Exactly. Which is why I said "goodbye" to my hard-won Dolores Park apartment and set up shop in Silicon Beach. The commutes between the places you'd want to live and want to work are relatively short, there are many members of the opposit

I'd like to bump my friend's band: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOt6EGgBnQs Bit Brigade - they speedrun NES games while playing the music live, metal style.

Essentially. At the lower end of the scale the majority of tax paid is FICA, which is almost increasing by 50%. I don't know how tax credits will affect the refund situation at the end of the year, but this will be the actual effect on pa

This is going to be incredibly big for the protein structure predictors as well. Most of the best models incorporate bond-breaking and conformational switching moves as described in the function of this protein, but the vast combinatorial

That's a fascinating paper, thanks.

One strategy if you're already in SF or SV is to figure out the places that tech folks congregate and passively get leads while doing other work. When I moved to SF a few months ago and was jobhunting I would go to Four Barrel Coffee in th

Yes, and under current law that is set to go down to $1,000,000 in less than three months. It is not a tax on the "one percent".

I'm still searching for the blog post I was thinking about; I apologize for not being able to yet locate it. The statement about doing "real work" is right on the money for why and how this experiential model might transfer into other indus

I can't remember who wrote this, but someone recently was blogging about YCombinator being the future of the educational and credentialing system. Stories like this make me believe the author's premise.

I will tell you that if you are looking to move into software and are currently "a couple of years" from finishing a math PhD you need to re-evaluate your chances of finishing your PhD. PhD's are difficult programs, especially in the final

Many years ago when I thought I was going to go into patent law (egads) I ended up taking the Fundamentals of Engineering exam and passing it as an Engineer-In-Training. Does this mean I can do four years of software engineering and then c

Well I guess I'll pat myself on the back for always using git. Having seen a lab's major university research project literally evaporate due to lack of proper version control I've been keen on it ever since. Besides, I like the increment

No, you're not the only one. I think the author would have written an article about Henry Ford opening his first plant and called it "The Death of the Horseless Carriage"! He is probably right that the buzzword will evolve at some point,

We did our weekly hackathon this week and for some reason chose J as our language of choice . . . we watched this afterwards and laughed maniacally. We all want APL keyboards now.

The creator was right, manufacturing a firearm for your own personal use is quite legal in the U.S.A. - it doesn't even have to be serialized (though this is a good practice). At the same time we now have an application for 3D printing tha

Mr. Pollo at 24th and Mission (SF) is a really great example of this trend and probably the best meal I've had in the city. It's great when creative types find the right scale to maximize their creativity and personal enjoyment in what the

Ah, the long-storied September announcement. Pretty good idea overall. I'd be happiest seeing a set of security best-practices agreed upon and some sort of mechanism for organizations and businesses to elect for auditing.

Yes but the big problem really boils down to "What % of the total bitcoin deposits are in the hot wallet at any given time?" To me bitcoin security should first be concerned with minimizing this number in any way possible. Hacks will happ

I think the first and most expensive hire should be a top-notch security expert. There have been too many screw-ups in the Bitcoin space and a hack at this level of prominence would be disastrous for the community.

I hope they can pull this off. They have a great product and solid engineering - hopefully the economics can follow. I think this is going to be a success regardless of the financial future of Tesla itself. The engineering innovations sh
