If one wants to work for SpaceX we can assume that he's at least aware of the space industry environment and SpaceX's goals to get to Mars by the end of this decade (plus some years of buffer). It should be clear that SpaceX utilizes the av

One joins SpaceX with a sense of mission and urgency. Their rate of progress comes with a price. That should be clear upfront.

I'm far from being blown away. Researchers in AI have demonstrated AI systems with a "blank mind" that can learn by interacting with its environment given some reinforcement learning. They often operate in simple toy examples, but once conf

I understand what you're aiming for. If it were a daily occurence to have terrorist attacks in the US, general attention would fade in the same way. It's like with the dead from road accidents, they're not reported daily and nation wide and

Looks like the ratio in CS courses. I came up with the constant 4: Either 4 or 4% are female, whichever is less.

Yes, I wish that GNAT gets more adoption. Where appropriate I recommend Ada. It would be helpful to have some impressive and successful applications outside the high-integrity/reliability niche. That's a good time to advertise for http://w

Yes, Ada needs more love here. I think that Rust's main goals are already implemented with Ada (low-level, reliable, strong typing etc.). Plus that Ada is a proven work horse with existing tools and best practices. It just hasn't the C feel

These definitions aren't scientific but politicized. They come from activists with a PhD. They just want to "prove" that capitalism is imperialist and racist.

> focus on young women So you're co-launching a sect and become a sex-guru? ;) No srsly, I've found that many people (not only young women) could need some help to get more self-esteem, curiosity (many are, but they think they're not al

Cyprus won't collapse (and even if, that's not the end, they'll stand up again and as an EU member state they'll receive help as they did before). Their banking sector is overblown and the intention is to reduce it to EU average by 2018. Th

No. We'll see some bank runs mostly in southern countries, but the deposits are power law distributed and thus the financial majority (in sum, not in numbers of accounts) will probably act more rational than members of the frightened, over-

"Funny" how nearly everybody from each Euro country seems to think that _they_ are bearing the major burden. I hear it from the Germans, the English, the French, the Greek, the Irish... The blaming and hating is growing. The EU received the

Regarding corporate loyalty and "grooming" leaders from within: Continues to be true in Germany. Especially at successful midsize enterprises ("hidden champions"). Degrees (biz and STEM) are of value also. This headhunting thing and loss of

For "rain" see [1] using the mechanical energy of falling rain drops. For "cold" see [2] the idea of using the potential energy of snow on mountains (or hills). Maybe create artificial avalanches. For "darkness", no idea. :) ----- [1] http

When people ask me what OR is, I say it's "mathematical modeling and computer simulation" or "system analysis and optimization" or just "optimization". Good resource for OR fellows to fish for some nice examples and descriptions: http://ww

1. Once Germany was a leading intellectual, scientific, and engineering powerhouse. Academic titles still have some cultural significance. It might be a kind of a relict. 2. It's worse in Austria.
