Longmont is nowhere near as nice as most of Boulder. It looks like you can get more for your money in Cherry Creek as well. Boulder is very nice if you can afford to live here and are prepared to pay Bay Area housing prices. I'm in an

I'm currently in Boulder and only one person out of the three dozen I work with is able to afford their own home here. Everyone else seems to commute from Denver or Longmont. I don't see how the limited industry in the area is abl

I've never used Snapchat and I hadn't used Uber until a month ago when I found myself working away from home and without a car. I haven't seen any truly revolutionary technology since smartphones became mainstream. Most of th

Tear gas would just force a reaction, likely with the assailant leaving the gas and shooting at the police. He would have been killed in returning gunfire but also may have managed to shoot more people. The outcome would have been the same

This is likely related, I wouldn't be surprised if the son in question was buying CSGO or DOTA 2 skins. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2016/04/congressman-blames-son...

Countries should cease trying to increase their populations at the expense of quality of life. This is but one example of many where quality of life suffers and Soylent Green diets are suggested to accommodate the infinite growth crowd. I

This doesn't look like satire, they've even gone and created nrapress.org which mimics the actual NRA-ILA site. It is not obvious satire and the press release page looks absolutely authentic because they've ripped the NRA-ILA

When dedicated server providers don't react to complaints, complaints are instead sent to their upstream transit providers. Dutch based hosting provider Ecatel is an example that quickly comes to mind where their upstream providers sim

I use credit cards like a debit card but get rewarded for using them. I pay them off in full every month, I have never once paid interest on a credit card bill.

I cringe when I see articles such as this, leading research universities will always be superior to "teaching" schools. Not only is conducting quantitative research far more difficult than teaching, the research garners prestige a

I hope Valve decide to use Half Life 3 as a benchmark VR title. Half Life 1 was a phenomenal take on the FPS genre, Half Life 2 added physics, and perhaps Half Life 3 can be the start of very high quality VR shooters. If Valve were to relea

I transferred all my domains away from namecheap several months ago when the Ukrainian based live chat support was adamant they couldn't send an "ACK" message and have my domain transfer out automatically, and instead had to

I don't believe there is any shortage of computer science talent. I believe there is only a shortage of students graduating with CS degrees from schools like Stanford and MIT which is what many employers are looking for. NACE figures r

The vast majority of fields are simply not lucrative enough for the median salary to be anywhere near $200,000/yr. A chemical engineer is typically unable to create anywhere near as much value as a software developer at a leading compa

The wealth tax in Switzerland is quite low, the fact that capital gains are not taxed more than makes up for the wealth tax. Swiss passports are far more valuable than US passports, I'd be afraid to travel in much of the world on a US

Mikey Dickerson, who is now running the US Digital Service, was previously involved in the Obama for America campaign. I don't see how we can pretend that politics play no part in this organization.

Most of those listed as employees of the digital service on the main site seem to be employed for political purposes, if you read their biographies most don't have deep technical skills. The whole department seems to have been created
