I recently had a chit-chat with a 5th year phd friend of mine in front of the stanford bookstore. We both did academic research, and both know all too well the incredible frustration of tech not-having full penetrated academic research. If

The whole Stanford vs. Berkeley... Honestly, if you make anything more of it than the joke it's intended to be, you're wasting time. To be fair, he did joke earlier this quarter about how Stanford is outscoring Berkeley in terms of the valu

what about Jeff Bezos (ok, he's EE [yay, EE!]), or Richard Brandson (or it's really Rutan's brainchild)? OK, Virgin Galatic is child-play next to SpaceX, but it still demonstrate that billionaires can invest in AA.

My Palo Alto rent is too high, so 4 million people in 20 years isn't enough.

Surplus of capital is a huge factor. Got numbers? When Peter Thiel started his class at Stanford, he spent the first couple of lectures reviewing the 90's. One of his argument to explain the dot com bubble was the influx of capital from ar

You are a random billionaire (i.e. not Mark Zuckerberg) with a billion dollars. You could: A. Buy Instagram. B. Build SpaceX from scratch. Most of them would probably buy instagram. :(

For Elon: "Here's to the Crazy Ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote

As a hard-science researcher, I've long thought that scientists should fight for the right to publish their findings (report, data...etc) to an open source github-like service, in addition to the scientific publications they already submit
