Here is what I suggest: take your prototype and imagine the mass produced version. Make a slick video that shows off the prototype, the imagined mass produced version, and a request for funding. Work the numbers and figure out how much mone

It looks like there are a decent amount of 1BR/Studio places in the <1000 category. I would search craigslist apartments with the search term as 'bart' and putting in your price range for what you're looking for.

"Creative Commons Non-commercial license (but I’ve let anyone who asks use them for free)" This is his primary fault. If he gives his photos away for free to anyone that asks, it's hard to listen to his argument that he can't make any money

I think this only works if your livelihood is not dependent on outside communication. For everyone else, if you make enough $, hire a personal assistant / secretary to stay on top of your email and schedule.

A few things to update this story: Peter Svensson from the AP was there (as rumored). his report has not been published (yet?) two other journalists were there, and have published: http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article

Resist the temptation to turn off the lights and bask in the LCD glow. The most influential thing you can do is to keep your workspace adequately lit.

The solution is not to limit student debt, but to remove restrictions of discharging the debt via bankruptcy. If the lenders had skin in the game, they wouldn't be lending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to those who cannot pay. Ba

I think what bogs down many non-coding people is getting stuck on a problem for perhaps tens of hours before figuring out a solution does not appear to be worth it in today's age of instant gratification (especially if you're in a time limi

Start a blog, start slagging your competitors, back it up with actually being better than your competitors. The tech blogs love a good mud fight.

Interview and see what they offer. There is no shame in moving up to a higher paying job when opportunity strikes.

The prices you saw are the carrier subsidized prices. The carriers buy the phones from apple and then subsidize the cost, and try to make a profit over the length of the contract. The presentation was a little bit sloppy, because previous p

I would go to your local university and find a graduate student in the field of expertise you need. These folks are usually looking for new, exciting ways to use their skills and get paid for it, while still working on their masters/phd

The key problem is that MA is reading 'we're not legally liable' as 'we're not going to help her'. There is a huge difference between the two. Companies go out of their way to fix issues where they have no legal obligation to do so. However

Form a business in a state that does business with amazon legally. Then do contracting work for said business. Talk to your lawyer/accountant and make it work. Plenty of people have done this from the start.

If it is to the benefit of the community to have it be exclusive, it should stay invite only. Scale the invites given out as your business is able to scale, hopefully tied to activity that encourages benefits to the community, not spam.

I suggest taking a few days off, then keep working until your bonus contract doesn't leave you with obligations. Save everything you can, you're going to need it.

The companies you're targeting value the programming work being done / needed at $x/year. If you feel like that is too low, I suggest targeting companies that value your skills at a higher rate. Also, tech companies or companies started by
