Thank you for the info. I am glad that you are passionate about your work and have faith in your company's executives. There are many groups of humans on earth who believe they hold special knowledge, are able to do things no one else can d

I wonder how hands on Larry Page is. I cant imagine that some Googler asked Larry face to face about XMPP. I cant even imagine that it was a bullet point in a video chat. Maybe it was an email to a large group of people that Larry may or ma

Yeah, I was expecting whole exome in a few hours or something. I'm waiting for that press release still.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing...but my gut instinct is that this is a business decision and not "doing the right thing" unless by "doing the right thing" you meant doing the thing that makes good business sense.

There are many many many many many people who have stopped using Google products for various political and policy reasons. You know this right?

If the company had to decide between loosing thousands of dollars every time this happens or have some process of tracking / taking notes / assuring quality of the process- believe me- the company would change their behavior. But in this ca

I didnt realize this was something that was still up for debate. In my experience source code has been a requirement since I entered the game- especially for high impact journals.

I like duckduckgo.com. Somehow, whenever I try it I always end up back over at google. The results arent really better at google- they are just tied into the way we work and live. Its hard to untangle it all. I also like firefox and opera.

Do you actually have usage data for some public proxies or just making it up as you go?

Is anyone with a small child currently planning on how to get their kid into Stanford? My intuition is that Stanford (and the other elite schools of today) will not be so important in 20 years.

Some labs are conservative because they are worried that they will not be able to reproduce the same analysis. For example, imagine that a lab had been collecting samples and executing the current code as they came in. Now imagine, two year

I dont think the problem is people (researchers, developers) but of the infrastructure for research. Researchers are constantly thinking about getting new grants and renewing old ones the way politicians are constantly worried about their c

Let me get this straight- "no matter how noble" a political goal is- to you, that message being spread to others is less important than uninterrupted access to download your class syllabus or read your friends' blogs? If your parents or gov

I do not condone the attacks that may be occurring. However, if you are trying to get someone's attention- it makes more sense to get the attention of the students rather than the administration. Today's MIT students are tomorrow's death-ra

Dear white knight fuzzy dunlop, You might be reading too much into these photos. There are some photos of women from the front and some from the back. In those cases you have decided that the photos are of their breasts or butt. I think thi

Are you from the U.S.? I am, and also had a hard time believing this story when I heard coworkers talking about it. Then I realized this guy is from Netherlands. This is a much more believable story set in NL.

It sounds like "being a perl programmer" was one of the main characteristics you and your boss were looking for in the beginning... this is a red flag for me- if I am learning more about a job and they seem too concerned to get a "perl prog

People have been saying this for a long time. Automated picking has been around for years. When Amazon bought the large e-commerce place I worked for, the first thing they did was turn off the automated picking and replace it with people. W

I dunno- I think all you have to do is improve schools honestly. Young parents in America are starving for good education. For example, you could start really good charter schools that only allow residents from the area. The trick is making
