I also concur. Computational modeling should be viewed as part of hypothesis formation. Similar to mathematical manipulation, it is a precursor to experimentation. Computational models are too often presented as evidence of a physical th

I wonder how correlated Tesla stock price will be with gasoline prices. I could see a steep rise in P/E as a result of a spike in fuel prices or a short term supply disruption. It is too soon to gather interesting data as fuel prices haven

I see where you are coming from. Rand tried to take the same path as Descartes in formulating that axiom. In objectivism it is "Existence exists" and in Descartes dialog it was "I think; I am." /not an objectivist

You missed or ignore a good portion of the book. No hero of the book was a crybaby; no one whined to their parents, friends, or authorities to get their way. Every hero of the book took it upon them self to better their own situation at t

There is a huge difference between being a crank and being incorrect. The death of subtly is depressing. This line by Lipton is a response to the questions that were raised when the preprint was removed Deolalikar’s personal HP page on Mon

At 66 pages, coming from a well regarding researcher, and with its professional style of writing, I'd be shocked if this wasn't reviewed and slotted for publication before the end of the year. In fact, one may argue that by FOCS we'll have

In regards to mathematics, creativity is displayed foremost in finding connections between different notions and finding logical arguments to support a claim. Mathematical discovery is not in the claim, but in the construction of the proof

In a cursory reading, I think I can address these criticisms. Although one would have liked the author to call out each in his introduction. Naturalization: This proof is not combinatorial, it is based on a model of formal logic. This is

A proof that P != NP also represents the death of an era in which CS could look upon a single problem as motivation in hundreds of different directions.

We have lived with NP \neq P being the prevailing opinion for nearly three decades. If NP \neq P there will be no dramatic engineering aspects coming from the result, as focus has long ago shifted towards heuristics and approximations. If

I wonder if there is a simple direct correlation between purchasing power and any one of those specific class segments.

The Chrome team valiantly tried to incorporate it into our design process, but stopped using it precisely because it was painfully slow.

Lavine's "Introduction to Statistical Thought" provided me with a great introduction to using R. The free text is available on his website: http://www.math.umass.edu/~lavine/Book/book.html

Social security is unsustainable. It is a solution which will not work unless every attribute but its name is replaced. How is that not an objective enough measure for anyone? However, social security also has enrollment forced under thre

This is incorrect. My family received a green card immediately, and were eligible for citizenship one year after receiving it. It does not account for H1-B and renewal leading to nearly a guaranteed greencard. Also, this presents citizensh

The folklore that I know is that ARPANET was created to provide communication channels across the US in the event of nuclear war. I should find a reference for this. edit Wiki provides references falsifying this claim. http://en.wiki

This is incorrect, and as a counter-example I point the fact that millions of dollars every year are "invested" towards perpetual motion machines. There are three large organizations with enough funding to construct, say, a super-collider;

While only slightly off-topic, I find myself more in need of curated information than raw data in my sidebar research. For instance, I searched for a while for a nearly complete dictionary of English verbs and their corresponding conjugatio

You will only be given what you deserve after you ask for it. And never be afraid of asking for it if you deserve it. This is true for gratitude, raises, promotions, funding, marriage, etc.

Have you ever been around senior management of a larger company? Everyone I have met works at least 10 hours a day, and often more. Except for vacation days perhaps, but even then they are still tied to the laptop and phone.

I totally agree with the problems of teaching, administrative duties, and grant applications getting in the way of research. But I am interested in the concern you showed about people keeping their work secret due to funding applications.
