Well then I would recommend a video or screenshot instead, or just populate with fake data. I personally just wanted to see what the possible values could be. I know the service is new so I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. But if I c

Yes that is true. I would add that typically most startups attack a particular niche first before taking on that strong competitor. A niche where that competitor is weak or absent. Some of the best advice for you question is from Paul Graha

I am a new Stripe user who is just about to finish implementing a workaround for the limitation of one active subscription per customer. I was excited to see this news, but my excitement was tempered when I read that billing for multiple su

If you look at many of the most successful companies, many solve a problem people already had and the solution is either simpler or cheaper than existing solutions rather than being the first to solve a problem. Google wasn't the first

I have contractors only and have them use their own computers. I have used company money for things like surge protectors in the office or a tablet for testing.

One of the reasons for creating an LLC or corporation is so that #2 does not happen. As long as company is set up correctly and founders do not do something stupid like personally guarantee a loan then you should not have to worry about thi

It is usually stock options or shares for lower salary in the early stages. Normal salary + options is only typical for more established startups.

Yeah so I see two use cases for this: 1. A NoSQL database but with SQL as the API and some support for relations. This is quite nice because I have often found NoSQL APIs to be lacking in many aspects. 2. A set of fully relational databases

"Decoupled data. You can't run arbitrary queries over your data. But you can still have a full relational database within actors. So you need to organize and split your data model into actors. Read the query model and examples sec

Another question. How is this different or better than having a set of relational databases with a load balancer between them?

What was the specific reason for using sqlite? Why not Postgres or MariaDB or whatever?

The $1500 figure is actually quite low for SF. It is more inline with south bay actually.

Since that number is meaningless in the U.S., I guess you wouldn't care.

"This would be straight up illegal in the US due to HIPAA, which guarantees a patient's right to privacy." That is a blanket statement which is false. Some of what NHS is providing would be illegal in the U.S. Some of it is a

That sort of data can be included in de-identified health data in the U.S. if it can be shown statistically that the individual cannot be re-identified.

by rpedela 13y ago
No it isn't. U.S. health data can be sold if it is de-identified or with a patient's permission.

C does not have proper support for polymorphism. It can be simulated with structs in certain cases though. I can't remember a specific instance with C++ off the top of my head. It has been a several years since I touched it. Sorry.

I don't know what your first sentence means. As for the second, I was explaining what I thought the author meant by "scaffolding" not making an argument for or against anything. Now here is an argument for you: shouldn't

I think he means having to implement toString() ten times to handle all the various types that need to be converted to strings. toString() is a trivial example because most languages have that built-in to some degree. But there have been se

Can't speak for all package managers, but I know that some do not handle multiple versions of the same package well. In contrast, NPM handles this very well. Publishing packages is also much easier than pip or Packagist (PHP) in my opi

The assumption is that the business would continue to grow but slower than they would like. I don't think $340K was the ceiling.

With yearly revenue of $340K, why couldn't they keep going? I realize that is smaller than their costs, but $340K is enough to pay 2-3 employees and the other costs (hosting, etc). Didn't they only have seven employees? Why are th
