Yeah, see, I would probably find that incredibly suspicious as well. Though, most spam accounts try to get around this by sending out hundreds of friend requests to random people.

Most tip calculator apps are really limited - they can do what a basic calculator can do, but slower. The front page is filled with these apps. Mine can do a lot more - it can handle groups pretty well. And it's genuinely faster and ea

Tip Calculator. I made one that was better in every respect than the one at the top of the app store by a lot. I didn't realize that just because I could make a better app doesn't mean people would be able to find it. Search is ba

This would be like trying to patent the letter 'A.' Sure, it was a great idea and sure, it's incredibly important. But it's been a thing since way before you were born.

Atlassian actually scales very well from my experience, even to 100+ person projects.

First day: Follow tutorials. Get something to compile. First week: Download an IDE, particularly a JetBrains product if you can. They're really amazing, especially if you're new to coding. Try to make something simple. First month

That's about 15000 people. 15000 people in the 99%-99.9% would have about 120 billion. 15000 people in the 99.9%-99.99%? They'd have about 600 billion. The top 0.01% has about 6 trillion. So, it's a family of 15,000 99.97%ers

The answer is very simple: As total investment increases, return on investment trends towards a stable average. Inheritance tax takes care of the rest. This is why we as a society need inheritance tax. It prevents dynastic wealth from takin

We really, really need to stop growing lawn grass as a region.

I think there's a certain point at which we need to accept, and are accepting, that droughts will happen and that we need to prepare for them.

Android needs two things: 1. Real compatibility instead of compatibility libraries. Compatibility libraries just serve to fragment the community and frustrate developers (try to use Facebook integration fragments in a 4.0+ application if yo

I have difficulty telling if your salaryman example is facetious. Though, admittedly, as an American, even if I worked for a Japanese company, they would likely not treat me like that. I do 40 hours. In crunch time, I work hard 100% of that

Honestly, the only way to prevent election rigging is to associate each vote with a key, make the key-vote-district database public and give each voter a copy of their vote keys. If each vote is verifiable to the voter and the whole databas

This sounds like we need a change in how marketing is approached - you don't need to be an engineer to do A/B testing. I would be more worried that there are simply very few great marketers with an engineering background, due to f

I usually just dice up garlic and throw it inside a partially filled bottle of olive oil. IIRC olive oil is actually cheaper than butter.

You should be able to type pretty quickly as a coder, but a big part depends on your language of choice and refactoring you do. Can you type "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog?" with your eyes closed? If so, you're

Art already is already as ubiquitous as music. I would even say art became ubiquitous before music. The very first photographs and easily reproduced paintings prove this. Kids these days cover their walls in prints and posters. Your compute

I would think the number of people who want to learn to code outnumber the people who know how to code and can teach it 10:1. Without pricing to reduce the first number to manageable levels, how would you plan to succeed?

Opportunity cost. I could hire a different MBA and potentially make a lot more - and hiring additional MBAs doesn't give me linear returns (and sometimes gives you negative returns regardless of skill level via the Mythical Man Month p

You might want to change your iteration times. Try the following: 1. Define a set of tasks well enough that someone else could do them without asking many questions. 2. Then, execute a single task without changing it, even if you change you

To be fair, this falls very well into the "Internet of Things" category. Imagine this scenario: You're at a convention and looking for a bathroom - but the convention hall floor just closed and there's big lines everywhe
