Science just costs too much, and scientists have paid too much to be considered scientists. The Ph.Ds that I know just want jobs that pay the bills, that pay off their loans. They do research because it is what gives them grants and enabl

Could you or other French elaborate more on that last paragraph? I'm curious of why the younger French would want to leave. Is it only because of the influx of Muslims, violence, and job opportunities? Or, are there other things going

I am not seeing the importance of those facts. It's like implying that the Denver Broncos are less worthy of a team because no one from the team is from Denver.

It would be more interesting to know if the soloists play better with one.

Move to where the money is. Befriend those who are already wealthy. Emulate them. Befriend people who are on the fast track and believe in loyalty. Be very useful to them. Help them rise. Invest at least 25% of your income. Get out more. Ta

Why is this news? We've been doing the same thing at deregulated US RTOs for at least 6 years.

Wow - nice job! I just skimmed it, but it looks great - will read more later. With all the superficial, error-ridden, and rambling books being published these days (packt, etc.), it's a pleasure to see something information-dense, accu

Honestly, it's difficult to back things with evidence in this field. Ever try to get someone to read a paper on software engineering methods? Before one can get them to understand the evidence or even look at the data, they've a

I'm not a proponent of blind regulation, and actually, I prefer less regulation, generally. But, do you have evidence to back up your implicit claim that less regulation yields better results? I ask that with complete curiosity and hu

But, on the other hand, companies are throwing away countless dollars on bad software. The problem is that it's relatively easy to write code to make something look somewhat functional, but it's a different level to complete it. T

Agreed. But, it could also be a training issue. From what I understand, police departments do not have enough funding to adequately train their force. I believe around here (Northern Virginia), the police are trained to shoot if the situa

Isn't 'the scientific paper' a kind of dated concept? I'd love to see the whole scientific process from start to finish in a 'notebook' form. Why summarize findings in a paper at the end of it all, when all st

Years ago I worked on gaming software, and the inside word was that casinos loved when this kind of stuff was publicized. A popular book, a movie, an article in the NYT - pure gold for the casinos. And, many guessed that they actually paid

Geez, at my high school, 33% (12) of kids in my gifted class didn't even graduate. At 40, I finally have the time and money to actually get to play around with things I should have been learning at 16. And, I'm learning new thing

Maybe it depends on where you are?I have several (male) french friends in the DC area, and they are some of the most structured and, frankly, unplayful parents I've ever seen. They almost seem uncomfortable even being around children.

Having failed because of some of those reasons, I think it's because those activities are very time-consuming and distract from being fanatical about the product. It would be different if they were fruitful, but more often (in my exper

I think the missed point is that Spark is very easy. I can get an average Java or Python developer trained up on it in less than a day. The python shell is very simple to use out of the box. And, it's incredibly convenient to be able

If, in your statements, we substitute ADHD with another chronic disease and Adderall with another medication would your conclusions still hold? In an ideal world, yes, we would all function optimally in our environment. But, unfortunately

Thanks for your comments. A few years ago, in my late 30s, I was diagnosed with bipolar, ADHD, and anxiety disorder (all three have high comorbidity, interestingly). When I got the diagnosis, I was a little bothered. In my family and cultu

As a side note, while capitalism has been great at allocating resources, is it really the best way? It seems like it over-allocates politicians, middle managers, bean counters, marketers, advertisers, record keepers, and market optimizers.

I don't need utopia; I would be happy with just less stress, more support, and more free time. Stress is working over 55 hours a week. It's having bosses who want impossible things faster. It's being overwhelmed with complex

I wonder if this a relatively new phenomenon, or if it has always been the case.

The organizational and operational structure seem risky enough. Then, they build it on a digital currency. Are there any similar corporate experiments out there? For a long time, I've wanted to buy into something like this but with s

Maybe not seeing the forest for the trees? The 'forest' in this case is that tech companies have been trying to transform work into a lifestyle for 20 years now. And, it has now gotten to the point where one is expected to be &#x

To me, it's an issue of political deception. Corruption is one of the prime factors in political decay, and history shows that there's nothing good about political decay. In the US, people are becoming increasingly tolerant of cor

It's amazing to me that free software is still strong after all of these years. I can remember back in the early 90s being fed propaganda from my college professors about "the communist" Stallman and his friends. They had m
