Thanks for the great reply. I want to end my trip by spending 3 months in Spain learning Spanish. I'm thinking of Valencia because I think it'll be fairly warm there even during winter months, it's somewhat central, I hear it

I've only been in CM for ~1 week and have spent most of the time working (or late night partying with Europeans / expat Americans). I spent 2 weeks in Bangkok before.... I think there is "authentic" Thai here and in Bang

Curious - when you travel, how do you find families to live with? That sounds really fun. - On week 3 of a (hopefully) ~9mos trip, in Chiang Mai.

Work really hard in high school and get into a great college (NB: this takes more than just grades - extracurriculars, etc). Study a subject that you like and will lead to a career that enables you to satisfies the base of Maslows pyramid

This is a really interesting path. Could you supply more info for each phase? Like a sentence or two and the maybe the time you spent on each?

Not sure if I follow. I like to read everything on e-book - one reason being that I tend to highlight a lot, and it's nice getting a summary of the highlights.

I've read that Henry Ford came up with the 8 hour work week after doing extensive testing[1]. I think the difference here is that assembly line work is not "creative". So you can do "non-creative work" for longer (8

he wasn't always privileged. I'm guessing this schedule is from later in life, after the bulk of his accomplishments. He worked his way up from next to nothing.

Agreed that the clusters is interesting! Having bots visit girls with high match percentage and thereby direct in-bound messages from girls seems huge as well. Seems like girls are more likely to message you if you have such a high match. H

In the 2010 version of this course, we implemented paxos on one of the later labs. It was considered one of the hardest I think.

I took this course in 2010 when it was in C++. In addition to reading papers, as mentioned below, there were one or two tests. I say this is one of the tougher CS classes, though probably my favorite.

Does this mean Americans that haven't protested or denounced their citizenship are just as guilty for the sometimes awful things the American government does?

I had a discussion with a friend of mine who is a postdoc in Nuclear Physics and he said that the type of reactor Iran chose to build only makes sense if you are trying to make a weapon... Something to the effect of better/more standard nuc

The Idea Factory was also a book where a guy journed his struggles through MIT grad school (mech engineering I think). Was interesting though gloomy: http://www.amazon.com/The-Idea-Factory-Learning-Think/dp/026...

This is awesome. Didn't see a mention of node anywhere... Once Chrome supports this, anyone have an idea how difficult NodeJS integration will be? Am particularly interested in Coffee w/ NodeJS :)

During my last semester at MIT, I really wanted to take the sailing class. It always fills up pretty fast, and I was late registering. Clearly, my only option for getting into the class was to show my passion for sailing by coming dressed a

Unfortunately, not sure if this would happen through MITx. The standard MIT curriculum doesn't have a Ruby on Rails course. It has project classes in which you could choose to develop with Rails, but courses don't really teach languages, sa

It's certainly useful, though it looks like it's just attaching choice-words to the beginning and end of the word I entered. It's not clear from looking at the results what TLDs\ each result is, though it appears to only return .com. What a
