Thanks! LTS and Kestrel are new to me! Just did a first Google search on them. Thanks! I'm the self-funded, sole/solo founder. So, I pay attention to the business, e.g., getting and pleasing the users, and also the computing.

Thanks for the history of legal material on patents for the technology. My understanding of the transistor is that Bell Labs gave it to the world for free use by anyone. For the exact legal steps they took to accomplish this -- I'

Thanks. My project had an interruption, and I'm getting back to the code. My code that needs a key-value store is simple, short, just uses two instances of a .NET collection class. I need NAT (network address translation) to keep aff

Ideas? Can an idea be really, REALLY valuable? Can an idea get a lot of value via a patent or held as a trade secret? Uh, let's see: From Bell Labs, the transistor. They saw that it was so valuable they deliberately didn't paten

Consider ordinary 3 dimensional space: Go to a corner of the room, where the floor and two walls meet, and see three lines, each line the intersection of the two walls or a wall and the floor. In usual building architecture, these three l

Nice! Thanks! Looks like a nice .NET class! It's thread safe so that if my startup is more successful than I'm assuming then I'll be free to do less on how to exploit parallelism from several servers. As it is, the c

Sounds like Boeing has had a lot of what is often taught in business schools as goal subordination in organizational behavior . Yup, these topics explain that some managers can feel threatened by especially competent subordinates.

Redis, Redis, again more about Redis .... From you people who know a lot about Redis, help me out here: For my Web site code (for my startup), I needed a key-value store. Soooo, it looks like I could use Redis for that. But instead, wro

Come ON guys, help me out here: Be more clear about your terminology!!! Gee, I'm plenty good with the math and applications of Fourier theory. Sure, some physics course solved the differential equation of vibrating strings. Early on

A related concern, issue: Write a program to simulate the whole universe in full and fine detail. We would likely do this work in time steps , i.e., some version of discrete time. So, in the simulation there would be a timing , time

Uh, let's take an example: Mars gets a force from the gravity of the earth. That force has magnitude and direction so is a vector . Mars also gets such a vector from each of the Sun, Jupiter, Andromeda, dark matter, .... Then to de

Fish stock? Ah, add some white wine, mushrooms, and shallots and use it to poach some scallops. Reduce the stock, thicken with a flour-butter roux and add heavy cream. Combine with the scallops, heat through, broil to get a little browni

Class time vs homework? For me, in 10th grade plane geometry, I did REALLY well -- loved the subject, hated the teacher (with some reason). Sooo, I learned the subject 90+% from "homework"! For each lesson, glanced at the text a

Have some new ideas for that. Have a Ph.D. in math, and derived some math for that, wrote it out with theorems and proofs in TeX. Should do better than current AI. Have Web site code, running as intended, for that. Collecting data.

For the original post (OP): Didn't see any mention of market . Hard work, youth, talent, dreams, obsession, dedication, novelty, risk taking, and an available empty garage -- these don't mean that there is or will be a market.
