Yes - the continuous improvement cycle is much faster on machines!

They're also a SW firm that seems to know how to manage complexity. There's a lot of software firms that I still wouldn't trust. :-)

What's this do for your willingness to use a driverless car? My outsider's impression is similar to your insiders - the complexity of external systems is catching up with embedded systems, but perhaps not the practices and talent.

3% of 13.7 billion (and growing) is still worth writing home about!

One thing that makes counting tough is that in NYC there isn't a hard divide between tech and non-tech, and many firms support niche verticals. Rather than general purpose Big Data companies, we have Big Data for Media, or Big Data fo

You're correct here. Superstars are expensive, and need certain types of roles to stay. If you don't have that offer, it's better to not design recruiting strategies around that.

I think there are many upsides: - The candidate gets to know the company better. - The company gets to know the candidate better. - You can check for fit as well as technical competency. Some of the downsides people raise make less sense: -

I look at this way... If you're 2/3 of the way through the process (66% pass rate) and you think there's a high chance of leaving your current job, it's worth the risk. You can always take a 2 week break between jobs.

Very powerful way to get incremental revenue by reframing the question.

I wish there were an accurate way to measure this.

Your English is more than strong enough to get the point across. I agree with you - we do what we can on the margins. It's tough to take overly absolute positions. That's what I was calling out in my post.

Is the converse also true? People say that a bull market can't be stop until the last bear has been shot. (Then again, who are these "people" that keep saying things?)

Forcing simplicity during design seems like a great way to avoid the complexity that takes over many larger projects. Too bad this couldn't be done nationally. I'm curious what the cost of this system was. Or perhaps more import

This is a very strong statement. It means you wouldn't want to work for any of the software or hardware firms that supply them. Eliminate Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, and most networking and big data providers from your list. Eliminate a

I don't unfriend often. I think the only time was when someone was doing hate speech. I generally just block comments from folks who get too crazy political. All this said, I would think that writing a program for oneself to do this

The real question is "What's the research for?" If it's to advance the state of the art in academia, or to push an academic career, the Phd really is required. (Much of it is the habits and network too) If it's art

I do get a kick out of all the complaints and snarky comments. Sometimes you just have to do one thing very right, and everything else takes care of itself.

I think this is a good point. In addition to not "shutting down the assembly line" it's important to set the proper direction. Many interruptions come from poor planning. "Stop doing that, do this," frequently is

In the spirit of inquiry, I'm waiting for the other half of this story. These articles seem sensationalist. So what's the catch? Does it have to do with studies being pre-clinical and more likely to be wrong? Or is it that the

I've wondered the same. And the answer is a delusional, "I'll figure it out when I get there."

Do the grants include general state support for in-state students? Since it's a public school the math I laid out would change. Certainly much larger average class size. To prior points, it is hard to get to the bottom of financials.

I appreciate your insight. Let's do a very back of the envelope oversimplified calculation... Let's say assume the following: - Semester system - Each teacher teaches 5 classes per year (2 one semester, 3 the other) - Each student

Point well taken. I appreciate your insight. So here's a secondary question... Could the overall cost of the education be reduced if the intro classes were taught online? Or the non-humanities intro classes taught online?

I have a dim view of research in the humanities. I have a strong view of teaching in the humanities. In my mind, much of engineering, computer science, math, and non-lab science can be efficiently taught online. Probably a lot of business

I think the challenge is how do you identify experts? Does a Professor have to earn it over time? Are some professorships worth more than others?

This isn't just for innovation, it's for getting things done. I struggled to come up with a name for the Useless Extraneous Suggestions, and then I heard someone call it "Advice from the Idea Fairy." Perhaps it comes f
