This is an awesome idea. I signed up a week ago, but haven't heard back. What's the deal?

This article talks about a lot of things these firms do to attract talent. What about just offering more money?

This article makes it sound like this project is the only chance for the US to launch manned spaceflights again. Clearly, the Dragon capsule has a much better chance of doing this before the SLS. I wonder if Space X is simply not very well

Out of curiosity, how does the off-the-shelf software solve scheduling problems? EDIT: Nevermind, another comment pointed out integer programming

I think noise reduction is an important feature do pursue by drone manufacturers. Multicopters are very noisy at the moment.

I don't know why the developer of Mailbox decided to only support Gmail and Apple iCloud. But I do know that making an IMAP client is extremely painful. I once had to, and I can't remember having to deal with a more confusing or f

As I read this, Buffer doesn't pay remote employees less. Rather, you're payed more if you work from expensive cities (eg. Hong Kong), than if you work from cheaper cities (eg. Bucharest)

Any list of 'SSH tricks' should contain: 'ssh -D 2001 user@host.com'. This creates a SOCKS proxy on localhost:2001 that goes through host.com. For example, I use a digital ocean instance hosted in the US to tunnel throug

You're so fucking right. I still like vim though.

It seems no article can positively describe a city, without mentioning that it's also a tech cluster. Is there a city that doesn't claim to be a tech cluster? We need to recalibrate that term.

It's possible to create your own Hacker News/Reddit clone using Telescope ( http://telesc.pe/ ), which is built on Meteor. Of course the challenge will be to build the community that makes such a site useful.

I don't think that many people care about server-side templating anymore. Some excellent JS frameworks has done away with that.

I really like vim and use it every day, but I'm honestly never going to commit all this to memory.

Hah, I didn't think of that! Just before reading this comment I was working along in the editor, furiously pressing j/k. I'll put this to use immediately.

I wonder when we'll see Google Drones, taking pictures of buildings. Google Maps could become extremely detailed that way.

How effective are MOOCs really? I'm not saying that they're not effective, I'm simple asking the question. Are people getting hired based on a resume of a MOOC education? Do you know anyone who really learned a subject by tak

Exactly. This is pointless.

Are some of the fellows' projects made available as open source? I'd really like to see some sample data science projects and what they're about.

I'm running into a paywall. But, I just went to Paris and all the parisians we met (waiters, store owners, etc.) were really nice. I've been going to Paris for quite a few years, and I think the new generation is way more hospitab

You can also use grequests (originally a part of requests). It has a grequests.map() function, that I use exactly for this scenario.

This is after they are exposed to the MVP. At this point the solution isn't hypothetical, only the premium version is.

Exactly right, in that eletric and petrol cars are not the same. They have a different feature set. Electric cars will be worse in some areas, and better in others. A lot of people have a hard time estimating the value of electric cars, bec

I sold at $22 thinking the bubble was going to burst soon. Damnit. There's an understanding that a few big players have a lot of the total amount of bitcoins in circulation. This price must be extremely tempting for them to sell at. That co

You're right, it's not going to teach us much about Mars. But it's going to teach us how to get humans from Earth to Mars. That's pretty valuable in my opinion.

Trying to actually get to Mars will surely push technological advancement needed for space travel. It will also inspire people to get involved in space travel. While this mission might not produce other results than getting better at space

The article also states that the irish subsidiary is owned by companies in Bermuda and British virgin islands, which is where the profits go. Is it easy for Microsoft to get this money back into the US? And how?
