I am 100% sure there is someone out there on one of those websites where you sell businesses interested in buying your website

What a horrible reason for deciding a question is bad. If you are simply exploring the java library and see something you don't understand it is perfectly valid to ask why the hell something exists.

Also you give no reasons as to why your preferred way of asking questions is superior other than stating as a fact that "SO would be better served" by it.

Considering things harmful is now considered harmful. Please stop.

What do people mean by "only google account supported", I've been building a web app with app engine and I just ran my own auth using passlib and it's worked fine. I also don't see how they can prevent you from adding oauth from different services onto your app.

The problem I ran into was that with python you could only use certain native libraries provided by google. To use third part unsupported libraries in python you had to do a hack where you submit them with the app but I managed to get it working with a bit of fiddling.

the Windows Server Licenses are the expensive part

None considering the article has nothing to do with databases.

This is most obvious in front end web but the simple solution is to not be an "Angular JS specialist" but a "Front End specialist".

I don't know how you got that as the main takeaway from the article.

To add some more things that can be specialized in

Data Analysis

Distributed Computing

High Performance Computing

Modelling and Simulation

Artificial Intelligence

Amazon sells digital games.

I don't get people watching single player games but I watch people play competitively to keep an eye out for new strategies and I also have some teams I'm a fan of.

> social, decorative, nostalgic

This is subjective and not monetary value. The only people that care about social, decorative, and nostalgic value of books are also the people who probably wont resell books.

> works without power

finding a place to charge your device is easy and ereaders last months without recharging

> easy to share, resell

Sure but the money you save by reselling a book is probably less than what you save by buying the ebook

Space and weight are real, expensive costs. Owning a library has negative monetary value. Owning a library of ebooks doesn't. It's stored on the internet and you can access it from anywhere.

Basically, if your books aren't furniture and you aren't sharing your books multiple times a month ebooks provide more value.

It really doesn't matter.

It breeds good will. People will be going to google io, spending a couple of days only thinking about google and leave feeling happy with their new toys. Also, if there is anyone there not in the android ecosystem they will sure as hell give it a try once they leave with their new top of the line phone.

Making the minimum password length 6 characters reduces the possible outcomes by a negligible ammount.

Lol, my dad is an endodontist and he hasn't made his website interactive (patient accounts, interactive appointment scheduler, interactive referrals) yet because he can't afford a webdev that would make it secure (salting/encryption).

My dad is an endodontist with zero software/web experience and even he knows not to keep passwords in plaintext and to use ssl.

I'm only a CS undergrad and I'm learning webdev so I can implement it for him but I still know to hash and salt your passwords. The fact that people implement these critical systems (and get paid for it) without knowing basic practices makes me worry about the future.

It's more then 250 dollars but I love my galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition. Got it refurbished in a groupon buy for about 350 and it works perfectly. The digitizer is wacom and the display is amazing.

When I search for an article on some new tech or a tutorial for some library or such I almost always get a few blogs with good content. Many of those blogs have books written by the owners which they advertise on the subject they blog about. I buy those sometimes. Basically, google is a good source of traffic for blogs.

I read this article twice and really don't understand what it was trying to say.

From what little I gathered the author believes that it is more important to educate the customer about what software developers do than to code? Or that our job is solving problems, not coding? (which if you are a software engineer, solving problems and coding go hand in hand). But then he conflates software engineering with IT.

Can someone explain this to me?

I use Ramnode to play around in. Cheap and they have pretty good support. Whenever I need help I just send in a ticket and they usually respond instantly, even on weekends. Also ton of flexibility with your machine. Can install any linux distro and do whatever you want on it.

Do you even know what that word means?

I have no idea. I would never use a capacitive stylus for writing and drawing (quick notes or not). Also, the price is ridiculous.

"There’s a reason FiftyThree’s Pencil is considered one of the most beautiful and revolutionary pieces of hardware in recent years"

It is? Am I the one in a bubble here or are the writers of this article in some strange feedback loop?

Honestly, the only thing a murderer's manifesto deserves is to be laughed at.

a billion all in cash

Props for asking for help.

I guess it's free in the sense that UT4 is a complete game, you will not need to pay to experience UT4. The extra content is made by the players themselves and can be given away for free or sold.

He made a ton of money off of the first two apps. Enough to pay for his families housing and the education of himself and his sister. But I agree, the app market isn't too reliable for making money. I see much more opportunity for building your resume using the app market instead

They are only painting half the car.

Paying people to pursue an education but they must work for a set number of years for the government or the business that funded their education after they graduate?
