That's a rather brilliant idea. Including code review from your classmates.

I spent a summer as an undergrad doing research on this sort of thing, a nice paper came out of it from the grad students working with us [0]. I love to see graph theory creeping into other branches of mathematics, especially blending the d

Is this one of those papers generated by a hidden Markov model that we're supposed to laugh at because it was published in a journal and got past peer review? I'm not attempting to be snarky, it was my genuine first reaction, but

I clicked on my last company (Factual in LA) and the first listing was for a $18M penthouse. It also said that the buyer would get a $225k+ refund from Open Listings for buying through them - how does that work? But seriously, it is a very

Bizarre fingerings and a lot of very unstable harmonics scattered throughout. You can't just hit the fingerings and expect the right pitches to come out, a lot of the notes (F# below middle C in particular) take throat contortions to g

Just going off my own admittedly limited personal experience combined with the observations of many around me - but we tend to have very limited ability and information to articulate our business value within our own organizations. It'

Salary is not a monotonic mapping of developer productivity. Besides, given the general increase of salaries across the board and the poor raise-negotiating skills of coders in general, it isn't hard to imagine the 25% of salaries unde

I seem to recall that they could not find any variance in the force by orienting the apparatus in different directions. Some good work has been put into finding the cause of this, and most of the easy and obvious errors have been tested and

Yet any action towards this end consumes an unfortunately finite amount of physical resources, money, and human concern. There are opportunity costs to be weighed for every course, and what if it is cheaper to build dikes and levees than en

It all sounds rather pretty but I'm not aware of a single testable hypothesis associated with it, or at least a testable hypothesis that anyone is willing to put forward and have immediately demolished. The Rosetta mission should have

I can't speak for everyone in a small comment but, here's the nuance I left out in the interest of brevity: An overwhelming number of creators prefer to set their match policies for ContentID to monetize. Some have tiered track&#x

Takedowns suck. Content creators don't want that and people driving traffic to their page don't want that. The crucial thing about YouTube and ContentID is that you can leave the videos alone but choose to monetize (take all ad re

Sounds like a bad situation. What incubator invested in them when they didn't own the IP of the tech they are building? I think you should be considered a co-founder from your own description of the work put in, but good luck negotia

This is really interesting for a few reasons. They are copying the same revenue split as YouTube. At the same time they have historically had a very different definitions of what constitutes a "view" and this is going to lead to s

I'd wager that an APL-based language (J/K/Q) would win.

Spot on with the alchemy remark, I've made similar comparisons before. Coming into bioinformatics/computational biology with a strong discrete math background I found a lot of professors excited to work with me until I started tel

Great post. I didn't have this to read several months ago so I did end up writing my own ETL solution. It has been fun though and now we're into the analytics phase and using Chart.io - did you compare that to Periscope? It's

Just make sure that we drop it near a black smoker and accelerate evolution for the Europans. I doubt there is much background radiation on the bottom to stimulate random mutations.

Please elaborate! I am curious what your experience and setup is. I have zero interest in consuming media or games through VR but I am really wondering how it can be productive. Do you get more work done compared to regular monitors, or is

The US is extremely large and extremely varied. I used to deal with these sorts of existential threats every day, but by moving to a city with more than double the cost of living I was able to escape most of it. Some folks are luckier and a

Criminals aren't brave. They tend to flow downhill like water and find the weakest, least resistant person to target. During the occasion that someone attempted to rob me they had their gun out first and ready - yet when I went to dra

Well I left Atlanta 3 years ago and don't miss it, mainly for those kinds of reasons. I had the choice and ability to move elsewhere but a lot of people don't. Is it really reasonable to restart your graduate studies in another st

I think this makes sense. At least in my own experience attending a university in a high crime area, there were a number of students who legally owned firearms (off campus storage), had obtained a concealed carry permit from the state, and
