That is a brilliant game. But it is a hazard for politicians--it teaches people that hiding dangers makes them go away :)

Wired and Reddit are part of the same media conglomerate, so that explains how the wired articles get on Reddit. I think a lot of n.yc readers read reddit, so that is how they get …

There are startups, just not as many web ones. If you want biotech or wireless then you are in business though.

I'm a native. I found the weather to be boring. It is always sunny, never rains, and the plants are either evergreen or scrubby bushes. So you don't get a sense of what season it i…

If you are doing a ham/spam type classification, then you won't need the alien language. I am almost a total tech novice and I was able to do well with just some bash scripts. Of c…

The Cadillac of bayes classifiers is CRM114--it can use classifiers that are far more advanced than naive bayes, such as clustering, or with hidden markov modeling.

I wouldn't spend too much time deciding between the two--they are more or less functionally equivalent, so just pick one and don't look back. Python is a little more "corporate", w…

The marginal cost of selling software is $.00 pretty much. So MSFT operates on a what-the-market-can-bear approach, not a costco-style mark-up-everything-10-percent appraoch.

I am 28, married, and live in the Park Merced complex in the south-west corner of SF. It is about as suburbs as you get in SF, but also is right next to SF State so there is a youn…

Ladies and gentlemen, the submarine in action. How many media hits are we going to have for AppJet? AppJet does seem pretty cool though. I wonder what happens if your app really ta…

It is more like: email is a cockroach. Sure it is ugly, but it will still be around long after the rise and fall of prettier creatures like Twitter or Facebook.

Well, I live in the bay area, so you are right, there is probably something closer.

Guy is an interesting fellow. He put himself in a position to be interviewed for CEO of Yahoo, but he turned the interview down (didn't see the potential in Yahoo!) Question: is it…

Seconded. I went to a nice Ramen shop in Tokyo--basically amazing.

Thanks for the correction

This article and Tim's are both a little long-winded. All that is happening here is a discussion about when to hold ruby conferences: on weekdays so the pros can go, or on weekends…

This is cross-posted from reddit. Answers: no, but still probably a lot. The site is not affiliated with a charity, so who knows if they actually give rice or not. Anyway, everyone…

I was pretty bad at college and high school. But I did get the highest grade in the class in one class, it was where there was direct competition between everyone else for the grad…
