Great article on the topic by Amit Varma.

One of the most impressing thing about USA is that they have true freedom of speech and majority of people defend it furiously. I can't help but think but this is one of the major factor America is one of the leading nations in the world.
Yea that's interesting. Would be interesting to see how this scales when you start including more complex components.

I would like to know services, products, web or mobile you would be willing to pay a $20/m subscription.

Here's what Apple wrote -- somehow I'm guessing this isn't what the court had in mind.

From http://www.apple.com/uk/legal-judgement/:

Samsung / Apple UK judgment

On 9th July 2012 the High Court of Justice of England and Wales ruled that Samsung Electronic (UK) Limited’s Galaxy Tablet Computer, namely the Galaxy Tab 10.1, Tab 8.9 and Tab 7.7 do not infringe Apple’s registered design No. 0000181607-0001. A copy of the full judgment of the High court is available on the following link www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Patents/2012/1882.html.

In the ruling, the judge made several important points comparing the designs of the Apple and Samsung products:

"The extreme simplicity of the Apple design is striking. Overall it has undecorated flat surfaces with a plate of glass on the front all the way out to a very thin rim and a blank back. There is a crisp edge around the rim and a combination of curves, both at the corners and the sides. The design looks like an object the informed user would want to pick up and hold. It is an understated, smooth and simple product. It is a cool design."

"The informed user's overall impression of each of the Samsung Galaxy Tablets is the following. From the front they belong to the family which includes the Apple design; but the Samsung products are very thin, almost insubstantial members of that family with unusual details on the back. They do not have the same understated and extreme simplicity which is possessed by the Apple design. They are not as cool."

That Judgment has effect throughout the European Union and was upheld by the Court of Appeal on 18 October 2012. A copy of the Court of Appeal’s judgment is available on the following link www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWCA/Civ/2012/1339.html. There is no injunction in respect of the registered design in force anywhere in Europe.

However, in a case tried in Germany regarding the same patent, the court found that Samsung engaged in unfair competition by copying the iPad design. A U.S. jury also found Samsung guilty of infringing on Apple's design and utility patents, awarding over one billion U.S. dollars in damages to Apple Inc. So while the U.K. court did not find Samsung guilty of infringement, other courts have recognized that in the course of creating its Galaxy tablet, Samsung willfully copied Apple's far more popular iPad.

Bad times, sorry to hear the news guys. I'd love to know more about why you've decided to take this path if you can share?
Check out spork - https://github.com/sporkrb/spork. It keeps your rails code running so that you can run tests fast. Great for development, saved me 11 seconds every time I ran rspec.
Housecleaning!
I don't know if it's possible to disrupt this industry right now, but there are a lot of middlemen there. Although I know that people who actually do the cleaning would agree to get $50 directly for cleaning 1br apartment once a month.
You will never know for sure until you have version 0.1 ready and some early adapters give you their feedback...

The real question is: are gamers a paying customer for such a product? IMHO: no !
Nice design, but not sure about the concept: this doesn't calculate what you're worth or advise whether the figures you're stating are realistic; it just does what you could do in 10 seconds in excel. My test-self is worth infinity per hour just for being really lazy; not wanting to work any hours a week, take 52 weeks a year off, and earn a fortune for it.
This could be improved by including the market rate which you dismissed to give an idea of how realistic this is, or by suggesting jobs and relevant qualifications/experience required to get to where you want to be.
I know that there are several open hardware projects (Opencores for instance). But I consider _true_ open hardware as hardware were we always will have _full_ control over _every_ tiny detail of the system.

The TTL level is the right foundation for that. If we could go down to the NMOS level or so for 3D printing, that would be even better. We'll see what the future shows.

For the issue of patent wrangling, which is very much a gray area, yes, I do think monetary fines are the most appropriate.

The court cannot make Apple be sincere in an apology if Apple believes they are in the right. Just the same way Sally's Mother cannot make little Jimmy sincerely apologize for tattling on her daughter when she copied his homework, especially after the teacher already praised him for bringing it to her attention.
A lot of the posts that are saying something like "The judge didn't say that they couldn't do it like this!" are deliberately missing the point. In the UK, you are expected to comply with the spirit of such a court order, not just the letter of it. Try and pay a court fine with bins full of loose change and see what happens.

It's entirely possible to be punished for contempt of court to a much greater extent than the lesser offence. Deliberately choosing to behave in a childish manner and annoy a judge is a dangerous game to play and can be self-defeating. Apple's lawyers should have known this and should have advised them against it. It would have cost them nothing to comply with the ruling properly in the first place; they are now cutting their nose off to spite their face.
I keep wishing for this magical language to manifest, like a C++ compatible Boo. I only wish I were capable of building one myself.

The judge could be taking quite a bit of heat from Samsung… Surely Apple's lawyer division (and it must be a division by now) went through that judgment with a fine tooth comb before posting the statement.

I wonder if the judge could have added a clause requiring Apple to submit the statement to him for review first.
i love the simplicity of this, but it's almost too simple. this doesn't take into account things like experience or skillset which I have found to be key indicators for hourly rates. it's also unrealistic in that many freelancers have gaps in work and dont work all the hours they want in a given period (something we are trying to fix!).

as i've been getting top freelance devs on matchist, i've seen hourly rates range from $50/hr to $200/hr with the biggest indicators of higher rates being: self perceived value, years freelancing, and self perceived expertise of skillset.

we've made the conscious decision not to charge devs by hourly rate, but rather project milestone values.

Gentle plug: the site we're building, http://matchist.com is curated matching of projects for top freelance devs.
I'm amazed at the video generation and projection technology that was available to NASA in the late 60s. That's pretty powerful stuff when color broadcast TV was still in its infancy and computer graphics were barely even heard of.
Congrats on the job. If it helps, from what I've seen at a lot of higher levels of companies and organizations, no one really knows what they're doing. You're probably also suffering from the Dunning-Kruger effect [1] and are doing better than you think you are.

A tutorial series or magazine subscription targeted at programmers wanting to learn more design skills.
My solution to this problem is to cultivate habits.

For example, I write or edit 500 words a day. That's enough to output more than 3.65 the size of a 50K words novel every year if one only write new words. However, with editing, it's more like a well crafted 50K words novel. (I don't write novels, just non-fiction essays, on a variety of subjects)

Another habit I built is to self quantify myself in various dimension such as sleep/awake time, weight, steps, blood pressure, pulse rate, and blood sugar everyday. The result is almost 70 days worth of data. Every 21 days, I add new data points to measure. Next will probably involves sleep quality rating. I used the self quantification habit to keep tab on my health and conduct scientific experiment.

I also learn using anki, a spaced repetition software, helping me remembering anything from programming facts to the multiplication table to spelling errors I made. I used khanacademy to review my mathematical knowledge, because it have a spaced repetition system built into it.

I also used khanacademy to learn math(73% complete already!), but that's a medium-long term project that will get finished eventually. Reviewing math, on the other hand, is what you do for life, at least until the math becomes so deeply ingrained into your mind that you don't need to study them anymore.

My rule for adding habits is to wait every 21 days before adding new ones. It's also important to make sure you don't have too many habits to maintain, as they impose a cognitive burden. If you can reduce them to code or programs, do it.

Another thing to remember is that habit formation really depend on the habits and the person. Some people forms habits better than others, while some habits are easier to do. The rule of thumb is that the easier the task, the easier to form habit. For example, doing situps doing commercial breaks on television is much harder than drinking a glass of milk everyday. So, 21 days isn't a magical day when your effort to do something everyday becomes a habit. It's just a nice round number to use so that you won't be overwhelmed trying to add several new habits in a really short period of time.

* Digital concierge health care. No crap booking an appointment with a GP two weeks from now to ask him about something that could be nothing.

* A full-program fitness regimen with tailored diet/nutrition/recipes and work-out regimens. I keep keep them up-to-date on the progress using my wirelessly synching Withings weight.

* Great, fresh fruit and vegetables sent to me every one or two weeks.

* Maybe a service where I can text legal questions (with a quota) to someone who can answer them - or find someone who does - for me.

* A decent internet connection where I can talk to support staff who can actually tell their ass from their elbow.

* Not for me, but I think there is a great business plan lying around for the person who has a big backlog of recipes. Recipes As a Service could be pretty interesting where all recipes and information are in the cloud.

* A gym that actually cares about my activity and commitment. Normally, the ideal customer to gyms is the January guy whose new year's resolution is never going to happen. A gym that actually nudges you and cares about your activity would be interesting. They can send me a poke, if I haven't visited the gym in a while, or if my weight hasn't changed for the better. Since a lot of this can be automated, it might not even take that much effort.

This is probably exactly the wrong way to think about your rate, as it hinges on "how much you want to make every month"; in other words, it's a cost-based price.

Your rate is set by the market, not by your "reasonable" desired salary is.

In case you're wondering at this point: I think you should be charging more than this tool says you should. And, obviously, I don't think you should be billing people by the hour at all.
