There are a lot of cliches which I think apply to your problem - "live for the moment" and "a bird in the hand ..." come to mind immediately. Stock options are great leverage for the company and worthless to the employee in cases such as yo

I refuse to a) accept money from family or friends and b) insist on extensive documentation and contracts. 'a' reduces the emotional complexities and 'b' gives me a leg to stand on should there be differences of opinion.

I'm building a SaaS offering to develop test data and validation tools for the ediscovery market. There are no mechanisms in place at present to show that an ediscovery process worked as expected. Courts require testing of all sorts of othe

I am wholeheartedly in agreement with you, to the extent that I took a 36 hour train ride a few months ago partly to disconnect from the normal flow of life, and from the 24/7 Internet access that I am accustom to.

What is your sample size for your observation about 100% of the founders being technical? a) "startups" doesn't just cover high tech and social networking. b) There are a lot of quiet successes out there.

I am comfortable with the $199 entry fee, though I thought about it for a few days. I'll spend more in various false starts - services, contractors, software, and paths. It is also a simple filter against people simply cutting and pasting t

I had really poor results from the CL, odesk, and various Django jobs sites. After switching to WaveMaker for our web app framework, I contacted one of the WaveMaker employees who monitored the forums and asked him who they used. He provide

The GPS system may be an exception to the purity argument. The only GPS degredations that I'm aware of were intentional. The US military is heavily dependent on the GPS system for everything from weapons delivery to route finding to station

Why do you find this encouraging? For the average consumer, these other systems will have zero impact. The cell phones, handheld, and in car navigation systems available to them will probably still use GPS. Given the cost of launching and m

The satellites are (somewhat) regularly replaced. There was a funding scare in 2009, but as far as I know, we're not at risk of losing any satellites and creating a hole in the constellation.

Looks like this has serious potential. Thank you.

I avoided this due to all the warning labels, but your point is good - this is just for prototype purposes. Shall give that a shot, thank you.

I have a fully functional backend already written in Python, but it is a standalone, command line driven, version. That was easy. The front end logic doesn't bother me, but learning all the pieces to implement the logic is intimidating.

I wrote this about the digital forensics community, inspired in part by the fact that these issues are less present in the hacker, startup, and software development communities.

If the quality of your work - code, professionalism, on time delivery, reliability, etc - is good, then you're sorely underpaid. In '80 I was in high school and working on a Wang system writing code for $15 an hour. Another summer I built c

This problem has been addressed over the last 20 years by more products and services than I can remember, ranging from csh scripts that would ping a site and send an email if it was down to HP OpenView. There are more than a few and sub $10

Upvote to you. I'd downvote myself if I could. My bad. I was going off of the video only.... Yes, this isn't by choice, but lack of choice doesn't mean that it is not eco friendly.

And, once hacked, the airlines will plug the hole you're exploiting and there goes (part of) your business model. Is building a business on a loophole that can easily be plugged wise?

This is a very good example of "eco-friendly", and the word "green" was never used. It is eco-friendly for various reasons. Two major ones are: - The lighting is mostly natural, so there is less energy use - The space required per person, a

This'll make law enforcement and corporate investigations a lot easier. Issue a subpoena on one company rather than many. It'll make social engineering easier, too. As much as I'd avoid this like the plague, I can see the value in it from a

Once you've done that, you probably don't need the valley. They Silicon Valley's days aren't over, but with the rapid growth of hacker spaces, incubators, angel groups, and other SV "services" in other areas, the need to be in SV is diminis

Why would governments encourage people to stay alive longer? I can think of several reasons not to do so: -there is an associated cost per citizen that may not be offset by revenue/taxes -this will spur population growth, with all the assoc
