There are many of these "content curators" out there. Perhaps none that has gained as big a following as Ebert, but there are people out there like the Smithian, Christine Friar, Bobby Finger, even Sasha Frere Jones running very popular blo

iCloud's main draw is that provides MobileMe sync features for free. Anyone who expects it to be a serious dropbox competitor when the folder based filesystem is still prevalent isn't seeing why people are using iCloud.

This stackoverflow page has some good comments on what it means to release into public domain: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/219742/open-source-why-no... . The answer, in some cases, is nothing.

This is all anecdotal evidence of course, but last night I went to see Hugo at a new megaplex that just opened by my house. Not only was the movie incredibly heartwarming and reminded me of why I love the movies, the experience was great.

If you really want to go all out, check out The Elements of Computing Systems (here: http://www1.idc.ac.il/tecs/ ). The book walks you through defining basic gates in an HDL up to having created your own "fully featured" processor, progra

Why is everyone so cynical around here? Because they think that PR is evil and deliberate and not just a part of day to day life. PR encompasses everything a company does publicly, not just spinning bad situations.

Your best bet would probably be to get the unions to pull back support. But doing that will be hard.

Yes, too much is asked of them. In my mind, the solution is to just ask less, specifically ask them to primarily be teachers. This does have implications for grad programs and I don't know what, but it would certainly clean up undergraduate

Not just in Britain. The grade "scaling" or inflation is rampant in the US, but not nearly as bad as the insane focus on research. The number one job of a professor should be to teach the students of the college.

I've had a couple successes hooking Twilio up to a CouchDB instance for SMS based data collection. This might be an interesting way to start using it. Plus, if you aren't getting too sophisticated, you can just use Couch to handle the API c

Glad to see more companies jumping into the receiving email market. In my experience, it's been incredibly difficult to set up a website that can actually respond properly to emails, though Lamson has helped a lot.

A lot of the discussion here has broken down to arguing the merits of a liberal arts vs. STEM education. I think that that line is a purely personal decision, and the real argument here is career driven vs. "pursuit of knowledge" driven edu

I doubt the author is seriously suggesting a secret cabal of academic administrators meets to "build people into student-drones who blindly memorize information." From my reading, he is suggesting that academia has evolved this way over tim

Agreed, I started reading it thinking I'd be very frustrated afterward, but this has the right amount of detail and no requests that are too unreasonable for a venue to handle. The event sponsor may have to deal with some of the more tricky

I feel like I must be one of the only people on HN who doesn't mind a phone call. Yes, admittedly, I am not hearing impaired, and I do understand the desire to pick your preferred method of communication, but a lot of times it can take me
