What separates YCR from a thing like Bell Labs?
Bell Labs has produced a lot of great research and many researchers have had fruitful careers there and after.
Why can't YCR be the same?
- hugh4 11y agoWell, the fact that Bell Labs is/was an actual real thing, whereas YCR currently consists of good intentions and an amount of money which, while very generous on Sam's part, would fund a Bell Labs size organisation for a couple of days.
- OopsCriticality 11y agoTrack record of results, corporate memory, facilities, and the collective wisdom and experience of the fellows. YCR could be the same, one day. Nevertheless, it's a very long and perilous road from YCR the proposal, to Bell Labs 2.0.
