Really? Lectures given a mere 30 years ago are now irrelevant? You make me feel old.

This is really cool and I have a possible startup opportunity that could use this. One question if there's anyone from BlockScore listening–I've seen some finance/bitcoin startups that require you to upload a picture of your

So I left university in 99 (Cal Poly SLO) and am considering going back in the Fall to finish. From what I understand most courses are still using Java.

What about a 4G/wifi hotspot that completely bypasses the school's network? You could subsidize it by sharing usage data, which could be compiled to generate "most popular" lists and tied to curriculum components.

Cruise goes on an Audi A4, which is roughly half the cost of an A7 ... so you could get an A4+Cruise and still have money left over

That's fair. And you're probably correct that there's more to it. Another issue could be our unwillingness to push young people towards trades that will be in demand for the foreseeable future. I know plumbing and painting co

I don't really think he's saying it's about motivation. It's about the "do anything/follow your passion" passion ... the problem is, people have a passion for art, they rack up $100K in student loan debt g

I wish I could upvote this 1000x. It's not just "you can do anything" ... it's that it's been coupled with "do what you love for your career" and similar platitudes. I love cooking and photography as much

This is interesting. By "quotes", do you mean quotes that are short (often funny)? Or do you mean longer, monologue-type quotes? IMDB has a quotes page for many movies[0] and there is a quotes.list file in their text file dumps[1]

Which method did you use? (there are 3 options after enter your car info). I am thinking of selling my Honda Element and the prices offered seem pretty low.

If you have any plans to work on existing projects, especially in a freelance capacity, I would say definitely yes. In fact the only scenario I'd say no is if your only plan is to build your own new apps from scratch.

I'd like sources on SEO being a "muti billion dollar industry". Tens/hundreds of millions, maybe. I doubt multi-billions.

I appreciate the counter-point but you haven't said anything to convince me otherwise. The presentation I referenced and other replies seem to back that up (if the CEO of Constant Contact says it ...). My main point was directed at peo

Is it cool to post projects like this in GitHub? (give Apple's NDA/PLA for iOS Dev Center members). I ask because I have some things I'd like to post but am reluctant.

Thanks for clarifying. Is your 3.5-5M valuation cap number pre- or post-money? Given what you said, it looks to still be in the range of 25-35% investor ownership, correct?
