It's neat to see mid-sized cities succeed in attracting and building talent. Having specialized centres like this takes some pressure off of the Valley and encourages different viewpoints and perhaps approaches that you might not get o

So perhaps an algorithm that combines soundex with Levenshtein distance would handle this?

I am very lucky, the core of my city has a practically untouched river valley running through it. My kids play in the creek and woods near the river every day. But from there we are a 10 minute walk to downtown. Are there no wild places dow

I understand that there are indeed cases where statically typed languages make a lot of sense. But anecdotally, I use ruby for web apps, and honestly in millions of lines I have written, I have rarely run into issues because the language is

Same here, on the other side of the country.

I should point out that your link doesn't work for me. I should also point out that it is unwise to claim absolute authority in science, especially the biological sciences.

Just to clarify, they don't use a scalpel anymore (getting snipped next month).

You may be right, I think I am able to generally filter out FUD posts, and there is still a high concentration of quality exchanges that I enjoy. My comment stemmed from the fact that I've noticed this trend to be more extreme than usu

The herd mentality I am seeing regarding recent Apple announcements, from a supposedly intelligent, introspective group of people on HN, is frankly disappointing.

That makes sense. I guess my followup question would be whether this impacts how healthy the food is. I guess soy beans and tofu and metabolized differently, but it's my understanding that tofu is still very good for you. Same with pea

I'll have that as well, usually with a soylent. An apple and nuts just doesn't leave you feeling very full for long.

Can you please expand on how they are different? A powdered bean or powdered rice contains the same macro and micronutrients. Perhaps the quality of the fiber would be different?

I have two young kids and a startup. The idea that I should view each meal as an opportunity to be enjoyed is honestly a pipe dream right now. I enjoy as many of my meals as I can with my family. But when the kids are sick or I'm runni

As someone who has purchased and maintained dozens of MacBooks over the years, I suspect you have a lemon. Have you run memtest, etc on it?

I don't see this either, but I don't have Flash installed. Could that be the culprit?

It was nice of them, but I honestly think they just didn't know what to do. It was 1991 in Fort McMurray, Canada.

When I was 12 I was the hub for FidoNet mail in my smallish town. I was tweaking the settings before heading on vacation. We left the next morning, and returned a week later. We came home to an official notice from the police to contact the

Nice! Another great site with gorgeous pathways is the Small Molecule Pathway Database ( http://smpdb.ca ).

Very cool! This is very much needed, I hope it takes off. Open, iterative approach, using open source tools, and early beta with clear objectives, this isn't the FDA I'm used to. They seem to have taken the concept of forking app

Yes! This is exactly how it used to work.

I would argue more that Firefox opened the door and Chrome entered.

It's amazing how much you can innovate and improve a learning environment when the basic needs of all children are met in society. I don't think this would work in public schools in North America.
