I thing the solution lies in the distribution. Think competing against big Hollywood stuff: it is by now mainly a marketing-distribution issue. Say somebody made a movie and had to distribute to a big audience, how can he/she do it? Ho

Go back reading the middle part where I explain the problem is in the business, not in the tech. But hey, I am sure you guys can keep producing consumer apps till you will see a nice margin drop due to market saturation. Zinga teaches us al

Thing is, I am constantly working on concepts to develop a SaaS that could free me from a paid job. I actually do code and do pretty much everything (python (flask...), databases, sql, javascript, css, html, the whole package), because nobo

There are 25 theories because each one works on a different set of assumptions. As economists can't work with lab experiments, they have to go with lots assumptions using complicated statistical tools. They can't ask businesses be

Well, they did develop things like game theory and information theory in those 80 years. They also went beyond Keynes (the serious ones). The problem is that you can't make n experiments in economics to study a phenomenon, so many less brig

Of course we should, from here ( http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2013/05/the... , last paragraph): Economists are sometimes chided for disagreeing about the importance of such basic questions as the relative role of aggreg

Well, my design skills are horrible, but since I was playing with the idea of creating an application to design and print work outs, I stumbled against the limit of buying my own icons as many exercises are very specific and there is no com

That's very interesting stuff. I don't live in Mountain View, but I do work in controlling and I do deal with inefficient software on a daily basis. What this comes down to is safety/reliability vs speed and efficiency. If you can get a wor

Better Place always seemed to me like a marketing stunt. I am really not that surprised this happened. The idea, although, is still interesting. I guess another lesson of the big difference there is between a good idea and a successful impl

I like the idea of working out a better forum experience, but your page does not really explain where and why you are different. Maybe you should include a section for this somewhere.

Let me say it, lately I have been working more with SAP and I have to take back a lot of the hate for Excel. SAP is much worst. Very reliable, but hell it makes you waste a lot of time.

I'd pay at least 30$ for a book that does an analysis of the Flask's source code explaining the basics of the http protocol and restful apis. For example, I use jsonp and I use a decorator from the Flask snippets ( http://stackoverflow.com/

Europe is slipping down the wrong path. Instead of embracing the new, it's holding tighter and tighter the old. In Italy there are many commercials about the good old days that is frightening. And the very bad thing is that those that are b

Those rules are important. Not every company in the world is a start up with <100 people. Once you have thousands of employees, you need controls. You can't have interns selecting suppliers or putting stuff into the bill of materials, a

Maybe it's me, or my non CS background, but I feel that many positions could be filled by a "normal" programmer that doesn't spend nights coding esoteric algorithms. On the other hand, the esoteric algos guy might get bored in a job that se

And yet again, why do we have to assume we have a bunch of people good for nothing? There is historically no evidence whatsoever that any percentage of any population provided absolutely nothing to society. Now we are also saying public sec

They probably said that also in the 19th century and look at us today, have we seen a drastic reduction of the active work population in 2 centuries? No. This kind of thinking assumes that there are people fundamentally flawed that can't su

BI income should be available to people that really need, because in most countries there are no resources to give it to everybody. Even if there were, I challenge who believes in BI to tell me if the State could not put that money in resea
