I think http://www.banghowdy.com/ is great example of making turn based game fun to play online.

I also had lots of fun playing http://www.kongregate.com/games/Kongregate/kongai that is also turn based and example of great game design.
Yes, but that they needed to was my comment. Personally, even as a mobile developer, customizing my phone is not my hobby. I'd prefer a new foreign car that has certain limitations to a used Jeep that I can extend in any way I want.
To be frank I've never seen someone do an out of state LLC, it seems like the choices tend to be Delaware (or Nevada) C-corp, or local LLC/S-Corp.

Maybe I'll look into it next time it comes up.

Cheers.
I guess android works pretty slick if all you do is stream from the cloud. But, if you want to sync music with the phone it's a disaster. The Google-supported way is for me to put MP3s in a folder? Really? And some of the android phones (like the flagship nexus 4) don't support transfer via USB? Really? I have to do it via slow-ass WiFi and a third-party program like doubletwist? Total disaster.
The last New Scientist had an article on this. The primary unknown/concern was structurally destabilizing the seabed by extracting the methane. They were talking about replacing it with CO2 to keep the seabed stable, but said that was really only an idea and just extracting it was safe, you know, until the massive tsunami they cause kills 100,000 people <morbid joke/>
What's interesting to me here is that I don't see anything but the "Android" brand being mentioned. Several people on this thread mention having several Android phones, but not several "Samsung" phones, for example. This, despite the fact that Samsung seems like the only manufacturer "killing it" with the Android OS.

This seems like a Google win and a Samsung loss.

I have a bad feeling this G+ post is about to be ripped apart as badly as the initial wiki debacle.

I wonder when people will realize, though, that as Canonical tries to justify itself on technical merits and having to backpedal every time, their answer of "we want to control it so we can move it and change it as we want to without having to wait for consensus or forking" is not good, but legitimate.
You're looking at things from the viewpoint of society. There your argument makes sense -- of course "people" will continue to work. But that argument, that we'll just continue to work on things higher up Maslow's hierarchy, doesn't hold for individuals who don't hold an ownership stake in these technological advances. Robot Mega Corp and it's owners have no need for your grandmother's scarf, so what is she going to provide in trade for her more basic needs? Not having a job could be a real problem for her.

Incidentally, minimums, where earnings less than $X are increased to $X, are terrible and break incentives near the minimum. Much better are base incomes, guaranteed uniformly to even the wealthy.
The exercise did not use Russia as a possible origin for the Red Force, it was an unknown adversary from the Middle East. Therefore, you could have different assumptions about the rules of engagement, responses, and enemy resources. From what I understand of the exercise, it was to simulate going to war with an adversary that would fight differently because of the lack of modern military resources and hardware. I wouldn't categorize Russia in that way.
Oh, sounds great! In that case, maybe you should consider saying so explicitly in your homepage. I read about YC so recognized some names, but my takeaway conclusion wasn't as strong as "most YC companies use this, good enough".
This is pretty similar (even we start with the same two commands) to what I typically do in my checklist :-)

Probably not your core market, but I love the platform aspect of this. The notion of a stim pack for the lawyer-client relationship can work in a lot of other areas.
Though if there is a well defined and stable driver ABI compatibility shouldn't really be a problem.
I see so many cool visualizations built with D3.js these days. All the libraries I used to build visualizations in the past were very limited and using them involved many tradeoffs, but D3.js seems just about limitless in what it can do. I can't wait to be able to give it a try. Too bad my company standardized on visualization toolkits some time before D3.js became a viable option.

Using icons in a navbar instead of labels tends to make it harder to use, not easier.

Look at the example this article uses. It shows a house without a door, a calculator, a multi-story building and a shopping cart.

The house usually means 'Home', 'Exit', or 'Location'. The shopping cart usually means 'Purchase', 'Cart' or 'Checkout'. Those are fairly clear. But then, why would you use a calculator for 'Contact'? And how is the multi-story building different from the house?

More often than not, when I visit a website that uses symbols in its navbar instead of text, I need to mouseover to find out what the heck the buttons are for.

When symbols are used in tandem with text links, I do find it often makes navbars easier to use, but to replace the text links altogether, the symbols need to be completely unambiguous – and that's hard to accomplish if your navbar consists of multiple similar links like 'order', 'checkout', 'cart', 'currency', 'shipping', etc.
The entire exchange reads like disgruntled co-workers doing nothing but accusing and blaming each-other, and Mark's comments may be needlessly volatile however it's not misdirected.

It's a shining example of office politics spilling over to the open-source community.
The price of RAM is not the only (or main) barrier to getting more memory. My previous work desktop had 2GB of RAM. Getting it upgraded (from 1GB) took three months (after the upgrade had been approved by the budget holder).

I was fortunate to get a new work PC recently which has 4GB of RAM. Getting it upgraded (even if I bought the memory myself) would likely take another three months of requests and I suspect would be limited to a maximum of 8GB anyway.
I honestly believe that many decades from now, 20 to 50 years, at least one industrialized country will have something like a Basic income guarantee.

It happened to Rome. When all of their work was done by slaves, the free Romans got bread and circuses on the government's dime.

I think we will reach a point where unemployment will just grow despite a growing economy. And it will steadily grow for months, then years, and over the years we'll go through a long and painful political process which I think will eventually result in a a Basic income guarantee.

At that point a staggering percentage of our economy will be 100% automated.
That sounds like the worst possible book to read in a classroom! I can barely imagine how furious Pirsig would be if he were pondering that happening.

I loved the book, for the record.

I believe technologists continue to make the mistake of assuming everything is digital. Perhaps it's a part of the job.

"comparative advantage depends on scarcity of productive agents"

People buy things (trade) based on perceived value. That perception can be based on perceived scarcity, sentiment, anger, fear, love, happiness -- the list is very long. The scarcity argument only holds true across large industries and populations, and that's only because of the fungibility of money and the fact that material goods are (rather) easily categorized. It's not going to continue working. Money will stay fungible, but we're going to see an explosion in the kinds of things that have perceived value that the world has never seen.

Which makes sense if you think about it: as mankind has progressed, the diversity of the things he trades has increased. This trend will continue.

You guys are confusing theory and reality. Macro-economics fails us here. That's a shame. Looks like some folks have more work to do :)
They probably bought it, but it's Google who brought Android to the state it is today.

Just look how Android was when the G1 launched - and that's 2 years after Google acquired them.
Twitter? Their web-app is awesome. I don't use the other examples you mentioned, so I wouldn't know, but I don't see what a native Twitter app would give me.

For me, having Twitter as something other than a web page seems completely backwards, since the main thing I do on Twitter is scroll, and click links. That open in a browser.
This is where you are precisely wrong. A VC wants to cash out within 3 years.

I think we may have different definitions of "short term". When I say short term I mean that you are in the process of proving a concept as viable and at the point that pivots are not very costly. If you've reach 1% penetration in a large market then you are past this point.

1% is an excellent number in this context.

I would definitely agree that it is a good target to hit. I'm just saying that it should not be your golden standard. There is a difference between saying "this is how we plan on securing a foothold in the market", and saying "If we can get only 1% of the market then we will be successful."

The comical term for this is Scientific Wild-Ass Guess

I completely agree. Thats why i actually disagree with stating a target marketshare in a pitch. Personally I think that stating total market size, an underserved aspect of that market/competitive advantage and how you plan to try and break into that market should be enough. I don't think making wild guesses at market share is really worth while at all.
Considering every component provided by AngularBootstrap is tested, I think what you're saying is false.

Can you show us how they're wrong?
Agreed, local syncing is indeed unfortunate, but not sure how else it could be better unless Google builds an iTunes-esque desktop client, which is never going to happen. However, once I started using Google Music, I never looked back.
The attacker punches you in the face, hard, until you give them the ring or until you are weak enough for them to take the ring from you.

Since people have been kidnapped and forced to enter their ATM PIN to withdraw the maximum (often kidnapped near midnight so the gang can make two maximum withdrawals) this violent scenario isn't particularly farfetched. It depends what the ring gives access to.
That's what I often do, however it is clear that most of this tasks can be done automatically, so there should be somebody doing a 'linux-doctor' open source project that will try to identify issues automatically. Assuming it does not exist, but I never saw it before.
T-Mobile is supposedly coming out with new plans at the end of the month. If you have a family plan, $80 a month will get you a postpaid plan with unlimited minutes and texts with 500mb of data per person (2 phones). 2GB overage is $10 a month or add unlimited data for $20 a month. Hard to beat on a family plan.

Also as a contact free postpaid plan you get roaming (most prepaid plans like the current t-mobile $30 one do not include roaming).

Also, unlike what this blog post claims, this is not an android feature, not sure why they throw that out there as an Android+. You can get an iPhone on t-mobile's $30 a month plan too...
It's a great analogy!

However, I would argue that one can be as productive working at home as working at the office, sometimes even be more productive.

Little things that I can do at home that I can't do at the office (ie. Nap) help to focus better. It just a personal experience but it might be true for other people as well.
I hate to have to agree, but I (mostly) do. Trying to start a business under 2 months' of financial availability is indeed going to put a strain on things.

I don't think, however, that a 9-5 is necessarily the answer. I do think that a freelance consulting gig might be a better option - it would allow OP to get the environment he wants "booted up" ie working by himself, getting into the groove of his schedule, etc. And while it might leave fewer hours per week to work on the bootstrapped business (initially), it will give some flexibility needed and get the $$ flowing again to ease the pressure.

Either way - I love hearing about people taking their destiny into their own hands and going for it -- so good luck OP!

Why exploiting CSS3 when SVG will do?
They look like crap (not only the color, but also the jagged edges), the performance is also crap... I don't know, sometimes I think these hipster web devs are getting too much attention nowadays for things that aren't that complicated or innovative in comparison to, say, many things c++ programmers face on daily basis.
That's not really a Thai character, right? It's way too many bytes! It must be an intentional repetition of stacking diacritics. Some of the ones in that Google result page are 21 bytes.
Yeah yeah, everyone should know about the perils of "Mystery Meat Navigation" from the 1996 book "Web Pages That Suck."

I'm sure that the icons were being used only as demonstration here, and that no one would actually do such a thing in this day and age.
Just a friendly FYI - I got an alert from Security Essentials from this site; JS.Blacole/KH . I'm not sure if that's just an over-active virus screen or what...

It's well known that Canonical likes to do things their way and maybe suffers from a slight NIH syndrome. But do people have to be so upset about it? Maybe Rogers explanation is completely wrong and the real reason is "we thought it would be fun to write a new display server!" Does it matter? Saying "you're increasing desktop fragmentation" is silly and implies that writing Mir is somehow worse than writing no code at all.

Graphics on desktop Linux currently kind of sucks. Windows and OS X are years ahead while we are stuck on X11 with flakey, sometimes-working, compiz-quality 3d effects. I think any effort to remedy that situation should be cherised.
i recently re-installed ES File Explorer and was floored with how much work went into it! i've used it years ago so i could see the difference. it is now also an app manager, ftp client, bluetooth/network explorer.. and it's FREE! i'm also not seeing any ads. how can they afford to put so much work into this app?

They don't seem to be reachable from the main page any more but My Name is Daniel and I am a Genre Addict [1] and Evolutionary Design [2] are two older Lost Garden essays very much worth reading. Especially the first one since it offers both possible psychological insight into how gaming was shaped into what it is today and a good direction for a small game developer to explore (i.e., business advice).

Bad performance and support only for IE10+ will put these out of consideration for many. I think the real world appeal of these will be limited to say the least.
yes, how hard can it be to do a proper battery, look at the xperia z.
Also, font symbols generally have a much smaller file size than SVGs.
The Wikipedia article doesn't really communicate what happened very well IMHO. This experiment was never designed to examine the combat capabilities of the US Navy. It was designed to test concepts related to a new concept called Net-centric warfare. It was a new concept to handle information and the sharing of information. In order to test this concept under different conditions, things had to be scripted so that those conditions would occur and the information dissemination concept could be examined. What this Van Riper did is similar to helping somebody practice football kick returns, but instead of helping, just repeatedly running regular offensive formations.

I'm not necessarily saying Riper was wrong, but I just wanted to point out that the motivation for the reset runs deeper than "the games were designed to let blue win".
When you read a newspaper (a thing of the past) you read headlines. If a headline catches your eye, you read the heading/intro, if you're still curious you read the article.
Twitter has allowed to converge all the headlines that might interest you into a single real time inbox, not only from newspapers but from whoever or whatever you're interested in. If there is more depth than a simple headline, there will usually be link to an article/video/photo/etc where you can dig into more info about that headline. It's the revolution of "NEWS" and everyone can broadcast or share/refer what they think it's "interesting".
I can understand your point, but too often this sounds like an extremely weak excuse: "So iPhone doesn't have this feature? Good! I didn't want it anyway!".

I personally see having more options and choices as a great thing even when I don't personally need those options.

Even if I think the default android keyboard is the greatest touchscreen keyboard in existence, I still think it should be possible and easy to use another keyboard app instead.
I see no indication their radar was that low-tech. From what I read it seemed more a success of human intel and capability versus any technology. The thing is with planes, if you can see it then you can likely shoot it down.

IDEs are an odd thing thou, some people can't stand my favourite VS1012+R#. I sort of understand why, I am willing to pay the price for the 2GB of RAM it just swallows, I have an SSD so it isn't dog slow to load.

Which is why whenever I see the XCode vs Eclipse talk I'm left with the gut wrenching feeling of hating them both.

Sure. I was questioning the assumption that a diverse workforce is better than a non-diverse workforce. It's not clear to me that you can actually do better through pursuing diversity than you can through simply being willing to interview and hire whoever is best for the jobs. Now, not setting up unintentional barriers to hiring women, as you discuss, is sort of a prerequisite for that.
ah, thank you for the correction.

Good as an experiment, but I honestly wouldn't use any of these backgrounds.
I agree pretty completely but Twitter does an awful job of "notifying" you of things on their web app, or on their website even. There are days that I'll be on Twitter.com throughout the day and not notice mentions, replies etc until I look at my phone on the way home and see the app's notifications.
Well there's your problem. Use Intellij IDEA. It makes every other IDE you may have used look like garbage.

Also, the ADT bundle that Google now has works way better than downloading Eclipse and installing the plugin.

Although, I agree with you, I think Xcode works quite well. But, there are improvements that could be made...

I guess the US (or at least Boston) has nothing like "Mietwagen mit Fahrer" [1] (German for "rental car with driver", usually called "Funkmietwagen", something like "radio called rental car") as that seems pretty much what Uber is doing here?

We have Taxis that are official and thus are allowed to drive on special roads, can wait for customers in public places and have a big Taxi sign. They are usually more expensive.

The "Funkmietwagen" are only allowed to drive where everyone else is allowed to drive, they can't wait for customers and can only be called by calling their central number and they don't have the sign. As they are less regulated and don't have to pay for being a taxi, they are usually cheaper.

The only major requirement for Funkmietwagen is the "Führerschein zur Fahrgastbeförderung" [2] (license for transporting passengers).
