   Yeah, better consider the median! Really, this essay sounded like the opposite of the 'lean startup' idea. Remember, cutting expenses is relatively easy. Whats hard, is bringing in real money.

   Watch out for the slump! When the party is over, all your money is gone, your travels are done, your girls disappointed and you have to go back to more work while not being as successful as you used to be, it can be quite a hangover.

   Funny, I could work for a US database company but I can't work for a US rocket company. Also, if the US wants to buy an aerial refueling aircraft, they are more likely to choose Boeing than Airbus. And of course its the other way around, to

   I just saw a jogger this sunday, who had an acoustical feedback of his pulse. Zurich, Switzerland. Might be an immediate solution to your problem.

   I'd be curious to hear, why. I will be working on a Unity3D project and the team wants me to use C# with VS. As a Mac user and Open Source fan, I didn't jump at the idea. Glad to hear, that a lot of people think C# is a good choice. I'm exc

   Fellow Mechi here. Yes, they can do that tau revolution without us. In the dynamic equations, tau is also used for the "generalized forces" (a vector/array which contains all the forces and torques that act on the generalized coordinates).

    Yes, yes the potentials here are limitless! Only downside: Less privacy and freedom. At the moment it might be a nice discount for those who choose to volunteer. Its easy to see a future where it will be impossible to get affordable insuran

    * My suggestion is: create a profile page where the student scores and some stats appear. Check the Khan Academy website, check TopCoder profiles.* Come on, this is some constructive criticism.

    Interesting, can you recommend further reading for the rocket engine optimization? It seems though, that in this case, SpaceX's Merlin Engine will be used.

    Thanks, I wasn't aware of Car2Go. Their price rates http://www.car2go.com/sandiego/en/affordable-rates/ might give a good idea about how expensive using a driverless car would be if it existed today. Assuming, that the San Diego prices ca

    Exactly. And on top of that, CS was only popular for a brief period of time. Had it already been popular when he was a kid, like Tennis, then he would have probably been practicing at a very young age to become world class. And if CS was st

    I really wish there was a good way for non-americans to contribute to SpaceX. While their spare use of external suppliers seems to make sense, it makes it even harder to contribute. I find it sad that the potentially biggest undertaking of
