Usually you can work it out where you handle the final submission of the app to the store on your own hardware so that your client doesn't have to purchase a Mac that they won't use for anything else. For development, I can't see how a ~$20

Both men led organizations that took the "raw materials" of their generation and created end-to-end solutions that very quickly dominated the market. In Edison's time the interesting innovations were happening at the first-order level. Now

I never quite understood how people would come to the conclusion that eating fat makes you fat. They're examining an insanely complicated biological system with all sorts of intricate feedback loops and then singling out one type of nutrien

I'm part of a remote team, and have had my share of difficulties with motivation. As best I can, I've listed broad categories of what demotivates me: First, lack of clarity of what the next task to be completed is, and a perplexing reluctan

I've heard of stand-up comedians, playwrights, and musicians testing new material on small audiences to gauge how well it works, but that's arguably closer to a private beta than an MVP. I also know that artists will often do studies of the

There is a striking parallel between this and American cars in the 50's and 60's, when the focus powertrain-wise was simply to get as much power out of an engine at the least possible cost, efficiency be damned. So mobile devices are sort o

This crazy dude I used to work with (and I mean that in the nicest way possible) liked to point out that the theoretical specific energy of a battery (that is energy per unit mass) is c squared. By that standard it is entirely possible we m

The problem is that legalization (like alcohol) is different from decriminalization (like pot in the Netherlands) in both the effect on use and the effect on crime. Too often authors like this one will pick and choose the best or worst attr

I'm not sure that's correct, because it's very much a tiny subset (confirmed with my iPad keyboard dock) of what I use every day on my Mac. A short list of things that don't work: ^T: Transpose two characters ^Y: Paste (yank) what you just

One totally legit rejection out of probably 50 apps, both solo projects and employer-related (and multiple updates on each). It was for allowing multiple popovers to be visible at once in an iPad app.

A downgrade is probably going to make a lot bigger dent in the credibility of S&P than it will in the borrowing costs of the US. We just saw negative nominal interest rates the other day, for crying out loud. Where do you suggest we put

Not only that, but with strongly negative real interest rates, it can borrow money to pay people to fill potholes today for less than it would cost to wait. In fact, it's better than that: - That calculation doesn't include the savings in r

They were studying these sorts of devices at Western Washington University when I was there back in the late 90's. They were using simple black-body radiators and the efficiency was pretty poor, even with a recuperator pre-heating the comb

I'm sorry to be a pessimist here, but if this works Manhattan will develop a reputation for having slightly less horrible traffic jams and more people will decide to drive instead of using alternatives, and the flow of traffic will be back

I guess I always saw github as more of a flickr for code than a private repo hosting service for hobbyists. I'd still like a good way to back up my private solo-project repositories off-site using git, but I suppose DropBox works pretty wel

One problem with so many emails is that they're much faster and easier to write than to thoughtfully respond to. Something like "how much would a clone of ebay.com cost?" takes 5 seconds to write by an eternity to answer in any thoughtful w

The question this article raises for me is whether the strategy of out-breeding every other culture is going to continue to be a successful one at cultural level in the near future. The article suggests that it was, at least in the distant

It would be interesting to see if a fat- and protein-sparing fast (i.e. Atkins diet) would work as well. Apparently it's much easier to eat a semi-starvation diet by eliminating nearly all carbohydrates than by simply cutting back calories

It seems to me you could have a huge explosion of creative work if the type of compulsory license that exists for musical scores could be applied to, well, pretty much everything under copyright. The losers, of course, would be copyright la

This seems like a perfect opportunity for someone to come in and undercut them. The app-generation part is easy and the subscription part is reasonably easy. The tricky part is figuring out what an effective magazine layout looks like on a
