Took the words right out of my mouth.

I had a similar problem recently. I am building an API library for our user management/security system that our applications will work with. Well one of the things we wanted to implement was a single sign on system that required very little code change from our existing applications.

Here is my solution with some code samples: http://bottomupdesign.net/?p=103

from what research I have done it seems to be much cheaper to live near boulder (and commute just a couple of miles into town) than it would be to live near silicon valley. (Housing prices in Erie are very similar to how they are here in South GA)

I think that has a huge appeal to developers who are wanting to work for startups but do not want to spend a ton of money on a house/rent. It is definitely the driving factor for me at this point.

Yeah everyone keeps talking about how bad things are, but I look to boulder and can only see positive things happening. It's great to see companies are still raising money and finding their exits.

Speaking of AI/Singularity have any of you read What Computers Can't Do by Hubert Dreyfus?

I did a senior research paper over the book in college and thought he made some really good points. I do believe we may eventually reach the point where machines perform many tasks we do today (self driving cars for example). However, I do not think we will ever have machines that have enough intelligence to mimic the machines we see in the Matrix or other science fiction novels/movies...

I've never understood why people do not ask questions after a conversation/discussion - no matter how important it is.

My dad always said that no matter how stupid you think the question is, someone is probably thinking the same thing you are.
