" Group efforts require the feeling of belonging to a group to be effective. You just cannot get that if you work remotely"

I wonder if someone told all the (paid, for the sake of argument)devs working on Open Source projects that they can't have the feeling of being part of a group since they are scattered all over the world.
So sad. Especially for Windows tons of valuable stuff is there, especially smaller utilities like DDMM and similar :(
>That would be a nice business but it has a high entry point and a short life overall.

High entry point = lack of competitors.

As for the short life:
New development is always occurring, meaning up to date images will always be needed. These cars could also be contracted out to real estate firms to take up to date photos of neighborhoods where new development is proposed.

>Also, doing the same thing, the same way, that competitors have done is foolish.

They've done the hard part and validated and created the market for street level photos. I wouldn't consider Google, Bing, and Apple as competitors unless they sell their street level data. Perhaps they do, then I would be uninterested.

This business model wouldn't be the same as Google, Bing, and Apple either. They are using street images to create a better UX for maps. This idea would be using street images to sell to enterprises who would then use this data for whatever purposes. B2C vs. B2B.

Well, we are company that is currently looking to work with a good technical writer. It could be a pretty exciting opportunity:

A startup with apps downloaded by 3 million people in 110 countries, and used over 2.5 million times a month.

An open-source platform (that makes heavy use of Node.js) with a social mission: to revolutionize social networking and put the power back into the hands of people and organizations the way Wordpress did for blogs.

We are currently building a portal for it at http://platform.qbix.com ... over half of the documentation has already been written, but by the developers. We are looking for someone with experience in evangelism and passion for our company's open source vision.

I'd be very happy to mentor you about JavaScript development principles. You can look at my posts on StackOverflow -- or better yet, the Javascript code (both client-side and node.js) on http://github.com/EGreg/Q to get a aense of my coding style. I've been coding in JS for over 10 years and I enjoy teaching and seeing people get better because of me :)

Anyway, if you are interested, visit http://qbix.com/about and drop me a line.

From the article:

> As a company spokesperson told me, the company actually tabled its ambitions around translations about a year and a half ago and hasn’t scaled the businesses or accepted new clients (it’s still working with CNN, though).
I've looked at ninja a couple of times, and I've always been turned off by what appears to be a lack of Gradle support and the need for a special compilation tool chain. Whenever possible I like to keep tooling as vanilla and commodity as possible.

HERE Maps (of Nokia) does street level imagery plus lidar data. Apple could have licensed their data.
Actually from the posted article, it sounds like they've been phasing out the translation-as-a-service part of their business for over a year now. Their reasoning is that "eventually businesses tend to pay more attention to the parts of the company that are profitable," and they want to be an education company, not a translation company.

Evidently they're planning to make money from paid certification tests and they have "other plans to monetize".

To be fair, the TSA security process has always been little more than general purpose policy enforcement in the pursuit of "security theater." When you have 95% failure rates for DHS penetration tests [1], it's tough to argue that the security provided is anything other than illusory. In that sort of environment, why not chastise flyers over the size of their bags? They're already being chastised over everything else.

How to Write a Recruitment Email to Developers
It was built in the 1950s when South Korea was still very, very poor. The idea of encouraging defections back then wasn't quite so crazy.

I'm pretty sure that the village is actually inhabited now and has been for many years. Probably as soon as they realized that its propaganda value was limited.

There's plenty of shit made up and printed in 'prestigious' media outlets about North Korea. If a story seems too crazy to be true, then there's a good chance that it actually isn't.

Like yours, for instance.
That sort of change is easy - at least you have bricks. Clay just oozes all over itself.

Whatever works for you. If it's just your code, you have enough control to keep loops from going bad. Large multi-programmer projects seem far more prone to that problem.

Does any country out there not tax progressively?

I just can't imagine it - "Great, you got a pay rise! Now
you get to take home less, until your pay rises by
another $5,000!"

He's just whining. At no point under the progressive tax system do you get penalized for earning more: the first $35K of your income is still taxed at the lower rate. When you earn dollar number 35,001, that dollar is taxed at 53%, but your average tax rate only goes up a hundredth of a percent.

This misunderstanding of how tax brackets is so widely pervasive that I can only assume it's the work of enemy action: people who want to reduce income taxes, or to move the tax burden to the poor by implementing a flat tax rate.
>I would hazard (but of course do not know) that I know more about the subject than you do

I have read two books from defectors, who I imagine had more personal involvement and first-hand experience than some western tourist who fancies himself an expert because he went cycling there once.

Tourism isn't the wonderful learning experience you make it out to be. Its, by its nature, 100% artificial. You have no skin in this game. You can walk out at any time and your money is coveted so you get treated and handled a certain way compared to a local. Tourism doesn't teach you jack shit about the country you're visiting and I say this as someone with two passports who visits his parent's native country frequently. I am not an expert on that country even though speak the language, have family there, etc. I just dont have skin in the game and when I'm there I'm treated like a tourist - not a local. I dont ever have to interview for a job there, deal with the authorities really, pay taxes, deal with the local mafioso/crooked cops/bad government past a superficial level, deal with any of the everyday grind outside of tourist framework, serve in their military, etc.

I wish more North Korean apologists understood this. Instead we have an online army of Dennis Rodmans trivializing the human rights catastrophe in North Korea because the food they were served was okay and the locals all smiled as you drove past in your air conditioned bus.

I feel like Zenefits is becoming a case study in everything you don't do when you enter an industry. We'll be switching away because I'm worried who else they won't play nice with in the future.

Uber and AirBNB have scared the heck out of huge incumbent industries and cities/governments and had scraps to be sure. But they don't have the consistent missteps as Zenefits. They know when to fight and when to take a lump or two, stay quiet, and bide their time.

So you might ask “how can you make money giving away a learning app?” This past week DuoLingo answered that question with the commercial release of the DuoLingo Test Center.

The DuoLingo Test Center is currently free but it won’t be for long. Give it a try if you’d like to see how it works. Once the DuoLingo Test is accepted at schools and employers, the company plans to charge $20 to take its test.

There’s an established incumbent (monopoly) in this market called TOEFL. If you’ve come to the US to study, you’ve probably taken this test. It’s a lot more expensive than $20 per test and DuoLingo is out to prove it can do this testing less expensively and better.

Any effort to formulate ta'arof is futile. The three times rule mentioned in the article is an oversimplification. Ta'arof is a very subtle art and understanding the difference between genuine and fake ta'arof and when to stop is difficult at best. I am an Iranian and I still have trouble playing this game. I hope I will figure it out sometime before my 50s.

By the way, that phrase doesn't ring a bell. Is it possible that your friend is Azeri (Turkish), Kurd, or Arab? Because Farsi is not the only language spoken in Iran and definitely not the only language in which you are expected to ta'arof.

I can understand that it'd be frustrating to have a blank screen. It's surprising that Apple couldn't keep the screen on all the time like the LG G Watch series has been able to do. I get 24 hours of battery life with the feature enabled (it's on by default).

Does someone have insight into why Apple can't do what LG has been doing for a year? Is it patents, a larger battery, better software?

On a related note, I hope that someone will release an android wear watch with an epaper screen. I miss being able to see the screen easily in direct sunlight like I could with the pebble. Maybe some sort of hybrid (multi-layered) screen would be possible.
That's not just your impression, it's literally the last paragraph of the article.
Matter of perspective I guess. When I looked at my early mortgage payments and 85% of the payment was interest so after 10 years I would have barely paid down the principle at all. To me, that feels like waste.

I invested with steady 12-14% returns for 10 years and then watched it all get wiped out. The interest rate on paying of debt doesn't change. Granted, at current rates it's a lot tougher to make the argument for mortgage interest vs other types of debt.

Nobody ever shows a compound interest chart with anything other than a steady interest rate (aka - 30 years of 10% return = millionaire!). A single negative or downturn can have a pretty dramatic effect on those projections. If you look at those same projection charts and take the amount you'd look to invest over the first 10 years, but put into into debt payment instead of investing so that you get everything paid off, then take that same amount you would have been investing, start investing it plus the money that you're no longer paying in monthly expenses then you'll find the end of the 30 year period to be an almost identical result. The only difference is that after 10 years you've eliminated virtually any risk of personal bankruptcy.

If you can find something with a guaranteed long term return higher than the mortgage interest then it's another ballgame, but those are pretty hard to come by. Right now dividend investing seems to be the closest approach that generally lets you ignore the actual interest rates over time and instead focus on building cash flow.

But this is one of those topics that is part math, part point of view and part personal comfort level. This was just my perspective.

I get the vibe that Google leads in technology, Apple in design, and Microsoft in always being behind the two. It seems like features from the Google-verse end up in Apple-land after a few years, and Google gently copies Apple's design at the same pace. Microsoft, just feels like an out of touch, but well-to-do business dude always realizing his attempts to stay relevant are 15 minutes too late.

I can tell you Taarof is one of the worst traditions us Iranians have, it's like playing reverse poker.

Taarof is mostly based on context, with a stranger it's never genuine but with within friends and family you will want to pull your hair out. You will begin to pay for stuff just to skip the awkward Taarof, but will have no choice to engage in it when the other person has to give in to the Taarof.

React... no really.

Write yourself some helper functions to generate placeholders for your backend language that's actually going to send the email, eg. $('varname') would translate to <?= $varname ?> $.if(..condition..) etc. Load them into global space to save yourself the trouble since you're going to write a lot of components.

You'll also a need a means of outputting raw html (note how placeholders have a lot of unsafe characters; react hates those) Just create a function that given a string as code, outputs <raw dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{_html: code }}/> After you compile the code with React.renderToStaticMarkup strip out any <raw> and </raw> tags from the resulting string and you're in business.

Since you're compiling to your native backend templating system you don't need to worry about keeping a node server going or anything; you just build once and it's done.

Using React (and javascript in general) has some key advantages,

1. you are using components, so you only need to write your garbage table code once and you can use the components to design your emails

2. you can run the same components though multiple configurations; one configuration might generate a template for html emails, another might generate the non-html emails, you just make the components smart in what they output... sadly with the advent of smart watches you're going to have to be sending both, enjoy.

3. you can leverage npm modules; for example the module inline-css will inline css from a css file; so you don't have to do it yourself by hand or rely on copy/pasting back and forth to some site

4. you can run your css though postcss and other compilers for all sorts of backwards compible goodness; including let you know how you've accidentally written such sophisticated code as "background" instead of "background-color" <.<

5. you can pipeline any other junk you have too; push your images to a cdn etc;

6. others, who are not so wise in the table-fu of '99 can dable in creating new emails easily; they just need to use only use existing components and everything (should) be fine most of the time

7. you can share your table-filth with others easily, yey?!

ps.

The biggest headache with emails is not the code involved so much as the time it takes to make the damn things. If you do it with out assistance by hand, what would be a 30min job if built as part of a page, is equivalent in "email dev time" to 1 day easily (don't forget your email client is not the only email client! you have to cater to such wonderful things as Outlook which is under the hood Microsoft Office! of all things). Not the greatest ratio time wise. So no matter how crazy or convoluted the method, I very highly recommend, you do anything in your power to do it any other way then code it 100% by hand.
Workflow tool makers: Allow defining data flow, not just task dependencies
Well you can notice a nice ring, or a nice mechanical watch, and not feel compelled to ask about it or try it on.

Generally with jewellery you would expect someone to say something like "that's a nice ring," not "hey is that the new Apple Watch? Can I try it on?"

Of course the latter will fade with time. So if that's her biggest complaint then I imagine it won't exist in a few months.
