At least in the US, what you are attempting to do would probably run into a bunch of regulations. Not only are you probably aggregating funds, which smacks into money laundering regulations, but VISA/MC rules say you can't charge a card before the product ships. If what you are trying to do is some sort of escrow service, again at least in the US, that requires a license.
Wireless routers typically have just one NOR flash chip as the only nonvolatile storage device, and any firmware needed by the WiFi devices is uploaded when the devices are initialized by the OS. There just aren't many places to hide something like a rootkit, and that's part of why these backdoors are so easy to find by inspection.

Yes, exactly. In the US, this is the thing NSA should be going after ("pentesting for the people"), unleashing their wrath on vendors who sell this product (How many a politician uses a vulnerable router like that?

> You are also probably not playing well with taxes (you are supposed to pay first in the country where the value is added, but most just pay in the country where the work is sourced). This is actually a bigger concern, especially if American.

I'm paid as a resident of Florida (US citizen), and pay the required amount of US federal tax. I currently reside in the US, but if Thailand (or any other country) would like to update their tax code to make it friendly to digital nomads, I would be more than happy to contribute to their tax base if the requirement was reasonable.

TL;DR I like taxes; with them, I buy civilization.

"wasn't so obsessed with ... celebrity"? Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gossip_magazine:

> This genre of magazine flourished in North America in the 1950s and early 1960s. The title Confidential alone boasted a monthly circulation in excess of ten million, and it had many competitors, with names like Whisper, Dare, Suppressed, The Lowdown, Hush-Hush, and Uncensored. These magazines included more lurid and explicit content than did the popular newspaper gossip columnists of the time, including tales of celebrity homosexuality and illegal drug use.

Newspapers were full of celebrity stories, starting with the Hollywood gossip columnists of the 30s and 40s, like Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons. Jackie Kennedy's hair style, pillbox hat, and oversize sunglasses influenced a generation of women.

Author of the article in question here. Are you sure? The articles you refer to are just after the "PayPal Freezes $750K in MineCraft Dev's Account" news. This last part was of course, spread by Notch himself (another example of awesome marketing).

But let's agree, by then, Minecraft had already made $750K, which seems quite successful to me. And this was all before Minecraft hit the major new sites. Seems I left this part out of the article (I should probably update it).

I keep a daily journal which I save in a Word document. I don't particularly mind if it goes up in a ball of fire one day - I find that I never really go back to look through what I've written in the past.

For me, the journal's purpose is not to document my life. The journal is a daily check in - a tool which forces me to be honest about my current situation and evaluate what I can be doing differently or better. There's just something so real and raw about putting my thoughts into something physical. It forces me to really grapple with the issues I'm facing in life and come up with actionable solutions.

Even though that's my experience with journaling, it most likely won't be yours as well. Journals turn the lens inwards and magnify the things which are most important to you. Some people use journals to vent. Others just want to document the experiences they live in life to keep a history of what they've done.

You probably won't know what benefit a journal will give you until you just start doing it. Give it a week or two - do it before you sleep or right when you wake up. Before you know it, you'll be hooked. Or not, the cost is so low you might as well give it a shot.

Yes, the holes become lakes. From the article:

Perhaps you just have more perspective now. I think back to previous jobs where I was so stressed out and the problems seemed so important. Looking back at the craters that are all that remains of those companies, they weren't as much as I thought they were. That's not to say it wasn't worth doing: there were some exciting times and I met some great people that I enjoyed working with. But I probably focused too much on the wrong things.

This level of negligence is something public needs to be protected from. It's akin to a company manufacturing toys from toxic materials.

It's a matter of consumer protection.

You're either lying or dense.

> for you cannot even conceive of someone saying what I do from first principles vs. "just regurgitating GOP talking points" and lying about it all.

No, I just refuse to believe that someone would independently reinvent everything the GOP has come up with entirely on their own, and then parade their conclusions around using all the same talking points and words, without being influenced by the GOP.

It's like someone claiming they independently wrote Hamlet. Word for word. Without having read Shakespeare. It just beggars belief.

I was in very much your situation a year ago or so.

An "illusion of freedom" would imply that you think you're free, but in reality you are shackled. However, you not firing your clients was a choice. And I guess it wouldn't have been so bad for your business as much as it would have forced you to look for new clients with whom to create new relationships from the beginning.

To turn this into a potentially idiotic analogy, let's put it in terms of a romantic relationship: If not being married gives you the freedom to easily move onto a different relationship, it doesn't become an "illusion" just because you don't break up. You're still free to do it, you just need to justify it to yourself.

To begin with, the etiology and pathogenesis of autism are still far from fully understood. There are no objective diagnostic criteria, like e.g. biomarkers. Given this state of affairs it's impossible to know if any particular animal model of autism is correct. Additionally there are plenty of reasons to be cautious about drawing far-reaching conclusions about a complex pervasive neurodevelopmental human condition based on a study of a nonhuman animal. For reasons frequently related to funding it's popular to proclaim that a finding has or soon will have great importance to the understanding of autism, especially with more funding to the reporting team.

I did, with the AKG K1000[0](They are very uncomfortable, btw).

The problem with soundstage is that most recordings are made for speakers. Binaural recordings + headphones results in much better and much more realistic soundstage.

With the shifting listing habits and the raise of digital distribution(which make it much easier to provide multiple mixes of the same recording) I was expecting to see more and more binaural recordings. Sadly it doesn't happen(yet?).

Like a slow-speed random orbit sander? :) [1] Some of the dead areas looked too big for even that to help, and it would mean the maximum plate size would be smaller. Hmm...

OK, I'm going to say that the right answer is to move the microwave source linearly (or change how it's aimed? Or otherwise change its focus) at a frequency that would maximize even coverage of the heating area based on the rotation speed of the turntable.

Another (more limited) possibility is a way to mount a fixed spoon that could stir soup or other appropriate liquids while the bowl turned.

Leonard Nimoy 1931-2015
He compares audio playback quality to food nutrition. It's true, nutrition is far from fully understood. Audio playback as heard by human ears is perhaps not 100% understood, but it's much much closer.

A human being does not need more than 44.1 KHz audio playback. If anyone claims you need a higher sample rate for audio that sounds better, they're lying (whether they realize it or not).

More than 16 bits per sample just lowers the noise floor, and at 16 bits, it's pretty damn low. For playback, you really won't need more. Again, if someone professes the subtle string quartets and powerful metal jams you can only get with more bits per sample, they're lying.

It is true that better headphones will make a real difference, it is true that you can (barely) do noticeably better than 160kbps mp3 (for stereo). But audio engineers understand enough about how the human ear really works to know that more than about 44 KHz or more than about 16 bits per sample truly does not help for final audio playback.

All that to say, this two facts are not like nutrition, and they're not a matter of "some people may hear a difference, but I don't". Selling something as better for playback because of 96KHz / 24bit audio is preying on human weaknesses of judgement, when we know scientifically that these specific two things don't help.

Summary: Leonard Nimoy played Spock, the science officer on the starship Enterprise in the original 1960’s television series, the first six movies in the franchise that followed, and many of the Star Trek spinoff movies and series thereafter. Nimoy infused Spock’s character with a detached rationalism that resonated with many who follow science and engineering careers, including many entrepreneurs–although he was perhaps more of a role model for CTO than CEO. Here are a few quotes that I thought were representative of his character with some additional commentary for entrepreneurs.

Silver lining is that the processor market is mature/saturated, so Intel still has some fierce competition: itself. Nearly everybody buying an Intel desktop/laptop CPU already has an Intel desktop/laptop CPU. So Intel still has a lot of incentive to improve - they need to beat the performance of the Intel CPU you already bought in 2011 or 2012 or 2013 or whenever.

I don't like that it's this way, but the web is a (mostly) open standard for GUIs that is supported virtually everywhere that has a GUI at all.

Cocoa and .NET produce good interfaces but are proprietary and only work on one platform. GTK+ is Free and "works" on all desktop platforms, but anyone who's used a GTK app on mac can tell you how awful it is (and it's really the only place that it's great is on GNOME-based linux DEs).

Qt is Free, and it has fairly good support on all platforms (even mobile), but making the interfaces look and work great on all platforms requires the developers to put a lot of work into custom UI elements (see how Qt programs look on GNOME or OS X when they use the default UI elements). It also requires developers to use C++, offensive to programmers who prefer hosted languages (although arguably better for those planning to port to mobile). But the C++ it uses is so far removed from non-qt C++, even requiring compiler plugins, that many C++ developers have qualms with the language it uses.

The web is programmer-friendly, cross-platform and Free. Writing a desktop app using web tech means it's relatively easy to port it to ChromeOS (or FirefoxOS if that becomes popular ever) or an in-browser app. It has the lowest performance of any of the mentioned technologies, which is only relevant for especially performance-sensitive apps (text editors) and mobile.

Really Qt wins out on technological merit, but web is comes in a close second, and there's actually a large supply of developers who know what they're doing with web.
