RTFA: "The first annual report from the Department of Economic Development says 30 companies began operating in 2014 among 54 initially approved for the program."

You don't start handing out tax breaks until companies start participating. So regardless of when TV Ads began, until companies participate is when to can measure success or failure.

However it's not about replicating Silicon Valley. It's about ALL BUSINESSES, not just the tech sector. So it's not about another technology corridor. It's trying to bring business back to NY and make NY more business friendly and take advantage of universities who's research can create new business markets. It's a grand idea. Not sure how well it will pay off. But the sample is definitely not long enough.

You mean like this: "According to the freedom of information law, “requests will be turned down if they would ‘significantly impact the success of an upcoming administrative measure,’” it said. - Yeah real hard to figure out *eye roll*

Really? When it did not have a snowball chance in hell for succeeding. RTFA: "According to the freedom of information law, “requests will be turned down if they would ‘significantly impact the success of an upcoming administrative measure,’” it said."

He should be nominated for a Darwin award for doing something stupid.

The real crime here is you are too stupid to realize what the kid did was wrong.

Vandalism is still vandalism. It's school property. Better get used to it.

You feel sorry for some snot nosed kid. Really? Wow someone needs a life.

Maybe the kid shouldn't have hacked into the teachers computer - you know - which is breaking the law. Idiot.

Do you understand the law Potsy. That's what matters. You don't like it, then change the law. Don't go crying because the cop did their job. What the kid did also amounts to cyber bullying. Feel lucky he wasn't charged with that.

RTFA: "Removal of any kind of public content is troubling, particularly when the process behind it appears to be little more than an on-record denial." http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/...

Japan can go fuck itself.

You need a masters in education to teach.

THANK YOU! Jesus pull your heads out of your asses people. This has nothing to do with education but training a segment of high school students to be code monkeys! Go grief how fucking stupid are you - never mind, don't answer your programmers so you cant think outside your own logical construct.

Also sounds like a lot of you were ass raped by Calculus. If you can make it through a Calc I course you have problems. Though I suspect the problem is you didn't put effort into it, unlike World of Warcraft. Morons.

Because you entered a Computer Science program with the intention of being a programmer. Computer Science is more than programmer and you posts show you abundant ignorance about the subject. The fact that you want to comment on education is scary.

Computer Science is not about programming. Programming is not Computer Science. You don't need to take a Computer Science class to be a code monkey.

Which you don't take in HIGH SCHOOL. That's the point. Taking programming does not benefit society. Good god low information people.
