This probably only works for maybe New York and San Francisco. I'm in Toronto -- where few people use Foursquare/Swarm -- and it's basically just a list of every location near me.

Unfortunately this is what most companies pay in Toronto.

I couldn’t believe this, had to look it up for myself: “This is why Walmart is MHacks’ title sponsor, and why Comcast (lol) was PennApps’ title sponsor" Something has been bugging me about hackathons recently. I think this put it quite

When we arrive at one homogeneous culture, who do we emulate to improve ourselves? How can we be sure that of two competing ideas, one is better? Competition and contrast between cultures is what enables us to improve. The world wants to co

I love the lack of distractions that comes with walking. You have nothing except your own thoughts and ideas; nothing to implement them with. Nothing to detract you from your own unmitigated thoughts.

I think that statement was more targeted at people who would be at financial risk if that money were lost. Presumably even if you, as a kid, lost that money in the market, you'd still have the support of your parents. However, for a lo

Love the idea! A few suggestions though: • The tutorial/intro is very intrusive. Ideally you should just let the user get started – the UI is intuitive and doesn't need much explanation. Help pages or instructions should be option

The main difference is that in Québec, tuition for all Universities is around that much. Tuition for a BA at McGill is $2,282.10 per year for local students, and McGill is arguably either the best or second-best school nationally. For com

I submitted a similar link earlier from a secondary source, but as someone pointed out in the comments, it was somewhat inaccurate. Thought it would be better to submit the original source.

Seconded. It's not as bad in Canada where most of the banks and major companies have BB10 apps, but it's still a pain not to have Mint, Netflix, and other apps I would otherwise use on a daily basis. The problem's somewhat mi

"The phone, first introduced in 2011, will be re-released as 'The Classic'." This seems to indicate that he means it's a new device, the Classic (formerly known as the Q20 [1]). Seems just like a BB10 version of the

The Altera DE2 is great to start off with, and it's also heavily discounted for University students.

Krugman seems to be attacking a straw man here. I don't think Nate Silver has argued that data must be examined in an absolute vacuum. However, Krugman often takes it (as in this case) to the opposite extreme – like many economists, fi
