Yes, I believe the folks at BlueDot have an FPGA implementation.

One of our C++ devs is currently remote in the Czech Republic, so it is a possibility. Reasonably regular trips to London would be required.

I'm sure I've seen this before, though I'm not sure whether it was on HN.

I was surprised at the number of tech firms in the list (e.g. Adobe, TI, NetApp, Cisco, Juniper) and the jobs that are listed are the engineering and other technical jobs. Reading …

The author sets self-improvement tasks, which are worth points. Keep track of your score with the provided scorecard. I like the site design, a pity the scorecard didn't benefit fr…

Linking to the print version caught me slightly off guard, but otherwise an interesting article. The author appears to be asking for a car manufacturer to build a one-size-fits-all…

The people being fired aren't the only ones who will need to decompress...

The Google sponsored petition to get access to the inter-channnel frequency spectrum. Lots of videos of Google employees explaining the problem.

Just a quick note: in your credits I think you mean to reference people's Trademarks, not Copyrights (you use the (c) instead of (tm))

Interesting implementation, I do like how they've kept the node graph simple. They've made the classic error of forcing you to register before you can play with the application. It…

Kevin Kelly has added photographs to his 1994 book "Out of Control" and made it available as a free PDF download. He's experimenting with contextual ads, displayed alongside the do…

Actually this article was published in March 2003 as a Microsoft Technical Report: http://research.microsoft.com/research/pubs/view.aspx?tr_id=... Jim Gray giving a presentation on…

A nice list of web services offered by Amazon.

I had two thoughts when reading this: 1) Mythical Man Month... 2) If I was Apple would I have released the SDK with iPhone 1.0? Probably not. iPods became a market leader without a…

Governments probably aren't going to get their act together for a while, and when they do they are at least reasonably accountable to the populous. Perhaps if the geoengineering is…

A very interesting look at the results of Google Insights. When I have a moment I'll see if I can find public sales/growth figures for a few companies and compare them to their Goo…

I have yet to see a viable business model for any geoengineering company, but when one does come along it will definitely be Interesting Times.

Hmm, I'm not convinced about the "only build what you are going to use" argument. The best example I can think of is pace-makers (or any other form of life-saving equipment). A man…

There are some interesting numbers in there, but it does seem a little like a plug for one of the author's reports. The message seems to be that when buying a server, consider the …

I assumed that Knol rated highly because they have access to some good SEOs. Who better than Google to optimise your site for a search engine crawler? In terms of Google being a me…

I was surprised because I believe that a large portion of the excitement of sport is its event nature and viewing a live-event live enhances that experience, improving the Olympic …

Lots of possible quotes out of this one. "You and your goal are part of the future. Without its specification you can never know the future. And the more you know yourself and your…

I'm surprised the IOC didn't put a requirement for a live broadcast into the contracts with the broadcasters. Putting it out live on a separate channel would probably make sense in…
