As an engineer, the "Wozniak" stories are my favorites. He's an extremely interesting guy, and has very interesting views on many thing (including education). He's probably the "tech" personality I most wish I could meet.

The SOPA debate was hardly a controversial topic for HN/Reddit. Websites like Reddit definitely have great content, but as parent commenter pointed out, this content is necessarily the kind of content that appeals to the average user, and t

I'm French, and moved to the US a couple years ago. The high price and awkwardness of internet and mobile phone offers here compared to France is one of the biggest tech differences that struck me, as I always had imagined that the US would

I barely watched TV as a kid/teenager living with my parents (it helped that cable isn't that popular in France, where I'm from- most people are content with the 5 free national channels, which are now completed by 15 or so more through the

Actually, at the end of an F1 visa, provided that you got a degree, you can work under OPT for 12 months, with a possible 17 months extension if you're in STEM. At the end of those (12+17) months you can seek H1B.

If you bring it down to numbers, the pay is definitely higher in the US. For instance, an average software engineer out of school can expect a starting salary between 25 and 35k euros on average in France. In SF, it's more $70-90k at the ve

I'm in the US with a visa. When I opened my bank account (Capital One), I told them I didn't have a SSN yet and they opened it anyway. The clerk told me I would have to give them my SSN when I got it, which I never did (half because I forge

A few years ago (ca. 2005), I was a minor contributor to the Gnome project. At the time, I remember it being my favorite desktop in terms of usability and clarity, and thought it was headed in a fantastic direction to make the Linux desktop

Most of us perceive this huge aberration because we are in tech, but the average person is completely oblivious to that and probably thinks that legislators know what they are reasoning about. The scary part is when you realize that they ar

To be fair, Aonuma has been head honcho for the last 4 games or so. It's still a pretty big deal that Miyamoto is leaving, but the transition was smooth.
