Yes I am at that point... The problem is that I am now finally getting reasonable academic success. A lot of people want to collaborate on papers, projects, etc. And I must say these are some of the best researchers in the field. The only t

Yes. These are exactly the kind of questions that the system can support. There is a big baseball database out there that I played around with earlier ( http://baseball1.com/ ). It's only for non-commercial activities the last I checked.

Unfortunately sabbaticals aren't part of the Swedish system... Still I am sure I could swing a non-paid leave starting in January or so. Perhaps even in November. But not in September/October! I am already down for teaching AI.

Thanks for the encouragement... being impressed with the demo is ultimately what matters. A serious problem I have however is that this geography database isn't so interesting. Who is really going to learn anything from this rather low qual

Well I am divorced and don't have kids, so the world is my oyster ;-)

Yes, I am interested. I like your videos. Very well done. We can discuss via email. mjm@cs.umu.se is probably the best mail to use.

If I do option #2, that is open-source the system under BSD, then I suppose that would give me the option to fork the whole system later under a commercial license if the system started to gain traction. Of course the risk is that others wo

The system calls several GPL based components (SPASS, aspell, ...) but does not extend any thing under GPL. I was thinking that if I open-source it I would put it under a very open license (e.g. BSD) and assume/hope that anyone that extende

Actually it's a law in Sweden called the "teacher exception" ('lärarundantagen') and it is not without controversy. But it was the business development folks at Umeå who let me in on the secret and gave me a lot of encouragement. Yes I am c

Yes I think you make some very good points.

Yes I agree that was some weak reasoning on his part.

OK, explain how they don't 'mean anything'. The guys is expressing his opinion. No doubt in somewhat vague terms, but I feel like I have a good sense of what he means. Also it's easy to say to anyone who expresses an opinion to back it up w

I think it's fairly coherent. He says that Students are more affected by cultural than market forces as they are being educated. And that cultural forces are science/hard work hostile. What I disagree with is the implication that some how t

I have to agree in large part with the author's lament w.r.t. American students. There seems to be a new generation that is especially glib and shallow. There are many counter examples of course, but in general it is no surprise that they a

Bad science... The article seems to suggest that this is 'genetic'. That there must be coded traits that somehow have to be favored or at least persist. I have been the nice guy and the bad guy many times. A lot of it has to do with ones mo

One thing nice about the Swedish systems is that students can retake the final exam. So, yes I will fail up to 30-40% of a class on the first exam, and then they usually buckle down and most can pass the second exam. Of course I make the se

Cities are nice to visit, but in the long run they are a bit of a grind.

I said 'happier'. Besides what you do is not give (so much) money to the poor and middle class, but rather tax them less and tax the rich much more. The poor and middle will be happier as they keep more of their earnings and the rich, well,

by anaphoric 18y ago
Even if the article were true, I still believe in 'bubble up' rather than 'trickle down'. If you transfer money to the poor, then tend to be happier and thus cause less social problems (e.g. less crime, fewer beggars, etc.). The rich can af

OK, you are right, that wasn't so bad. Perhaps I will take a closer look at SPARQL one of these days. BTW how does it do with things like spatial constrains. In relational databases it's easy to express spatial joins over relations. For exa

If you read their description, you can sense that this simple capability is beyond their grasp. They are falling back on reification and complex syntax. They even promise more notes soon LOL! Here is an example I would like to see Semantic

Sorry, semantic web = semantic networks a la Quillian. It's a step backward. RDBMS work because they have a solid semantic foundation with n-ary relations. Description logic based formalism can't do n-ary, nor can RDF triple stores. The who

Just open your eyes to the many beautiful women around you right now. 'Supermodels' are just an illusion -- cartoon characters which distract you from what is real.

Sounds like you are doing well. What are your plans? I was back to A^2 last year for a week. It has the same feel. I must admit that I miss the place from time to time.

The availability of easy credit has kept lower/middle class consumption so high recently. It will not last. In fact as we speak this whole system is unwinding. Watch credit card delinquencies... But I take it that what this article is reall
