Yes, but before people believed Standford's lies that aid was needs based, so if they had money from a job or something, they would expect to get nothing and not bother applying. I was in a similar situation, my parents both worked, an

Wow: " This is probably not an elaborate scheme to harvest phone numbers and send them to China, but rather the way the default manufactured SIM code was implemented and it was never trimmed down to the needs of this device. Neverthele

The WeWork claim is that some of their startups will become huge and they'll already have their foot in the door, so to speak, for selling those huge companies more real estate and services. Having a 5 person startup as a renter is not

Definitely. I've been at startups who got signed letters stating the acquisition will go through from the other company, the other company spends months in due diligence learning every secret we had, then they just stop working on it a

I don't mind fixing it up if you still want to publish it. Put it on github and post a link to the thread? Or you can email me at lnanek at gmail. I need an app store account for my own apps anyway.

That's how I feel about it as an employee. If the startup doesn't do well my equity is worthless anyway, so I don't really care if it is a clean round or lots of tricks to get the valuation/share price up like that by pr

Not to mention they often miss the most important thing to the developers: what the developers can do with the exposed API. The Google Plus API was super locked down, for example, you could only post actions from your app from some pre-appr

Initially you could just write Android apps. Every OS release broke the standard features more and more, however, and you were pretty much forced into their special programming paradigms, yes. For example, originally swiping emulated the d-

I agree and prefer black blacks. It's very common in design books to say that's an absolute no-no, however. So graphics people must think it looks better somehow.

It's very wordy and takes a lot of reading, but he does have a pretty solid point. 1) He is talking about enterprise computing, and makes that clear with: " Up until now Intel has held a dominant monopoly over Enterprise computing

If you make a "pro" device, well, graphics designers require the precision, and they are a big part of pro users. They aren't forcing you to use it, it supports touch too, so the only drawback is increased cost to support the
