Release in Germany is delayed due to server issues. You can download the APK and play the game if you want to. I'm sticking with Ingress until the final release. It's pretty bad that Google can't scale this. It's not lik

I don't quite agree. With a small and somewhat trivial codebase sure I'd agree. Once you get into more complicated things, programming is the harder discipline. Most importantly I don't know if you can even compare the two fa

Motivate your inner perfectionist by telling it that the perfect way of learning is trying a lot of different approaches and not one perfected approach. That way you can satisfy the meta-perfectionist while violating perfectionism on the da

Is there a reason why Mozilla shouldn't decline and take the money 100% of the time?

Wouldn't it be simpler so identify which size worked well for you without thinking about management much (probably up to 20ish) and then splitting the company into teams of max. that size? Sure for some types of businesses that won&#x2

I recently watched the Arizona Cardinals documentation that is on Amazon Prime video (iirc it's called "All or Nothing" but searching for "Cardinals" finds it). It's excellent. The most interesting thing for me

I think it's a political problem. Most researchers and professors tend to be employed by the state. Lobby the state to give very high preference to open access publication. In an ideal world I'd read a sentence like this in a hiri

The best advice for very busy professors is to find the correct researcher working on their team (scan papers for the one that seems to be coauthor in the field you want to ask about). Most of the time it'll get delegated to them eithe

Yeah my initial reaction was...wait a second ML is used in info sec. The most obvious examples are intrusion detection and general network analysis. A less glamorous example is pretty much every spam filter (which also filters fishing stuff

So this is traceable to the Intel reference implementation. I am going to assume incompetence but let's say I would assume malice instead (some government agent wrote the reference spec full well knowing it's exploitable with or w

If you extend OR to theories you should select the one that has the least ad-hoc hypotheses (or the smallest set of auxiliary hypotheses in the Lakatos sense). In other words one could argue that theories get "worse" with more aux

I my case it's more a philosophical issue. I feel fairly uncomfortable working under those regulations (to the point of contemplating quitting an otherwise very interesting job every now and then) because I have a problem with uncondit

The idea of taking higher salary over options is basically summed up in the "why your dentist is rich" chapter in Fooled by Randomness. It's "safer" and you'll be relatively rich over all outcomes. Additionally

I like the basic idea and it's nicely presented however conceptually I'd favor a model where the employee gains come primarily from the losses of later stage investors and not early stage investors (and founders). ""&quo

The getting fired part is a two sided sword though. I have to give notice up to 6 month in advance (I don't know the exact number it's a bit complicated). In theory I can dissolve my contract ("Auflösungsvertrag") on the

What he describes (a product growing in complexity) isn't a typical economics of scale type of product. I'd also argue that the general observation is true for all complex products. Even a car has relatively high R&D cost and

I have actually come to the conclusion that Amazon has "trapped" me with service not price. I often buy stuff that's a little more expensive on Amazon just because I know I get a reliable shipment and know when it will arrive

So employees get roughly 25% extra shares (RSUs, vesting in 12 month) and the C series investors get >50%? Just out of curiosity, could the employees sue (and are they also releasing their legal claims if they accept the deal)? The same

Keep in mind that their bottleneck is likely not capital but available partners. One partner can only handle a couple of companies/board seats. Andreessen calls this having only so many tickets to punch.

My litmus test for being a writer is fairly simple. How many completed items do you have lying around. I don't care if they are published but they need to be finished (as in a cohesive and typed out whole). It's basically the same

I think that's a pretty great idea actually. If anyone here has the reach to get this on their table please do reach out. It would be even greater if they'd use some replication metric in their ranking algorithm for the papers. Th
