Another data point: My wife is a relatively recent PhD (6 years out). Her experience has been nothing but amazing. When it comes to academia your field of study matters. Alot. My wife is a behavioral accounting researcher, which is a high-d

When I lived in Dallas we had tremendous trouble finding anywhere to live that was "very urban". Outside of a couple of areas in the park cities (which we could never afford) it was really hard to find. Even Downtown was nothing but large

Mountain View is a straight up exurb. It's more dense than your average neighborhood in Dallas, but it has all the hallmarks of exurban design..including blasted curved streets. Where were you San Francisco? While I've never lived there, I'

You don't understand what Patio11 is saying. He wants to know that your product can actually get people to pay up. It's the ultimate in product validation. Until people will pull out that wallet and sign on the dotted line, you don't kno

The unemployment rate for college degree holders has more or less been 50% less than the overall rate for the last several years. College degree holders, as a class, weathered this recession far better than anyone else. http://www.bls.go

All I have to do is take one quick look at unemployment rates to understand just how valuable college is. In the rhetoric over rising costs, the benefits have never been more clear.

Even worse, undoing the damage can take a very long time. It's hard to make the change to exercising and eating right when the results (energy and the like) can be months away.

Big design up front! In my experience you never really understand a problem until you've implemented it. You can describe a problem and a solution in excruciating detail, but you'll never find every corner case. Sometimes (often?) those cor

This is the worlds most valuable company with billions of dollars in the bank. You spend some of that money to make sure that things work. They aren't a start-up, and they have a very real brand to protect. That's the thing, this debacle wa

What has changed? The situation today is much worse than it was in the 60's. We're still relatively antagonistic to several nuclear countries. Severely unstable countries (including former Soviet States) have nuclear stockpiles. Pakistan

That's such a bad argument. I do no such thing. However, the reality of my profession requires me to fly. So I "consent" only under considerable duress. The choice is literally "put food on the table" or submit to incredibly intrusive sec

GET requests, by definition, should have no side-effects. Which makes them cacheable. Many browsers cache GET requests by default unless cache-control tells them not to. You can most definitely write a GET request that contains side-effects

I'd be interested to see how your model works for Senate races. That seems to be the bigger challenge. House races seem to be far to data sparse to be reliable.

Sure, but that really hits on the "big thing" about the moon Mercury/Apollo missions. They had a funding model that allowed them to spend incredible amounts of money with absolutely no expectation of return on that investment. If you put 10
