Would say an MSc soon after graduation is mostly useful to specialise in a particular domain of the industry instead?

Nothing is neutral or unbiased, you need to form your own point of view (aka develop a perspective from your own history, society, ambitions and moral attitude) about life and its events in order to relate with people and their opinions, al

Think of this as a startup case for 2016: an exciting idea on paper with a very improbable, cumbersome and practically impossible execution = non-viable, fail fast, goodbye.

Sooo INTJ-ish all this! Disclosure: I am INTJ and see this as a tool among other tools to understand where I do stand socially within a few business-oriented group dynamics.

I must admit that my interest in this field has peaked in 2015 (say a mid 2014 - mid 2016 cycle) and that I'm now only keen on applications for my industry. It's a good sign, though: DS/ML/AI alphabetisation is progressi

Still Twitter is the fastest and the least spammed medium to follow the cream of your / any technological industry: follow just a selection of very relevant influencers or firms and you are done, you have a live coverage of news and is

Hello, great post, thanks! About the material: it may be an incremental steel alloy, for which data science methods can help a lot: for the learning part, feed the results (the plots with dpa irradiation vs damage in terms of displacement,

My two cents here from the industry I am in. Thesis: I can't see any nuclear reactor at the paper stage in 2016 beating the small modular reactors from westinghouse (III gen integral pwr) or ge-hitachi (IV gen PRISM sfr) to the 2030 ra

In principle we are going towards some sort of consolidation aka biodiversity annihilation worldwide, so that there will be 5-7 corporations / governments deciding for we all. It would be good if, say, they had a global superior missio

You would want to support your local communities / markets maybe, now risking to become invisible or outpowered? It is called biodiversity. Very sad and dangerous for evolution a fully Googled or a fully Amazoned or a whatever monopoli

Fundamentally we are being cornered, marked and forced to buy their shit whatever and whenever we need something. We can't do much as individuals but we can expect different syndicates wanting slices from the same pie: China and their

A competent old geek is able to set up properly and very quickly but the day-to-day huffing & puffing implies a mix of stamina and boredom, that's why ping pong as a culture fit.

At the very least he summarises for us the YC data and puts forward (for free) the hints, the best practices, the recurrent patterns that characterise a good lot of the most successful startups in the world. He is a privileged but educated

Miserable sods are not an exception in the human history but, until now, doers have always had the last laugh. Steps may be faster without them but, you know, the higher the target, the more substantial the effort to get rid of miserable so

It's natural that complex, evolving organisms have more and more entropy but their decline, as for what you HNers are saying here, is due to the unavoidable predominance of more and more web-idiots, mostly coming from 3rd and 4th world

In learning mode as an adult you should really spend 12-14 hours a day thinking and tinkering, 2-3 months max. It has to be both a challenge and a boost.

Reductionist approach (aka deep neural networks) is not going to work at full complexity scale but it is our best shot right now.

Baltic states are a lively option for entrepreneurship and startups in the EU nowadays, in particular Estonia, also probably more suited to a Russian family?

At an undergrad level, it really matters you understand the fundamentals and are quick to learn both technically (the frameworks in your field) and socially (to interact with people in a team). That said, a plain resume with any past volunt

Your best shot may be finding the way to use your knowledge in a field you are really passionate about. In fact, it seems to me you are just hanging yourself at some sort of cerebral tree while cutting passion out. That way, you will always

Main problem is micromanaging time instead of targets and milestones. No trust, remotely? Fine, just don't fake it.

I would be very happy to join a remote team as a data analyst / scientist but, whatever reason (skills, fit, pay, age, time zone), I am falling short. For what I see, many still consider employing remotely as a way to assemble a cheap

Generally it works the other way round: you have an idea for making money and need the best (or easiest) tool (or language) for execution. Starting from nowhere, your best shot is learning to customise e-commerce templates and set up stores

The verses and the wit from the Irish-Princetonian poet Paul Muldoon on YouTube never fail to bring a broad smile to my face. https://m.youtube.com/results?q=paul%20muldoon
