Learnt is most commonly used in British English.

If I visit my in-laws house for a few days, which is a common occurrence, am I unable to watch my Netflix account on one of their TVs? It sounds like I would be restricted to only mobile devices.

I absolutely keep my personal GitHub account separate from my work one for that reason. It's also because I like to keep my work life and personal life separate. That's why I don't use my work email for private matters (you never should anyway!) and I don't use my work PC for anything other than work. It keeps things clear cut for both my employee and myself.

It should read "then compares the generated hash to the hash that was received from the client to verify that it matches"

Or something along those lines.

A little random but I thought some of you might want to know what the stores were that were next to the vending machines in the photos.

Pictures:

1. Alcohol and food store

2. No store

3. No store

4. Alcohol store

5. Eel restaurant

6. No store

7. Egg vending store (direct from farmer)

8. Rice polishing vending machine (turns brown rice in to white)

9. No store

10. Sightseeing ferry office/shop

11. Apple store (actually name of company but they import brand name products)

12. No store

That's obviously only a small sample but as someone who lives in Japan I can tell you that usually where there are alcohol stores, there are vending machines. Of course there are other places they are too, but in my experience, it's rare to find one without vending machines.

I live in Kyoto and was surprised to learn that there were even 18 convenience store robberies in the year before the program started. It's really safe here so I wonder what percentage of those armed robberies included assault on the clerk. Anyway, this is a good idea. And the Kyoto taxi drivers are amazing too. They aren't your standard "just arrive in the country and don't know where anything is" taxi drivers that are found in many cities. These guys usually own their own taxi and take great pride in knowing where and how to get to anywhere in Kyoto quickly and safely. If you are in Kyoto and take a taxi, you'll never have to worry about being taken the long way so they can get extra money. So good on them for working with the police in this situation.

Thank you for your reply.

You are right in that I am a more practical, pragmatic programmer. I do have experience building enterprise applications and project management which is great, but I am lacking in the algorithm side. This is part of the reason why I am pursuing the degree.

Ultimately, I would ultimately like to do something with robotics/machine learning. I have a real passion for automation. I would love to work at a place like Amazon and help build the future of automated distribution. The algorithm side of things would tie all my skills together.

I will talk to the university about their statistics side of things of this course. I will see if I can get a full course outline and go from there. Would be more of a challenge, but worth it in the end.

Thank you again for your reply.

I liked the concept but I found the game had a couple of annoying issues.

1. The clickable area around the number needs to be a little bigger. I am using a HTC One M7 and it often wouldn't register the clicks.

2. After this first game, a full screen ad popped up and that really annoyed me. I don't mind the banner ads at the bottom, but full screen ads are VERY, VERY annoying.

I'm also taking the N3 in a couple of weeks. 頑張れ！

I was in your situation. I switched from Firefox to Chrome and thought I would never go back. Funnily enough, I went back recently (a few months ago) and have really been enjoying the recent Firefox editions. Sure, they make some "interesting" design choices, but overall I believe it's really improved recently. You should really give it another shot.

I'll add to this post by saying that I live in Japan so, if you can't find the flavour you want, I am happy to buy it and send it to anyone. Obviously, I'd expect the person to cover the cost. I imagine it would be same/cheaper than buying on Amazon though.

It's kind of ironic that you can't bookmark it in Chrome using the ctrl+d shortcut when this is one of those perfect bookmark tools.

Any US users want to help us foreigners out by gifting it for the $2.99 price?

I see $31.99 in Australia. The interesting thing though is that the link has a referral code in it. Maybe the submitter is trying to make some money on it with some bait and switch ?

The "trust us, just create good quality content, and we'll recognize it" line is true. If you write genuinely good content (ie: others think it is good, not just you) then you will do better. Yes, they are using these tricks now, but eventually the cream will rise to the top. Just keep plugging away at great content and you will eventually build traffic. Don't play their game. Google will eventually start swinging the ban hammer and you don't want to be in their sights when they do.

Short answer: Blogs.

Long answer: Blogging. Seriously. Write about interesting topics related to your startup. Start to pique people's interest in your product. That's where the best (and free) traffic comes from.

I imagine you'd advertise for a support specialist in the traditional sense, but once hired, they wouldn't have a job title. Their skills would be in customer support though so that's what they would naturally do. If they tried to work on development, but had no skills, then the group would remove them from the project. They'd then have to go back to support or find something else they can work on with their skill set.

I liked the article. The part about firing early is very true. It's like ripping a Band-Aid off quickly rather than slowly. Just get it over with as it may affect your future and everyone else's, as the article also mentions.

One thing that caught my eye though was in the comments. The user claims that the article could be put another way " why hiring right team is crucial for startups". I don't agree with that at all. Someone may look good on paper and interview great, but they may not be a good fit for the company. It may be anything from conflicts with other staff to consistent lateness. You can't find these out in an interview. You also can't find out by checking references as many employers will give glowing references to staff they want to get rid of but can't.

As you haven't mentioned what exactly your search engine will focus on, I'll just throw this idea out there. I would love a search engine that returned results equivalent to Google, yet offered me the privacy level that I desired. With Google, currently I am the product. I know this. I understand this. Thing this is, I don't want to be the product any more. I want to pay for the product on say a yearly fee which guarantees me I won't be sold ads or have my search habit information sold.

Agreed. Some of the words are ridiculous. The repeats are so bad after a few days playing, you didn't even have to try any more.

The free version was acceptable in the beginning. They show ads in return for it being free. I get that. I am fine with that. Then, it got to the stage where they were FORCING ads down your throat after every turn. It became unplayable, so I just removed it from my phone.
