I saw that you got some flack for this comment, but I think your comment is very insightful. If it were possible to construct a regression on start-up inputs vs success, I suspect …

Get a better chair, better shoes, and a better bed. More money doesn't necessarily get you a better model. I know there's a bunch of other suggestions on here for other things to d…

This was my frustration also. It surprises me that they haven't worked out an arrangement to either make that feature an upgrade or worked out a way to make financial arrangements …

I found your post really insightful so I went over to Dice and Craigslist to read through some of the job listings. I tried to read in-between the lines to figure out what kind of …

A big problem is keeping people in school instead of letting them go work to support their families. Can technology solve this? Maybe. Perhaps when an ed-tech company wants to test…

It really depends. In one case, I started with the back-end because I figured that, to make money with the product, I could coast with a minimal front end for quite some time. Then…

The core idea behind your concept is basically breaking risk-management apart. However, a good team should be on the same page with regard to risk management. So, wouldn't the play…

The Raspberry Pi blog has some good projects to inspire you. I skim it routinely even when I'm not building anything, just because the people who make stuff are pretty creative and…

Whatever action you take will generally come back down the multicast feeds back to your own systems to process.

1) Totally normal 2) Big Nerd Ranch Guides are quick and painless 3) Go to the library for the books (old books for iOS 6 and better are good enough to learn from); use the simulat…

I like Nate Silver's book, "The Signal and the Noise." If you read it, you shouldn't focus on the scenarios he describes specifically. You should try to take his mindset, walk away…

You might have to be domain specific. I feel like people are A-players when the environment around them lets them shine. To date, I have not found a single person who hasn't impres…

It doesn't have to be an all or nothing proposition with C# or C++ anymore if Windows is your target environment. You can write the portions you want to write in C# and mix it in w…
