In case anyone wasn't aware of the existence, the Open Data Law[1] means that there are lots of fun data sets to play with [2]. Plenty of fodder for data science projects. And if you want to get involved BetaNYC is one of the larger

On the other hand, Ubuntu Edge tried to raise $32 million. These folks are trying to raise $1.5 million. Seems like a much more reasonable goal.

Trying to wrap my head around this...as someone coming from .NET land, maybe someone can explain it in terms I understand? In F#, the default method of asynchronous programming is the async computation expression. That is, there is a type

I'll add one more thing. Very few of the jobs on Craigslist are "sexy." Ignore the sexy jobs. Once you get your foot in the door, your options expand enormously. The adage "no one cares about your grades after your f
