How did Chand John go about his job search? Did he leverage industry connections that he made during internships? Did he leverage industry connections made doing tech transfer for his research? I know of absolutely 0 PhDs who did these thin

I don't know if I'd go that far. As an American who lived in NZ for a few years I got a very pacific northwest vibe from the NZ cities. If you like Portland or Seattle, Wellington is sweet as.

Text formats can be downright huge, however. I've worked with quite a few meshes that exceed 100s of megabytes when stored as obj, but compress down nicely in binary. What we really need is a simple binary obj file. It would be a no-br

I'm curious if anyone has developed a plugin that is able to capture meshes and textures displayed through WebGL? If your graphics card is rendering these things, the data is obviously there, and one should simply be able to dump a few

Outside of the traditional finance areas, commercial internet access can sometimes be a bit spotty as well. Large swaths of Brooklyn just aren't wired up. Hell, even in midtown I had a buddy uproot and move offices because Time Warner

If you factor in the hit or miss quality of public schools and the cost of sending a child to private school, NYC starts to look incredibly expensive. Elementary school tuition can crack $30k, more than many Universities! [1] [1] http:&#x2

Much like the micro climates it seems pretty regional in SF [1]. Although this Forbes article seems to suggest that single women should look in the Tenderloin for single men. ;) [1] http://www.forbes.com/sites/trulia&#x

> Yes, maybe 5-7 times as much. I do not think we are arguing here. My point is that good professors and good universities have a solid quality of life. Whether this reward system is the best for society in the long term is another quest

It's usually a big deal when a professor fails to make tenure at a respectable university. I can think of multiple case studies at MIT and Stanford. Departments look bad when they are forced to drop promising talent.

So let's pick a mid-range public research university with mandatory salary reporting. I'm going to go with bio medical engineering at UNC Chapel Hill [1]. These cats are breaking 100k at associate professor. This is also just sala

That seems like an unusually low salary, then. Let's pick a major public research university in the US and a department, say Physics UT Austin (feel free to play the same game with data from another public and another department, like

I'm a big fan Landau and Lifshitz's "Mechanics." Starting from nothing they hit the major results in classical mechanics in 224 pages. Short. Sweet. Elegant.

Why is the entirety of Columbia University labeled as 1901? Low Library was built in 1895 [1], and a number of the buildings on campus date from when the area was a mental asylum [2]. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lo

How does the code handle the jump from SE(2) to SE(3) in a clean fashion? Pretty much any integrator you cook up will keep your configuration in SE(2), but a discrete integrator of the Newton-Euler equations takes a bit more care.
