The training of the models is expensive, but after you have the parameters, saving and using the model becomes cheaper (which meets your needs).

New hires need to be onboarded properly - specifically, you need to set expectations quickly. Having a place (like confluence, or other wiki) where these are documented is a good start (so you can later reference them) - but simply put, you

1. Many papers are never put into textbooks (or if they are, its much later) 2. A ton of research papers are extremely dense, while the actual 'newness' could be explained with a simpler definition and a really good diagram or cod

I dont think 'collaboration' is the problem, I think the main problem is the presentation. Academics want the credit for their work, which I think they should retain. However, dissemination of work is lacking - there are tons of s

you only need to go through the array one time - here you are doing it multiple times.... also, you can define a order independent hashing function, that just maybe assigns prime numbers to each letter and adds them up.... instead... hashed

You're not required to have a co-founder. No need to be angry about this, but be objective: two or three smart people can accomplish more than one smart person. You can work hard and maybe bootstrap your way to an MVP of a product, but

Couple things. 1. They hired you, and maybe you didn't fit or enjoy the environment, or even like the people, but you should at least be grateful that they hired you and paid your bills. Try to maintain that attitude upon leaving. 2. Y

It depends on the service being offered mostly. Often, in b2b sales, its up to you to understand how much value your service will generate for the client, and how to correctly price that. For instance, offering a service that could double a

Have you done your due diligence - is it a good place to work? Are there smart people there? Are you going into a job you actually want to? If so, go for it. You'll never know until you do. If you have reservations, or need more time,

Interesting to hear - would be interested to hear someone utilizing more of the selling points - distributed queries, etc.

Could you explain why you think the recursive strategy is a bad one for working out criss-cross merges?

I like seeing this kind of thing out of microsoft - tons of smart people there. Although, how about first things first, and allow excel to handle more than a million rows?

How does framing the question this way lead to deeper thinking or rather, yield different answers, than the typical questions of 'whats the bigger picture' or 'whats the company vision' ?

Sounds like you are approaching burnout my friend. Beware the unsustainability of this approach. Launch is simply the start of a long journey. If the launch fails to get traction, will you have the energy to continue?

At the end of the day, programming is about mapping physical typing into (stored) changes in electrical signals (in transistors, capacitors, etc). The 'theory' that we can somehow reduce this complexity to 'thousands of lines

Its pretty bogus how the FDA gets lobbied for things like this, and it ends up convoluting the message to the american public. For instance, read this article on how 'organic' / 'antibiotic-free' eggs were still abl

I'd go with Rails, if you are choosing by framework. If you are choosing by language, well, then choose the language you want to work in. Your characterization of Ruby vs Python i think is very flawed though, and of course doesn't

Firefox already does a lot - how about a website similar to 'RailsCasts' that takes different use cases and shows how to do them with FireFox plugins? I think its important to differentiate different users / use cases, becaus

Start by finding something you want to code. Then think about it for a few days, and let the pressure build up. Then one day, instead of turning on the tv or going to HN, remove distractions and commit to 10 minutes of coding with no distra
