   A few thoughts immediately came to mind in regards to your post. 1. You are intelligent. (you finished your degree, considered several options, you are not making a brash decision, and you are seeking advice. All very positive and responsib

   INAL. I'm not sure if there is much you can do. If you open sourced the project in such a way as another party can do what they want, we'll expect them to do whatever they want.

    I took that course a year ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. Writing an AI agent to take IQ tests was a rewarding experience. I'm sure I asked/answered more than a dozen questions during that semester within the Piazza platform and l

    115k reservations in 24 hours. $115m. That is an excellent first day. Assuming there aren't many cancelations, ~$4B+ total by 4Q 2016. Very nice. However, I don't think the hype matched the presentation.
