My biased summary: Unsurprisingly, a report by the right-wing “Manhattan Institute” takes extreme joy in the 2010 Census numbers showing New York State “losing” 1.6MM people, declining in population from 18.97MM people in 2000 to a new low

I think what I was thinking of was "Dynamic Queries: database searching by direct manipulation" which is linked off here: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/pubs/video92.shtml . That may not be as applicable as I thought it was.

Faceted search over a network connected was demonstrated in a video education series (some sort of HCI distance education class) hosted by Ben Schneiderman of the university of maryland in the fall of 1992. I don't have a link or more conc

Your host isn't bound by the first amendment unless it's a US government entity (which I find extremely unlikely). The US First Amendment restricts government restrictions on speech, not private entities. What you can do is register a DMC

You don't get to decide what's illegal or incriminating, the court and justice system do. Just because you don't think it's incriminating doesn't mean it can't be used against you.

Also: you need to find out what the tax implications are of RSUs. If it’s considered to be $2500 in income each year you may end up paying tax on that even though the RSUs are not liquid, and will only have value if the company has a liqui

Scenario 3: the startup hasn't done a 409a pricing of its stock yet. They're committing $10k of RSUs at whatever the valuation ends up being. If it’s $10/share then you receive 1000 RSUs. If it’s $5/share, then it’s 2000 RSUs. If $100/share

Understanding that New York City is anathema to anyone north of I–84, still, you might consider spending some time in NYC before moving cross–country. Join nextny ( http://nextny.org/ ) or the NY Tech Meetup ( http://nytm.org ).

You have to do what’s best for you. My only advice is to be very careful with any termination agreement you are asked to sign, ideally have it reviewed by a lawyer.

May want to verify how you're parsing the data set, am finding several ZIP codes which are close, but not quite. For example 12590 is drawn accurately (as I recall, haven't lived there in a decade), but when I enter 12603 I get the same ma

What's the source for your ZIP code data? The data for 11201 is very wrong (11201 is in Brooklyn, geolayr displays it as Governor's Island, Ellis & Liberty Islands).

I don't have any advice for you, just questions: Are they interested in you? Your technology/product? Your customer base? Do they compete/provide services in "your space"? Companies do acquisitions for a variety of reasons but they boil dow

IBM has spent the past 15 years getting only farther away from consumer facing businesses. This one is a non-starter.

I use Reader daily. Kind of surprised that people rely on the menu to find it and not the 1990s technology of…a bookmark.

Do you know or have a sense of who’s controlling the crawler? Much as I hate involving lawyers, that might be appropriate here. I take it you don't do any sort of authentication which you could use to differentiate your real customers from

The shift to 3.5" disks occurred in 1983-1984. I recall the very initial Lisas shipped with a 5¼ disk, but switched to 3.5 later in 1983, the Mac shipped with 3.5 disks (but possibly only single-sided/400k). The Apple 2 line shifted to 3.5
