   Thanks for the feedback! I'm actually making a part of my transition plan to attend an intensive course like those offered by General Assembly and CodeFellows.org Those programs are designed to give me plenty of opportunity to put up live p

   Thanks a ton for these data- helpful stuff! I've shown her some raw data from Indeed and DICE, but the reason why I've turned to the community is this: She's not impressed with the raw number of open positions. If that were a conclusive i

   I'm also a Musketeer. I think the company as a whole executes brilliantly, but I decided to allocate a good chunk of my (measly) portfolio to TSLA as a result of Elon's track record and vision. I wonder if we'll soon see a prospectus for th

   What you've identified here is an interesting extension of the "open government" culture that I think this phenomenon represents. If Rep. Amash continues his political career in the same vein, can we count on him to continue to disclose wha

   I highly doubt that the intent is to have each post seen in people's timelines. It appears to be a place for constituents to "check up" on their representative in a way that is convenient and open. And I think that it's a bold cultural stat

    ... It's really not that big of a deal overall. This is where the problem starts. People (who are most likely comfortably employed) rationalize to themselves about the mindset that the applicant should have and then they act according

    I'm also an Android-lover, but this sample is all kinds of skewed - "based on the number of Android devices that have accessed Google Play within a 14-day period ending on the data collection date " (September 4, 2012) 14-day period? That'

    I just thought that people might like the idea more if 70% of their penalty went to a hacker-friendly cause (EFF or maybe charity:water). Then it's less of a "we are going to love it so much every time you fail" feeling. More jovial and pos
