I'm very reminded of that old George Carlin skit where he condenses the 10 commandments into 2.

Just FYI, I have an MS in EE and I work at a pattern-rec startup. So, no PhD not really required to get a job in that field. That being said, having a PhD helps alot if you want to take on the 'scientist' role right off the bat (for example

The long term answer is to build a hacker network. That's going to be hard. There is no good short-term answer but here's the only way: asking in the right places (like here) and getting very lucky. Being specific will help: Do you have act

I'm sorry but that's nonsense. People draw graphs all the times to prove things w/o using data. Especially when trends are what is important to convey in a graphical sense. It's not any different then supply/demand curves for different type

As an employee at a face recognition company, I got endless uses for your 128 cores. Give me 128 cores on your machine and suddenly a whole lot of the "robust" media search algorithms become much more viable.

There is no requirement in the Graphing Bylaws that states graphs must come from real data. They are just another way of graphically displaying what he believes to be true. Feel free to argue with his beliefs. Blogs are about conveying opin

I am employed at a Pittsburgh tech startup (www.pittpatt.com). There seems to be alot of benefits from our perspective to Pittsburgh. The primary difficulty is the prebuilt assumption in the CS/EE programs that you need to leave Pittsburgh

No, but almost. First, twitter, unlike facebook, is asymmetric. Therefore, I can follow all my favorite web-celebrities, and they can totally ignore me. Second, because twitter is about more then just the most recent message from that user

Seems odd to me that female entrepreneurs would feel the need to market themselves like this. I guess a good entrepreneur never misses an opportunity, huh? Regardless, I'd rather date an angel investor.

How did you decide that social networking is "merely a distraction", and yet games "have the ability to give people joy and escape"? > I might be too idealist. Are you really? If you really and truly want to have a net positive effect o

not gonna lie, i'd use this site :) I basically use AIM for precisely this purpose, at this point. I have my own little AIM mini-network for link spamming amongst friends.

There are a million reasons but let me give you a simple one: if it can produce faster code. Giving 10% performance improvement in some fields (games?) is worth a metric buttload of money.

AD HOMINEM! No seriously. It is. If you present an argument online, and someone points out that you've committed a logical fallacy. They've undermined your argument and rendered your conclusion unproven. If your response is to attack them a

There's actually two separate skills here. One is learning to just read code, as in, understanding what the code is saying. The second is understanding the code, which would be what the code is doing. Learning to just read the code requires

Well, I disagree that it's completely unapproachable. And I take a slight bit of offense that you think my comments are disingenuous. You don't sit down to "solve" an open problem. You sit down to learn things about it. And your claim that

Bah. I love working on impossible (or rather, impossibly difficult) math problems... especially on airplanes when I get sick of reading. The point isn't to solve them but simply to understand why they are hard. When you get a glimpse into t

Ugh. The absurdly misleading title totally ruined this article for me. Usually when you put someone's name followed by quotes that means, ya know, they actually said something. Isn't that supposed to be journalism 101? Don't put quote marks

Let me add to the chorus: the density option in preferences saved it for me. I was absolutely dreading the beta.reddit.com because of all the whitespace and when it went live I was sad. Then I found about the compress option and now I'm muc

It's a good idea. I like it. Also, I'm pretty sure "imappriately" isn't a word. Check your FAQ :P

It depends alot on the technical sophistication required to implement your idea. If it requires a good deal of technical sophistication, you are going to have to locate a good technical co-founder and that's going to be relatively difficult

> I'd prefer things not directly technical though not necessarily fiction. Sounds exactly like me. I strongly suggest: 1. The Selfish Gene (Richard Dawkins) 2. The Demon-Haunted World (Carl Sagan) ...or if you need a little inspiration.
