Mackinac Island, MI. Not a city, but probably the closest you'll get.

I'd add that lessons from sports leadership don't always apply in other contexts. Sports at the highest levels require extreme competitiveness and aggression. A Jordan-style asshol…

"System 100 can utilize monetary or digital currency bids, but can also enable the trading of coffee drinks." -pg.13

Atlassian's cut is 25%.

Probably they're living near the Hoyt-Schemerhorn station in downtown Brooklyn. The A/C are good, reliable trains that offer a quick commute to a large number of jobs in Lower Manh…

To be fair, the $27 billion includes 1,025 new subway cars (which tend to cost more than $1 million each) plus extensive renovations to 31 stations. Also, the "open gangway" design…

FWIW -- for non-commercial uses you can get a J-Link EDU for about $70. The hardware is identical to J-Link BASE.

I'd be interested to see how successful way2ride has been (as in, how has the percentage of taxi trips originating from way2ride changed over time?) way2ride has been advertised he…

Yup! It's a humble 4021N.

I also use that all the time, and pronounce it as "sudo", but with more excitement.

What about this makes you jump to defend the status quo? It's obviously a far more hurtful experience when it happens somewhere you actually work, and when you're already a minorit…

A combination of Pandora, Youtube playlists, Bandcamp ( http://bandcamp.com/#discover ), Pitchfork ( http://pitchfork.com/best/ ), and /r/listentothis.

There's a really detailed description of that kit (including full schematic) here: http://shop.emscdn.com/KitInstrux/555/555_principles_revB3.p...

No, don't worry, Stephen Colbert agrees with you. By not seeing race, he is by definition the least racist.

I work with PCB design tools a lot -- Cadence, Altium, Eagle, you name it. While there's definitely room for better software, the most frustrating thing about the PCB CAD ecosystem…

There are quite a few Minecraft hosting providers that are even cheaper than that, actually. But it would make sense for Microsoft to handle that themselves.

Apparently the best place to stay in London is in the River Thames ( http://www.staybl.com/areas/17 ). Who knew? :-)

> If Github was truly hostile towards women, why would they support the Ada Initiative in the first place? It's never that simple. Almost everyone says they want more women in tech…

You are talking about relatively well-paid engineers putting in extra hours to get ready for SXSW. I also disagree with parts of her management style, but nothing suggests that any…

Getting people to sign up for an account is part of their advertising strategy.

Newspapers still gotta make money even in 2014.

Is the seething rage really necessary?

It's the follow up communication that could waste time. I would prefer to do a little research on each company before applying to a dozen of them at once, or to see that the compan…

Awesome. I do think this could be a really useful tool, but it needs a lot more transparency (and clarity about what it is you do, if not "recruit")
