Actually, I want to amend that a little bit. Rocket city, spaceport, JPL, etc., I feel space travel is on the same precipice that tcp/ip and compuserve were in the 80's. The next 20 years will be fun.

There must not be much going on in the world right now. So many headlines have similar grandiose statements recently. The valley is not dead. There are future disruptive companies being ran by two guys in a garage all over silicon valley. S

I grew up in Cape Canaveral and this was awesome to me! We have to work on the naming though. Star Wars deserves some love!

How much time do you have? I see a lot on tumblr just for convenience. It's just super simple and that's really all you need.

What's even worse is that he could have _at least_ faked it with a quick google search. Shows absolutely no effort on his behalf.

Primer. A garage startup accidentally invents time travel. That's pretty inspirational to me ;)

I have been around the block using these! Springpad, remember the milk, wunderlust, evernote, onenote, outlook tasks, I could go on and on. i. I carry around a real notepad for quick notes. I fill up about 1 every 6 months, sometimes I take

I don't know a single Cs Graduate at my state school with those kind of credentials. My questions is who _wouldn't_ hire him, lol.

I'm working on #5 as well. Including videos and tools. People simply don't know enough about this. But others are right, it's being done on blogs a lot - the catch is doing it with interaction. I think that will break the mold. I'm also doi

Wow, two hackers in one thread looking for a business guy? I have 40+ business ideas - some well fleshed out and others just a couple lines from a notebook - but I have no one to execute them. Between school and work I haven't had time to t

At this point I'm convinced that it's going to require new regulations to make this happen. The information is not required to be kept open and available on a large scale. There are no repercussions for having an out of date floorplan with

I've been wanting to shoot a film about this for some time.

hacker news has had several discussions stating 'if you can fizzbuzz you can get an entry level coding job' so I thought it would be useful. I have a couple semesters of programming and can answer most questions up through year two because

I'd venture a guess that the solar energy provided wouldn't even cover a quarter of the energy cost required to cool a data center. I'd go on to say that the energy coefficient between 35 Deg N and 55 Deg N probably isn't enough to offset t

I've had two types of free prime memberships for two years now and I buy tiny things like a $1.55 audio cable or a $1.99 grill lighter every week (sometimes every day.) Ups actually offers insane bulk shipping discounts with huge retailers

No I agree. Came from c++ that I haven't done in 4 years and I'm blowing through this. Definitely need something more comprehensive.

I have the opposite problem. I'm an entrepreneur first, and a developer fifth ;) But getting dev's to see their own potential as a partner is like pulling teeth.

Thanks for the advice, I've several small projects I think I could start out with. Django definitely looks like a good next step. Looking at the resources available I wonder, should I be learning RUBY instead?

A good resource might be the the wakemate blog or contacting on of their employees. I think they went from prototype to design with a similar product to the fitbit. They wrote about sourcing Chinese manufacturers and a whole lot more. I'm c

I was under the impression that all the hackers lived in Palo Alto / Mountain View.

Hopefully they'll leave in the ability to just type in your boolean search. I prefer that method as well and send myself a lot of email so I'm often searching for stuff like [from:me has:attachment]

This might sound crazy but could you come up with a way to ask for the money on kickstarter.com and repay everyone with interest as soon as you get the allowance? I'm not sure how your allowance works or how fast the turn around but you wou

Nope. This is good advice. Although some have become aware of this in the last year or so and started cracking down in it requiring verification after approval. I learned everything about this from reading the forums at http://www.creditbo
