Why not take a vacation and go find her now? Maybe she still feels the same way.

"First rate people" can work wherever they like. Thiel is going to learn this lesson the hard way. Real innovators don't care about "scenes", "networks", or being featured in Vanity Fair. They just need go

I would have to respectfully disagree. Many, many successful entrepreneurs come from modest backgrounds, with little or no education. What they all have in common is the belief that hard work developing their business and laser focus on the

Phoenix is actually several hours from the border. We host refugee centers all over the city and refugees from many countries settle all over Phoenix. We have a large Middle Eastern population, as well as larger groups from Somalia, Sudan,

LA is over 13 million, and the second largest metro area in the US. Even SF is a larger metro than Phoenix, and both LA and SF are coastal port cities. It makes sense that they should have more diverse populations, especially LA. That'

Really, only Hillary voters can be quality engineers? Because at this point it's Hill vs. Don, and I have a feeling a great portion of us will not be voting for Hill in 2016.

Downtown/Central Phoenix is one of the most diverse cities I have encountered. We have many large refugee communities (I think due to the ease of inclusion, Phoenix being a city of transplants), a very large Hispanic community, and peo

I would disagree. Phoenix weather is fabulous 8 months out of the year, from October until May. It is why we have world class luxury resorts and a huge tourism base. I agree that we have wacky politicians, but so does California! Our mayor

There is very little humidity here. I would say 88 degrees feel more like 72 degrees in a place that is not a desert environment. Also, when you live in Phoenix, your body changes and you truly do acclimate to the heat. Anything under 65 fe

I met my husband at a coffee shop in 1999. He is a software architect. I was reading a book at the time called "Introduction to Theoretical Quantum Computing Concepts" for fun. He saw the title of my book when I walked away from t

Yes, one challenge for the military is educating congress and the American people on new emerging threats so new defense products can be researched, developed, and funded. The global military environment is dynamic and evolving and our defe

I sincerely hope you never need us to defend you. But we would, because Americans roll like that.

by ladytron 12y ago
That may have been true 50 years ago, but not now. The future of military defense is the future of technology: genomics, information systems, robotics, self driving and flying vehicles, nanotechnology. A constant investment in technical cap

So you are content to allow the USA to defend Europe while you spend your money on domestic services? Personally I find it hard to respect those decisions. We end having to protect Europe because we are the only ones who understand defense

The USA has the strongest military in the world. Unlike the Netherlands, we can actually defend ourselves against an aggressor. I would rather come from a strong country than one that needs to rely on others when it comes to defense. Your s

What is a bottom of the barrel techie? The percentage of homeschoolers in the population is extremely low, so it is doubtful that you would see a large group of them anywhere, including YC. I assume a large portion of techie homeschooler&#x

Marie Curie actually taught her kids this way for a few years. A small group of friends (mostly college professors) each picked a subject. Marie designed hands - on experiments to teach the group physics. She and Pierre Curie did not think

Anyone who is not sure of 100% homeschooling can check with your local school district to see if they allow part time students. I'm officially a homeschooler by state law but my kids go to a local public school a few hours a day, four

Theranos imo is a special case. It was founded by a woman with tons of family money and friends in high places. She did not need to play the funding game to get started. I doubt she would have held onto her position today if she had to use

I remember the Hacker News I used to love from 2008. Are we really at a place where someone is trying to build another corral / gatekeeper for yet another "exclusive" group? It used to be using the word "exclusive"

Now take that offer and plan on getting out of this company in the next 6 months. Look for a big multinational with a long term vision with interesting work. You can now go to conferences and network with your new title and pay level. I thi

What about it? Scientists are doing a trial run in Pennsylvania now where they put people with multiple gunshot wounds in suspended animation for up to two hours. They expect little brain damage. Get it up to a few more hours, and I think s

Human cloning + surrogacy + suspended animation ( theraputic hypothermia ) + nerve regeneration + microsurgery = immortality. Theoretically this now seems possible.

This is cute and true. Years ago I managed authors for Barnes and Noble. The best ones, the richest ones, would stay hours talking to their fans. They would sign books, but talk for a long time to each reader, and sometimes these conversati

Nope. Not even a website. Until now we have kept it all to ourselves. I do believe we will be sharing information with possible licensees in the near future though. That's the thing - in the research for hire business secrecy is pretty
