This is why console development is expensive. You have to rent your dev kit and you pay per update. This ensures the hardware is "below cost"

So, get yourself a cheap arduino and an arduino circuits book. Then look up each component and look at videos relating to them (most of them will include the technicals) These kits are more for children in the software/hardware space.

It's actually pretty common in Hispanic countries since you build larger family homes (My home back there had 7 bedrooms, but three generations live there -> grandma, mother, daughters)

The issue is support. Most companies won't buy unless you can guarantee a support contract for at least two years with new features being included in it. This is why software prices just skyrocket easily.

The issue is that general startups want cash to fuel their development where as HN people tend to want a "workable model" and then expanding using VC cash or debt.

The issue with the hardware isn't just the price. You factor in the good faith of the company and past knowledge. Look at Microsoft and the Kinect. After abandoning the hardware, people just stopped doing projects with Kinect, there wa

That's the general industry definition. Here's the ones I've learned (I have a CTO title, but I don't believe it is well issued) Junior Developer isn't an insult, it's just someone who may need about 1/3 o

FitBit got the best deal, they get any salvageable tech/developer resources and put a bullet in a competitor's head.

I like it. May I suggest an array of squares (maybe something like dashing.io's demo) with color codes? I would like to put it on a screen so we can just look at a glance (and remove certain squares we don't use)

Redis is great for server-side caching to recall data that you normally get from a database often. If you need client side storage, try jedis (a redis fork in javascript) or lokijs or pouchdb which are all client-side databases.

Yes, but Ruby on Rails dependencies aren't a fucking headache to manage. I've only had one issue with Rails dependencies. They work fucking great if you just want to drop them and leave in the default configuration but the moment

Unfortunately, you can't tax against a commodity, it's not currency. So, it's basically the same as trading Oil or any other basic commodity.

You can tax Bitcoin for the US in an Mexican exchange?

Tax evasion is when you make a profit after selling your Bitcoins and don't report it. I'm a good little US Citizen that always pays his taxes.

I'll agree the 12.5BTC reward is pretty high but that's spread out across all the users as a "group cost" The network basically decides that providing the last 10 minutes worth of processing power is worth 12.5BTC and am
