after vanquishing all if statements, we're going to go after function calls. And after that, we will eliminate source code, because it's too complicated. Everything you need to do can be done with 5x7 index cards.

Well, I think such a book would be useful, and strikes me as a pretty obvious idea, with plenty of analogies in related areas (ie. zoomable user interfaces; code folding). Currently, if you are reading math and hit something you don't under

I'm surprised that nobody has made online math books where you can click on a succinct line of clever math and expand it, in place, to the two-page explanation.

Just curious - what's the problem with [2]? I only skimmed it, and I see that there is some controversy, but it seems pretty harsh to lump it together with [1]...

You should work with a lawyer to do it right. (Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer, but just went through this process...) If the company has no established value, then when it is incorporated the common shares are assigned an arbitrary, very smal

To be fair it should be noted that Samuel Bodman, the current Secretary of Energy, is probably not a fool even though he doesn't have a nobel prize. He does hold an Sc.D. in chemical engineering from MIT and was a prof there, though this m

You might also consider the University of Toronto. It's a big school, but the CS department is among the best (and you get to learn computational complexity with Stephen Cook and neural nets with Geoff Hinton). Also look into the Engineer

It's a bit more than a biography, but I'd recommend "The Metaphysical Club: A Story of Ideas in America" by Louis Menand. It's about the lives and history surrounding Oliver Wendell Holmes, William James, Charles Peirce, and John Dewey, an

I also didn't get it at all at first, but am now quite addicted. Twitter feels a bit like a 24/7 cocktail party full of intelligent and interesting people, where you can chose who to listen to. I think they've also evolved (or perhaps resu

It's actually possible to renew TN status indefinitely, as long as one maintains temporary intent. I've been living in Boston a few years, working on a TN for a slightly larger company, and haven't had problems at the border. However, the

Why don't you try getting into a less capital intensive and less regulated business, like, say, a web startup? As problematic as the pharmaceutical industry is, there are very good reasons that these products are regulated, not least of whi
