   Since this Asimov essay is about groups functioning in a space, Brett Victor's seeing spaces talk also seems rather relevant. Give people new ways to think about things, and great places for them to think together.

    I'm working on http://usebloom.com for the foreseeable future with another Thiel Fellow. I find I learn best by reading books and talking with smart people, both of which can be done outside an academic setting, so I'v

    First year Thiel Fellow here. Just wanted to add that the Thiel Foundation(who oversee the program) isn't necessarily against going back to school and never have been. They've been very open that for some projects, academia is a

    I've been using a graph db as my primary database with my last project(neo4j) and it has been a pleasure. I wish a good graph database was hooked in with the new Google Cloud stuff so it could be queried/visualized/performanc

    Sous vides are great because they actually allow you to measure things properly. Do you consider pressure cooking "modern" because that's also great. There's also some cool stuff you can do with a whipping siphon[0] [0]

    Why is this comment downvoted? Is it because of the <i> in probably? I've never researched this personally but have heard evidence supporting this from people who have.

    I've been using Elasticsearch as a primary database for my new project, which has basically been a good NoSQL db that happens to have great search. However, peripheral tools(performance testing, hosting) have been a bit rough. How do t
