   IANAL, but here's what I did for SeqCentral. 1) Look around the web for the Terms and Policies from similar companies. (Since SeqCentral is SaaS provider, I looked at GitHub, 37 Signals, and our competitors.) 2) Look at the Wikipedia pages

   This is something I've been thinking about for awhile now that I'm pursuing my own startup. Coming from a background in HPC, my papers were published using prototypes and proof-of-concepts. On the other hand, a product needs to work at al

   Thanks for the notice and posting the link. In my opinion, the one critical piece often overlooked is the UX/UI component. If you know of similar events on the East coast, please let me know.

   I looked this up the other day and came across the following on TSA.gov: "Even prior to the passage of ATSA and the Federalization of the screening work force, Federal courts upheld warrantless searches of carry-on luggage at airports. Cour

   Thanks for taking the time to explain this along with the 1000bits and 256bits example. I've known about bloom filters for quite some time, but never quite understood the statistics. In my area of research, sequence alignments (aka. sequenc

    Just wanted to follow up here that aonic and I conversed offline through email; he was very helpful. The skinny -- look at nginx + fcgi, design for separating read-only traffic (SELECT) from write-only traffic (INSERT, UPDATE), think about

    I'd highly recommend to not "immerse yourself in learning a language" (highly paraphrased). What makes you think the language-du-jour will be relevant in 2 years? 5 years? 10 years? In my opinion, the point of a CompSci degree is to under

    There are a lot of good comments here and many with different take-away messages. Speaking from experience from a similar situation, my own take-away is a conglomeration of @mcargian, @jellicle, and @RiderOfGiraffes: $550 for 30 hours is a

    Given the "web-scale" and SaaS trend, I'm actually surprised that you don't have more comments here (or maybe you just got a lot of emails). Anyhow, I would be happy to have a second-opinion of my "MP" portion now that my company ( https://

    Wow. This is an amazing offer of service. A SaaS company I just launched ( https://www.seqcentral.com ) could use some UX/UI help on the internal application pages. To see the internal pages, you can simply create a free account. The jobs/d

    Two comments: I like the idea of a "reddit for PhDs" because the community would "upvote" on the papers that are deemed important. You may need to have to have a different way of choosing which papers make the front page because papers don'

    Sunir, If you are not heavily invested in the name "Bibdex" for your company, you might want to look at changing the name because "BibDesk" ( http://bibdesk.sourceforge.net/ ) already exists as an usable product organizing publications. Spe

    At the very least, the OP should talk to someone in person or on the phone about this. There are simply too many possibilities to adequately answer this for a production deployment. Some questions that I (as a former SysAd) would ask: 1)

    While I understand your concern, a feature of gitflow IMO is that you can switch between git and gitflow as you wish. Personally, I like the constraints that gitflow creates because it simplifies the process of pushing out releases. Since t

    In my own startup we're using git to handle our version control as well. As mentioned in the article, git is flexible enough to allow you to create your own workflow, which is what we did when we started. However, our workflow became much t

    As someone who is about to have gone through the process twice of starting from scratch and launching (with a team of at most 3), I recommend that you use your time wisely . The first time through, we had my design up for the first 1.5 yea

    Are you looking for a project no one has done yet? Or a project to simply learn from? As an HPC programmer I can tell you that there are lots of scientific applications that you could try. However, I'd suggest that you start with something
