Tesla buying experience is way better but the ETAs are famously off. Mine has been pushed back 4-5 times and always about 3-4 weeks before it's due to get delivered, so it's impossible to plan around.

We had a preemie baby at 26 weeks in December and feel fortunate our hospital (UCSF) practiced this recommendation. I was surprised they could do kangaroo care that fast (was a few hours after birth), but we did it then and everyday our daughter was in the ICN for 4 months. I'm convinced it made a difference and am sad when I hear about parents who can't do this.

I hope this research helps this become more standard practice.

Check out extreme isolation headphones: http://www.extremeheadphones.com/

My co-worker has them and likes them. They're basically earmuffs + audio

Well done. This would be extremely useful in one of the mobile muni apps. I look at Transporter in the morning to know when to leave for the N, but if it had an indicator of delays, I'd know that it's time to walk/bike/uber instead.

It may be a little less, but the volume is high enough (35M+) to be fairly indicative of tomorrow's opening price.

Looks like they'll get a 4th billion dollar company with machine zone if this round closes: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/07/16/newest-hit-game-maker...

They've been around for a while. Even before getting into mobile they did high end 3D platform stuff for console games like grand theft auto.

With a technical + business background like that, I agree that product management might be a great fit, assuming you're interesting in getting away from code and focusing more on project management, specs, design, etc.

I'd also say you sound pretty ideal as a co-founder for a general web or mobile product. That's a position where a wide range of skills are useful and I'm sure there's lots of people out here who would love to talk to you.

No

Most enterprise apps have an SLA of at least 99.9%. If the government was an email server for example, for the month of October they'd like have to give a partial refund to their customers for the downtime.

Very useful. It'd be nice to be able to exclude certain tabs from ever being closed (like gmail) that I want to keep open.

I like the loosely follow this philosophy without it taking over my life. finding a person/source you trust a ton and buying what they say is helpful, for example thewirecutter.com

I'd like to see the comparison for -90,-60,-30,-15 days from election too.

Does anyone know what the largest modern transaction for a sole-owned company is?

anyone know of an open source tool that approximates this? i'd love to build something like it at my company. would be used a ton.

Did not realize they were exempt. That explains it.

I read that as one employee left after the threat was made, and the other stayed.

[Disclosure: I went to wes and didn't major in CS (though wish I had taken more classes in it)]

I think the main point from this article is that the type of thought wesleyan teaches has proven itself well-suited to the creative, innovative thinking valued in the tech and startups especially. While this isn't necessarily programming focused, there are other roles in the industry Wesleyan is showing it has done really well in.

Also, while more grads move to NYC than anywhere else, I will say there's plenty of wesleyan tech talent out here in the bay area (CEO of rdio, a bunch of folks at google, and startups).

The school would definitely be well served by beefing up it's CS department and trying to attract more talent. With a solid programming community on campus, I bet we'd see some awesome projects emerge especially as tech mixes more with the strong arts and music scenes.

What I like about this is the potential to become a platform for little useful scripts (recipes). I know there are a hundred ways I could send twitter favorited links to instapaper, but this made it dirt simple and easy enough that my parents could do it. Any single recipe may not be that amazing, but the combination of a bunch of little useful ones could be.

The true test of Steve's legacy will be whether Apple can continue in the image he molded for it well beyond his departure. Great CEO's are felt for a long time after they leave.

I can second this. The person who orders food at my company reports it's a huge time sink. We're 50 people and it was taking her hours a day with everything that can go wrong.

This seems like a great program. One friction point for e-textbooks seemed to be the inability to sell them back at the end of the semester like normal books. The reduced cost of a rental should help assuage that.

I agree with this. As a newbie, it's easy to get caught up in finding the perfect tools and waste a lot of cycles with that. I do use textmate because the syntax highlighting makes it easier for me to read, but anything more complex than that seems pointless (at least at my stage).

reading this one and I think it's super clear: http://www.djangobook.com/en/2.0/

Totally. Figuring out what to spend time on is definitely one of the hardest parts since there's so much out there. But reading and hacking on 4 chapters of the django book in a day taught me more than reading for a year.

On my Gmail, it's a dark grey which I like, but in Calendar it's pure black. I think the pure black is pretty jarring but the grey nicely transitions from the browser bar.

I'm also not seeing anything at http://twitter.com/thomaschaaf. Is that a real handle?

Seems like a good idea. We just started with an easy use case and would want to expand further.

Your surprising results might be due to the fact that we only take most recent 200 tweets. We've had trouble with the Twitter API beyond that.

I've heard good things theladders.com's resume service: http://resume.theladders.com/

I don't think it's cheap though.
