Definitely. REST(ful) APIs are good approach for where you have clearly identifialble resources, which is what they are all about. But if your API is more procedurally oriented -- take as a clear example a simple Web search -- than REST is not the most optimal approach.
Self selecting and perpetually reinforcing population of young people living a certain life style you have to adopt to fit in... Or I could stop beating about the bush and flat out say it's just too cut-throat, crime-ridden and debauched for my liking. There's also pollution, traffic, over-population, poor living conditions (even adjusted for the increased salary) and crime (worth mentioning twice). At that point, it matters little how vibrant, exciting and full of opportunities it might be.
When you're offering to large old-ish enterprises like banks and such you will likely want to go with SOAP.

Add Table While Generating PDF, Stable Extraction of PDF Text & Images
The latest version of Aspose.Pdf for .NET (7.1.0) has been released. This new release provides a long awaited feature to add a table inside an existing PDF document. With the introduction of this feature Aspose.Pdf for .NET can add a table while generating PDF document from scratch, and it supports adding tables inside existing PDF documents. This release version also supports the feature to add a tooltip to a form field. But that’s not all. We have also added a feature that allows you to convert a linearized file into a non-linearized document (and vice-versa: convert a non-linearized file into a linearized document). We’ve made text and image extraction features more stable. Furthermore, we have greatly improved the image and text stamping feature. The feature to convert PDF files into PDF/A format has also been improved. Please note that in this release, we have specifically focused on memory management when dealing with existing PDF documents.
The point is that if those idiots can get funding the claim that one must toe the party line to attract funds is seriously impaired.
"In an interview with Newsgeek, Gafni said that the production cost for his recycled bicycles is around $9-12 each, and he estimates it could be sold to a consumer for $60 to 90, depending on what parts they choose to add."

Assuming they're talking US dollars, that's roughly the price of a bike from the supermarket. Granted, it'll be a truly dreadful bike, but it'll be OK as basic transport. I don't understand the emphasis on cheapness. Making cheap bikes is a solved problem.

Don't get me wrong, I think a cardboard bike is cool. I'd be particularly interested to hear about what they've done about things like bearings and attaching tyres.

The green side of it is interesting, as is the idea of an explicitly disposable bike. If it's easier to manufacture locally, or on a small scale or whatever, that'd be something. But a bike for $60-90 is not a new idea. They're out there right now.
I wouldn't flat out ask people to mentor you, just as you wouldn't ask someone explicitly to become 'close friends' right away - great relationships take time to be developed.

Instead, how about simply asking a more experienced entrepreneur or investor for their advise on your startup. Depending on where you live, you could approach them at local startup events (where are you based?) - offer to buy them lunch or coffee in exchange for their advise. Who knows, ideally one of those might become your startup's first investor - as the not-too-old adage goes, ask for advise to get funding, ask for funding to get advise.

Most people will be flattered if you just genuinely ask them for their opinion and help - the rest has to be developed over time.
You have to say no, but not like that or you won't be servicing clients in hard times.

I think what makes RottenTomatoes' rating system pretty good is their clear indication of 'good' and 'bad': A fresh tomato and a rotten tomato.

The clouds on this website aren't bad, but I didn't even realize they were there for a few minutes while I looked over the book covers. They blended into the background and didn't instantly provide a positive or negative connotation.

Since the site's name is 'I Dream Books', perhaps a nice fluffy pillow represents a good book. Or a dream bubble with a happy face. Perhaps the badly reviewed books get a dream bubble that's bursting, or has a nightmare inside.

You don't need a mentor. You need to start doing interesting things.

When you're doing interesting things you will meet people who are motivated to help you.

People won't take much of an interest in a person who is looking for a mentor but not doing anything.

Stop overthinking this. Establish relationships with other entrepreneurs near you. You can shoot the shit with them when things are good and when things are bad. You'll get introduced to other interesting people.

One day maybe you'll meet the fairy godmother you seem to be seeking, but if you don't you'll have made a start and know some interesting people. And, crucially, you'll be doing something.

Edit: Just saw that you're based in London. Go to the meetups and hackathons and python dojos and LRUG etc.

I'd be interested if cardboard is easier to work with than metal. I have this vision of a huge machine that basically eats waste paper and stamps out bicycles like paper cups.

You know, something that you could buy on a vacation trip for 20-30$ and just discard at the end. It would not need to be very durable. In fact, it would be fine if it lasted a few weeks. After that, it is biodegradeable paper waste.

I thought this was going to be yet another piece on the Javascript debate (perhaps a little unlikely from the New Yorker, but who knows?), instead of about punctuation in English.

Many here may be disappointed that it was the latter, but personally I found this a refreshing surprise. I've always liked semicolons but been a little afraid I may not be using them right.

Quit bitching. Who cares. People evaluate you on what you do and what they see you do, not on what others do. If people misunderstand because someone else misinforms them, that's not your problem. You can't fix every miscommunication.
My biggest concerns are how it handles impacts and how it stops. I can just see it folding just like cardboard if it ever hit something and emergency stopping, especially in the wet, could cause all kinds of painful and expensive problems.
Don't confuse data used to persuade investors with end-user features and benefits. The article has quotes where Gafni talks about initial feedback from investors; I think it's reasonable to assume that the $9/$60 figures are efforts to establish a notion of expected margin, not a marketing pitch.

The bicycle doesn't need to be cheaper than the traditional alternative. In fact, it'd probably sell better if it were slightly more expensive than the alternative, while emphasizing its apparently significant advantages elsewhere: disposability, fashion novelty, and "green"ness, the latter always being valuable social signal, perhaps especially among people I know that are enthusiastic about bicycles.
I love this line of inquiry. "Big Fish" is a good movie to watch along these lines if anybody is interested.

Does fiction have a place in business writing?

Yes, and it's sorely needed.

One point Swombat missed was that much of what we read as non-fiction is actually closer to very speculative science-fiction. For instance, nobody really knows what the year 1700 was like in England. We have various accounts, we make various assumptions, we fill in the blanks with educated guesses. In the end, whether we mean to or not, we create a narrative of things that happen that makes sense to us.

The same goes for 1900, or 1200. All of history in this way is a form of fiction. (A very good and very educational form, I might add)

The same goes for what constitutes popular science articles. Somebody wants to write a popular article on how human sexuality developed. So they accumulate lots of studies and data, then create an evolutionary-based scientific-sounding narrative around that. Makes for great reading, and most wouldn't even think of it as fiction, but I don't think it approaches the "truth" of something like 2+2=4, or even the validity of Newtonian Physics.

Our brains love narratives, stories, and will find them even where none exist. It's the way we are wired to learn. Pure fiction, by being unconstrained by facts, allows us to explore how various emotional states are reached and vicariously think about how we would act. It does a heck of a lot of good in a lot of ways, the least of which is that it helps us practice how to learn.
When a friend of mine moved to New York City, he started reaching out to top-notch designers (there are quite a few there) basically saying "Hey, I'm new to the town, here's what I do, here's what I've done, would you be interested in getting together to talk?" and surprisingly, a few of these people made time in their life to meet him. He has since fostered a relationship with industry leaders and now meets and works closely on side projects with some of the biggest names in design. I'm not saying this will always happen but I think you would be surprised at what people are willing to do if you show motivation. I agree with previous comments that you should be doing interesting things but also be prepared to just share your hopes and goals.

To answer your questions:
1) anywhere
2) yes. yes.
3) I think a good mentor will realize the nature of the relationship. I don't think they're always looking to gain something.
4) no idea.
Don't forget to offer PLENTY of immediately usable examples of the API. Like Pivotaltracker has copy/paste-able curl commands to try out the API. Have libs with consistent examples for all popular (and, if for some free PR, less popular languages). Version your API in the URL; you might need large changes to existing stuff, so you cannot trust on backward compatibility all the time while it is really annoying for devs when something works if they have to change it (or it stops working).

Edit; hire 'average' programmers from oDesk etc to build 'stuff' against it 'for clients' (threat it as a serious project) to figure out how easy it REALLY is to make things with it. Average programmers are, well, the average, so they will be the most likely consumers of your API. If they have no clue at all, you didn't go far enough perfecting everything. For instance we hired a bunch of devs to do a Windows plugin for our monitoring system and we found out our documentation and examples were completely unusable for them. We'll have to rewrite/refactor all of that and have them re-try.
Ugh. I had repressed the memories of losing hours of game time in Dragon Warrior. Losing saves in that game almost made me quit playing games...almost.
Thanks georgespencer, that got me realise probably I'm just planning stuff that doesn't go planned.

I was going to meetups and LRUG, but in most of them I just found people that talk and don't do, so I decided I stopped going until I roll out something or at least do some customer dev.

Thing is with this approach I won't meet any fellow entrepreneur, too extreme, isn't it? ;)
On a recent trip to San Francisco I've remember seeing adverts for bicycle rentals at 18$ an hour. I think the idea of a disposable 'one week' bicycle for 30$ would be absolutely brilliant and cost effective for tourists.

I wonder if it would create a new kind of trash, though...

And ofcourse, a lot depends a lot on how the cardboard vehicles stack up against their metal equivalents in terms of usability.

Interestingly most posts which recommend using Puppet/Chef depend on Fabric for deployment. Is a mutually exclusive or pure Puppet/Chef approach better in any way?
You're not supposed to have session state - but the resources you are accessing are (of course) stateful. Why not set up your subscriptions explicitly as resources that can be manipulated through the API?
In practice, it is quite hard to lose saves on xboxes (one example I am familiar developing for). The warnings are, I think, just for extra safety, as it is REALLY annoying to lose a save go with 50+ hours.

I lost such a save on Final Fantasy VII about 15 years ago, and it still annoys me to this day.
In the long run, this is actually less than Microsoft gets, of course. The MS patent deal is estimated at $15-25 per device. Last quarter, Samsung produced 50 million smartphones; at the lower rate at that run rate it would take under a year for the MS payment to exceed the speculative Apple one.

Interesting. I suppose English teachers like total textbook responses to texts (things they tell their students to say) or totally outlandish stuff to shake them from monotony. I remember creating essays that were great (at least to me) but not scoring particularly well, I also used to think if the author of a text would be marked on response to that text, they'd fair pretty poorly too. It really is a long time ago. I read things my old English teachers write now in school magazines and they are hardly impressive.

Granted, it'll be a truly dreadful bike, but it'll be OK as basic transport. I don't understand the emphasis on cheapness. Making cheap bikes is a solved problem.

But a bike for $60-90 is not a new idea. They're out there right now.

I very much disagree with your stance on this. I have yet to see a cheap bike that will stand up to more than a few months of daily commuting without various bearings wearing out. Use of non-standard parts makes fixing them uneconomical, as you could quickly buy a decent bike for the replacement value required.

I'd argue that the cheap bike problem is only currently solved in that cheap, good quality, second-hand bikes are available in most markets.

If this bike barely lasts as long, it'll at least have sold the problem of having all these useless lumps of metal lying around once your cheap bike has died.
What's your position on "learn to code" meme?

see http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2012/05/please-dont-learn-t...
I skimmed through the rather extensive write-up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climatic_Research_Unit_email_co... and could find zero evidence to support your claims of a "warmist mafia" conspiring to "spike publication of contrary research".

The only conspiracy I do see in that write-up consists of sensationalist self-proclaimed experts, scientifically illiterate pundits and talking heads providing an illusion of controversy where none exists so that people like you tune in to their message and generate ad revenues and fat bonus pay-checks.

Honestly which do you believe is more likely - a vast global conspiracy of climatologists are swindling the public, people who have to publish models and/or data to support their claims, with all it taking is one honest scientist to expose them as frauds (withholding data as you point out does happen, but this affects the support their claims receive)... or a bunch of charismatic talking heads with zero science education or interest are hyping things up because they know, as an absolute and incontrovertible fact, that doing so generates revenue, votes, etc. from the conspiracy crowd?

I doubt all scientists are honest, but the proportion of scientists that are honest vs. the proportion of talking heads that are honest makes it pretty obvious where to look for a real conspiracy. It takes one scientist to expose a fraud definitively, but no amount of evidence seems to persuade a talking head to shut up as long as there's enough conspiracy theorists paying their salary and their master's profits.
In that scenario getting a PHP environment is ideal. Using this is less than ideal.
A great example of fiction in business writing is "The Richest Man in Babylon". It's focused on principles of personal finance but you could easily construct something similar for start-ups.

How big is the entire universe?
Even if you couldn't live up to it now (which is really in your head ;) you would incrementally but surely improve to the point you can, so do not feel pressured when you write those first pieces. I know you know this, but perhaps it's a good time to be reminded of it :-)
"TRC's are good. They save in long term both the publisher, and the console manifacturer."
This is exactly one reason why developers are looking for greener grasses. Jonathan already said it but developers and console manufactures could economically save a lot if those TRC's/TCR's/Lotchecks would be handled more intelligently. Looking at that "save" message, why isn't there a standard message implemented by the manufacturer developers could use? Then you could just make a checkmark in the TRC docs saying "using default save msg" and everyone would save a little time. If I was a manufacturer I would take care that developing for my platform was economically for developers and me alike.
And I fail to see some of your arguments for TRC's. What does size (hours, gb, dead animals?) have to do with a game being AAA? Some iOS games deliver a greater quality in terms of customer enjoyment than traditional console 'AAA' games.
Furthermore Jonathan was not totally against TRC's but just used examples that make totally sense from a developer perspective.
Being forced to churn through books I didn't enjoy destroyed fiction for me. Also, being forced to analyze things in certain ways also injected displeasure into the experience. I have trouble with fiction now either because I don't find it interesting, I don't need it, I don't trust fiction to inspire me or I don't trust myself to be inspired by it. I'm not sure, I'm not proud of it, but then again I'm not ashamed of it either. People that enjoy fiction have a charm about them, but I have enough of that anyway!

add: I don't watch TV, nor watch films generally unless there's something very special about them. I dream a lot, so that's my entertainment. The real healing component from dreams comes when remembering them part way through the day.. that unlocks their subconscious energy for conscious use.

I can just see it folding just like cardboard if it ever hit something and emergency stopping, especially in the wet, could cause all kinds of painful and expensive problems.

To be fair, if you want to avoid painful and expensive problems on a bike, the only viable option is to not have the accident in the first place. If you hit something at any noticeable speed, you're going to bend your forks, and it's also pretty easy to bend your wheel beyond repair.

If you get into racing bikes, it really doesn't take much for bits to break.

I've ridden mountain bikes with hydraulic brakes, and racing bikes with those tiny blocks. Whilst you definitely stop faster with the former, I didn't have any issues with the racing bike brakes, so I'd imagine that the brakes on these should be fine.
I think I'd hate that, eye movement affects the pov so you wouldn't be able to use a context menu effectively for instance.

Better yet, use virtualenvwrapper and don't worry about cluttering your project folder.
I'm going to disagree with georgespencer -- not with his perfectly reasonable suggestions, but with the premise that it's not worth seeking out a mentor. On the face of it, nobody "needs" a mentor, but the entire idea behind a mentor is face-to-face networking and advice. In addition, you will be borrowing your mentor's bona fides when you're having lunch with connections you've made via your mentor, and this can go a long way. A friend of mine has Gary Reiner for a mentor -- having that kind of horsepower behind your idea is priceless.

Having said all this, your best bet is to network and seek out introductions. You can't come in "cold", but "lukewarm" is okay, as long as there's a personal connection of some kind to your mentor -- whether it's a shared vision or a shared connection.

ETA: clarity.
Ah yes, that makes even more sense! (Although talking about sense in this context doesn't seem appropriate).
