- you don't have a product idea or technical mastery of any area
- you're an introvert and don't have a social network
- you don't have money
So I would recommend that you get a job anywhere you can and gain some experience and contacts that way. Or switch your area of study to something you're passionate about. BTW it's normal to try out a lot of technologies at a shallow level, most people only gain mastery while someone else is paying them to do it.
Excellent comments but I feel #2 is only more relevant than other 2.
Professor Sarasvathy explains the “Bird-in-hand principle, which is
Start with Who you are,
What you know and
Whom you know.
Number 1( Product Ideas) can be found after brainstorming. StumbleUpon was started by Garrett M. Camp( Co-founder of UBER) and they simply filtered this idea out of 6 ideas.
Number #3 is related to how resourceful you are. Mark Mark Zuckerberg did not have any money when he started Facebook. Nowadays technology is almost free so why you need money. If you need to know programming then learn it from free SaaS based resources.
Man is born entrepreneur( "The Startup of You", Reid Hoffman beautifully described it), in ancient times there was no employee-employer system developed so individuals have to be resourceful to survive.
I suggest you to "Just do it!" and build something in which you have passion and create value. Don't worry to much about capturing value( getting rich). If your passion is true then whole universe conspires to help you-Paulo Coelo( The Alchimist)
So this is why I said it depends upon your use case. We are an enterprise software company and there are probably less than 50 potential customers in our target market that could ever use the API.
We are one of the only companies that actually has an API. If a customer has a use for our API they'll get personalized support.
Wishful thinking. In the unlikely event that AI reaches the level of housefly within my lifetime, it will occur at a level above humanity, in the same way that an individual's conciousness occurs at a level above brain cells.
Well, it sounds more like superorganism talk to me. The possibility of a superorganism "above" humanity doesn't seem to me to have any bearing on the development of AI "alongside" humanity...
I've seen lots of style guides, but most of them act like writing documentation and editing it are the same process. And so they will give advice on what not to do like "eliminate unnecessary words", but none on how to actually begin explaining the structure of a new codebase or an old one.
Because this is actually a fairly well defined area of research. Sneezing absolutely does produce particles that small. Ebola cannot be transmitted by those particles. The larger droplets that can transmit Ebola are too large to make it through a ventilation system.
> Although they are not naturally transmitted by aerosol, they are highly infectious as respirable particles under laboratory conditions.
I think the issue is to what degree it can get into the fluid that is sneezed out by humans... Once it's in it, the size of the droplet does not matter to how viable the virus is - it's deadly if inhaled in by someone else.
It's a (free) headless browser API for web automation, creating web-bots, scrapers, and talking to REST-ful web services. I just released Beta version 0.9.5 last night.
It's cool because it's far more lightweight than the most obvious alternatives, which means (for example) that it's possible to run many, many browser instances at once, such as one per thread. As an API, it's very developer-friendly with extensive documentation and simple examples for every concept, making it very easy to get started writing java-based scrapers/bots/etc.
