This is pretty grim. On the one hand it is good that the White house had a hackathon. On the other hand they didn't. Nothing interesting really got built, the time limit was brutally restrictive and it might be childish to say but seeing ev

There's an old saying that you shouldn't argue with someone who buys ink by the barrel. It's still broadly true. Regardless of the dwindling influence of newspapers, arguing with the NYT doesn't sell cars but it does generate clicks for the

It still has to be remembered that many people don't live to 70. Even today people working in hard manual labor and black men in general are pretty lucky to get to 70. People who are healthy and able to work should not be living on retireme

Imagine this concept coming from school. I cant imagine the amount of bloat facebook will have for younger users. Having a thousand friends entirely from before college would make me jump to a new network as soon as it became popular on cam

There's always the problem of when. While it's becoming more likely that a life supporting planet exists outside our solar system, we have the problem that mankind's recorded history is measured in thousands of years (and more than likely w

I don't understand. The merits of hating / supporting a magazine is one thing. However achieving something of note before thirty is hardly an easy thing and not really something I'd criticize just to criticize. If you don't take support fro

I think the real concern with this is not that we’ll have fewer people in Japan (a good thing) but that the system can’t support contraction. If you have a workforce in their thirties who are still at entry level positions or thereabouts, a

I'm really interested that MIT is now top of the board considering it's a relatively small university. It makes me wonder if this is going to become a situation like when Slashdot attempted to poll for best graduate cs department and it was

One of the things I've always wondered was would Airtime have worked if Parker had decided to cap initial investment at a few hundred thousand dollars or less. He would have failed quickly, he would have known if it was a real product, and

I did a liberal arts degree and some time afterwards a CS masters. To me I got educated by doing arts and got qualified by doing CS. Being exposed to challenging opinions on what it means to live is not going to come up in an engineering in

Programming is an adult way to treat a computer as opposed to the absolute infantilism most people approach their computers, or devices with. It's as much to say I understand that what happens on the hardware end is what is happening as the
