It is rare for innovation to be technical or purely technical. It is far more common for innovation to be from a novel business model, which perhaps is enabled by the technical innovation from someone else. Many times one technical innovati

Scientists don’t get paid anything regardless of whether or not you pay a subscription/article fee to the science journals. The best thing to do to benefit scientists (usually) is to spread awareness of their work, as that is the main

You do it by management not making things zero sum, and by correcting/penalizing people for blaming behavior (e.g. saying a root cause is that a team/person made a mistake, vs a system not preventing or mitigating the mistake)

It’s definitely possible, but I think there’s still a palpable difference today. As an example, this work from 1989 on how telomeres work was awarded a Nobel in 2016. It’s not unreadable, but it has a completely different (and I would say w

One of my PhD classes was a paper reading seminar that spanned most of the history of modern molecular biology, from 1959 to the present. It was starkly apparent how much worse the writing quality became around the mid-1980s and beyond. Com

I used to be the tech lead for the sharing and permissions side of a file storage service. In my experience with designing systems, participating in user studies, trying to problem solve with coworkers, and so on, this is an extremely hard

1) Maybe a solution could be to give power users an escape hatch with big red warnings that doing so voids any support or terms of service guarantees, sort of like how Apple allows non-signed apps, but not be default. 2) Even with a mechani

The way my workplace addresses this is: 1. Transitioning to management or tech lead is not a promotion, but a change in responsibilities (and transitions back are common); 2. Whether manager or IC, we only promote people based on demonstrat

Large companies tend towards politics because it’s hard to build empathy and trust across thousands of people. Academic departments tend towards politics because nominal leaders either have no training or no power

At least at many big companies, there’s a dual career ladder for ICs and managers, with equal pay across equivalent levels (e.g. Manager ~ Senior engineer, Director ~ Principal Engineer)

I also highly recommend the book “Difficult Conversations”, which has a similar overall idea with a slightly different way of framing and breaking down the hard parts of these conversations.

The kinds of things I look for in evaluating senior candidates are things like: - Payments flow kept going down because of lack of reliability in our CI, so I rebuilt the job queueing system to get to 99% reliability - Most of our business

The older choice usually by default has: - More people who know how to operate it - A greater portion of its failure modes that are known, with workarounds - Mature tooling and libraries New technologies need a compelling reason that their

Reading code may not be like reading literature, but I find writing code to be remarkably similar to writing prose. I wrote about that in more detail here: http://www.ericsuh.com/blog/posts/2016/01/writin

From the abstract of the paper itself: "In the absence of immigration, wages for US computer scientists would have been 2.6% to 5.1% higher and employment in computer science for US workers would have been 6.1% to 10.8% higher in 2001&

The best thing is to give your students the freedom and encouragement to do internships during their PhD/MA/MS. That'll help them find outside mentors, experience, and contacts, as well as in-roads to future employment

+1. People who have been in management (or are "people" people) are often good speakers that do very well at a surface level, so it requires digging deeper to get a richer picture of what they were thinking and what they did.

IMO, having interviewed hundreds of candidates, whiteboard coding selects works very well for hiring a very specific type of fresh-out-of-CS-undergrad student, but it breaks down in almost every other scenario. For more experienced candidat

Note that even in CP mode, committed messages can be dropped as well (one of the pitfalls I assume you've experienced) when the cluster heals from partition. cf link in my sibling comment.
