   Yes - very clear that he lands on the side of Norvig, but he takes it to an extreme further than Norvig, no?

   I like this article, but I think he misses that part of the problem with early AI (in addition to not enough processing power) was poor mental models. AI became LISP programming. Another comment of his is a stretch: The system just figure

   Seems like a good move. It sends a signal that it's ok for faculty to work in industry. Probably a net benefit to the school, but perhaps may have some unintended consequences of faculty leaving too. Doesn't CMU also have a camp

   I suspect that a lot of biotech and green energy investors are very good at other things. They came into the money by being good IT entrepreneurs and investors.

    I agree - it sounded very much like someone trying to be "out there writing" rather than a real expert. It was just written like an amateur. That said, who am I to pick on someone trying to improve their online presence?

    There is some irony of an article about generosity coming from a Wharton professor. :-) I do like the outcome though - model the behaviors that you want your kids to follow.

    It seems like the OP is advocating the surgical team [0] approach to software development. This seems very consistent with DevOps. Have a group of specialists that are good at automating operations surround the key developers. [0] http:&

    Very long story. Only halfway through the original referenced article, and I can tell the writer has some solid economics chops.

    Interesting if the current crew at Yahoo would treat them the same. It seems like they're more friendly to emerging players.

    The depth and breadth of the YC partner community is astounding. They keep building from strength to strength. I've always viewed the weakness of the model as talent - it's harder to scale people than money. So far they seem to

    I don't follow this chart. If the right (male) side is further to the right of 50%, shouldn't the left (female) side be proportionally to the left of the 50% too? The average line doesn't line up either. It's a real is

    I used to be scared of buying real estate in coastal cities for this very reason. Now I think of it this way... Maybe it's inevitable. And if it is, perhaps it's cheaper to build walls around cities if the cities are worth savin

    It seems like Airbnb helped out the person, but I can't see this not happening more frequently. It's like an inverse network effect - 10 times the customers, 10 times the wrong things, and 10 times the people who care about bad t

    Yes - that's my point. An imperfect tool used by a team that's universally following a "good enough" process is much better than striving for perfection in either the tool or the process. I've spent time in organiz

    Great article. The gulf between Japan and the US is massive. Every article about it scratches the surface, but there is always more to learn. While I don't agree with all the oversimplifications in the article, I do enjoy it.

    This is a very touchy area. You have to get buy-in from your employer for side projects, otherwise they (with some legal standing) believe they own the work. The only alternative is to be very discreet about what you do on the side. It&#
