Yep, a few people were frowning, especially since the democracy is in pretty bad shape in Hungary right know. However, in this case it works: it will be seen and remembered longer this way. Also, there were quite heated discussions on faceb

While get out of the building is a great advice (and almost always hard to execute), the biggest risk is not getting too many negative feedback online/in your peer group, but actually getting false positives. If you're determined,

As others have said, these companies probably have experience (and love!) with building native apps. Now if they haven't built anything serious with the latest non-native solutions, then their opinion will be just that: an opinion, but

On a side note, a few years ago I worked with a company (as a project owner) that only works on a daily rate base. However, what they offered is that they created an estimate, that contained, among others a 30% 'risk buffer' and t

I'm not sure I get the point (besides using days for the estimation, which is a good practice). So in the end you are doing it on a fixed-price term, but you're stating a daily rate as well, for scope changes. (Which you'll s

While it's probably smoke screen, it's outright stupid and very harmful. The context is a bit more complicated than Hungary doing business with Russia, the government probably does need this money as it's doing stupid (and co

Can you provide a proper invoice? What is linked in the response email is something like a receipt, but it's not an invoice. It does not have an invoice number nor does it have information about the seller (company name & address).

Having seen the first implementation of this idea years (5+) ago, I never understood why not simply use a password manager? Now you can have them synced with your mobile.

I remember reading about a solution where the ATM would move the card back and forth while pulling it in (maybe even reading it at the same time, but it's not even necessary), preventing the skimmer from successfully reading it. Sounds like

Intrinsic value is highly subjective. Paper money has about 0 (you can burn them for a few seconds, right). Gold has some uses, true, but value is (as someone said above) is simply created by demand. (Gold is worth zero if no one wants to b

Nokia has thought for a long time that they were a software company. They have been repeating this back in 2005 or 6 (when I was there). I had a colleague who kept saying that this wasn't the case. Me, I don't know. I think it's a different

Putting kids first explicitly means, to me at least, showing it to your spouse and to your children that she (your spouse) is second only. It may not be deliberate, may not be conscious, but it will manifest in sooner or later. (How frequen

Exactly what I wanted to say. "Should you start a business without any competitive edge?". This seems like a harsh move because we're used to calling everything that is related to mobiles 'innovation'. That makes us (working on these kind o

It's not the number of contributors that count but the total cost of their contribution. That tip actually costs a lot. The good old Pareto rule may well apply here as well. But however it is, if the market doesn't pay for it, then it's not

The first question shows that the software/OS is more important than the actual hardware. At least for the android users. Nothing surprising here, that's how it should be. (And that's the reason traditional big players feared android - it t

You can't figure out what to do during your sabbatical, because you're burned out and completely unmotivated and you won't be able to find it out until it changes. So the solution is to do nothing 'meaningful' for a while. Don't think about

Actually I think that forcing users to change their passwords doesn't really improve security and it may well decrease it. Good passwords are hard to memorize and if I'm forced to change it every few months then I can do two things: change

I hope it didn't come as a surprise. What you do when you outsource is not only you hire cheaper workforce from the other end of the world but you also spare on not having a permanent employee/consultant. It's cheaper because you only pay f
