I was a developer in a startup weekend last month, and our team did really well. What helped us the most was that all the developers were familiar with the framework and VCS we were using (Django and git). None of us wasted any time insta

Although this article is a bit scary, the title is completely editorialized. Nowhere does it indicate that this is the "end of public research." The republicans are simply asking Americans to review publicly funded projects.

There's a guy making a real-time fantasy football forum called SleeperBot: http://www.sleeperbot.com/ . It's pretty cool. The success of one would probably depend on what it's being used for. The SleeperBot forums are great when footbal

No, all classes are public right now. Would you want the entire class to be completely hidden from others, or can it be publicly viewable and require an invitation to join and participate?

Thanks! Let me know if you have any suggestions for the site. It's a project I've been bootstrapping for about a year, and I'm always looking for ways to improve it.

I use Curious Reef ( http://curiousreef.com ), which is a learning website that I created. You can create a class based on a book, break it down into smaller lessons, and then add assignments to each lesson. As you progress through the book

I haven't had this myself, but a couple weeks ago there were one or two people who said that they initially launched with a site that prompted a correction from Google. After a few weeks or so the prompt went away because their search term

I was in a very similar situation. I was 21, studying mechanical engineering, not sure what to do with my life, but had high expectations. One book that helped me a lot was "I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was": http://www.amaz

Do you have a background in econometrics or regression analysis? You might be able to develop a model to predict winning horses.

One thing that hasn't been mentioned much yet is marketing. Read the big popular marketing books such as "Positioning" by Reis and Trout, because marketing is tough. There is little technical risk involved with most web companies. The bi

Since you're an IP lawyer, would you recommend that people starting out file their own trademark applications? It seems daunting to me, and I would be concerned about going through the whole process and winding up with a trademark that did

I spent some time (and money) discussing this issue with a trademark lawyer. A brief summary of what I learned is: - Even if you don't own a U.S. Trademark for your mark, you still have some limited protection against others using your mar

It's more massive, but the radius is bigger as well. It could be as low as 1.5 Gs. Modifying the gravitational formula ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earths_gravity ), it's m/r^2, so 3/(1.4^2) = 1.53 Gs. That's neglecting any local varia

I like site.com because the url is shorter. Just a preference. In these days of browsers on phones and url shorteners, it makes sense to keep the base domain as short as possible. If you redirect from the www, it takes care of everything

But there are other non-programming things to do like clean the house, buy groceries, pay bills, etc that need to be done that should be higher priority than watching a movie. Movies are for the weekends and for people who get a fat payche

It depends on the level of risk you want to take on. A lawyer will tell you to incorporate ASAP. Personally, I feel comfortable going without incorporating right up until I start taking people's money. Just my own comfort level though.

There weren't any rumors that I was aware of, but I also wasn't one of those guys who spent a lot of time gossiping about that kind of thing. I think it happened extremely fast with the one-on-one meetings in the morning and the group meet
