My advice is what you don't want to hear. Go learn about another topic to postgraduate level if you really want to be at the forefront of a particular topic. Pretty much every topic has extremely interesting and unsolved problems, but to so

If I thought your side project could interfere with your work, I wouldn't hire you. I've done that before, it did, and it was a problem.

Good guess. Where I'm from you can start on your phd work in your fifth year of study normally (for some earlier), and it takes 2-3 years after that to complete your project + thesis.

by corruption 16y ago
Yeah I understand how it works (I have done postgraduate research) - I didn't know you were including undergraduate/postgraduate studies, I thought you were meaning thesis only!

Added to my wishlist. Thanks.

Do Phd's really take that long? I've never know anyone to take more than three years of pure research if they are full time, but this is in the biological sciences or computer science.

You assert that this research is just "a toy project that messes with electrical currents in the brain jazzed up by moral and ethical philosophy". Where is your evidence that it isn't "clearly delineated research objectives backed by solid

Agreed, I dropped papers for mendeley and I'm recommending it to everyone.

I keep trying to explain apple aren't in the cellphone business. Do you consider the ipod touch, which is outselling the iphone now, a smartphone? What about the ipad? Apple are in the mobile computing with a centralised app store business.

Just have a quick "test" and have a few bi-directional translations with multi-choice they have to get right. 100% pass or nothing.

If all laymen knew that n is irrelevant, it's the effect size that matters, we would be in a world of good. If the difference between means is large compared to the standard deviation of the population under study, you need less n. Another

If I were apple I would do exactly the same thing :)

Is the ipod touch a smartphone?

Market definitions are tested in court, and there would be a good case to have a tight definition here. My definition would be a somewhere along the lines of mobile computer, not necessarily a phone, with a centralised application store. No

Replying to my own post I know :) Remember Apple are attacking this market in multiple directions: The have the ipod touch, iphone and ipad. Most applications written for them run across all devices. They are using a cunning take on cross-p

I honestly can't see how you think it's ok for apple to try and lock people into developing for the iphone. If that's what you really believe then please explain why you think that's ok, especially that in their segment they are by far an

Come on. Apple has an effective monopoly on mobile mini-computers. They have essentially created their own category, as the iphone was such a game changer. I would not consider anything pre-android or windows mobile 7 competitors, and perha

If apple allows cross-compilation like that from titanium and adobe, then guess which platform gets the apps first? That's right - all the others! Because apple is so slow and nitpicky with their approval process, if they allow this to happ

Yes, its so hard to target a product like this. I think we'll just leave it sitting in version control, as I'm not passionate about solving industry specific problems other than the ones we built it for! :P

Have you tried flying saucer? I found it to be excellent for my purposes.

I have the product you need sitting in version control. We never released it to market because when we went to start marketing it, it seemed too difficult to go up against the big guys so we scrapped it and integrated it into a product wher

Anyone who says you need to be technical in a startup is obviously not practicing much of 4 steps to epiphany. Having someone to make those face to face meetings, do all the phone calls, write up their research and iterate on the business m

"is a good reminder that just getting into a peer-reviewed journal doesn't always establish that the published conclusion is correct (or important)." Which science school did you go to? Science is about the body of evidence, not an individu

Your questions seem to err on the side of researchers not doing good research. Why is that? My assumption when reading a study is that it is well designed. I trust in the scientific establishment vs random people on the internet, but ar

The only guys I know like this are holed up in some pure research job at universities, working on problems that interest them so much they barely leave their offices to shower. I'm talking top 50 living programmer material though.

Posting this link on nearly every study which is not in your subject area is beyond tedious. I cringe every time I see it. Ask the question - have their been any well designed studies with nootropics - by all means, but enough's enough. I

"The “scientific method” of testing hypotheses by statistical analysis stands on a flimsy foundation" If you have only studied first year statistics this is what you will learn as "science". As soon as you get to subsequent study, you reali

As usual, lifestyle guidelines only apply to the portion of the population that the author is from. There is growing evidence that genetic regulation of satiety is quite strong, and therefore people with a worse genetic profile may benefit
