I would do electronics, computer science & mathematical statistics, but then get some deep subject knowledge in a soft domain that really interests you (e.g. med, biochem, genetics, pharmacology, neuroscience etc). There are soooo many

You know, an even better method might be for the problem statement to be open to the public. People could then submit their solutions, and if no one came up with the same idea then it's patentable. This way if it truly is something with a m

There are no good guys. Is there such a thing? From what I understand WL offered the US government the chance to clear names of informants. They refused. They obviously wanted to pressure wikileaks not to release the information.

I have no problem with any patents assuming they are truly innovative. The biggest problem with patents is that the non-obviousness step is almost ignored from my experience. What they need is a way to determine whether an invention is an

Due to homeostasis, a diet or exercise programmes effectiveness is inversely proportional to the length of time you have been using it. Average minds think alike, great minds think differently.

Someone I know was considering dropping out of university for the same reason. Instead of agreeing with them (the papers they were taking were pretty easy), I told them to seek interesting work within the department, and stop taking easy pa

Multiple video summary tool. Condenses many videos into one short, concise summary, with the ability to jump into the "full" video at a click. Users watch the source video. They click and hold a button to determine which parts are important

He should put the project on kickstarter and let the people speak :) I'd throw in some money, as would every type-1 I know.

I can understand that position. If he's correct, it would seem like a small task to search the computational landscape and find automata that predict biological behavior or physics systems better than current models. Is this his approach? I

So what's the big deal - why does Wolfram seem to think they are the answer to the world's problems? I'm confused - there must be something there, as he's obviously a smart guy.

Question to those in the know: I've done a lot of data mining, statistics and inverse problems, but I've never even looked at cellular automata. Am I missing anything? What are they used for - what problems can they solve that other metho

The science states that they don't understand empathy until age 7. I would hazard an alternative explanation: it takes years of training to become empathetic. Most skills do take a long time to master.

No it wouldn't. Immediate red cards for "faking", determined by the video ref, would solve all the problems soccer has in an instant. The number of refereee interventions would go down, not up, and the number of games won by theatrics inste

There is surprisingly a lot of innovation going on in the field - "magic" is a broad field though - could be anything from stage to mentalism on the street. Yigal Mesika has done a lot in the field recently, check out his website www.yigalm

Natural selection is directionless, therefore it makes no difference under any scheme. What happens happens.

I definitely do not agree they are equally dystopian. In the "pay for yourself" dystopia, the poor and uneducated continue to eat poorly and die early, horrible deaths. [I know this is hyperbole, but is somewhat supported by literature on t

Absolutely. Then people have a choice, and if they still have the condition after making good choices society looks after them, so we aren't penalising for genetics/random effects. Win win.

Taxing activities in proportion to their chance of future burden on society makes sense to me (i.e. healthcare costs), as I believe individuals ultimately choose their lifestyle. If it were up to me, taxes like this would be based on the sa

I thought zoho was started by a company with 9 figure revenue already? It's not like they started zoho out of a bedroom. I.e. they are the same people behind www.manageengine.com www.webnms.com etc.

Honestly, I'm in two minds about it. If I didn't have the domain knowledge I do (I did a masters in another field before starting cs, and since have performed research in many varied fields of interest) I wouldn't be half as successful or h

The question is, if you include rationality with an IQ test, which I imagine is relatively easily to do, does this correlate even more strongly with "life success" than IQ alone. Do you know of any research along these lines?
