Nope, you still formally sign up like a standard PhD student but will organize your thesis as a series of published and peer-reviewed papers, instead of the standard format, at the normal end of your PhD program. There is neither an acceler

Well, their vision is shared by industrial partners indeed. I presume we are seeing this from different perspectives (mine: industrial ability within some limitations; yours: full theoretical validation) and maybe we need to agree which is

You’re welcome, mainstream academic communities do a different job, though. I can see the long-term benefits in trying something technologically novel to accommodate a fully interconnected IoT planet but I am not paid by IOTA to evangelize,

ok then you are not so cynical, are you? we have all been through rough patches like that, though, and we all need our time to heal when we’re hurt but the sooner we move on, the better... so just go out for a walk, breathe fresh air, try a

Relent control and fall in love with someone or something? Cynically speaking, being deeply in love is the most powerful and natural drug out there.

Small and progressive milestones can help a lot in that sense.

My iPad mini 2 retina is so good for PDFs and casual surfing I still use it as my main device indoor, Apple even gave it new life with iOS 12, for which I’m grateful indeed. That is meant to say you should be fine with the very good and rel

I appreciate a lot they are thinking of beyond-human runs these days, for example just put a few agents into big, number-crunching climate change models and see if they are able to “win” (keeping planet Earth ecosystem on this side of diver

Literature, metaphors and social science for mankind and a single, final word on nuclear warranting the clickbait title? These words show trepidation but have not aged well, do they?

From a science perspective, positive results are overrated; the most important aspect is to investigate a “good” question. Researchers understand “good” has not the same meaning everywhere or to every stakeholder. More at large, blurred jou

If you need a job asap, your best chance everywhere is to ask relatives, friends and friends of friends for a stop gap position, then build from that.

Sensitivity / ablation studies plus datasets opensourcing should be made mandatory for every computational proposition and research asap, so that results can be checked by peers and by the community at large. With publish-or-perish pre

Maybe sell a code-like template of your app with a short tutorial for devs? If your own app trickled off on the market, its direct value is marginal now and clones will not hurt much while you get money from sharing knowledge & tricks.

There is not much to say, it seems a no-frill business that stays afloat doing grunt work, just like the majority of b2b IT ventures out there. Managers are probably having their perspectives a bit skewed by recent fashionable fields, somet
