Anecdotally I'd say this isn't true. I'm 42, and in the last 5 years I've learned coding, welding and a few other things. When I look around at my friends, many of them have also been learning new things. One of my best friends, who has bee

Some time ago I wrote a blogpost about how you can maximise the profit in your pricing using a bit of hacking. http://www.maximise.dk/getting-product-pricing-right/ If you use the idea I'd love to hear about it.

Being Danish I remember that in the early days of Skype they made the rounds amongst Danish investors and VC's. There were no takers (with the notable exception of Morten Lund who made a small investment and made a fortune from it). Nobody

That's a great reply! The problem is that people like me, who are somewhat technically inclined but not fulltime programmers, fall in between two chairs. I need to do some reasonably advanced stuff, but I face a steep learning curve before

You make some good points, let me try to answer. First, I'm certainly not dismissing it. Yes, I'm frustrated, but I'm also aware that a lot of people much smarter than me swear by this tool, so there's obviously a lot of value there. I'm mo

I respectfully disagree. moving around a filesystem for instance, in a GUI based tool I click on a folder and view it's contents. In a commandline tool I type an often long path, hit enter and view a list of files and/or folders in that par

This might be slightly off-topic, but am I the only one that thinks that command line tools are archaic with some pretty serious drawbacks? I see and acknowledge the power they can wield in the right hands, but for mere mortals it's a terri

Normally I'd never weigh in on a discussion like this but I'll make an exception since you post a lot here and I think you need a bit of friendly advice. I'm one of the oldtimers here, so I've seen how HN has progressed over the years, I al

The way we got a CE certification for our product was by hacking the system. It turns out that the way it works is that some legal entity of your own choice puts a CE-approved sticker on the product and can then be held responsible if the p

15 years ago I did a hardware startup, development was extremely hard and I woved never to do a hardware startup again. Now I'm not so sure. Our problem was twofold: First hardware development was not generally something you just did in you

Here's another interesting episode of the same show (I've got a secret) - it's a 17 year old Ray Kurzweil plaing the piano. His secret is that he wrote a computer program that made the music he's playing. Pretty impressive for a 17 year old

With the studio consisting of our speaker, Peter who wrote the snowmix mixer, me and a few laptops in a backroom in the local planetarium. So a studio is probably overstating it. But hey, that's what you can get with a budget of 0. :-)

It's a very good question! Launches are done in the Baltic Sea, 30-40 km. east of the Danish island Bornholm. In order to stream live we managed to get a wi-fi connection going from Bornholm to the mission control ship 40 kilometers away, b

That's actually one of the things we're working on. We're hoping to have a fighterjet-like heads up display showing altitude, roll, pitch, etc. that will be overlayed on the stream.

I have a favour to ask of HN. I'm responsible for webcasting Copenhagen Suborbitals launches, and we're having a lot of great discussions about what works and what doesn't in a live webcast of a launch. We obviously want our webcasts to be

I'm the guy that initiated the Stream team and is leading it. Here are a few clarifications: - Technically the streamteam isn't a part of Copenhagen Suborbitals, but rather a part of the support organization Copenhagen Suborbitals Support.

Hardware development is hard, but if it's doable. Even on a budget. A Ten years ago I started a hardware company that developed an advertising sign based on LED's. It was basically a motor with a stick of RGB LED's attached like a propeller

The EU cookie law is so stupid and full of holes that it's absolutely ridiculous. Also nobody seems to know how to implement it properly so most people just don't. This includes a lot of government websites and EU organisations, even the EU

let me point to a comment made by PG yesterday when asked by thaumaturgy what it's like to have your every written (or spoken!) word analyzed by a bunch of people? It's pretty grim. I think that's one of the reasons I write fewer essays no
