Before looking at the full question I started with a timber size. Then thought it might represent an area. Within the context of the full question I suppose it is: a) An Area or b) Six, four copies of but the little automated arithmetic uni

Wow - for $100 I can get a poster... Better value than the device I suspect.

Of course it depends upon the systems in play in the countries involved but... If a phone was last on record as "roaming" in a different country one would expect a delay in establishing it's current status and that the home n

Yup, I understand where you are coming from. You can look at someone's job history if they are not too young to have a "track record" (job hopping would be a counter-indicator while promotions would be a positive). I was luck

Assuming that you are not making any money with this project at the moment then you don't have a lot to lose - except perhaps more time on a project that ultimately goes nowhere. With a low risk then you can offer a new founder up to a

Well they can give the rest of us a good laugh - and only the rich, who can afford to lose the money, will get taken in. I love the idea that an Ethernet cable could be presented as "directional" - made my day.

Somebody near you might be saying; "Co-founder keeps droning on about development buzzwords while I am still trying to bang out a minimum viable product. Time for structure when we have our first hire." The truth might be somewher

A lot of players (including Apple now it seems) trying to make money on top of a standard. there is no IP to be traded in Bluetooth LE itself. Device suppliers are trying to lock purchasers into particular brands. Apple presumable are offer

I use this word as a literary "indicator". If I run into it in a novel or while reading a web post I know that this is the moment to stop reading. The couple of times I have pressed on, I have always regretted doing so. No idea wh

Why make contact-less keys more complex? OK - possible saving for the hotel in lost fobs/magnetic cards/BLE transponders/what have you - but only for guests with the right kit who are actively prepared to install an app. Just

Why be jealous? They solved a hard problem - and executed on that really well. They got the traction and the audience - they did everything right - and it was a lot of hard work.

Link bait? Trolling? Perhaps the author genuinely thinks one language has better syntax than the other - but so what. If you prefer one - then use it. Others may have the opposite opinion. The majority do not care about your choice. So for

OK - there is a bit more at that link. Suppose I wanted to get my current GPS location and pop it on the page/screen? In the example you indicated, the HTML etc. is downloaded from a web site - so does the app need an Internet connecti

I can see the html (in the example on github), the JavaScript and the CSS but I can't see any Android. Where is the Java code actioning an event? Where is the hybrid bit?

I suppose this one will keep coming around and around. Streaming music site royalties need to be compared with radio station play royalties (after the number of people listening to the radio station has been taken into account). Notional co

Ouch - maybe the question came from someone who does not speak English as their first language. Be gentle my friend.

If you are just learning HTML then you do not need an IDE. Notepad on Windows is enough as you can double click any saved file with your code and run it straight away in the browser. Press <F12> on any modern browser to open up the de

A dictionary might define wealth as "an abundance of valuable possessions or money". We who are working on start-ups of various kinds, seek wealth for ourselves perhaps but certainly if we are successful to increase the total weal

The protagonist felt that his "wealth" was tied up in MT. Gox. Surely that is/was an illusion. Wealth is rather more tangible than some encrypted code in (wow this will upset some folks but it is still true) a glorified ponzi

Hardly a "shredding". he is saying something like "don't buy established products A or B but buy established products M and S". I think he is also trying to imply that MS products are somehow new and exciting - even

This does not come over as a realistic project. The "use cases" are woolly. It might be a cut down version of an Open source attempt to replicate Windows NT - or it might be Linux. They will try and recruit some Russian programmer

Specialist - by design. There are a great many alternatives that are more general if that is what you seek but you should not confuse a particular focus with elitism.

I don't know. His parents spent all that money to send him to a public school (that's private for most of the world) and then a top university. And it turns out he gets all his ideas from newspapers and TV drama.
