In MS&E class for your project they assign you a mentor, ours was someone from Stanford Graduate School of Business, so it was fair to say he was really cool. But other than that, we've also went to a meeting with an investor which was also assigned by the class. So I know "a single investor" may not be the key factor here but I am planning to present my own startup, instead of like a homework project which what we did in 2012, in order to actually make something. That's where "meeting the investors" come from.

I was wondering maybe talking to Professor's after class, try to make best of their networks could help me get through the "where do I meet investors?" phase.

And of course, I thank you for your comment

What Mandela fully understood at the time of his release was that the country required reconciliation. Nobody expected the power handover to go as smoothly as it did. Mandela was a huge contributor to that.
I did not finish that article precisely because of their fonts.

When I first opened the page, the text was displayed in a "Times" font, which looked very crisp but surprisingly bland, considering the topic of the text. I have NoScript running and I realized it was probably blocking the script that downloads a custom font. (In this case, "Karla" from googleapis.) Digging deeper, their css rules don't specify a fallback font (the css file does, but it is overwritten by an inline style), so Firefox defaulted to the 'Times' font.

Ok, I thought, let me see that font-magic they are talking about in action, and I enabled scripts on adpushup.com.
The result was... suboptimal. The letter spacing was huge and the fonts were extremely blurry.

I probably can't blame them for the fact the font displayed blurry. (A Firefox problem? Maybe Windows? I don't know what is going on in the background.) But I can, and I do, blame them for not being aware of the blurriness problem (Windows XP + Firefox can't be such a rare combination) and for not specifying a proper fallback font.

Well, those two things bugged me enough to stop reading.
I am actually talking about the International Student program. I was an undergrad back in 2012 but now I'm a grad and I believe that only makes difference in terms of the fee you pay.
So if you buy in now then Bitcoin becomes a major player in both e-commerce and money transfer. Then becomes a significant store of value with the reputation of silver. And for some reason this estimate is off by a factor of two then you could theoretically double your money by whatever time that all this happens.

All you need to do is risk it all.
Again. This happened before and a lot of blogs even promoted the product that time.
Providing IP's to law enforcement is not the same as allowing a third-party to do a MITM. Cloudflare can inject whatever content they want to the pages they serve.

The fine is usually low enough that they treat it as a cost of doing business.
This is a massive rant with some very interesting documentary. It shows very well that "democracy" is not working for quite a long time in the West, bent to the will of the wealthy.

And like every other teethless poor, the author does not even dare to suggest the way out of the trap.
Yeah, the lxc package gives you command line tools that are a close analogue to virtualenv. Combine it with a filesystem like btrfs for copy-on-write, and it's FAR quicker too.

I'm glad you mentioned JNI. In Java, native is the exception. In python, it's much closer to the rule. A hell of a lot of python libraries rely on C components which leak out of a virtualenv.

Building from source isn't reliable. It's quite hard, not to mention relatively slow. See the great success of RPM and APT based Linux distributions as proof of this.

You state a lot of half truths ("you'll never be able to catch all exceptions"), don't justify the assumptions and didn't handle the core of my argument (abstraction leakage). In the hurry to insult me, did you actually read my argument?
The comments are interesting. I suppose it's a "internet justice" thing: expose the scammer, so others don't make the mistake of backing them, and you get to attack someone you don't know. Win win? /shrugs, I would've just posted a comment saying that with the info that's come to light I can no longer back this, and pull my money out and move on. To each their own, I always find how people deal with things like this on the net really interesting.
Creating an Online Business
I think iOS' way is much superior.

- It shows up the alert when the app actually tries to use a resource.

- It lets me use the app without specific permissions. This is something great. I don't grant location permissions to social apps to avoid sharing my location unintentionally. They work just fine.

- The long list of permissions on Google Play store does not really help when the app just wants to be able to pause something when phone rings and that requires absolute access to phone services. That causes a scary list for legitimate apps almost always.

To be fair, Android's way of having them listed makes it possible to assess an app's intention before installing it. That's great and all for me and you, but did not help 50+ million users in this case.
The need for a nap after food is heavily correlated with the quantity and quality of food you're going to eat. Eat light and you won't feel the need for a nap, otherwise it's hard to avoid.

If you treat your digestive system like a dustbin, of course you'll need higher amounts of insulin excretion (also called spike) to digest, higher blood pressure (heavier heart work-load) and all these nice staff which lead to hyper/hypotension disorders and finally to strokes.

That said, I'm sure that if you wake up at 5-6 a.m. a nap around 13:00-14:00 will work for you, but the most important - imho, not sure what studies says, just personal experience - is getting a good night sleep, not a nap the day after.

There's nothing like a good night sleep and there are many factors that determine the night sleep. To mention just a few:

* Food: eating a light healthy meal at least two hours before going to bed is the optimal situation.

* Room temperature: Must be optimal for blanket usage

* Oxygen: Oxygenated room possibly, open the windows a little before going to sleep. Oh and no vegetables sucking oxygen inside the room is better.

* Sound: Trying to keep the bedroom as quiet as possible from external rumors, except maybe if you are living in nature. Natural rumors (birds, grasshoppers, etc) are likely to increase the quality of your sleep but surely nothing digital will. Even if some people believe that TV helps them getting a sleep, they rarely get a quality sleep.

* Relax: A book is at least 10 times better suited than a movie before going to sleep. Relaxes the mind while a movie is like a sort of bombardment, keeping adrenaline flow, when it shouldn't.

And many others :-)
The funny thing about the whole thing is that people are actually pledging to the project just for commenting in the Kickstarter project thread...
Can someone explain what we're supposed to see here? Why is this interesting? I'm genuinely curious.
"do we still have people taking arsenic en masse to cure baldness? No."

Yeah, we have things called "clinical trials" that pretty much put an end to the bad old days of patent medicine. Guess who enforces that stuff?

The rest of your post is a straw-man. Does the FDA make mistakes? Sure. That doesn't invalidate the need for the agency. Is it your right to do stupid things with your body? See previous comment.
To say it with the words of @BigDataBorat: 90% of data is unstructure. Furthering analysis reveal that 60% of unstructure data is cat video.
I've seen this happen several times on Kickstarter with various products. Every time I've seen it though the project gets called out before the end of the funding period. I'm sure the Kickstarter people are aware of the problem, but at the end of the day caveat emptor.
I'm not familiar with the concept of restarts. I do concede, though, that wrapping extensions limits recovery. Either the library can recover on its own, or it can't fulfill its designed service.

On the other hand, the most revered architectures we have aren't leaky. You don't see network stack code trying to recover from Ethernet collisions at the IP level, or app logic trying to salvage an SQL transaction when a restriction has been tripped. The price for non leaky abstractions is not zero, but the gains are also definitely not zero.
In case HN wasn't completely aware, most bank "research papers" are content marketing designed to try and get you to buy products from their desk. They are often very biased and should be analyzed with caution.

I don't know much about bitcoin, but I've seen enough "research" from desks to know the analysis is very slanted - hence the page of disclaimers at the end.

> Android had no choice to do it properly

With the technology we have, saying that one of the biggest software companies in the world just 'had no choice' but to implement something in a particular way is crazy.
When you start a project in eclipse, I automatically grabs all permissions, whether you use them or not. You actually have to go in and edit the manifest to remove all the permissions you don't use.
The truth of what you say depend entirely on which of the many meanings of "liberal" you are thinking of.
I think Adam Curtis understands that the people he's talking about want (in principle) privacy for individuals and transparency for government agencies. I think he's misusing the word "paradox" just as an easy way to describe that an issue is very complicated, with two different strong desires that can easily come into conflict. It won't always be straightforward to separate out information that is in the public interest from information that should be private to an individual.
There's a level between virtualenv and LXC, and that's schroot. Combine it with a CoW filesystem and that will cover everything you mention. Although personally, I find LXC very lightweight. Note that in my article, I did point out that I do still use virtualenv sometimes :)
Well at least if you get ripped it's only for 100-200$ or so. Which is better than http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/wjsteele/ultra-bot-3d-pr... where people lose >1000$, and kickstarter does not do anything at all about it.
I THINK(but I am not sure because I didn't look too much) that what is going on is that those balls are moving at high speed by small amounts with css and what wants to be demonstrated is how different browser render floating points pixel values. I think. I might be wrong.
A lot of backers for Kickstarter still don't understand that, years on. With the exception of some artistic projects, anyway, but even they are not immune (see any StarCraft doco for example). It's more like an investment in an idea, and people should treat it as such, but I think it's in KickStarter's interest to keep that confusion around...
Historically gold to silver ratio was around 15 -- Coinage Act of 1792 defines ratio to be exactly 15, for example. I don't think abundance of gold and silver changed much since then. So change from 15 to 60 indeed is based on the reputation of gold.
Ruby's Array, Python's list, C++'s vector and Java's ArrayList are all the same thing: a variable length collection with an implementation backed by an array that's replaced with a larger array and the information copied over for you if you use all the space. Fundamentally they consist of a primitive array, and a variable containing the length of the collection.

Personally I would usually call the resulting class a list, but that's because most of my programming experience is from Python and Java. I will give that C++'s name is the most explicit (especially since C++ also has std::list which is a linked list).

In C and similar languages however, array refers to something different. In those cases an array is a fixed size collection, i.e. at creation time you need to tell it that your array is 10 items long, and if you need to add an eleventh item, you need to create a new larger array and copy it over in your own code.

In short, Ruby's Array is not functionally equivalent to an array, because it handles a lot more than primitive arrays can. You can't just append to an array, or figure out how many items are in an array without separate knowledge of its size.

To add to the confusion, a python 'array' is a data type which is effectively a fixed type version of a python list. It's still dynamically sized, but it includes the type information once for the entire array rather than per item to make things a bit more efficient.
I love the fake "we can't show the name or number of our patents because of IP concerns" excuse.

a.) If the patent is easy to work around then it's not worth the paper it's written on
b.) You can't be saying you don't want anyone to know the details because you're not going to defend the patent by taking legal action against infringers, because you've already published how the idea works
c.) If you're patenting it in order to stop someone else claiming the IP, then why care if everyone knows what the idea is ? Why not publish the idea online as a freely downloadable paper ?
I knew that people would nit-pick on this and not address the actual issue. Next time, I should try harder to come up with a better example.

My point is: sometimes it is worth trying to recover when malloc() fails.

I currently sell themes at Wrapbootstrap, as a seller if there's one feature I'd want that Wrapbootstrap doesn't have are the emails of my buyers. I'll need them in order for me to do more sales/support, but I'm pretty sure Wrapbootstrap has good reasons for them not to just give out buyer information.

Even if another theme marketplace has that feature, the only reason for me to move my bootstrap themes somewhere else is if that "somewhere" has more traffic than Wrapbootstrap.
I don't see any problem with using "list" to refer to any data structure that is functionally equivalent to a list, regardless of implementation. This is hardly unique to Python: Mathematica's List type (despite the Lisp heritage) is also really an array.

You could easily imagine the implementation being changed to something else (say a VList or unrolled linked list) if someone did some benchmarking and it turned out that it made Python programs 5% faster on average. Then the name "array" would no longer be accurate, and neither would "list" in the narrow, pedantic sense. So using the term "list" in a more abstract sense is perfectly reasonable.

The term "list" also has some (tiny) advantages: it's shorter than "array" or "vector", and it's one less technical term for people learning programming (as I understand, this was one of Guido's design goals).

If we're going to talk about inaccurately named data types, let's start with the ubiquitous use of "integer" to refer to bastardized integers modulo 2^32...
I live in Uruguay (South America) and I agree with you.

A U$ 20 rate would enable me to live decently, but U$ 60/hr would enable me to live extremely well (living in the best neighbourhood, private school for children, etc..)

I currently make U$ 8 an hour (because I work 240 hours a month as a salaried employee) and I find it tough to make ends meet (even though my girlfriend works as well, she makes more than I do but only works 100 hours a month)
Why does that help end-users? I would argue it is optimizing the wrong thing.

I question this testimony exactly because the US government is known to have manufactured testimony and evidence to legitimate wars before. (Gulf War: Iraqi soldiers tear babies out of incubators and threw them on the floor to die, Iraq War: Saddam has weapons of mass destruction and so on)

I am not willing to cheer "bomb north korea" (or some other country) just because one person is testifying something in front of the senate.

You calling me subhuman and a holocaust denier because of that just reflects poorly on yourself, since that kind of rhetoric is exactly what the Nazis have used to quiet dissenters.
Unlikely, because cancer is not one thing but many. Each kind of cancer behaves differently, is susceptible to different treatments. And I once read an article about a genetic analysis that found dozens of completely different strains of cells in a single tumor.
Ugly trying-to-be-slick graphics and pictures, page upon page of content-free typo-ridden copy full to the brim with marketing bullshit, and meaningless tech specs (ooh, an embedded microcontroller with a low power mode...never seen those before). This wasn't even a well-done scam.

EDIT: Also, Android on a Cortex-M3 (according to their video). Yeah, sure, whatever you say.
This is quite pathetic.

When your customer is not happy just find a way to make them so. Start from solving their problems, then free license extension and get down to the refund.

If you are actually losing worthy money at the end of the year due to refunds, take a hard look at yourself, your business and the unreasonable expectation you set while selling your software.

We apply these principles to selling a software with $6K price tag and it works just fine, it should work much better and easier with $300.

P.S. If your policy is not to make any refunds (which is a bad policy) then make it clear, and when someone tells you stuff like this tell them to "Sorry you agreed our sales terms, no refunds. Thanks." And if they are aggressive, don't answer. Also don't blog about it, so at least rest of the world doesn't know that you are charging people for something they can't use and then announcing them bunch of terrorist because they told you that they'll write their bad experience about your product in various forums -even when they choose a bad way to express this-.

Looking at the pictures, these devices are not made from single atoms. They consist of multiple atoms but only require a few electrons to function.
Genuinely trustworthy computers (servers and clients). Still probably 5 years away. Bitcoin, NSA, etc. shows why they're needed, and we sort of know how to build them, but it's seriously difficult, and involves lots of moving parts up and down the whole stack from supply chains and designs to silicon fabs to physical packaging to firmware to OS to apps to network protocols to user interfaces.

> PDFs and ebook readers are not a good mix.
I beg to differ. Maybe PDFs and small-screen eInk readers are not a good mix.

For anything technical (computer science/maths) I only buy an eBook if there's a PDF version available (a PDF that looks like the print edition). I've had nothing but bad experience with reflowable formats such as EPUB with technical books. Equations and graphs are stored as low resolution images, any complex layout (floats for example) has to be turned into a strictly linear flow, etc... A vector PDF, on the other hand, is infinitely scalable, so you can zoom in on graphs and equations without any loss of quality.

The Control of Personal Data by Large Powerful Corporations
Because it gives a chance for end-users to be miners themselves, which in theory keeps the whole network democratised.

In the Bitcoin network today, two mining pools ( GHash and BTC Guild ) between them have over 60% of the mining capacity. There is no way for end-users to meaningfully nudge the behaviour of those pools, which in turn grants them great power over the future of the protocol and network.

Each of those pools alone has twice the capacity of the next largest ( Elgius at 700 Thash/sec ) which in turn is twice as large as Slush, and so on...

An end-user in the Bitcoin network, not owning sufficient ASIC hardware to grant 'access' to such pools, is dependent upon them.
I do all of what you mention using SQL Express (I don't use JSON though, because binary serialisation is faster). Abstraction means I save my data as documents/blobs, can still do joins, don't have to alter tables (when de-serialised entities are self-describing), fully indexed entity content.

It means thinking about what and how you're going to do something before you start coding (design up front). It means creating a throw-away proof of concept before you start coding. But it is flexible, extensible, and changes to the schema, as it were, do not impact up-stream dependencies.
