reminds me of my old philosophy professor, he never used slides or anything. Just transparencies and "a magic lantern" hahaha -- he didn't even call'em projectors!

would it really simplify your life, if relatives/parents/lovers come back and bite your ass later about social rules...

+1 this is so, so true. We're always trying to make computers more human, so why do we make ourselves more like machines?

that is a really fantastic point I thought I was good at it until I hit 17-18, doing advanced mathematics. I really didn't understand Taylor series, and I just froze up on the calculations. You fall behind, and then the class just move

If you took additional math along with basic/elementary math, they do go into more detail about the branches of mathematics. There's also further mathematics and combined mathematics, both are A level subjects. I think basic math

I went through the UK education as well, did you do just E math? You can take Additional Math along with it, that covers complex/imaginary numbers as well as Poisson sequencing/binomial theorem. The thing is, I use very little abs

yeah, reminds me of this other website: http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ should we be hard-coding our styles into html and stop making stylesheets though? seems like a balance is needed

thank you! I'm hoping this thing works out. It sounds super idealistic, but nowadays I think the only way to get real research out is to leave academia... which is why I decided to form a startup with my research partner. We aren'

yes that's my concern (drug interactions) I've seen curious users mix all kinds of things without checking first, and they've never had any experience in doing drugs (either legal or illegal) and end up worse off In terms of

If anyone is seriously considering taking LSD please check for drug/chemical interactions first Most drugs have zero effect if you have ptsd, clinical depression and schizoaffective or similar; LSD will probably make it worse and party

I did an O-1 visa through my startup. Incorporate the startup first, then start the visa process it's quicker. You need a selection of press, articles/proof of your expertise as well as 12-18 letters of recommendation from well-kn

Well that's the problem with preconceptions of feminism. Egalitarianism was originally a spinoff from 60s feminism (lead by Stein, Haraway, Latour etc) They actually went one step beyond that human equality, but suggested that machines

Nah this was a traditional scholarship with research funding inclusive. It was difficult to turn down because of that NYU and other private universities (Saas-fae etc.) will charge PhD candidates because they can. They have prestige, more a

+1 and also it's less frightening for a young girl (say, 12 or 13) to purchase from an older woman than an older man. In straight marketing terms, it's great for creating rapport and point of reference.

yes that's what my professor/mentor told me. It was just hard to turn this one down since the university did not usually offer scholarships (nyu)

any inelastic demand markets will not follow that model. tournament-systems rely on incredible elasticity of demand so any small change will cause ripple of larger magnitude (i.e. if a new VC joined in the supply of VCs, it will cause 1000x

I declined a PhD offer (full-ride even!) for a start-up It wasn't the money potential, but the lack of opportunities in the field. You can work for less pay if you're compensated for something else in terms of opportunity cost (so

The first half sounds like an echo-chamber hugbox The second sounds useful, but mainly because the content was useful. Did any of the conference address what a female founder is specifically? I'm still concerned that a Female Founders

my co-founder and myself met similarly through IRC, but we never exchanged irl names. Much much later, by coincidence, we ended up in the same grad school program and that's how we started our company I think at a certain age/time

that's the problem with a lot of places that deliberate try to be so-so 'science hub'. the thing with scientific research is that doesn't always turn into a positive result - much of it is messy, we don't know a lot

I'm curious what kind of programming will be taught. Processing? Python? Javascript/jquery? Will the focus be on more 'learning the basics' i.e. what is an array, how to write a forloop or a focus on a specific, usable l

Didn't they try to trademark 'saga' at some point too? Complaining that Viking Saga was a copy of their game? This whole trademark of common English terms is going to ruin the industry

He sounds like he wants to be a self-sacrificing martyr hero for coding. What's the point of all this? Are we supposed to hail him as a "one true coder" for willing to do this? Is this a competition about who can take the mos
