FWIW, two (partially self-serving) suggestions: 1. Try set up a lab in Cambridge at some point down the road. 2. Pay particular attention to CS theory: it's (arguably) high-impact and very cost effective --you can practically fund an e

I don't understand how some people still stick to the idea of efficient markets and speak against government intervention. I would say ideology, motivated reasoning and dichotomous thinking, inter alia .

This. Maybe I'm being unfair, but it does remind me somehow of George Packer's New Yorker piece[1]: "It suddenly occurs to me that the hottest tech startups are solving all the problems of being twenty years old, with cash on

Phew... Every time I see announcements like this I get scared. The other day I literally had a nightmare that HN had been "re-designed" à la Slashdot (in my dream, it turned out to be an April Fools' joke). I know it is i

Ben Silbermann is the cofounder and CEO of Pinterest, and a two-time YC alumni. Shouldn't it read instead "[...] and a two-time YC alumnus "? Just saying!

Instead of starting from the mathematically "rigorous" notation, I am able to jump to a more familiar idea and proceed to link it back to the notation and rigor described in the definitions and associated theorems. This is a much

In my personal experience, I've not seen computer-naïve users of iOS struggle to a greater degree with iOS 7+ than with any of the previous versions. Interesting. My experience is exactly the opposite: pretty much all my close rela

On an aside: I just noticed the nice underlining used in the site. After some digging, I came across these two links [1,2] explaining how it works. Very interesting: [1] http://www.acusti.ca/blog/2014/11/28&#x

"[...] starting around 2030 as processing power becomes cheap enough [...]" Surely you are not relying on an (arguably naïve) extrapolation of Moore Law-type progress? Recall we are fast reaching the end of it.

Yet FWIW, note that #39 applies to every string theorist! "39. 50 points for claiming you have a revolutionary theory but giving no concrete testable predictions."

I think so too, but I guess it's relative: my younger sister suffers from the low-pitch/noisier variety, and she thinks having a constant high-pitch in your ear must be horrifying. She might be right, but I try not to think much

Interesting; that's indeed an uncommon form of tinnitus. If you are curious, here are some simulated samples[1]. Make sure though you set the volume at a comfortable level first, and listen all of them to get a representative idea (the

That's debatable , to say the least. One can make the argument that British colonialism was primarily (no surprises here) extractive , not developmental. And apparently to some extent it shows in the empirical pattern[1]. None of t

You are definitely on the right track: biologists call that (viral mutualistic) symbiosis. Check out [1,2, inter alia ]. [1] http://www.nature.com/nrmicro/journal/v9/n2/full/nrmicro2491... [2] htt

Not so. It crashes Safari gloriously on my old iPad. Every time. Not that I'm too excited to hear Google -- Google -- go all Jonathan Ive and wistfully pontificate about design though...

For me it's worse: all I see are constant overheads between trivial prefix-free equivalents... But then I also love C and hate everything Python with a passion, so go figure.

The US, meanwhile, has only a few dense regions, mostly in the Northeast, with the rest of population centers spread out very large areas. [...] There are notable exceptions, such as Los Angeles, but LA is not representative of most of the

That definitely sounds like a very mild but treatable form of language disorder to me. It might be too mild to be of interest to language disorder clinicians, but maybe you could try 'treat' yourself by setting up a long-term plan

Same here... although I've recently noticed some improvement in some Guardian pages actually loading without crashing. But then I also try maximize available RAM by having no tabs, assiduously closing any 'background' apps,

This. I would go even further: there should be a Dogme 95 -like movement[1] to bring HTML back to its roots. This could be a good start: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ . [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x
