Exactly. There's also plenty of affordable housing stock in Chicago and LA, as long as you don't expect to live on the lake/ocean, don't expect a big suburban house, etc. That's the thing about big cities, there&#x2

Yeah, no doubt there will be challenges, so it's good that the Great Lakes Charter [1] exists to regulate (ie. restrict) access from non-neighboring communities. But, even further away from the Great Lakes, the midwest seem roughly oka

I'm not the OP, but have spent more than my share in CS departments in the US. :) I think it's more of a EU/US distinction. In the US, CS departments typically include both the theory (of computation, algorithms, data structu

Unfortunately the devil will be in the details. If the sole prop has nothing and no obligations, you might be able to just incorporate. But if you have any contracts in place, or customers, or contractors etc, that requires some work - not

FWIW, I moved back to Chicago from SF. Would totally recommend. World class cultural institutions (SFBA can feel a little provencial at times), great quality of life, super affordable for a city of its stature so starting a business is much

Pretty weird to see a discussion of the economy in the midwest without a single mention of Chicago - you know, the third largest city in the US... ;)

I've been using imzy since very early on, and I have to say, I really like the idea of it. The basic premise is basically: "do whatever but play nice". And if you don't play nice you get modded and eventually kicked out.

TLDR: mice exposed to very high levels of stimulation early in life, grew up to treat that level of stimulation as baseline later in life. Study posits that brains wired like that would deal well with high stimulation environments that woul

This exactly. I did robotics in the late 90's and it's interesting to see how many fundamental problems still remain unsolved. And the trajectory of tech advancement is positive for sure, but not _nearly_ as fast as popsci and mar

Nice polemic piece. Only goes to show that people don't know what huge variety of game experiences there are out there. And also, we need to move away from the idea that some games or genres are objectively better or more interesting t

Hey, that looks like Norton Commander in the browser! Even the icon is an homage to the original. Neat. Also TIL that "orthodox" file manager is an actual term, and there's even a huge online book about them [1]. That's

Yeah. And police escort to get other drivers out of the way. Also: plain highway in good weather. This was a great publicity stunt, but there's a huge difficulty cliff between toy problems and actual driving in traffic in real-life con

Oh that takes me back. There were so many BBSes in the 312 in the mid 90s. Just reading the list [1] is like a trip down the memory lane. The end of that article makes a great point. There was a huge diversity of communities back then, and

I would think you'd be getting more upvotes, since the Deagan work is so completely rational and reasonable, and makes this whole thing such a non-story... For another example: http://www.mmdigest.com/Archives/Dige
