Sample Submission Form: Fill & Download for Free

If your startup truly relies on technology during the validation phase, you’ll end up partnering up with a technical co-founder or delegating the project to a technical team.That said, it’s often not the case.The lean startup methodology uncovers different ways to validate a business idea with little to no technology involved upfront. You may experiment with a simple landing page, a Survey Monkey form or even a series of phone calls or coffee meetings.For instance, last night I had a call with a former business partner working on a new startup. It involved a technical project that customers can access from tablets and submit some information.While he had surveyed a hundred random users already, the business model wasn’t completely clear. The complete technical solution required some voice recognition capabilities and machine learning for analyzing the input.However, the type of information was dependent on the service providers - which required a few more test iterations instead of refactoring the MVP several times (leading to a high five-figure technical platform for the MVP).My suggestion was going for a lean, technology-free solution including a combination of printed sheets, an iPhone recorder, or even a sample submission form that could be implemented in a trivial WordPress website. We’ve scheduled another call in a couple months from now after compiling at least 800–1000 responses and coordinating the results with the vendors.Once we have a direction and an financial commitment from the early vendors, we can discuss a more robust technical stack that would simplify the process and reduce the manual overhead.But technology turned out to be an expensive bonus that could be avoided over the first 2–3 months.Most businesses can bootstrap in a similar manner. While that’s not always the case, it’s always worth exploring simple alternatives while confirming the need and refining the product-market fit.

No.Antiviruses, distributed with outright malware (spyware, etc) are rare. In most cases it would hurt antivirus reputation so much it won’t recover. No real rogue antiviruses recovered from such things in the past.Now there is some grey area. There are 2 points to consider:Usage-data and samples: Some usage data might be aggregated. For example, link scanning, cloud -based scans, crash reports, etc. This might be considered spying, even if they would not be stored. This is especially true for automatic sample submission (e.g. some antivirus submits suspected files for checking to their company, which is privacy risk).Getting money from freemium products. That is various form of “safe searches” (AVG has done that if I remember right), “safe ads” etc. While they are not called malware by AVG (obviously), there is little difference from adware or hijackers.

From Adam to the Flood is 1656 years. For hundreds of years people could chat with the perfect couple (initially) who once lived in a utopia named Paradise. Both Genesis and Josephus agree that Abraham was born 290 years after the Flood. Abraham could have compared his genealogy with Shem, who was still alive in his time. Abraham is generally considered to be living around 2000 BC. Therefore, the traditional date of creation of around 4000 BC seems correct. The Mayan calendar places creation at 3114 BC which is not that far from the date of 4004 BC given by Ussher.Robert Kovach wrote Early Earthquakes of the Americas (Cambridge University Press) and investigated Meso-American cultures such as the Aztecs, Incas, Toltecs and Mayans. Fernando de Alva Cortés Ixtlilxóchitl who died in 1648 was the great-great-grandson of an Aztec ruler and recorded the traditions of ancient Mexican Culture. Using the beginning of the Toltec era as a starting point, Kovach estimates the beginning of earth to around 3566 BC to 4190 BC.Suppose you wanted to date a wood sample you found deep in the earth at a radiocarbon lab. How old would it be. The most advanced method to obtain radiocarbon dates is AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry). If this really gives an absolute age why do I need to answer the question "what is the age of your sample?" on the submission form?The Oxford Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit (UK) have this in the instructions for their sample submission form: "Period (required) - indication of likely age of the sample: e.g. Bronze Age, Paleolithic, Holocene etc." If C-14 dating gives the exact time when the specimen died, why ask? That is, radiometric dating labs do not use the double blind procedure like you would use to prove a proposed cure for cancer.Young earth supporters and sympathizers include the following: David Hume (Philosopher), Lucretius (Epicurean and poet), James Hogan (former engineer and scifi author), Vine Deloria (Native American scholar), William Corliss (compiler of scientific anomalies) and Richard Milton (Mensan and science journalist).
