   This is actually quite sad considering Yahoo has an excellent research division in Barcelona in information retrieval. Maybe they should start funding them more instead of letting them fund themselves with huge european projects.

   There was an essay from an extremely famous mathematician that I read not a long time ago on analytical vs geometrical oriented thinking in mathematics and I can't recall where it is and it is driving me crazy. If anyone knows what it

   I think you just can't "compete" with your former employer for X years after leaving, i.e. building a product that is doing the same thing one of their products is doing.

   I think your sandwich analogy is spot on in the sense that I can also just ask a human "please make me a sandwich" without specifying anything, and (most) humans could proceed to do so without more details. There should be more op

    Same here as a french guy. Even worse is that I can usually hide it pretty well (or at least diminish it) until I have to pronounce the letter 'R'. Damn R's...

    I love the idea of IFTTT (and automation in general) but everytime I go their website, I just sit there for 30 minutes and realize that most recipes would annoy me more than they would help me. Maybe I just have no imagination.

    I am just beginning my PhD but I have been "dipped" in academia for a few years and my short experience tends to agree with your point. It's not about loving your PhD project (although that doesn't hurt, and it should be preferred if possib

    I find that fascinating. Since you seem to know what you are talking about, can you name a good introductory book on the topic for someone who doesn't have an education in higher-level mathematics besides what's in a standard CS curriculum

    As long as she acknowledges her disinterest for all things virtual and hires competent advisers for that domain, what is the problem? She didn't say those things were not important, only that she doesn't like this mode of communication.

    The TAOCP[1] is the reference for all the types of algorithms it covers, the Cormen book[2] is a reference for its breadth and the Algorithm Design Manual[3] is quite nice to learn how to design your own. [1]: http://www-cs-faculty.stanfor

    I think that this sort of stuff is why a lot of people are afraid to create start-ups in France. Yes, there are huge taxes, but huge taxes provide a benefit (living in a decent society). This on the other hand is just an artifact from the p

    These two problems are related - I don't mind having the final product in public (it's bound to get there eventually) and thus not having to pay too much (or even use the free tier), but putting everything in public before publication is in
