This!!! "Prestigious" colleges aren't mostly about the course material, which after all must be learned and re-learned throughout life (at least in my case). The more important part of the experience is communicating with a

Hiring good people and keeping them happy is enormously difficult, time consuming, and expensive. Finding the right person can easily take a month or more--and the process must be repeated each time you lose your employee. The better and

> People who say this don't have a lot of friends, or don't care about their friends I just wanted to add another voice saying that this isn't remotely true. I have a large and close-knit circle of friends, who work in te

Sure, if you are looking for a beverage, then buy cheap wine, have a soda, or drink some water. All are tasty and thirst quenching! If you are fascinated by wine as art, though, you are going to be looking for something /interesting&#

I find it interesting to read about this "taboo" because, as a scientist at a public university, the issue is...nonexistent! If you are a scientist writing grant applications with other people (the norm), then you need to know th

I've had WiFi problems for many moons on 10.9: long latencies when pinging the router and complete dropouts for periods of 2-10 seconds every 3 minutes or so. The problem seems only to happen with certain routers. I was hopeful that

Yes, it is that simple! I have found the experience of calling my congresspeople to be very rewarding and impressive. In general I have been connected to a very knowledgeable and intelligent staffer with minutes of calling. I explain why

The same is true of scientists: the best among them say "I don't know" or "I don't understand" all the time .

I need to learn 3D graphics for some of my scientific projects. Specifically, I want to rotate clouds of points just as shown here. I have no idea where to start with doing this, however. Can somebody point me to a good tutorial or other

I've lived in this world: it was San Francisco about 15 years ago. People there used to leave their networks open (60%?) and now they don't (99%). It is an amazing change and I don't understand it. What has changed? I think it is the

I don't believe that the author thought he was doing the right thing as a legislator! I think he was trying to save the state some money, without thinking carefully about how those savings would impact people's lives. As you sow...

Talk to a lawyer. A good lawyer is your best friend and won't make things more confrontational. He or she will vastly improve the situation by making clear to you (and others if necessary) that you know what you options are. For what it is

I just need to add my voice to the chorus: OAuth really, really sucks. I don't understand what problem it solves. A malicious app (native or web) can find a way to get your password, period. A well-behaved app can have your password and d

It is interesting...I had never heard of the Pomodoro technique but independently developed a method in which each "work unit" is: 25 minutes. I wonder how many others have also concluded that 25 minutes is short enough not to be scary (if

Those of you who have heard Bill Gates speak about global health will know that he is NOT just "giving away lots of money". Doing that would be easy, for somebody who has so much money (though Steve Jobs never bothered!). I've heard Bill s
