There are so many colleges in Boston, though - probably MIT is the most stressful place in the Boston area :)

Cryptographers are computer scientists/developers, though. If you want to do something "real," other than make pretty buttons, that is, you're going to have to do some math.

With 0% interest loans (lots are available for students), 10k tuition + 10k a year in living sounds pretty reasonable considering that college graduates make about 98% more per hour [1] on average than those with only high school diplomas.

I think there was also some sort of MCAS requirement - I just know that myself and many of my friends were granted the opportunity to go to UMass for nearly free (basically just housing) based upon our GPA / MCAS. I think the John and

Right, I guess I'm assuming that students receive scholarships, which isn't at all unreasonable at state schools like UMass or UVM (don't know about other areas). Most of my friends going to UVM / UMass are going for fre

Public universities are super cheap - in my state (Massachusetts), UMass Amherst is less than 10k a year if you graduate with above a certain (easy to attain) GPA. I think one of the largest issues is with people deciding to forgo cheap, go

I don't think that post is the same situation at all - there, Crew made side projects that became popular and then received traffic from them. Here, corporate sponsors skew which tools a ChallengePost employee recommends for hackers -

Probably not - heavily taxed cities controlled by democrats, like Boston, New York City, San Francisco, etc are the most successful in the US.

We tried to do that with our Cordova project and it wasn't this straightforward at all - we weren't even accessing the hardware. Some main points are behaviors when opening URLs, a completely unresponsive canvas, and slow renderin

To add another anecdote, we just wrapped a webapp [0] and it was accepted. It's pretty easy to get into the app store, it's my understanding that Apple stopped truly vetting apps (there are some pretty terrible, broken apps on the

Cool demo [0]. The highlights around the text editor and the ambiguity of the buttons' functions (what does a button labelled "ಠ.ಠ" intuitively mean?) ruin parts of the demo for me though. Maybe consider using a different col
