Again, you may want to do some research. Many of those I listed are first time founders. Your attitude mirrors the also incorrect idea that scientists must make their name before 30. That too, was studied and found to be completely wrong. I

This is abhorrent ageism, and completely wrong. Peter Thiel, 31, Paypal, 37, Palintar. Larry Elison, 33, Oracle. Reid Hoffman, 35, Linked In. Evan Williams, 35, Twitter. Mark Pincus, 41, Zynga. Arianna Huffington, 54, Huffington Post. Can w

If you are interested in high accuracy for highly diverged DNA, take a look at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20733242 https://github.com/akhudek/feast Sadly, I haven't seen this researc

As far as I know, people generally use more sophisticated algorithms that run on commodity hardware. I remember hearing about this many years ago, but never actually saw it in the wild.

Given your apparent hate for the JVM, I guess you only run C web servers?

One person's anecdote does not make good evidence. Business decisions need to be based on real data, not anecdote, or worse, arrogance from people who think they know a lot more than they do.

I haven't read the book, but your justifications here send up as many red flags as the quote you are addressing. First, a proof is either valid or it is not. You cannot have a "different view" on this. Second, there is no hac

It's about access to resources that you won't have not being part of a university. This is especially true for physical sciences that require expensive laboratory equipment. However, even for something like CS, having access to go

This sounds a lot like you are telling us what you value in life. There are no rules in life and it's not a requirement to have your whole life planned out at every moment in time. Most people don't, including highly successful

This isn't actually very important. At least if you are in STEM. The point of the PhD is to learn. That's valuable to all career paths.

> There are some use cases for which MongoDB will be 5x faster than any other system. This is a really bold claim that I very much doubt is true. For one, there are numerous other document stores that target the same sort of use cases as

This kind of comment really brings down the level of discourse on this site. If the Nexus 4 is cheap and fragile, then the iPhone 4 is broken, cheap and fragile. They are built with the same materials, but the Nexus doesn't suffer from

I can't help but feel that the MBA is the scourge of the modern world. People in leadership positions need to be experts in the field they lead.

What makes you think that you can give a probability that a program has an infinite loop in it? As for your request: https://ece.uwaterloo.ca/~lintan/publications/r2fix-icst13.p... But bugs aside, part of the al

I am skeptical, which is why I don't put much value in your comment. Want to convince me that corn oil is bad or that cell phones cause cancer? Cite proper studies on these things, and don't cherry pick results you like, give me a

That may be so, but the real name policy still has detrimental effects for some users. For example, I've stopped giving reviews to anything on google. Why? I don't want the things I like and dislike, and use broadcast to the world

Might the motivation simply be to get closer to C++ performance? I really don't value this type of response where the benchmark is brought into question, yet nothing is substituted as evidence. In the few cases were someone does claim

The headline of this article bothered me in this regard. Node.js is decidedly middle of the pack in terms of performance: http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/ In addition to various JVM technologies, there are faster

No one denies the importance of Lambda calculus, but you are confusing the notions of minimality, expressivity, and pragmatism. Worse, you can't seem to accept that others do not agree with your notion of an "ideal balance" o

I don't think you miss a single clojure thread with your rhetoric about "what a true lisp is." It really is rather tiring. I'd kindly ask that if you want to promote scheme or common lisp you do it by submitting relevant

I would argue that collaboration is the basis for human civilization. Political cliques, on the other hand, surely are the basis for war.
