https://github.com/openstreetmap has existed for several years. And these projects are some of the most contributor-friendly projects ever. Really, just jump in and help with something.

This is a really great question. I have a daughter who just turned 2, so I guess I have some experience with this. Lots of other commenters are correct in pointing out that 1 year old is really still very young. A 1 year old is still try

Because Blue Bottle Coffee is going to try to get acquired by a Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks that wants to operate these higher margin stores in affluent areas. They aren't trying to scale up to "the majority of the country".

from TFA: (For more, here is a blog post on the whole shebang by True Venture’s Tony Conrad — who is, IMHO, the coffee hipster poster boy — in which he notes loftily: “What we saw and why we got involved is that James and his team are part

Use wordpress? Just install the photodropper plugin. I'm not associated with the project, I just discovered it last week and it does exactly what I need.

Look at it another way: If you flip a coin 76 times, you generate a permutation, but 2^76 is such a large number that your permutation is likely unique. You can take any 76-coin sequence and say that it's mathematically likely that n

On my phone I have about 20 apps that I use frequently, 200 people that I need to contact, and about 2000 documents in the form of media files and notes. It seems obvious to me that application-centric design is the simplest way to organize

Hey that is kind of cool. I imagine you could take the UMLS Metathesaurus and load the parts you are interested in to a in-memory store for fast lookups.

Why would intellectual property rights prevent anyone from buying parts from different suppliers and putting them together?

Glad to see that they've finally backed off from the "Watson will revolutionize healthcare" pitch.

Don't see where in that link the extension cord issue is mentioned. I don't think anyone can fault a car manufacturer for this issue. Long extension cord with too small gauge wire will cause voltage drop. It's the same for a

I'm pretty certain that both Apple and Google regularly import some subset of the OSM data. I have done a bunch of Openstreetmap edits in northern NJ that have found their way into both maps. Incidentally, if you have any , even mild

Why would NSA agents go through all the trouble of tapping cables when they could probably just gain employment at Google and do whatever they want. I don't think encryption would make a difference here.

Just tell people "I write software for x" where x can be anything. Teachers, government, hospitals, dogs, whatever it is. In my case it's "lawyers". You don't have to go into any more detail than that. Anyo

Actually you are right but for the wrong reasons. The general counsel at a F500 company is not the one carefully reviewing the invoices, although his approval authority may be required for only the most significant bills. But general couns

I know I'm arriving very late to this thread, but F500 companies overwhelmingly turn to outside counsel for their legal needs. There is inhouse legal staff that review the work done by outside counsel, approve bills, and negotiate ret
