Meh, as a Canadian I've always been disappointed in how despite spending a lot of money on government R&D we've never really got much out of it. NRC has always been a bit of a weird beast and NSERC is still around.

What's exactly patented? I remember earlier papers on pulse detection than the one on the page.

I live in Ontario, which through some poor green power policies has really expensive power now. In response, I've reduced my power usage, plus I'm often in Germany for large periods of time. Now I'm starting to notice that the connection ch

I've wondered about becoming an angel investor in Canada. I guess the ability to invest $10,000 without asking a wife qualifies me.

Canada would be nice, although dealing with the Rogers/Bell/Telus troika might be difficult.

I wonder how much baldness research actually does go on, since the two main drugs weren't discovered by researchers working on baldness?

I won't put it up here, but those that are curious can look up Hinton's salary at the University of Toronto by looking at the Ontario government sunshine list website.

She did write: "To balance things out, Farhad invited Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, but he dropped out, so it was just the three of us." "he dropped out" is clearly false.

Sometimes I think the only growth industry and reliable money for some types of creative work is teaching, for example journalism school. Another example, a friend of a friend worked for a couple of years as a cameraman for a Canadian sport

The former head of the Toronto District School Board Chris Spence recently had to resign after a spate of criticism over plagiarism in newspaper articles he had written for the local paper. Then plagiarism was found in his University of Tor

Do more Germans have Diplom degrees per capita than North Americans have undergraduate degrees? I was under the impression that more North Americans have undergraduate degrees than Germans Diploms, mainly because the Abitur is the bottlenec

Yeah as a Canadian, pretty much all cities can fine you if you don't clear your snow with in 24 hours. Ironically I just got back to Canada from Dresden yesterday and I didn't think much of the German efforts to clear their sidewalks.

Would having such ads in a magazine like Jet or Ebony be racism too? I've worked on ethnicity detection from faces and this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Interesting. My grandfather immigrated to Canada from Devon, around Barnstaple during WW2 around the age of 30. As a kid, he had only a bit of an accent to my Canadian ears, especially compared to other people I've known who immigrated as a

That seems a pretty bold claim to make that doubling salaries would only raise supply by 5%. During the tech bubble people were coming out of every nook and cranny imaginable.

When I saw the headline I guessed Macklemore so from an information theoretic sense it helped me out. Although I'm a face recognition researcher who has written ethnicity detectors so maybe I'm biased.

I did my PhD in ECE specifically computer vision and had a decent time, but pretty much everyone I encountered during their PhD in biology had some horror story to tell.

So I guess you could boost your attractiveness by making profiles of the opposite sex and interacting with yours?

The company I work for (a face recognition software company) has done some research on assessing attractiveness from photos of faces (as have some other research groups and no doubt other companies). Maybe using this to assess yourself woul
