Regarding the speed vs memory occupation, there should be comparison between linkedlist vs. hashmap. I remember that linkedlist is faster. So it depends on the language support. You can google it more. I don't have time to find out abo

Sorry, I don't quite get it. Why are the employees screwed? I know that the VSs got liquidate first usually. But the employees also have their shares value raised in their pocket. If the contracts are not favorable, then even if they g

Of course. If it's in Java, I'd definitely do that. We are using Hashmap everywhere. Since the original code looks like this, I thought Ruby does not support hash. We usually implement code on the application level, so we don&#x27

Are we allowed to discuss solution here? Or everybody has to work out the results separately? I don't know Ruby, but I can guess what it is doing basically: 1. Read a list of words from a file with an input path or a default path 2. Ta

Good point. Now we are back to discuss about the valid business model. Making cost effective products and services is one of the value proposition for a new business. But Google and Amazon's contribution are not only to make the servic

Yeah, it's like an illusion. Some early apps did make a lot of money out of it though. Now it's like overflooded, and everybody expects free apps for sure. When they suggested you, they only care about whether they can get it on s

You have two questions in argument if I understand you correctly. 1) What's the difference between a business model based on having enough users vs. having buyout offer? I don't differentiate a business from a company in that way.

What a splendid marketing campaign for attracting new users to visit 4chan? While we are busy discussing about the failure or success, while we are feeling the ups and downs as if we are experiencing, 4chan is way bigger than the two apps.

Good point. But there are numerous apps available, are you going to choose anything not free? Actually I did once. I cannot find a good background for my Nook tablet, I spent $1.99 to buy one since Nook does not open to Google Appstore. But

Expectation must be adjusted. A lot of apps and even real world products should shoot for a short term profit and gain in before the majority of people lose the curiosity and become tired of it.

I think what you said is very typical. Apps are like mini toys or online games. People lose their curiosity very soon since there are so many free choices out there. We cannot expect or take it too seriously for the long run. Being adopted

Good argument. It's a gambling instead of a business model. According to the traditional business practice, if you don't have a sales projection, you don't have a business. Tech world should not bet on the exceptions. Investm

"It takes a lot to decide that you should kill something rather than try to funnel more money into it without having an end-game set up." Correct. But you may miss out one point: not every innovation or successful apps is able to

Discussing Amazon's business model is always an interesting topic. The first time I heard about that Amazon made no profit was from the news telling that they had to increase the free shipping criteria to be $35 instead of $25. Basical

Ok, I understand now that you are only interested in "open concept" which is not something I can help. But I didn't only consider one book. Based on the research and investigation I have conducted so far, many existing Semant

Yes, PHP has weaker security but fast implementation because it allows direct database access from the front pages. There are a lot of discuss about it. I always disable PHP on the HTTPD to avoid potential issues.

I totally agree with you. Security is the no. 1 concern before we start a public launch. The issues you mentioned is very basic that should be avoided in the first place. VPS should be well maintained by the owner himself or have profession

I was also wondering if they have embedded the Android OS in Nest. Even if there is no machine learning, handling a simple web server for UI and a Wi-Fi stack, you need a simple OS or Linux kernel. These issues are definitely resolved in Ne

Can't agree with you more. Not only for the reason of jealous. Let's do a no-brain estimate. Dropbox has: 1. A novel idea - $1M 2. A neat implementation - $10M 3. A reasonable size of user base (including one-time sign-in users an
