Speaking from experience, there is very little margin in drop-shipping so you need to do a lot of volume. To do a lot of volume you really need to be spending on ppc ads. If you pour your heart into this and do about 1mm in sales a year you can expect to clear 80-120K. Just to warn you, to get to this level it might take 3 or 4 people working fulltime.

Making something and then selling it would be a better bet, but therein lies the rub. Once you buy product you need to house it and eventually ship it.

Errors detected in Open Source projects by the PVS-Studio developers
We regularly check various open-source projects with PVS-Studio and send analysis results to developers and usually describe them in our posts as well. Besides, we add them into our bug database. This database is posted below on this page.

The bugs are grouped according to the number of the diagnostic rule that is used to detect them. This number is given in the left column. Click on it to see the diagnostic rule description in the documentation. The right column contains a link to the corresponding error samples.

Some diagnostics haven't detected any bugs in open-source projects yet. The lower you are in the list, the more diagnostics with no error samples there will be. The reason is simple: the later a certain rule had been added, the fewer projects were analyzed with this rule included into the rule set and therefore the fewer chances for it to demonstrate its capabilities.

The fact that projects were being checked at different times determines one more special thing about the bug database. We have deliberately refused to implement an option to view all the bugs found in a particular project: this might lead to an incorrect impression regarding the number of errors in the project and the analyzer's capabilities. You see, the tool is rapidly developing. While it found 10 bugs in a project one year ago, it doesn't mean at all that it will find the same amount now. Compare, for instance, the reports of ReactOS checks: first report http://www.viva64.com/en/a/0076/ , second report http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0192/ (a year and a half later).

You can offer us other open-source projects for analysis. The project types supported by PVS-Studio are given in the tool description.

This database may serve a unique resource for reflection on coding standards development, concepts of articles on programming rules, and help you in other researches regarding enhancing software reliability. We wish you interesting researches.
Yes, taboo. I suffer a bad case of EuroEnglish.
Likewise. This seems like a wild theory in search of a problem with a lot of back-filling.

Perhaps I misunderstood something.
The problem is this works only with 2 parties that have already agreed to, and are willing to use, encryption. How many websites, services, and other sources of email have an option to encrypt your email to you with your public key? Not many at all.

I've stopped putting my public key on emails I send, because almost no one ever encrypted email to me, unless they were specifically sending something perceived to be sensitive.

We also had a computer engineering dept which mostly consisted of sticking 7400 series TTL chips in breadboards, later VHDL/Verilog. Basically the EE curriculum with more computer topic classes and less analog/RF classes.

And like the rest of the engineering dept there was "real" (aka theoretical) and "technology" (applied) degrees. One of my degrees is a AS in EE-T although I went right into computers for the BSCS (with the idea of getting into embedded using the AS-EET as leverage, which I have never managed to do, LOL)
No, it is good evidence that the price is volatile. The cost to mine follows the price of a Bitcoin with a built in 2 week delay. It's just how it was designed.
Also, Chosen only works with the <option> tags, which can be quite annoying. And to me, the Select2 community seems a lot more active and able to participate in the project.
Not necessarily. A big part of GTY is understanding the complete picture of incentives for all parties. I've found an absolutely terrific way to negotiate car prices is to do all your research ahead of time (including a test drive, if necessary), know your data (like the invoice price) and a fair dealer profit (from car buying forums).

Then enter into the dealership and say "I am ready to do a deal right now for this price, I've done all my research and know exactly what car I want. Here's the price I am going to pay, you know it's fair, I know it's fair, it gives you $1,000 of dealer profit and I want to get this done as fast as humanly possible to get you on to your next sale."

You'd be surprised at how attractive that is for a salesman. If they can make $1,000 in an hour, or make $2,000 over 8 hours of hard sales work, they will choose your deal all day long. Best of all, you get what you want, which is a lower price, and they get what they want, which is to maximize their commissions per hour of their time.
Now, that is fun. Good job.

Yes, he meant if he gives his email out to a website (amazon.com, say) he wants to give them his PGP public key as well so that all correspondence to him will be encrypted through PGP.

Personally, even though I have a BS in Physics, have done research for 4 years, and develop software exclusively with astrophysics experiments at a physics lab (I'm even on the most cited astronomy paper of 2012)... I have a hard time calling myself a physicist, or even an engineer for that matter.

Calling myself a "computerist" or even a "computer scientist" would feel a lot like I'd be furthering the dilution of titles with the inclusion of mediocrity, akin to the "technical support engineer".
Firepad Plugin: WebRTC video collaboration
Strongly suggest looking beyond this if your concern about Angular is that it is returning us to an old approach. Angular, on the contrary, in my experience, is a broadly conceived vision of how to rethink and move browser development significantly forward. I have been waiting for something like this. The key part of that ng-click is that it's an Angular 'directive'. I recommend adding AngularJs to your app to do a simple experiment of writing a few directives of your own; see if that doesn't light a bulb.

Yes, Amazon is PCI-compliant,

https://aws.amazon.com/security/pci-dss-level-1-compliance-f...

This means part of the work is done. Then if the isolated pci-blackbox you are using is also PCI-compliant in how it deals with card data, encryptions, hashes, etc, then what is left is not much, basically mostly documentation, routines in place, etc.

I would say you could probably get down to 1% of the normal work of becoming PCI-compliant by,
a) Getting rid of the whole hardware part of the problem, by using EC2 and free-riding on the work already carried out by Amazon. Just make sure to use Two-Factor Authentication to access your EC2-instance.

b) Use a open sourced PCI-compliant isolated component which only handles the two bare-minimum features it needs to do, which are "encrypt and store card data" and "decrypt card and process payment via PSP".

This is a distinction worth making (informative visualizations vs...well, other ones), but there is a corner case for whom this is a very helpful viz---the newbie playing around with NN's who could use a visual aid beyond clojure's pprint. As a member of said corner case, this would be very helpful to me. All the same, thank you for reminding me of the filter all new viz projects must pass---"does this communicate meaning?"
As far as I can tell, there is no catch, other than they hope you'll produce software for the Windows ecosystem (but there is no penalty if you don't). You'll probably also continue using MS tools afterwards (but this is of course not mandatory either).

As for the requirements, you have to have a company, small enough when entering the program (can outgrow the entry requirements during the three years and still stay in), and it has to produce software (service or packaged).
>Most people who get a BS in computer science (not as a stepping stone to a PHD or whatever, etc) end up on helpdesks, maybe pulling cable or replacing mice...

I'm gonna need to see some evidence to back that up before I believe it. Based on the experiences of everyone I know with a CS degree, that is completely wrong.

Are you confusing CS with CIS?

>maybe $8/hr no benes at a call center but at least more or less in their field.

I made more than $8 an hour at my first retail job. If you have a CS degree and you're making $8 an hour, something is very wrong.
I think the big question is whether normal is $300 or $30... or $3.
Nice, thorough write-up. For people considering Backbone, though, I will say that I've written several non-trivial Backbone apps, and negotiating the form view re-rendering problem is not that difficult and certainly does not require an extra data binding library. Also I've had no problem integrating the Chose plugin into Backbone apps.

Dealing with deeply nested views can still be a bit of a headache, but I prefer the extra control over view rendering that I get with Backbone vs. soem other frameworks (I have no experience with Angular).

I think you took it too far by pandering to wait staff. Their jobs are to wait. I don't think they're below me. I think they should take as much pride in their job as I do in mine, and if they don't care to even try to do well at their job, I'm going to let them know. It's one thing to be rude or obnoxious, but it's another to let them know that their service is not up to snuff.

You say it's bad to treat people "below you" badly, but I think it's even worse to believe anyone's below you, and thus, beyond scrutiny.

The alternative is a slew of loosely-coupled and opaque attributes (IDs and classes), especially where you're not sure if a particular class or ID is used for presentation (CSS) or functionality (JS). How do you handle refactoring when you use some classes for JS and some for CSS?

With custom attributes there is no confusion, and although it goes completely against the separation of concerns and now your mark-up isn't completely declarative -- it's a necessary drawback.
Stop spamming with etherpad posts dude.
If national governments weren't thoroughly corrupted by the vested telecom interests, they would fund local-owned efforts to set their own baselines, allowing profit-driven enterprises to address sub-areas that are profitable within that area to deliver even better access.

The problem is that it's the opposite (at least in the USA) - state and national governments are lobbied by the telecom/cable industry to pass laws prohibiting local initiatives, so local governments have to give massive subsidies or concessions in order to get anything.

I'm not sure this is true. For example, consider the following scenario at $200 USD per bitcoin: 5 people pooled mining capabilities, and mined a single bitcoin. They could then split that, and effectively pocket $40/ea (or 0.20 bitcoins each). If you mine solo, is it possible to mine a partial bitcoin, rather than increments of a whole bitcoin?
This was really fun to be a part of. Meteor.js is pushing a new way of building real time web applications. They're on fire and pulling me back to JavaScript even as I want to experiment with other languages like Go and Rust. They really have a brilliant team, and a growing mind share of really smart people like @eventedmind (who gave a talk about Spark at this) who are focusing on learning and building with meteor.
I think Mendeley had more advantages over Zotero than the social aspect (which I never used). Mendeley could automatically incorporate your folder of orphan PDFs into your library, automatically fetching the bibliographic info. It had a nice dedicated desktop client for searching your library, correctly bib info, and adding notes and whatnot to papers, which just isn't as nice on a browser.

Mendeley was not a direct threat to Elsevier's business. They aren't a publisher. PLoS (and PLoS's model) is more of a direct threat. Fortunately they are a non-profit which I think makes them immune from takeover.
The point is that people are trying to use Kickstarter to eliminate risk in a business venture. If you're good enough o charge $100 for membership for one of your website, do it. Take a risk. Be entrepreneurial. Don't be that guy trying to get other people to provide you back-door seed funding so you can just bolt if it all falls apart with an extra $10k to boot.

From the KS: "Launching a Kickstarter campaign is the best way I can think of to get the word out and see if there's real interest in this. I always try to focus my time and energy on things people want (easier said than done), and this campaign will help me figure that out. So if you want this to exist, cast your vote by pledging!"

I try to be civil and calm here but that is complete and utter bullshit. Kickstarter does not exist so people like this guy can get a few months rent while trying out his latest business venture.
While I would not argue against encryption giving you privacy, I think it is easy to argue that there is an expectation of privacy in sending emails. At least, as much of one as if you were sending actual correspondence.

Consider, in a public restroom there is very little done to prevent people from seeing each other. However, one almost certainly has a reasonable expectation of privacy in such a situation. Hell, consider using the restroom in someone else's house. If you record videos of everyone that uses your restroom...
This confusion has been a major annoyance to me, since I spent several years as a classical systems engineer. To make matters worse, I actually wrote code in those roles (C, Fortran, and Matlab) and was at one point a real-time embedded software engineer in all but title.
It'll happen only when PGP isn't just used by .001% [1] of email users.

It needs some really good integration with an email client somewhere, where addresses are picked up from a public key server and automatically encrypted. I'm picturing an iMessage style thing where as you're typing someones email address, the keyserver is getting pinged and the address turns a different color and a lock icon appears by it. Now all your correspondence with that person is encrypted. PGP purists might not like it ("but you're automatically trusting some random key!! The web of trust, the web of trust!") but it would be a step in the right direction.

My angular story:

My team was at a similar crossroads a few months back when trying to decide which javascript framework to pick for our mobile app. It came down to Backbone, Angular, and CanJS (because we had previously used JavascriptMVC on a project). It really came down to Backbone vs. Angular and we were leaning heavily towards Backbone. We all built demos using each of the three frameworks.

I was the Angular advocate and after having experienced incredible joy creating my demo I was desperate to get the rest of the team on board. After much debate we were leaning towards backbone, until that is, I asked "how would you go about making sure your views are updated and your forms validated". After we walked through the work that would be needed to be done maintaining the view state in real-time on a backbone app, and a few other examples like retrieval of form data or validation of forms, it became clear we'd need to write a lot more DOM manipulation glue-code using Backbone than we would with Angular.

In the end, this was what pushed us over to the Angular side. The focus on testing and the dependency injection throughout was another huge selling point for us. And frankly, it wasn't clear to us how a Backbone app should be structured. In fact, that variability appeared to be one of the main selling points of the framework but it ended up paralyzing us with choice. Being first time Backbone developers we weren't sure we could ever feel confident knowing we were following best practices.

This can't be true can it? Surely an admin/dev has access to the crypto procedures and the key has to exist somewhere, right? At some point the key has to meet the encrypted data and if they are sending ACH or other payments, surely the "inaccessible to employees" data has to be decrypted and sent, right?
