It's a huge pain in the ass to hire an american (compared to an EU resident), so it's not worth it unless they bring something awesome to the table.

One of the reasons Mountain view is a good test bed is the comparative absence of weather. The LIDAR system the car relies on doesn't work in rain, snow, or fog. Also, it would have a lot of trouble with the massive changes to roads an

It really depends on the application and area of study. There is no "one best" language for all of scientific computing. For some things R is the best, for others SPSS, and for some matlab. The larger the datasets and the more com

Modern features tend to mean fancy-3d-compositing-features which are not lightweight. I do think the default LXDE theme looks rather windows 2000/Gnome 2.6. However, changing the theme is not hard and LXDE can use any XFCE themes. Hope

I think you might be having trouble with the math. it's not 14% of female founders rejected, its 14% of rejected founders were female (while about 13% of accepted founders were female). There's no male persecution going on here.
