These entrepreneurs are great, but they all look like they do web stuff only.

The only thing I think about when I see this is: "The facebooks are great, but what about the Maersks"

Kudos to you creating something, but maybe the title is a bit too ambitious. The fact that you are 17 and have done this is commendable, but I strongly recommend that you reach out and try to get exposure to the entrepreneurs who build physical product innovations.

Best of luck champ.
Why did you remove the domain? It's super useful to see the domain the article is on because it gives a little more information about what the link might be.
Hmmm, let's see.

Services of a home inspector, who will diligently inspect all visible areas of a home and give you a pretty good idea of almost all foreseeable problems with a house, output being a binder filled with inspection notes and possible problems: $500.

Services of a real estate agent, who will drive you to houses and unlock the door for you: 6% of transaction cost, equalling about $30,000 for an average purchase in my area.

Yeah, the current theme I’m using along with Tomorrow-Night color scheme. Definitely the best minimalistic theme there is for Sublime Text.

Why it doesn’t appear in Package Control packages list, I cannot say. I think it was before.
It really depends on who your target market is.. but I can see the pros of this article.
This is something I had in mind since starting. It was always a paid model. And then inside the app, they pretended as if it was single person running it all.

Even description was deceptive: "I pick one app, contact developers and try to make it free for a day" (Don't remember exactly)

There's no reason for anyone to get angry about this. Apple has removed even App Shopper app (which was a genuine one), removing this paid app promotion app was a no brainer.

I'm glad this has gotten the attention it deserves; I purchased the beta when embarking on my first Django project, and it was a bit over my head at the time. Now, however, 2SoD fills the important role of an up-to-date best practices guide, which I find is often hard to compile in largish community projects with fragmented documentation.

Not that the official docs aren't good, because they are; the 2SoD authors just get to be a little more narrow and opinionated.
Semantics. An assembler parses a human-readable representation and emits an executable one. That's a "compiler" in most contexts, and certainly there have been many things called "compilers" that translate simpler things than general purpose assembly code.

Obviously the distinction being made is that "assemblers", even in the days of 8 bit CPUs (and earlier!) have always been able to translate at or near the speed of the I/O required to read the data. So there's an intuition that says they're "instantly fast" and thus deserve their own name.
Yes, uhmm, no (I actually answered truthfully". "Because I can" seems to be pretty deeply ingrained in the hacker ethos of "analyzing, understanding, controlling" systems. Technically I'm the reason for my old schools digital policy. I couldn't find the student drives on the school computers, I looked for network drives, and somehow the teacher/admin drives showed up. I did report that in truely whitehat fashion, but if someone asked me why i was snooping around there, I could have given them the long answer "I was looking around here, and curious to see whether this and that worked", or just "Because I could". So "I was curious whether I could muddy up the data of the poll, and whether there'd be consequences or not" becomes "I broke things because I could"
You guys rock, really.
Too many people rely on MtGox for the price of BTC and obtaining BTC. So when they have a 10 second lag on orders people go crazy and start to dump. Which in turn snowballs down to the rest of the economy because they are locked on MtGox priced BTC'
I wish the best of luck to Rackspace.

As an independent Android developer, I live with the slight fear that one day I'm going to eventually be hit with one of these absurd patent lawsuits. I only program for Android as a hobby aside from my day job as a web programmer. What can an independent/hobbyist developer like myself do when we are eventually challenged with something we can by no means defend ourselves against without loads of money? Reform is needed, soon.
junk polls get junk answers.
I won't admit to being an expert, but public policy is a balancing act that doesn't seem to be keeping pace with the residential and business demographic shifts. Giuliani did an impecable job at it in New York, but its hard to see how his plans could be applied in such a different city and context.
Thank you very much for the feedback! My plan is to add more entrepreneurs to the book in the future, and I will definitely try to add people who have created physical products.

I assume there is deep research on this factoid from the non-realtor community, because then the right thing to do is use the MLS API to be first and submit a lowball offer with a one-day fuse.

But I gotta tell you: It sounds like the standard realtor spiel, and it works on people with little experience in buying/selling things with large asset values (like companies or houses).
I'm also a RS customer but how do you see this as "integrity" as opposed to a regular business decision done with the intent to prevent future problems?

Is there anything like ARIS for the Android?
For the past few days, I've pestered a number of people about location-based game platforms. ARIS was named by a few sources as a great option, except I don't have an iPhone, and it doesn't appear that ARIS runs on an Android.

Is there a similar platform out there (or in development) that has a broader reach?

Our Chef-based stack(s) are open source and hosted on github. We are thinking of packaging them in a form that is convenient to run in a local Vagrant box or something of that sort, so that you can easily test your app without wrecking your production environment first.
Some do, I know at least http://pragprog.com/

A hack to parse and add to existing ebooks would be quite handy, though.
Nah. It's bad. Here's a simple argument that covers just one part of the bill.

CISPA would give a safe harbor from other privacy rules to companies that share information with the government as long as that information is about "cyber threats". Now, let's say someone breaks into your database server and you're at a company with not-too-skilled IT people. The government shows up and says "hey, what can you tell us about the attack you experienced? PS - we'd be happy to analyze your data for you."

What do your IT people do? They say "screw it, we'll just send in all the logs we have and let the feds figure it out." And so they do that.

What if the law protects the information in those logs? What if the information is sensitive (like health or financial information) and is protected under a special privacy regime like HIPAA? Or what if the information is protected from disclosure by contract (like in a TOS/TOU document)? CISPA says that the disclosure is exempt from whatever sanctions/punishments would happen under those protection regimes because Cyber Threats Are Important (tm).

Disclosure: I am not a lawyer. Even after it's passed into law, only a court can decide exactly what the safe harbor in CISPA means.
Of course a lot of hashed passwords have been hacked not because of rainbow tables, but by brute force because the site used a single round of a fast hash function.

They think they are good with a 4-byte salt and one round of sha-1, since that is effectively immune to rainbow-table attacks, but its' not immune to "I have a massively powerful processor in my computer called a 'video card'"
Yes, the article was too pessimistic. The cool thing about IEEE fp is that it does have rules, and implementations on the usual platforms follow them very well. (I know, there are exceptions.)

I was in a cab of someone that has lived in SF for 30+ years and he said that's how the TL got like that. People got displaced fromt their respective neighborhoods and all ended up there.

That area is prime real estate though. It's crazy to think that it's adjacent to down town.
"Finding Yourself" is a Waste of Time
It's incredible to me that people think San Francisco is all that dense or rapidly developing. It has half the people of Manhattan in twice the area yet still rents between the two cities are approaching parity. Much of the city is a glorified suburb and needs to be razed and developed into proper civilization as quickly as they can work the bulldozers.

it is fairly simple, the one with more money will win the trail, so the company with deeper pockets is the _real_ owner of the copyright
Appbuzzer (http://www.appbuzzer.com) has a similar business model, but it's IMO a much more sane and friendly approach to that, and AFAIK way cheaper.

Yeah, because AWS = instant scaling.

This sort of operation needs physical hardware in their own secure location. This isn't some mobile social webapp.
This is hot. However, the "Log in and post" button is inactive out for me. Shouldn't that immediately launch a login/register interface? Otherwise, I have to drag my mouse all the way over to the "log in" link.

"Why more density? What will that accomplish?"

The general idea is that more housing supply should drive the cost of housing down.
The basic issue around CISPA is that it puts the power to share info in the hands of the tech companies. They like it because the government cannot compel actions--unlike the Senate bill last year.

Tech companies trust themselves to only share the critical info needed for better security, so they do not see a risk in CISPA.

Citizen groups do not trust tech companies or the government, so they see risk in any legislation that seems to reduce oversight of info sharing between them.
There is a one-to-one map between a mnemonic plus its operands and the resulting opcode, which is the relevant criteria. The use of macros doesn’t change this (though the use of pseudo-instructions can, if they force islands to be created for constants or jump tables).

The issue is the SROs, which are legally protected as housing for the semi-homeless/insane.

I don't think there's an inherent right/need for people to live in a specific area of the city. I'd far prefer to see the land used for market-rate developments and then some of the profits taken as fees to fund programs to de-fuck these people somewhere else.

I'll definitely be buying this one as well. Looks like a solid list of entrepreneurs.
I've read a lot of the comments here and thought I would chime in as a current H1B holder. I have two degrees, and received many concrete offers before moving to the U.S. However, I still found the process incredibly difficult. I have lived in many countries around the world, but this has been the least tolerant of highly skilled migrants.

Am I underpaid? No, I am paid market rate. Is there a demand for my skills? An emphatic yes. Do I feel the visa system is broken? Hell yes.

It is not desirable to live in the U.S on an H1B. My wife, is not allowed to work here, despite being qualified and experienced. This broken rule alone is making us consider leaving. Will the void be filled by a U.S citizen? Unlikely - demand is far exceeding supply here.

Contrast this with competitors to the U.S (European countries, Australia etc), where immigration policy is far more accepting of highly skilled migrants. There, I did not even have to be married for my partner of 7 years to work. I was given tax breaks, as I would likely not see the benefits of a percentage of the tax I contributed.

My advice to any highly skilled foreigner considering moving here with the current immigration policy would be - don't. Move to Europe, Australia, Canada or New Zealand instead (just picking countries I am familiar with there).

I know many stories like these. When I ask companies "Do you generate revenue via social media? Facebook, Twitter, G+ or anything?" the answer is always no. I would love to know about counterexamples if there are any.
The categories aren't the same across the polls, though.
Right, a lot of the issue is that SOPA/PIPA (and before that, PATRIOT, NDAA, etc) have poisoned the water between ~the users of the Internet and ~the Government.
MtGox has become something of a speculative trading platform. While direct exchange (cash in, cash out) will always be necessary (unless you are paid in Bitcoins and live off of Bitcoins), I don't think MtGox is mostly being used that way. Rather, MtGox is becoming synonymous with Bitcoins for traders, and people want to use it like a bank (with all the problems that entails, and Bitcoin was partially hoped to relieve). As such, Bitcoin is only as reliable as MtGox. If People's main interaction with MtGox was buying Bitcoins for use on real goods and services, then I would agree that it is just another exchange, but people aren't using it like that. People buy BTC with USD one day, and buy CAD with BTC the next, with every intention of going back through the exchange and the Bitcoin currency again in order to cash out. MtGox has an API, and in fact, you are right, that is precisely what a ForEx is used for... I'm not knocking it, only pointing out that many of the problems people want Bitcoin to solve are being recreated by re-imposing conventional institutional roles. As long as there is more than one currency, people will need to exchange them. Who am I to say Bitcoin "shouldn't" have a trading platform other than to note that, IMHO, anyone who uses MtGox speculatively is relying on it's centralization, with all that that entails. I think it's ultimately just a matter of scale.
I wouldn't call the Richmond suburban. Given better transit on Geary, which has been planned for something like 50 years, the area could support a lot more housing. Similar areas in Brooklyn are being Zoned for 15 story buildings. I don't see why Geary couldn't be zoned similarly.
Designing for Horizontal Swipe
> I am considering joining Team Treehouse (http://teamtreehouse.com) and I saw they offer RoR tutorials. I was wondering if the language is still useful to learn in 2013? This may be a dumb question, but I have heard "bad" things about the language from people.

Ruby on Rails isn't a language, its a framework. Ruby the language and Rails the framework are both still relevant in web application development (and, Ruby, somewhat beyond that domain), though there are also plenty of other options, both for languages and frameworks.
You're using layout to cover up the fact that you're not testing the most important line in that function.

Error handling should be the FIRST thing you test.
A 9-year (1979–88) review of fatal dog attacks in the United States determined that, of the 101 attacks in which breed was recorded, pit bulls were implicated in 42 of those attacks (42%).[24] A 1991 study found that 94% of attacks on children by pit bulls were unprovoked, compared to 43% for other breeds.[25] A 5-year (1989–94) review of fatal dog attacks in the U.S. determined that pit bulls and pit bull mixed breeds were implicated in 24 (29%) of the 84 deaths in which breed was recorded.[26]

A review of the medical literature found that pit bulls and pit bull cross-breeds were involved in 42–45% of dog attacks.[31] Fatalities were most often reported when children were attacked, with 70% of victims being under the age of 10.[31]

Yes. It's annoying. Asus has a 13-inch 1080p Windows 7 laptop and everything so tiny that it is basically unusable out of the box.

Android does not have this problem since devs always use dp (density independent pixel) as units of measurement and OEMs choose good DPI values when they are releasing devices.

Although less gracefully, iOS solves this problem too (by doubling the resolution and scaling everything by two).
It is a strange side effect that people will value something much more if its on 'sale'.

IANAY (I am not a yank) but didn't JC Penny backtrack on their idea to stop having promotions, but constant low price?

websites like hotukdeals constantly show how people will buy pointless things they never wanted, because they are 'cheap', then moan when their order isn't fulfilled, about not been able to get the thing they didn't want 6 hours ago.

tapping into that, to prime the pot for downloads is surely a useful feature. The fact these apps exist are just natural competition in the app store, against the app store.

It is that last bit that makes me doubt the validity of it as a business model.
Sure. But by checking a wrong answer, we now have an unusable data point AND we have skewed the poll ...
> If you only do the easy and useless jobs, you’ll never have to worry about the important ones which are so difficult.

This is the toughest form of procrastination to avoid. E.g. it's easy to just fill your day with things like reading news and doing email, but the coding isn't going to get done that way.
CUPS is developed by Apple and released as open source using the GPL (in fact, to contribute code you must sign a contributor agreement with Apple: http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L186+T+Q).

I'm not sure if I understand your comment.
Exactly. And I also try to avoid companies that settle. I totally understand why they do it but still... in my eyes it's like supporting terrorism. I feel it's wrong to give terrorists any money even when it's advantageous to your business or even when you are threatened by them.
The flip side logic works too: if you want wide open sprawl, move to Stockton or Livermore or wherever. "Cramming people into a closed space" is a way to make it easier for more people to live where they want.

People in SF right now are already OK with a high density environment. Lots of people who want to move to SF are, too, but can't because there is no space for them.

The idea that "density" is "miserable" is a uniquely post-war american one. It really doesn't work that way.
If they are creating value for you, then that should be extra money in the pool, and some of it should go to the intern. What am I missing?

The time delay between creating the value and turning that value in money. In a situation like ours, a pre-revenue, bootstrapped startup, we can create a ton of value, but nobody knows exactly when our first (and subsequent) sales will be.

Now, if an intern wanted an arrangement with deferred compensation, contingent on some future revenue, etc., etc., that could theoretically be arranged. But it probably wouldn't be worth the effort to do all that.

OTOH, value can be exchanged in other ways other than money. An intern who works for "free" in the monetary sense may still benefit from the situation. A strong letter of recommendation and a verifiable reference to put on the resume represent a form of value as well.

But, all of that said, I'm still not super crazy about unpaid internships. Like I said above, if we take on any intern(s) we are looking to pay them.
I would agree. I don't use social media to see information about brands. I want to see my friend's activity, not advertisements. That's why I deleted my Facebook account and just use Path and Instagram, which so far don't have a big focus on promoting brands like Facebook and Twitter do.

Social networks are for connecting with friends, and I'm not friends with LucidChart or Coca-Cola, or any other brand for that matter. Some brands I respect because of the value they offer, but I would never consider them to be my friends. Hence it grates on me when companies try to use social media to connect with me as if they are my friends instead of just providers of quality goods and services, which is what I really want from them.
Man, code coverage is a horrible metric.
Saying its 'vandalism' is just hubris. Isn't asking if people under 10 or over 90 are using the site in itself setting the poll up for failure? I tend to run with the edict that if you ask a stupid question, you should expect a stupid answer.
how about custom domain? Where can see/vote feature request publicly?

I'm routinely blown away by how prevalent the idiocy of texting while driving has become.

I see it multiple times every single day. I've witnessed accidents and been run off the road as a result of it.

Manual enforcement is always going to be tough, some areas still allow an easy loophole by way of claiming use of voice/GPS functions and even in cases where people are ticketed the fines are generally quite small.

This is a rare case where I'd be willing to consider manufacturer enforced controls.
In my area there are good agents who will do it for 2-3%. I used such an agent as a buyer for a 2% rebate. He knows the area well because he does a lot of volume as you can imagine. Some states do not allow the broker rebates though.
