I send her $5 a month and it's 1000x more valuable than HBO go or any of that sort of shit. She is quite simply a hero, full stop.

God damn it, that Science paper is piss weak even for a Science paper. It's yet another consortium advertisement. Meanwhile mapping of somatic mutations in blood progenitors has been happening for a decade.

Thank you. As a statistician, the fact that mixed effects models (e.g. does this rater tend to rate high?) are overlooked is, IMHO, a death sentence. Too much nomenclature, too early (link to the table within the text, please, and omit ne

The visual here is awesome. Although all good programmers are antiheroes in my world, so I read that as a mustache twirling Guy Steele merrily evading the bumbling cops. Practically the whole point of Real Programming is to evade the limi

under Bayh-Dole I would expect them to get 33%-33%-33% or 60%-40%, something like that? That's how it works for mine.

I did work with a guy named Max Kalashnikov at Google. That was a pretty "rad" name, too.

The sole comment as of 11:26AM PDT, April 29th, 2017, is devastating. It suggests that science journalism is fucked. I'm going to poll a few friends that do freelance work for Nature & Science to see if this is the general consens

My god this sounds exactly like academia: your job as a professor at a research university is to obtain grants, publications, and donations. Pretty much everything else is incidental. "Service" to a department, to students, etc. i

perhaps you're working for the wrong boss. Every effective boss I've ever worked for wanted to see two things: 1) revenue 2) results Those who got distracted by other crap tended not to be as successful by objective metrics. Jus

His grammar is atrocious, yet this is one of the clearest and most persuasive things I've ever seen on medium. I learned an important lesson about writing from this author.

Both are nice and pleasant guys to work with, unlike a lot of the drooling idiots that act like this "rivalry" is some sort of football game. Funny how master craftsmen don't often blame their tools, they sharpen them instea

Statisticians need to make figures; most programmers, most of the time, don't. The tools reflect this :-)

R is explicitly designed around S-expressions and as such lends itself to domain-specific languages like these. The choice was not an accident either by the original Rs (Robert Gentleman and Ross Ihaka) nor by Hadley. Guido has explicitly

Thank you for doing this -- all of it. It seems like you've built up a tremendous amount of goodwill and I hope it will pay off for you, in what seems like a much more focused new venture. If you can capture 10% of Craigslist's

Preregistration, as demanded for clinical trials, is essentially the only way to ensure that researcher degrees of freedom are avoided. Buy the ticket, take the ride. Needless to say, it's a scary ride, so most groups won't do it

I love how you believe that most reviewers have time to conduct a thorough review for a journal, most of the time. As opposed to something much closer to "LGTM!" With some "but be sure to cite my vaguely-relevant work in Foo

So, peer review doesn't scale, and some alternative is needed. Sounds about right. How about we crowdsource the task? Since all the qualified specialists are busy writing grants against a 15% payline, we can farm it out to people witho

Oh christ, another Frontiers in Briefing Trends series. These are among the most superficially reviewed journals on earth. Navarrete must have been up for tenure and needed a few publications (deans can't read, but some can count).

Why do you quote the word experts? It doesn't appear that the objective merits of the tools under discussion yield a single best answer. For example, if you look through various implementations of assorted somewhat-esoteric algorithms
