If you are asking in general, I have no idea. lol. If you are asking specific monetization there is a paid app for .99 and a free app with ads in it. Most of that is from the ads in the free app.

If I wanted to I could probably redo the graphics now and actually make significantly more. There are a few apps that do the same thing that make some real money. I just did this a test when I was first learning about the app store and I don't find it to be interesting so haven't put any time or money into it. I just find it interesting that it still gets downloaded every day and makes enough money in a month for a decent meal :-)

IPV6 is unlikely, IMHO, to be very visible.

Web and email servers that are publicly accessible, and your desktop or laptop that you connect at home or at a Wifi point, will probably still be IPv4.

IPv6 will be used internally by large companies, by large DSL ISPs and Comcast, but the interface the end-user will see, will be IPv4.

I think 99% of the usage will occur in non-visible ways - Comcast will have all their home-subscriber modems put out IPv4 on the side you see, but v6 on the pieces you don't, such as the management interface that lets them remotely configure and manage your modem.

Combined with large 6to4 gateways they will run on their edge (where they connect with non-v6 enabled systems), most people will not really notice anything.

The tipping point will come, but not for another 5 years I think, that is, 2 more hardware upgrade generations.

Mobile of course, will go to v6 first, since no-one cares as to how their phone accesses the web.

It's eating patterns, amounts and composition of the rest of the food environment. How thais eat rice (one small scoop) and the rest of their food culture is very different from USA's food culture. It's a huge inconvenient effort to avoid unhealthy calorie and carb ratios in america, so you must compensate by avoiding carbs as much as you can. In thailand, it's very easy to avoid crap and eat very healthily. Even thai desserts and candy is significantly healthier with significantly less amounts of sugar and other crap.

His opening two caveats are a useful antidote to autobiographies marketed as treasure maps.

First, even though every guy who has done a successful start-up somehow feels
he's therefore become the philosopher-king of business, all experience is
bounded. Further, there are companies that exist to sell products at a profit,
and companies that exist to sell equity to investors. I only know about
the former. The latter tend to flourish in the later stages of a bubble,
and rely on a totally different set of skills related to promotions,
networking and PR.

Second, even within the universe of relevant companies, all "rules for success"
are either obvious or incomplete. In other words, there are no rules for
success. If there were, lots more people would do successful start-ups.

Adoption rates? I don't have any exact numbers, but I'm guessing they're basically zero. Most end-users just use their ISP's caching nameservers, which will almost certainly be using the ICANN root. Even if an end-user decides to change their nameservers, it'd probably be to a service like Google anycast (e.g. 8.8.8.8) or OpenDNS.
It's hard to make any kind of statement about the value of a stock without making an implied statement about future performance, given that most of the value is based on expected future outcomes.

Generally, the employee handbook of any public company will explicitly forbid employees from making statements that connect to either future performance or other major non-public info such as products or hiring. (If for no other reason than to protect the company itself from accusations that it's letting its people "pump" it's stock.)

My Google searches actually fail very often. Outside of a few topics (programming and music, mainly), and excluding queries that lead me directly to Wikipedia, I'd say the success rate for "exploratory questions" (not "facebook home page") is around 50%. But since other search engines generally do worse, I can't say if the information doesn't exist, or if Google fails to find it.

Search felt good enough at some point. It no longer does, at least for me. I don't know if my expectations have become too high, or if search engines have become worse, though.

I'm sure there are more than 200 developers, so that lost person day would mean much less than $150,000 in lost profits.

One can chose addresses that maximize compressible sequences of zeros. If I were allocated a subnet of 2002:/, I could make my computer's address 2002::2 and my router 2002::1.

Realistically the first 64 bits are going to be very ugly, so I disagree that a v6 will ever be much easier to remember than a v4 address. Especially with the 0 compression being back-ported to v4 stacks, running on the 10. network - You can ping 10.1 as 10.0.0.1 on many stacks now.

You need a coupon for tracking. You don't necessarily have to give hefty discounts that are attractive to the bargain hunters. Even offers like get a soda for free will work in helping you keep track of what is working.

There really aren't that many online to offline tracking devices that work better than coupons.

One other idea is to list a unique phone number on Facebook. So you can track which sales come because of Facebook and which come because of your other marketing activities.

Can Asking for Your Facebook Password Save the Economy?
If the customer sees an IPv4 WAN address in the medium distance future, it's likely to be a private address. Many ISPs are going to do "carrier grade nat", which just means that the NAT your current router is doing will be aggregated at the ISP. Your router will be more of a simple bridge device. (It's bad to perform double network address translation of packets, and the relevant DS-Lite rfcs discuss this).

I think this will be the tipping point where I start seeing a v6 address as the first class citizen. When I have to start bugging my ISP for a port mapping, I will prefer to just have the entire session occur natively on v6 because it will no longer be the toy, it will have graduated to the tool.

I will never understand this mentality. A website is a storefront, it creates trust. Do you want your portfolio company working out of a basement, a shack?
> No, that's not what parent is doing. For example, he may prefer they didn't do the work at all.

He specifically complained about them taking money to do it. I genuinely don't see how you could read that as "I would prefer it if you did not create an embeddable emacs at all." His comment very strongly suggests that he was fine with them doing the work, but he didn't want them to be paid for it.

> Personally, I have no problem with this - in fact, I'm paid to write FOSS - but some people feel uneasy with the commercialization of the work that traditionally belongs to communities of volunteers

I agree, and that's the attitude I'm arguing against. Free software has never been about demanding that people not take money for their troubles. It has often worked out that way for the vast majority of contributors, but I don't see how the unprofitability of OSS development is a good thing. More money going into free software means more free software and quite possibly higher quality free software (since they don't need to be distracted by other work that puts bread on the table), which is good for everyone. I have no problem with somebody like you or the OP taking money in return for making useful software.

I fully agree here. A couple of years ago, when I went on interviews at startups, they were all using nosql db's and were proud of it. More recently, I've been interviewing at startups that are now bigger, need to mine the data that they've collected over the last few years, and now are migrating off of nosql db's to rdbms' (or creating strange amalgams of the 2). I did see this coming, but it was very hard to make them understand back when it was the coolest thing.

3. ANNOUNCE FEATURES AND IMPROVEMENTS IN-APP

Users don’t notice when your product development slows down. They’re logging in to use your product, not monitor your development progress. However, if things go quiet for long enough, they’ll be easily distracted when a competitor releases a new feature, whether valuable or frivolous.

Good point. Maybe I'm not an active enough user, but G+ does not seem to be using the continuous development model that's gained popularity recently (Github, Chrome/ium, etc).

Rather they seem to be using the waterfall model - months of development, rollout, repeat, all the while little pain points continue unaddressed.

For example, it took them several months after rollout to add hashtags, and that was one of the most requested features. And of course the recent big facelift is another bit of evidence.

Personally I just wish they'd add hastag filtering to circles [1]. I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but to increase my engagement I simply require better signal:noise filtering.

"Things, not strings" does not seem like an effective tagline for marketing this to the public. Are non-programmers used to the term "string" in the sense of "text"? And even for those who are, I still think the tagline is too abstract. I would prefer something like "Understanding the concepts behind the words you search" (or "Understanding the things").

IMO the linked video does a better job at introducing the feature than the article.
False choice. VCs have a functionally unlimited budget-- they can give a damn about both with a negligible cost.

Mental state is an element of most crimes. Conspiracy, for example requires that the conspirator intend for the object of the conspiracy to be carried out. A detective posing as a hit man might arrange with a woman to murder her husband for $5000[0], but can clearly demonstrate he had no intent to carry out the murder. An informant can sell a terrorist fake explosives and clearly demonstrate he had no intention of blowing anything up.

I, as a private citizen could do the same thing, though I might end up having to argue to a jury that my intentions were pure if the police stepped in halfway through.

No. It's really not at all.

And you're taking the same mischaracterization that an above post takes: I do not feel this was okay because "these are nasty people", as if my delicate sensibilities cringe at the idea of "icky people", people that are different than me or have different view than I have.

That is a false representation of my views.

I think it's okay to roll up on these people because they think it's okay to blow up bridges, and because they took all necessary actions to indicate intent, which would clearly and unequivocally be a crime.

Due process? They will get their day in court. If it turns out that they were just minding their business, being upstanding citizens in our society until an FBI agent kidnapped them and forced them to participate in a bomb plot, then I will gladly eat crow and be on the side of their exoneration and justice.

I am sure there are many things our government does that would not stand up with respect to a hard, realistic look at constitutionality. I am not naive enough to believe that "because the government does it, it's not illegal" nor am I for the wrongful persecution of political or religious organizations "just because I don't like them".

But here is my bottom line: people that plot to blow up pieces of American infrastructure and who then take steps to follow out that plan are criminals. I'm kind of amazed I even have to state this.
I think it's in society's best interests to roll these people up. I have absolutely zero qualms about taking people off the chess board that think it's a great idea for everyone to pile into the van and visit the bomb site.

I agree.

That's why we formed the PreCrime police force, but were forced to shut it down because of that movie with Tom Cruise ... Minority Consort or something like that.
