Anyone has a good summary of Scala vs Go? I know a bit of the former (with typeface for high-concurrency) and was wondering what Go might have to offer.

I think it's a bit off on the predictions relating to energy. The best way to explain why is to borrow from Vinod Khosla's theory of energy black swans, and assume that the forms of energy we know and make use of today are going to be repla

This is kind of cool. I'd love to see a demo. I'm in Palo Alto.

I looked at the site as well. I'm curious how you plan to differentiate from say Nest or Android@Home.

That abstract is epic. It would be funny if all scientists made a mention of the impact of their research on interstellar highly-relativistic flight.

Can't up vote this comment either. Just the reel to reel player is a joke.

Just to be clear, he's not "leaving." He got fired. He got fired because after the map fiasco became apparent, he refused to send out an apology or sign his name to the one Tim Cook sent. (internal knowledge)

So... can we now all agree that Tim Cook is a good CEO?

Ah, good catch! I remember a while back comparing CNT prices per gram versus gold and it was something like $20 a gram for gold. Must have been a low then. Thanks for catching it.

material scientist here. I've worked on carbon nanotubes (cnt if you want to sound cool) for a few years. Looking at them under the electron microscope, I've always wondered how in the hell we'd ever line them up without having to recourse

This is great! The other day I was wondering if anyone had tried to build an open-source Splunk equivalent. I'll look into your guys' stuff. thanks for the ref!

Splunk is a great tool for any sort of logs, and that includes user events and so forth. Basically, if you log it, Splunk will index it, and then you can find ways to search it, correlate it, reverse-analyze it... the whole nine-yards. Howe

Google analytics is great for basic web stuff (getting origin of requests and so forth). KISSMetric is phenomenal as well. If you do email marketing, I think SendGrid might be a good option to measure email engagement metric, on top of not

It's an interesting experiment. If it succeeds, it would be ironic that the solution to America's public transportation is coming from Detroit: after all, GM & co are the guys who bought America's trolleys in the 1950's and disassembled

When I first opened the iOS6 timer and the stopwatch, and saw the neon style button, I was a bit confused. It looks very nice but I thought it broke with design patterns of iOS in terms of color scheme, ambiance, typography (all cap text la

Yes, but those who carry out the peer-review, are the researchers themselves: at times, at little to no cost to the publisher, simply because the reviewing scientist (and the postdoc she/he usually assigns to do the grunt work) get the "pre

RANT: Anyone here interested in the underlying issue of academic publishing? To me, the very notion that publicly (or privately for that matter) funded academic research gets locked behind paywalls of organizations that have not contributed

I applaud the fact that this isn't just a post about "how to learn" to code; however, I think there is a need to specify that some of these references are not entirely necessary for a decent subset of programmers. For example, you listed Co

Please look into the B category first (both b1 & B2), for the 3 months period. After YC, if you get funding, as a founder you should look at the E visa category. I believe E2 visa is the one for founders with secured funding that can re
