Seems like the [VC funded] startup grind. Working college grads to death with the hope of being Mark Zuckerberg (or maybe not anymore). But mostly to make billionaires even richer. The irony is that US society now has more than enough wealt

I wish you the best, but there's no one to talk to because no one has succeeded doing it. No science is done by independent researchers. You'd be limited to a very tiny sliver of research that doesn't require staff or expensi

I feel like these are weasel words, and I could use the same argument about anything. I could say Clinton let the email scandal happen. Or that Clinton indirectly leaked classified emails, which is kinda true. Or someone can say Clinton is

You're right. Facebook has not sold personal information to advertisers. That's factually false. What I think we should say instead, is that Facebook sold the notion that 'they knew about you and your preferences' to hel

This is where I think academia has got it right. When you do something, you get full credit on it -- your name on the paper, your face on the book and department website, you're the one giving the presentation, you're the one who

I feel like there's so many of these foundations, but how are the people doing the research able to keep track of and apply to them all? It would take a growing amount of time to find, read the requirements, prepare application materia

Are we really now scolding people for crawling the web now, and not following terms of services on Hacker News of all places? And your stance is that people aren't allowed to judge characteristics about you from your public photo that

After reading that, I think that post actually supports my claim and makes me think the same thing after reading Judea Pearl's book. There is a redefinition of causality going on, and a bunch of implicit assumptions, namely that the st

I read it a while ago and don't know that much about causality, but my conclusion was the opposite of the author's: that it's not possible to infer causal relationships from observations only. All the papers I have read that
