If I was only being paid in equity, I would be offended being called an employee and not a cofounder (and would likely not continue / take the deal).

In fact, GoDaddy in particular (used to?) charge you $25 as a penalty if they determine that your whois information is incorrect. That's the reason I took my domains elsewhere.

Many non-programmers think that math is 90% of what we do. They don't realize that programming is instead mostly logic, not hard math. 99% of a business software developer's math usage is going to be elementary school algebra or

Separate developer days into blocks. A small block at the beginning of the day for an "open house" where anyone can directly ask questions of devs, come to chit chat, etc. One block can be support tasks / ticket fixing. Cont

According to the Prius manual you linked, you can apparently turn on a power save mode on the keyfob by holding down the lock button and hitting unlock twice. This stops the key from receiving radio waves at all until a button is hit, so it

Lobbying is how laws get made and unmade in the US. If you want laws changed, you had better have a lot of money or the right connections. Your voice might as well be non-existent if it's not accompanied by a campaign contribution.

Crazily enough, you may be able to do all of this in an HTML 5 / Javascript app running on a server, including the offline / syncing components. This assumes you can get users running a relatively recent browser. https:/&#x

You'd have to pay me more than my cashback credit card is currently paying me. Doesn't sound like an easy task while remaining profitable.

By your comment, you seem to believe that coding in a specific language is "a terrible thing". Would you care to explain why, or are you just trolling? (A link to another PHP bashing session is not sufficient.)

I think they're fishing for a confession that you're using some aspect of their patent. Don't talk to them without a lawyer.

I'm curious to hear what others think about the trend of sending data over-the-wire and rendering HTML on the client. Twitter did this for a while. They still do, but they switched back from a 100% API-driven model to a serverside f

They were supposed to call me back and didn't. I ended up just setting a 90 day fraud alert on my credit profile[1] and with ChexSystems[2]. Both are free for people who believe their identity may be compromised; you don't need
