I'm not sure what earthquake standards has to do with the aesthetic of the building. The main thing they need to do is drill 200 ft below surface into bedrock. The competing design had a similar shape/weight distribution but was m

I just hate the design of salesforce tower. it's a recycled take at the architects same building in Hong Kong and Santiago[0,1]. Not sure why you would make such a landmark, dominant building look so unoriginal and unremarkable. 0: ht

This isn't a trick question. Staring at a screen consuming mindless content...whether its from entertainment companies or your friends...is bad. Bad compared to exercising, studying, taking a walk, being out with friends. Is it worse t

there's no way those boot camp programs spend 10-12 hours a day on data structures and algorithms. that's hyperbole. they need to give their students vocational education on how to build web or mobile apps...how could they spend 1

i was going to make a similar comment but this sums it up very well. CS papers work best when dealing with very specific, nitty gritty areas that require research after defining a hypothesis or problem to solve. 'Software architecture&

This seems to be a trend that I see across open source projects. They blog about features that Oracle has had for 25 years as if it's something new. Can someone enlighten me as to why there's interest around X DB's implementa

Its pretty disappointing that transit advocacy groups spend more time fighting ride-share and jitney transit services than actually working to improve transit in their cities. Instead of looking for solutions to making faster, cleaner, more

I guess this is a less technical question - but what would your advice be to an artist who wants fans of their more famous influences (similar artist) to discover their music? Aside from the obvious (tour, market yourself to popular playlis

It's funny when people complain about vendor lock-in from Oracle, IBM, other legacy enterprise products. Then they move everything to one of the big 3 clouds so they can use their whole suite of services...interesting.

Everyone knows that songwriters do not make their money off royalties. They make their money off charging pop stars hourly to write music with them. The same way performing artists don't make money off their albums, they make money by

Pretty telling how they left California off the list. The California High Speed Rail project is a testament to the pork, inefficiencies, poor planning, and NIMBYism involved in major infrastructure projects in this state.

I have a suspicion that removing the home button and relying on swipe-interactions might be a step back in usability for the non-tech savvy people who have made up a large share of iPhone users.
