If I may provide some help, economical theory has some explanations, including the Stopler Samuelson conclusion in the HO model for international commerce : in an economy focusing on the export of highly technical outputs, the best qualifie

A tenth of that pays for a full year in the FWI, and leaves enough for ~ 3 month of housing. And there are other countries in the world - you don't have to study in the same place. So I repeat myself - paying through the nose. Unless these

I sincerely wish you the best, in both your personal life and your career, but "when you have a large skill set and are willing to do anything" you DO find work. And when you are damn good at what you do and productive - more productive t

spot on. And leave the deniers be happy in their mindless happy existence. They may look as good or even better (richer) but it ain't the true thing.

Thanks a lot for your mindful reply. It's the only one I've read so far that made sense. I've felt the same hate you are describing, from self righteous intellectual liberals so full about themselves. It is for such insightful posts that I

What is the point of this blatantly racist content of this populistic article essentially advocating discrimination (oops - I mean 'equal opportunity') over skills and productivity ?? Some examples: "(companies) import labor from overseas"

Somehow unrelated, but here is a nice poetic definition of a INTP in a roadtrip (compiler vs amputee) http://www.ribbonfarm.com/2012/11/05/at-home-in-a-car/ I guess it pays to know you can live like that.

Many people, not only in science, first want obedience and predictability. If you have any "extracurricular activity", you are categorized as a threat because it demonstrates both a) that you have a free spirit, and b) that you have the cap

Yes, that's exactly the point! Just replace the logo by a breadboard internally linked to the various I/Os and I'm sold!!

Imagine a battery-powered C64-like device (ie "all in one", the motherboard just below the keyboard) with a tiny LCD screen (no bigger than your smartphone) and a real-sized keyboard. Now imagine doing RDP or VNC to "display" the screen on

If only for the integrated FPGA, I'm interested! One suggestion: it could be made cheaper and maybe more interesting by removing the screen altogether (there's an HDMI port !) to do a C64-like computer, with a tiny smartphone-like internal

Based on my experience the sensibility is good (ie it often gives a red flag when something happens) but the specificity is poor (ie there are many false positives). My theory at the time was that some kind of semantic sliding was happening

Sentiment mining is a hot topic, with many possible uses, but coders can usually do something decent without any crazy magic. The problems start when any grammar processing happens - because algorithms are then dependant of the language (Wh

Denonciations are a good thing if you believe a criminal should be arrested as a consequence of his initial actions. Denonciations are a bad thing if you believe that someone who didn't get caught in the act should be able to escape 972 - e

Don't fear failure- compute a risk of failure for every project and every action you take, then plan for this risk of failure Ex: "I will be paid in this currency, but it risks falling" -> I will therefore buy an option. Having fully a

So true. It is one of the defining features about late adolescence and early adulthood: we believe we can achieve everything through hard work. Nothing is impossible. For some reason, this sparkle, this feeling vanishes in many people. They

I love stats, but I do not consider myself a professional statistician, so maybe someone else can give you better suggestions. I'd just say I understand the basic ideas such as DeMoivre or the Central Limit Theorem, and it helps me a lot. F

Absolutely totally true. Ignore the laws of statistics at your own peril. Knowledge of statistics is the best investment one can make with one's time. A/B testing is the tip of the iceberg - a simple practical application, which can be expl

I fully agree with the benefits of communicating one's result, if only for feedback and getting independent verification or validation - but a paper is only a given way to reach this goal. If your area of research is obscure or quickly evol

The minimum number should be 0. Papers are useless to rate the quality of a PhD thesis - the jury, if chosen right , should be experts in this field and thus able to analyze by themselves whether the PhD was an original contribution to sc
