Wow, $9 for a single pair of socks is steep! I was going to join because I thought it was per year, but I guess that's too good to be true. BTW, I'd go up to $20/year for this, even just as a quirky gift for someone.

Out of curiosity, do you have any experience with which pieces of hardware cause problems? For iOS dev, I can only forsee requiring functional display and Ethernet drivers.

I would vastly prefer a $130 investment in an OS over spending more on even a used Mac Mini. Part of me finds the whole Mac-hardware-only for iOS dev abhorrent, but you simply must develop for ios these days. Thanks.

And so does the consumer's concern at that point, who is paying for a link with a guaranteed bandwidth. How they accomplish that beyond my home wall jack is simply not my concern, just like I don't care where the electricity in my sockets i

Nope, you're fine. The only thing more ubiquitous than people judging each other is people proclaiming how bad that is.

In my experience (I worked on convergence analysis of some early GAs), genetic algorithms suffer from a combination of extremely easy implementation, a "cool" factor that plagued neural-networks-as-classifiers research in the early 90s, and

Interesting, but I wonder how merchants will put up with strong, Groupon-like demand for a single item. Also, this stood out for me: "Banking on the fact that restaurants can’t take stellar pictures of their own food (food pics are a big d

Your issue applies to any system that can pull executable code from the web and dynamically execute it, including almost every scripting language. You could pull the password before it hits the browser plugin. There is no remedy to this und

At some point, you're going to have to trust software that someone else has written. I understand that you see Appleseed as the solution, but it really doesn't solve the problem of 99% of users downloading a binary that they blindly run. Wh

There isn't too much "Web 2.0" tech behind building something Watson. Perhaps the use of ontologies and semantic web datasets, but in academic circles at least that's informally referred to "web 3.0" (that, too, is a bit of a misnomer becau

Not sure why you were downvoted. Your site is a little light on the details of your encryption scheme, would you care to elaborate?

I've been wondering the same thing. Journals are mostly out of the question unless you've got time to spare. Conferences might be better if you've got something novel that can get through peer review, and have a few months to spare. Perha

Actually in that position, interning for Elon Musk sounds like a great idea, followed by using that $100k to fund living expenses in college and grad school, with the bonus of having a streamlined academic plan and semi-guaranteed dream job

If your password is stored in a "decryptable" format, it might as well be stored in plaintext. Secure systems simply do not have this capability.

I think your argument is that Zynga, essentially being a video game company like the other three you mentioned, can innovate itself out of the -ville space once people start getting bored out of it. While this is certainly possible, we ha

Funny how these thoughts don't come up with phone networks, when the Internet could theoretically run via modems over phone networks. It's pretty clear that the unbridled, egalitarian power the Internet offers ordinary people is a scary con
