I'd venture a guess that that the liquor store and the restaurant do this for "accounting purposes" and the diner is living in the 80s. As I say though, I'm sure it varies based on specific situations, my experience is b

Cash can actually be fairly expensive for businesses to handle. It needs to be insured, transported and often banks will charge fees for depositing cash into a business bank account. Depending on the specific circumstances, it can actually

There are lots of early stage startups these days that, on the surface, are easily replicated. The fact is though that they were the ones to do it first/successfully. This isn't to say that someone else can't come and eat the

Choose something that interests you and something you want to use yourself if possible. If you can also try out a new language or some new technologies along the way, even better. If you build something with no expectations of making money,

Thanks for all the hard work Steve. I have been waiting for ember 1.0 to really give it a proper go but I'm looking forward to it. It seems like a slightly steeper learning curve than something like backbone but I'm sure it will do more for

>However, a lot of people I talk to are moving to pure JS front-end + REST backend. In this world Rails doesn't deliver any particular value (in my opinion). I agree with this but I think there is a place for a javascript framework tied

No problem, do let me know if you decide to use it at all, I would be interested to see. I'm no javascript expert so my jquery examples with tooltips etc are pretty basic, I'm sure it could be used for more interesting things.

It's similar, but I would like to think it's slightly faster due to it's simplicity. Also, as far as I can tell, embedly is not so good at finding relevant information from sites with no proper image and description metadata. It's really ju
