself in my senior year of high school. Prior to that year I got through high school doing roughly no work outside of class and managed to get low A's in my classes through intellect. I also competed in track and field throughout high school somewhat seriously.

However, in my senior year of high school, I ended up putting in much more time and dedication to track (as well as joining the cross country team, making it an all year commitment), so I spent an average of ~22ish hour/wk doing workouts related to that over the course of the year. I expected the little time I spent on school to drop to zero, however I was surprised that I was actually much more motivated to work on my relatively easy/unstimulating schoolwork. After working hard at running before and after school, it just felt unnatural to not work hard at schoolwork.
The hidden pitfalls of the JOBS Act
This was a really great read. Please do the rest tomorrow. After reading it I went and read over my message again and noticed some inconsistencies.

Also, I think it would've been better to wait until tomorrow or the day after to post this. The front page is already littered with tech crunch's noise.
Now, if I want all these pages to point to the newest page -- how do I do that?
Every time when the newest page number changes (e.g. from 599 to 600), it invalidates all other pages anyway, right?
They all have to point to page 600 now.

Moreover, I have to make code, that generates link to my newest page more complex.

Another consideration: it could be beneficial from SEO perspective if content constantly shifts on older pages.

When bias gets in the way of collaboration
Suddenly Microsoft is the Hippest Tech Company Around
Be your own technical co-founder. It's the advice I give more than any other when talking to young entrepreneurs.

I read this advice a long time ago. Didn't take it seriously enough for far too long, relying on others to do my coding and seeing back-to-back startups run into problems as a result. Yet where did it go wrong? I was relatively technically focused once. Why did I let myself get shuffled to such a degree I was now the 'biz guy'?

I was never much of a coder - last programming I had done was in the 90s at college - but in outdated languages. However, I recognized that it was time to get back up to speed. It's so easy nowadays to learn something like Ruby On Rails, such great resources for learning. The community of hackers out there will respond well if you treat them with the respect they deserve, and put the effort. Really doesn't take long.

If I can do it, anyone can do it. If you've got yourself into the 'biz guy' zone, at least get good enough to make an MVP - heck just get good enough you can work with a more technical person and know what's going on. There's just no excuse to not do this nowadays.
'where those wronged by the infraction are themselves in the wrong' - it is certainly possible for this to be a crime, consider killing a burglar.
This is amusing, as I've been using Parse's Facebook API for my app which looks almost identical to what this tutorial is creating. However I'm uploading the image to a web form instead of storing it in Parse, so it's viewable in a web browser as well. I'm still very new to it all though, would you use the Parse REST API to view these images on a website? Any chance of the next tutorial showing that?
Uh, there is a big bill coming at the end. You need to keep your system running, even though you now have to pay for licenses, don't you?

When building your system during BizSpark, you are unlikely to make architectural choices with respect to software licenses, because they are free. Then you graduate, and you're probably looking at a system that uses way more licenses than it would have if you had to optimize around that parameter from the get go.

BizSpark is an excellent move by Microsoft, and likely is helpful for folks starting out who already know the .NET stack. But I'm very skeptical that working in the Microsoft stack offers such a technical advantage that it is worth the risk that your business is not going to be in a position to suddenly have its operational costs bloated by software licenses by some arbitrary date determined by Microsoft.

Hackers frequently have an idea, build 90% of an MVP and then never launch. Why would they get so close and never cross the finish line?

It seems obvious: if you don't launch, you can't fail.

A subtle fear of rejection is understandably common in a population that experienced it frequently in their formative years.
