We also just switched from HipChat to Slack. We use JIRA and BitBucket, but had a difficult time with HipChat. It would sometimes drop messages and/or spontaneously disconnect. I find it amusing whenever I drive by their Office Space b

Hate to bash Stanford, but as a current master's student in CS, I've found their financial aid to be horrendous. The only real options are RAships and TAships. I don't consider these to be "aid packages" because the

I think Open Listings has the potential to be huge. It's a great example of Schlep Blindness ( http://paulgraham.com/schlep.html ). Real estate agents have disproportionate commissions largely based on where they operate

This is a frustrating problem, especially since MacBooks have such a high price tag. However: "The stains start to appear after 12 to 18 months." That's beyond the warranty period of the MacBook. When you purchase a MacBook,

Perhaps even more interesting is the gap between mathematicians and medical doctors. Disclaimer: I was a math major who went to medical school. There is age-old question of, "What should I major in if I want to go to medical school?&qu

I purchased the Dell Chromebook from Dell's education website. It's a slick looking device that was quite reasonably priced. I find it to be much more useful than my Nexus 7 or my iPad 2.
