If you get the first one wrong the rest of the list will not matter at all. The most important questions are, who will my advisor be? What is the completion rate for graduate students under their care? What kind of personal network does the

The thing is, I kinda identify with Charlie. I rather enjoy getting it done and it's the kind of thing that keeps the ship sailing smoothly. Sometimes you can derive a strange appreciation from thwacking rats in the basement, so to spe

I thought it nailed a lot of dynamics at my last gig as well. Of course, I joined for the challenges of scaling and wrote an ETL framework in Rails (that was a mixed bag but very instructive) and then got bored after I realized how small ou

I would love to see an expert analysis of the game, but there were definitely a few moves where AlphaGo was "pushing from behind" that were probably not what an expert human would play.

It's funny to realize that a DAC can go on existing even after its creators may have been charged or imprisoned for breaking a law or regulation. I don't agree with the CFTC but I acknowledge their power.

That smart contract was written by a person and they should realize that there might be legal repercussions in the US at least. I have a great interest in this space (I started a failed cryptocurrency options exchange myself) and I hope tha

Very interesting, I hope you are not in the United States. I doubt the CFTC would take too kindly to this especially since they are binary options. Good luck!

Maybe this isn't a city government problem but a federal one. What would you think about re-enacting homesteading? About half the land in this country is federally owned. Why not offer 50 acres and a trailer to whomever would be willin

I'm still at an early design phase but I intend to be loud about it when I am at a sharable point. I'm building it as a "rapid prototyping" language that combines some of the best (and to some, worst) features of J, Perl

This could imply that (a) the exterior folds are far more important than the inner volume or (b) we shouldn't discount interstitial fluid as being inert with respect to cognition in these cases. Though the absence of lissencephaly case

Bravo. In the long run the people most harmed by the full implementation of these schemes will be the underclass they purport to aid. The people that are supposed to pay for all of this are by definition the people who are clever enough and

Yes! This was one of the biggest things I missed when I moved to Ruby. I try and tell people how great autovivification is but unless they've coded with it the feature just sounds strange. But it lets you build some really great data s
