I have no idea if such company exists: - No politics. If the whole team agrees that something benefits their work then we will try it out. I do not have any respect for managers sabotaging team decisions because of gut feelings. Hard facts

Building automation is already available for all your automation needs. Quite expensive but working well. I cannot see what Apple brings to the table other than control devices. Big automation vendors will probably just write a wrapper for

This [1] (in German) article sums up some. While [2] is a huge list of German/EU/Int' platforms. Naturally both lists overlap. [1] http://t3n.de/news/deutschsprachige-crowdfunding-plattformen... [2] http://leanderwattig.de/index.php/2010

For a release the lua code is surely translated into objective-c, so lua is 'just' used as a scripting language.

The pitch itself is bad. What is your slogan? Tools like a pro or something for digital rebels? No screenshots of nothing? Not even a demo game? No disarming arguments why I should lock myself into your closed source middleware? Better: use

Uhm, all I read was whine, whine and more whine. - Too long unemployed and getting weird looks at interviews? Create your own consulting company, say "provided consulting to <your expertise>". Swallow down that your customers where

This exam is just a scam. Engineers working in those areas you described are fully aware and do not need an exam to proove it. Engineers new to those areas will not get a job because of having done this exam. With just a so low percentage i

As someone who just recently found HN, all I can say is that the percentage of constructive feedback VS such 'stories' as described above is still great in comparison to the rest of the net. It may have been better in the past but shallowne
