Canadians get access to TN class work visa. It's meant for temporary work, but gives a few years to figure out a more permanent approach.

At quoted "1.5 GB/inch^2" they are comparing their 100 layer medium against a single-layer 25GB bluray disc. At three~four layers, current bluray discs offer 100~128GB of capacity.…

Looks like it could be a geocode problem. A search for "Fruitvale BART Station" on RadPad lands you in Old Oakland / Civic Center area.

Not "required", just that after Oct 2015 the merchants will become liable for fraud (instead of the banks), if they are not equipped for Chip and PIN (apparently "pay at the pump g…

Too bad that the article talks about Baidu's office in Sunnyvale, California.

Somewhat misleading, as Andrew Ng had left Google in 2012 to co-found and run Coursera. Baidu got him back into AI/ML. More details on his own blog post from 3 months ago — http://…

> Top 3 winners get $200, $100, and $50 Those are 2013 numbers. This year it's "all-expense paid trip to attend a one-day data visualization course", $500, and $250 for top 3 winne…

Is "bought from a store" a requirement here? I've built a small garden on my balcony, and it seems that such could meaningfully supplement a $35/week budget; especially given an ob…

walkscore can already map out all "within walking distance of grocery + rail" locations in Portland (and elsewhere). E.g. http://www.walkscore.com/apartments/search/Portland-OR?zoo…

I've observed the same experience. Makes sense, considering: > That critical parts of the brain involved in decision-making are not fully developed until years later at age 25 or s…

I went back to the Analytics Admin panel to double check, and it indeed looks like filters are applied to specific views. The tracking code collects data at the property level. Fro…
