Skyscrapers don't have private heliports in New York. That was my point. Even the "Goldman Sachs" heliport is in New Jersey.

Most engineers as described in the article come from the developer group described in the article. I've found most hackers end up in systems administration, wall street, security, etc. Situations where there is a lot of work that invol

Is it unreasonable to expect such a thing? Yes, because outside of the movies, the USA doesn't seem very good at that sort of thing. How would they seal team six someone out of Moscow, Ecuador or Hong Kong?

That was more of an acquihire because Topspin was going nowhere and Beats by Dre has a lot of money.

Yeah, there's all sorts of reminders of civil rights abuses in secondary school history classes. That said, American culture isn't as heavy on shame as German culture is. It's presented more like, here's some crappy stuf

It's weirder than being a spy because presumably a spy wouldn't have made the whole affair public. It looks more like he got himself in over his head and now is being manipulated by others.

Infographics are increasingly made by software people like Ben Fry. The NYT has a whole team dedicated to these sorts of graphics.

I disagree. Tourists in museums are generally bored by the classical/baroque/renaissance art section and entertained by the weird stuff in the contemporary section. If their jaws are agape it's because they are falling asleep

Nothing, because there are about a thousand colleges one can get into with dismal SAT scores.

At this point, if Wikileaks doesn't publish the docs Snowden has, this whole incident is a farce.

I could see how Chicago PD could use that APC/Tank vehicle, but not sure why the Nebraska highway patrol would ever need one.

I wouldn't have guessed that Marissa Mayer ever threatened to beat nerds up, but I guess I've never met her.

Well what I meant by that is that they are already privately owned on small lots. Even if zoning permitted it, it wouldn't work to build a 20 unit apartment building in between two of these: http://sfcitizen.com/blog&#x

This isn't 1996. The douchey executives who invented the calibration scores also have EECS degrees from Stanford.

Hmm... I'm not sure I understand what you're asking regarding Manhattan. Do I think SF will ever be like Manhattan? No. I was just wondering where new high density housing in SF could be built.
