As a Wash U student, my mind was blown to see that this is right on the Loop, rather than somewhere in San Francisco. Good sign for the STL developer community.

"Drivers who may be drawn to the novelty may begin to fret over service and parts." While Tesla certainly needs to build our a service and parts infrastructure, this will likely be far less challenging than with a normal car. This is becaus

The idea that Tesla has little innovative technology is simply wrong. The majority of their R&D has gone into their battery technology, and it has given them a huge leg up on their competitors. The Tesla Model S will go up to 300 miles

It would be rather convenient if they did, though - ITA is in Cambridge, MA and Kayak has an R&D center about 20 minutes away in Concord, MA.

SpaceX is, in my opinion, the most interesting company operating today. Bar none. I'm very excited to see where they go.

While I expect it could take years to get to the level of being able to design an interesting IC, could anyone recommend some good online EE introductory material?

The outward effect of a liberal arts education is being a more knowledgeable citizen, better able to think about the world around you. I'd say that goes a bit beyond conversations over cocktails.

While this will provide interesting insight into group dynamics on such a long trip, I don't think it will necessarily tell us how astronauts will feel and act on an actual Mars trip. On Earth, you could theoretically "get off" at any point

While it's hard to know if the distribution of any given city is the result of this trend, St. Louis is certainly a great example - East St. Louis is tied with Opa-Locka, FL as the most dangerous city in the United States.

A crowbar would likely be a more effective method of dispatching them, from prior experience.

"Today my advice to a young developer who is passionate about building great software is to drop out." Perhaps a young developer might have other goals in life in addition to building great software? Dropping out of college could certainly

Personally, I just write. I write pages and pages of stream-of-consciousness thinking about the application, everything from how it will look to how the backend will function to how it will make money. Once I'm done with that, I sleep on it

"Steve Jobs himself called Gizmodo editorial director Brian Lam to personally request that Gizmodo return the iPhone to Apple" I imagine not going volcanic on that call was the hardest thing Steve Jobs has ever done.

Until a decentralized platform can give me a stream of what all my friends are up to and the ability to see what any individual friend is up to, it won't be anywhere near adequate.

I do not at all agree that Facebook wants to bring the Web within its borders in the way AOL did. Facebook pages are nothing more than streams of messages and links about a business, and Facebook is actually moving away from canvas-type F

I disagree with that analogy. AOL was trying to put the entirety of the internet within its walled garden: the Web, games, email, everything. Facebook is only trying to dominate one space: communicating with your friends. Admittedly, that i

Certain companies (like Braintree) offer a service where the credit card data is POSTed directly to their server, relieving you of most aspects of PCI compliance.

You should start a new account - the hand-holding in their registration process is very well done, helping you find all your friends and start talking to them.

Further: "Microsoft and AOL tried to purchase Synapse and recruit Zuckerberg, but he decided to attend Harvard University instead." The guy was almost recruited out of high school by Microsoft and AOL. If that isn't impressive, I don't know

Applying for that now, thanks for the idea. Looks fantastic.

Exactly, I am absolutely incapable of getting my brain not to interpret what a speaking voice is saying.

It threw me when I read it, as it's one of those instances where the implied meaning is completely opposite to the literal meaning.

This change was accompanied by a switch to single-stream recycling - that is, all recyclable materials can be deposited in one bin and sorted later. From what I've seen, this change has significantly increased recycling. Could you give some

On a related note, my school (Washington University in St. Louis) has recently changed the labels on all trash cans from "Trash" to "Landfill." It's amazing how much that little switch makes you think carefully about everything you're throw

While there are certainly people (especially on HN) who are unwilling to give Facebook this kind of control, I don't think it will be a problem for the vast majority of users. In my opinion, the power of having an identity behind all of you

This is very well made, great job. A few things: - Why do I have to choose the best square thumbnail picture? Facebook already provides you with pic_square through their API. - Profile thumbnails are not loading unless I view the user's pro
