What Josef wants is an open patent ultimately. That’s fine. Just don’t call it open source. Patent all the things you can and then publish whatever you like. There’s no shame in patenting work you actually made. Publishing patented work under whatever license you want to make up is better than a fully closed product by a mile. Instead of hang wringing over what is the soul of open source just stand up and honestly say “Hey I’d like control over my own work” then share it or don’t as you see fit. It’s far more honest and straightforward.
I've often wondered why someone doesn't combine analytics with more traditional executive dashboarding, ie show me revenue per click, per visitor, etc. There is more to most businesses than can be measured in just a website.
Article aside I'm pissed at the poor UI of INC. Why make me click through three pages to read the story but put ALL of the comments on the first page. You crappy UI tainted what was otherwise a good article.
I think this is optimistic at best. There are certain industries, healthcare for example, where barriers to entry are so high that Innovative approaches are almost always VERY slow to be adopted. Whereas other markets, like consumer electronics change almost constantly. My point is you can't just apply this to all industries equally. Generalizations are at best only speaking to the median.
I am Milton from Innotech and I hate my life. I'm stuck where I am because I am working full time and a full time student. But neither is really satisfying. I can't seem to raise enough capital to get my ideas off the ground and I can't seem to think of any good ideas that require no capital and can be completed with only a few hours a week.
But I will graduate eventually, then I will make more money and get out of debt. until then all I can really do is watch
things from the sidelines and keep learning.
If you've gotten used to both full time work and full time study at the same time, then you shouldn't have any trouble finding the time and energy to work on projects outside of work hours when you graduate! Hang in there.
