I wish the hundreds (or even thousands) of hours from all those people wouldn't be wasted solving the same didactically useful but rather useless results of manual work. Why can't the manual labour put in result into something great or usef

I would probably recommend going with PHP as it is one of the easiest server-side languages to learn. As others pointed out, JavaScript is omnipresent and picking it up after you got some basics down with PHP is fairly easy. To get a hold o

Maybe you should go for Fraunhofer in Germany. They are doing applied research which usually means that they work with industry partners. The jobs they offer are research positions and some of them might also be for people working towards t

What helped me was pushing frontend tasks into the backend to utilize the full quota for those two. Adding some pre-checks to the tasks (e.g. asking questions like "do I really need to scrape this page again now?) were helpful as well. Neve

I wouldn't miss the old design too much if there were a chance to adjust the display density. So, where's the switch to change that? If this were consistent in design, I'd expect it to be around the same location as in Gmail. But it's just

Drive down University Ave in Palo Alto starting from 101 and going all the way in to Palm Drive of Stanford Campus. It's an exciting view. Going all the way back, you will actually hit 1600 Amphitheater Parkway. If you have more time, take

I started using diigo a while back. While I thought I valued the caching feature a lot (back then it was still free), I must admit that I didn't ever made most out of it.

I would say startups in Europe feel more like a sub-culture than an appreciated part of the eco-system: they are common but the local media is not picking them up as much as in the US. To get you started, you could look at SeedCamp ( http:/

I believe that every business (in a certain segment) has its own KPIs. Without knowing what space you are actually in, it might be hard to answer that question. For some this is sign-ups, tweets or MAU. Identify the key metrics first and co

I was also doing project management and software development before going for an MBA--although my motivation was different. The MBA opened doors to routes unimaginable to me before and was giving me time to think about what I really wanted.

By going dark many VCs assume that they preserve their options for getting into the game at a later point. Most VCs don't want to give you a clear "no" because they know pretty well that you might change your business model, technology or
