The site states RMB which stands for Ren Ming Bi, aka Yuan, aka PRC currency. It looks like a very specific market and I can see what they put together a DIY kit to drive the cost down given the market.

Love the concept, will definitely be interesting to see what you come up with to teach some more abstract lessons. Wish you all the luck. Here's a small big from the couple minutes I spent playing with levels 1 / 2: While it does

Coming from a 6+ year stint in a defense contracting, I can safely say that the issue with this approach happens well before the testing. The problem more often than not occurs at the requirements level.

Drinking a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate next to a wood fire during a cold night is possibly one of the most enjoyable and stress reducing activities I can think of. Life isn't about evaluating every risk. Here's a small lis

I absolutely agree. And while I hate VBA, it makes excel that much more powerful. It even makes up for some of the bugs in excel such as absolute references from a different workbook doesn't transpose using the built in transpose funct

I'd also recommend looking at local resources such as chambers of commerce. Join them (or just attend some of the events), meet their members (businesses), establish yourself as an expert (and trust) by giving free talks at events, and

"The gist of why estimates are hard: every new piece of software is a machine that has never been built before." This statement is simply not true. Every new piece of software can be broken down to pieces that are very similar to

Sorry about my earlier terse reply. I was a bit short on time. The reference to the hyperlink was meant to be an analogy to QR codes in general which serve as a transportation vehicle akin to hyperlinks. Your question in the ease of using Q

It's a hyperlink. Do you use hyperlinks?

Yep, I completely agree. We actually did exactly this (just last week) and created a QR for a live demo on our landing page (www.infoduce.com). This way people can see more than just a screenshot before having to "sign up."

It sounds like you cared more about being right than from seeing it from his perspective. Even if you ARE right (keep in mind that right is often incredibly subjective), it's far more important to understand why someone is taking the &

There's actually a method that works quite well in dealing with these "jerks." Ironically, it's the same tactic that men need to effectively communicate well with women. Here's the secret: acknowledge them. Acknowle

Robots aren't cheap. Complicated systems aren't cheap and neither is the maintenance required to ensure an up-time of near 100%. However, will there be markets where the high investment will be justified as the return is also high

You're completely off base when you assume that prices have remained steady. Are you taking into account that it has not moved despite inflation? Take a look at this following link which shows an aggregation of flight costs. http://www.the

Let's put things in perspective. The post was short under 2 bucks and the seller was more than happy to cover it. So at what point does one think to themselves, hey let's go ahead and leave a negative feedback because there was a kink with

People need to look up from their computers / phones once in awhile and tone down the passive aggressive nature that pseudo anonymity has instilled in the lot of us. How hard is it to work things out without escalation?

Let's say we redefine the definition of a developer to baseline at what's currently stated as 10x. What if the demand for programming far exceeds the supply of 10x devs? Fact: the above sentence isn't actually a hypothetical, it's the curre
