Don't worry about it, when he turns 22 he'll be locked out of his own app. The problem with 17 year olds is they don't understand that time keeps ticking and doesn't stop when you're 21. I kinda get it though, I thought I knew everything when I was 17 too. It took until I turned 25ish for me to realize that I simply didn't know the full extent of my own ignorance.
These restrictions is a large part of what makes Arduino programming "fun". If you don't plan out your memory usage, you're gonna run out of it. I cringe when I see 8MB web pages of bloated "throw in everything including the kitchen sink and the neighbor's car". Unfortunately, the careful and cautious way is a dying in favor of the throw 3rd party code at it until it does something. Of course, I don't have time to review it but I'm sure everybody else has peer reviewed it for flaws and exploits line by line.
You're missing the single most important reason why SV is still "the place" as opposed to every other "tech hub" in the world. It's access to venture capital. Silicon Valley has something on order of 8x more venture capital spend than the next biggest "tech hub". That's not 10% or anything remotely within reach, that's 800% more than number 2. That VC money is the lifeblood of startups, it's what gets you to cashflow positive and allows you to grow your defensive moat against the competition. Until we see a whole lot more growth of VC money, as in multiples, in other markets, SV will remain on top.
Marshal, TX literally would not exist if it wasn't for the corrupt courts there. The judges there will keep gorging at the trough that feeds them until it's taken away forcefully by the supreme court, at least that's the hope.
I'm really not seeing this taking off the way they seem to think it's going to take off. AR? Phones evolved to handle that well enough during MLs 5+ year stealth period. VR? See PS VR and Oculus, oh, and you can buy those today. This is an ugly set of goggles (Google Glass are quite nice looking by comparison, which is a really hard thing to say) paired with a Sony Discman sized (look it up) belt PC and hand controller. The pipe dream of replacing mobile phones, TVs, and movie theaters? No, that's not gonna happen, not with that form factor, absolutely no way. I think they'll be lucky to sell a million of these at $500 a pop. This is in no way, shape, or form a mass market product.
That's because when the starving masses show up at your mansion with torches and pitch forks, it's the police that are going to protect your stuff. You don't want to piss off your primary line of defense against the unwashed masses.
That's not a good recommendation since Blackberry doesn't make phones anymore. One can argue it was a viable OS, but if it had been among the best it wouldn't be fading in the rear view mirror of history like the Palm Pilot before it. There are options outside of iOS and Android in the budget "feature" phone group running Qualcomm's Brew OS, but that's about it.
I'm going to make the bold prediction that this phone will never see the light of day. The weekly updates while fund raising followed by radio silence in the almost 2 months since the funding goal was met is about as clear a sign as exists that this was either poorly scoped out -or- is a total sham. Plenty of examples of this pattern exist and I don't know of a single one that actually ended up actually shipping.
That's nice, except that deep learning is a subset of machine learning which itself is a subset of AI. I'd like to read your white paper on "combining" subject areas that are subsets of each other. I'll share my research on combining cooking, baking, and dough preparation.
... yeah, that's what I thought. They can't fully secure a browser on 1 platform but they're going to call out a browser that runs on no less than 5 platforms? Amateurs.
Logically, this makes by far the most sense, but if this doesn't raise the mother of all morality questions, I don't know what does!!! Way to think outside the box. There's probably the basis for one amazing movie script here.
You actually are protecting the patent troll tactics, but I digress. If you can't MAKE a product, then you have no RIGHT to the patent. See what I did there. Otherwise, I'm patenting time travel, sub-quantum computers, and 1 nanometer ASICs. My ideas, my inventions. Now, I have no fucking clue how or the means to build 'em, but that part of the concept is mine. If it's actually worth something, keep it hush hush, get a company to buy it from you under contract, and profit. If nobody wants to buy it from you, and they can figure it out on their own, then it wasn't novel enough to not be independently discovered and thus had no market value to begin with.
I think you're confusing drivers with firmware. Firmware is a binary blob specific to the device hardware, in this case the Intel Chipset. It's completely unrelated to the OS. It'd be like asking the electric company to set the clock on your microwave.
Trains are great, if you're going from station A to station B on their time table (and back) and they have enough passenger cars. Trains are less great when it's >15 minutes between trains and/or your final destination is >1 mile from the nearest station.
Gotta agree with you here, structs are possibly the single most useful feature in C. Sure it's not "real" OO, but it's provides a nice way to encapsulate functionality and state, while providing "good enough" level of abstraction. I've even used anonymous structs to approximate inheritance a few times and polymorphism is the void ptrs cute looking cousin. The latter two I try to avoid because those are just begging to introduce hair pulling out types of bugs.
This was my first computer too! The keyboard was terrible, I'm still scarred by it to this day, and you'd make 4 tape backups because most would fail to read back. I had the 16K expansion pack, so you know I was legit.
I self-taught myself Basic, followed by RBase / DBase, if those can be considered proper languages. My first college level language course was COBOL, of which I remember the formatting, but no syntax. C is still my favorite, mainly because it's so simple and powerful, but sadly it's rarely practical anymore. Golang is my second favorite.
Not disagreeing with you, but I've seen a few people "rage quit". This incident would seem to fit that pattern. On the bright side, at least he didn't walk in with a machine gun.
Well, there's no question it *can*, but that rig is just begging for a meltdown related hardware failure. Love the concept, but I don't think I could ever leave one of these unattended in good conscience.
Got me thinking for a second there, didn't know how many universities there were here in 'merica. In case anybody gets asked on Jeopardy, it's 2474. Not quite 3M, but still almost 50 ***per state***!!!
I was working with multi-petabyte GIS databases on Oracle 9 in the late 90s. SQL is just fine in multi-PBs if you know how to write a query and tune a database.
I'll bite, there's a chicken and egg problem here. If you can only afford to feed and shelter yourself, where are the savings to buy a robot and ramp up a business going to come from? Everything is easier (although no business is easy) if you when have access to capital, either through inheritance or a job that pays above and beyond a living wage and allows you to save or service debt. To press the point further, nobody just "goes into business for themselves" anymore, it's not that simple. You need liability insurance, accountants, legal advice, marketing, and (again) access to working capital. Even if you have all that, 9 out of 10 businesses fail, landing you right back to square one, but with depleted savings and probably a newly formed unpaid debt.

That's what I was thinking too. To make things more confusing, people moved from assembly to FORTRAN and COBOL, not LISP.

Really? Can you share the location and company?

I'm pretty sure that's what the O-1A visas are designed for:
