Um, if you want to mail your telepresence robot to Hacker Dojo, I'll unpack it and let it wander around.

You can actually test drive the robots normally on their site. This is more trying to help all the people who wrote in asking if a Hacker Fair would come to their city participate with us!

What we're trying to do is have one person with the technical chops to figure out if candidates are good and one person with the power to move the candidate's file along in the hiring process. Can you think of an appropriate noun which repr

the main contact info on the hacker fair website will work, and as we get more dojo volunteers to take surfers it will be a scaling solution.

Come anyway! Those big companies (and maybe some smaller ones too) can do visas!

Hey I'm a director at the Dojo. Please ping Katy@ if you want to start something up in Chicago that is similar to the Dojo, we'd love to see the community grow.

"Wait, what? It’s a one-day event. How are you going to change the world in one day? If they could really do that, then imagine what they could do in a year. This sounds like someone with delusions of grandeur. Or a cult." Perhaps I should

I'm not one to minimize nuclear fears, but we're also living a lot longer. On an infinite time scale we all die, and when infectious disease goes down somebody's got to pick up the slack. In this day and age that might be cancer.

I was irritated at how poorly the facade of playing telephone with scientific data was being maintained. This is pretty blunt about being at best unprofessional and information-less and at worst an agenda of hysteria from a source I normall

I'm female last time I checked, and a paste from my blog makes gender guesser thinks I'm weak male and gender genie says I'm male. Doesn't mean anything, but worth noting. Grepped this, which ars technica claims is a real chat log. She say

Many other people on this thread have compiled lists of "western" tragedies that did not come to looting, so I think calling it a cultural thing is out. I think the difference is that when people believe the world is watching and that help

Hacker Dojo work has caused me to run into a number of governments / entities with money trying to do things like this by either directly handing out cash or handing out goodies and tax breaks. One of the oddest/largest is in Vietnam http:

I like this! I think the glasses are great because everybody wants to look important and busy while they waste their time on facebook and hacker news, and the glasses are right in line with that. Voice control I think won't catch on in pub

I don't think he said they don't count, I think he said they won't make you money, which is different. Many of the ideas you listed were invented by one person and then capitalized upon by another. This doesn't mean the idea wasn't importan

I've never seen us go "back" to any technology in anything other than aesthetics which seem to cycle. If I knew what was coming next though, I'd probably go build it. I bet it is exciting, technically currently difficult, and will make a l

I think if you want to compare Facebook to something outdated or controlling, I'd try the "portals" of the turn of the millennium. It's a pretty natural extension we see with almost anything which subsists on advertisements: more attention

I think these puzzles may be useful, but they do not respect the candidate's time. Candidates apply to many jobs, and it is unfair to expect them to each put half an hour into a problem they may or may not be interested in for a job that ma
