I think the main problem is sourcing. If sourcing can be done locally, then delivery costs will automatically plummet. Take vegetables for example. The actual cost of growing the vegetables is negligible compared to the transportation costs

"If you really deeply care about something, you will do it" - this is simply not true. If it was just 'one thing' that you cared about, then this philosophy works but let's face reality. On any given day, we all have more than 'one thing' t

This is one area I'd love to work if I end up not doing my startup. The qualifications are pretty steep though. 5+ years Objective C experience :).

This is very cool. A very useful demonstration of what you can do with R, for those of us who are non-researchers.

Penang is definitely a good option. Though I haven't been there heard a ton of good things and it's just a stone's throw from the mainland. +1. Accommodation and food is relatively inexpensive in Malaysia.

Another startup guy at nReduce here. Because of the time differences (I'm in India) I'm not able to participate actively in the community. I know I should learn to wake up early. What has really helped me are the weekly builds. I just misse

There's a fine line between bullshitting and using the right jargon. A good analogy is your resume. If you don't use the words that the recruiters look for in a resume - even if you are very good at what you do, you won't get past the autom

It's perhaps one of the effective filters while hiring. Not just the typing speed, but the general use of command line tools and keyboard shortcuts. Most good developers that I know are masters of the keyboard. They rarely ever touch the mo

And they are doing it elegantly. I don't even remember how I turned on the real identity feature. It was that seamless.

The mix of human and computer pilots is inevitable. There has to be a manual override option. Otherwise, the cars simply won't sell, no matter how ultra steadfast and safe the technology is.

"Please escalate this to someone who can answer the question as to why this was changed. If no one knows, then why was default behavior changed?" Mr.Rasmus, respect, for not ending the thread at this statement.

Thanks for the post. It's really sad that Google will not expose basic metadata, for enabling users to share videos on WP7.

Come to think of it. You can't share a video on youtube from a WP7 phone. The default option is Skydrive.

I met a Nokia developer evangelist at one of the events and asked him about some of the map features. The dude told me that he would get back but never bothered to. I'm not judging a company by one individual's behavior, but it surely gave

Presume this is a tool for point and shoot guys to figure out what a SLR feels like. If you can add a shutter half-click simulation - have an out of focus element and bring that to focus with the shutter half-click, that'll be awesome.

Just an analogy - what if you rent your house and the renter happens to be a serial killer and 'uses' the house to murder people, and in one of the acts kills himself. Won't it be ludicrous for the authorities to prosecute the owner ? Unles

Ditto for most of the IT services companies in Bangalore. Oh just add "Project Manager X chasing the required parties" between every line in that article and perhaps add another 3-4 day delay as most of the teams don't work in the same time
