I am wondering about your economics. Back of the envelope: 800 usd per month (min 80 hrs of work) translates into max 10 USD hourly revenue. Does not sound like much for "expert knowledge". I suppose there are different approaches

Like the idea, generally, but two questions: 1) For our company to make a decision it would be really important to roughly know the costs per lead upfront. Have you considered this kind of pricing and if yes: why did you decide against it?

Would definitely be in, let's keep the event dead simple: No long date + time discussions, just pick a date ~2 weeks from today (weekday!) and choose a nice location, where we can make a reservation. Maybe something in the "Uni-Viertel"?

Why should she use a text-message for a belt bomb? Wouldn't a simple switch be sufficient? I don't think this is a credible source.

Memcache, for example, is explicitly not meant to be run with "public access", as it is not secured against attacks. I am pretty sure the same applies to redis. If my assumption is correct, i wonder why one should use a (potentially slower)

What a great idea - I'd love to join but unfortunately I am busy on the 8th. Would be great to schedule the next meeting a bit more in advance (1-2 weeks) and preferably on Thu-Sun ;)

I highly doubt whether they're using the right econometric models. In table 2 and 3 they're using an OLS model although the dependent variable is binary ("choosing and aggressive strategy 0/1"). A logit model seems much more appropriate her

First: I wonder if all jpeg viewers accept the "new file", I guess some will choke on the altered files. Second: If this works it might be possible to distribute hidden files through profile pictures (one facebook and friends) :) I'm glad I

I'm trying hard finding something missing, but I think your points are very good already. I'd also choose this sequence. Just brainstorming on the things I wish someone had told me before: (1) Be careful when picking friends as business par

From my experience, the best way to start planning is to give your lecture its structure first. For a start, I'd divide it into 2 parts: (1) Internal perspective [The bright idea, people, motivation, skills, legal aspects, gtd] (2) External

This is great news, but it would be even better if amazon dared to start their service in Europe as well. So far, there is no "real" competition to paypal for small developer sheds. In fact, I am sooo p about it, that I think I'm going

Although it's nice to see these numbers, I'm a bit sceptic and think one should not over-interpret them. Reason: Who says this is a systematical effect due to their organizational strucuture? I know I'm being picky now, but you could also b

I've had mainly 3 reasons to switch to R: (1) It's free (2) It has a huge repositoriy of libraries. There's hardly anything that you can't do with R. In my special case it was about hazard-rate models, which are barely implemented in other

That's why I said "to some extent". I agree that they did not intentionally plan to f * up their code. But I'm sure they could have been refactoring their spaghetti at some point, but obviously they didn't.

I think Adobe made that on purpose to some extent. The less other programs are able to handle a full-featured psd, the more consumers will likely buy the full version of photoshop (ok, some might be getting it through other sources, but at

Did you figure out how they're transforming the serialized image data into real images? I remember there was something like a data-attribute in the img-tag back in the days, but i thought it was deprecated years ago...? Any hints?

Is it just me or is there nothing really fancy about this script? Look at the example page of <insert-your-fav-js-framework-here> and you'll be even more surprised...?

Thanks for sharing, R is really a great tool. Using it as well for my PhD thesis because I needed survival/ hazard rate models, which I couldn't find in Eviews, SPSS et al. And btw: If you need good alternative to R's native plotting, try

Having a closer look at the list shows that password rules like "alpha + numericals" don't add much of security in real world scenarios: In approx 95% people seem to add one or two digits at the end of a string.
