"Fed’s goal: get the U.S. inflation rate to 2%": This is partially true, since the Fed's goal is also to maximize employment[1]. So really, they should add employment rates in these different categories as well. Which makes t

Dan Boney is awesome. I really like that he is sharing his classes and materials online (I would highly recommend his classes in Stanford[0] and his coursera class[2] as well). I think this is still a work in progress / draft so don&#x

If you remove the password, how is that a two factor? The day you loose your phone/get robbed could lead to your worst nightmares. Definitely would never opt-in. I loose my phone all the time (I know...), but I am pretty sure I am not

You are not wrong, Greece is a deadbeet right now. They already are living on life support from the EU-IMF, and have been for more than a year. What's wrong is that, we gave them money and forced them to do reforms (reforms that France

I was actually delighted to read a blog post explaining that some people actually live off gittip these days[1]. I hope that these guys can make it even easier for developers to live off of open-source work. Note: I wish the y=10% bounty fo

I don't think a small team of people can be better than Google or Apple in building a speech to text technology. However, leveraging the tools available to help the deaf is the main idea - at least at the beginning - I think. Going for
