That's what I thought. However, this article ( http://lifehacker.com/how-to-install-linux-on-a-chromebook-a... ) mentions crouton and being able to run Ubuntu. For instance, can I use apt-get, containers, etc.? Seems lik

I'm a bit confused (did skim article only). Is this running ChromeOS or Linux? Can I get steam games like stardew valley to run on it?

You should check out the parks/beaches in some towns in Westchester and CT (e.g. around Greenwich). It is a disgrace that they have people sitting there enforcing access (e.g. residency).

There is already an inventory: https://news.ycombinator.com/jobs See the link on the menu bar at the top. Also, constants ads would be a bad distraction. I'd definitely try to block it or leave the site.

I thought this is an extremely inaccurate portrayal of CS PhDs who want to get into good startups. Pretty much all the PhDs I know can hack prodigious amounts of code and are not totally incompetent socially. Where they lack are mature sw d

At maker faire SF there was a $10-$15 kids plastic watching making kit some association was selling. Search for Horology, AWCI ( http://www.awci.com/ ). I have been obsessed with lego-based pendulum clocks for a while as well

I don't think it is going to be easy. If you had a SQL db, moving to a different one would be hard enough. GraphDBs are quite unstandardized last time I looked. Migrating the data is one thing, changing a lot of application logic is go

Woah Woah .. how does one get a VR headset to run on a Mac? Are they referring to a macbook pro and Oculus?

Who gives you unlimited data in Canada? I checked with Fido and Freedom pop and they both said they don't offer it.

Not true. NaCl is pretty big in some areas of Consumer Electronics.

If only these things had screws! My biggest issue was opening it up (popping out the screen, digitizer, etc.) and putting it together back to its original state.

I loved my N5 but the battery wasn't user replaceable. I am not one to crack open my phone (plus the power switch died). I got a 5x .. decent phone but had speed slowdowns since day 1. I made the mistake of getting a 16 GB version (lac

Your comment is spot on about the tech (won't comment on the social points). The weight check is broken. If you have to pay for bags, you want to use the least bags possible. This is incompatible with the operation of all the check out

Check out the 8020 set. That is what I grew up with. Beautiful models (in my eye as a kid and as an adult), and an amazing number of them with the same set. But I don't disagree with your points. I think if you lose control over any ho

Thanks .. had no idea. What is the name of the book if I may ask?

This is the artificial scarcity problem I mentioned ... there is no reason one cannot pay extra, heck 100% extra, and get any set from Lego's catalogue on demand.

One factor that greatly limits my use of VR is that it is so uncomfortable with glasses on. I've seen people propose hacks and kickstarter projects. I don't understand why the people leading VR are turning a blind eye to the probl

As an adult who has had to deal with a Lego addiction, my suggestion is IF you have an addictive personality and not money to burn - please .. don't start. I sunk 1-2 grand into sets - for me it wasn't worth it. The old legos wer

Did you make FU money during the last boom? I missed it. 38 now ... don't really see a path out of the rat race.

So .. I'm a professional scientist. ACM isn't a fly-by-night operation. It is very similar to IEEE in terms of stature. In CS, I consider ACM conferences slightly higher tier but this is not a hard and fast rule. Yes .. they do se

Not the same as the US. In the US, if you lose your job, you lose health care. That is a big motivator for people with families. I've seen people take a lot of crap in the name of a job. In Canada, it is not that bad unless you took a

Exactly. A USD 200K software eng simply cannot move to Canada. It is messed up. That is more than a director or higher's salary in a place like Toronto.

Parent's mistake is to maintain the same lifestyle. If you settle for less housing or room mates, you come across ahead.

If salaries and housing prices in Canada were at all reasonable, I know many fellow Canadians would move back from the Bay area in an instant. Toronto is the other major tech center which is stupidly priced (hopefully the new govt measures
