Its a shame that Tmobile US has such odd gsm frequencies than the rest of the world, and as such are unsupported by any of the FFOS phones so far. With their embracing of prepaid plans combined with inexpensive smart phones could really ope

These days making sure email gets through is about jumping through a huge amount of hoops and having a long term "trusted" track record at the domain level, ip level, etc. Spammers have gotten good, and because of that anti-spam e

Middle group is likely to be primarily made up of linebackers, running backs, with a few of the larger tight ends there as well. These players, while having some responsibility in the passing game are primarily involved in either running th

I seem to remember some interesting stuff about wireless in the US during the Google mapcar fiasco. Something about its not whether its in the clear and broadcast but if people think that it is determining a lot of the law around it. Memory

That is actually pretty terrible advice for a lot of people. Not everyone can/wants to separate sex from intimacy and that can lead to quite a few problems as well.

I've always ballparked that if things fell into place with a project and I walked away with 10M or more I'd be out of the game. However the reality is that people who are ok with cashing out and walking away from the table seem to

Best advice is for everyone to sit tight and not do anything for at least 24 hours. You'll be saving yourself a world of heartburn.

Instagram had a nice post on how they did their PK generation/sharding a couple years back. Still a good read, http://instagram-engineering.tumblr.com/post/10853187575/sha... . Previously discuss here, http:&

Intense, and newly sharpened, focus on earnings is a common trait of new fathers. Its a beneficial trait, but one that has to be appropriately governed. A nice bit of prose about that struggle and the ways we coddle ourselves as we get too

The fees are absolutely ridiculous. My wife got a ticket a few weeks ago for having a brake light out. County has a standing order that allows routine citations like that be paid outside of court for $15 and showing a receipt for repair (or

I think getting exposed to things early is a big part of it. Young minds are very malleable. Of course you're not able to understand things completely at a young age (or any age), but those things you can understand and continue to be

I'd guess Neel hasn't put anything on his resume for about the last decade. My company worked hard on recruiting him about that long ago and his reputation was already well established then.

There has been a seemingly endless number of articles the last few years about how "affordable" top tier schools can be for kids coming from lower/middle income families. This is the natural progression from that.
