I attended one special lecture by Prof. Bose while at MIT. I can't remember the subject matter specifically -- something about acoustics. But I remember the feeling of the man: humble, wise, noble. This news reminds me of that feeling.

It would be fascinating to know more about how Bose funded his company without venture captital. Has that story been told somewhere? And, who's "Lee"? Thanks!

I had the good fortune of taking this course from Prof. Leiserson a good many years ago -- and ended up having him as my Masters thesis advisor. His ethics pep talk, which is a mainstay of all his courses, are about not cheating on the take

From this description, the mainstream view seems to subscribe to the discredited Lamarckian view of evolution, i.e. the idea that traits acquired during parents lifetime (e.g. bigger brains from eating meat) can be transmitted to offspring.

This reminds me of Jack Welch's dictum to make every interaction with an employee an opportunity for evaluation. In quiet, implicit ways, a manager should always be evaluating his or her people, he says. The flip side suggested by this pi

In the end, "be good" makes perfect business sense in a free-market economy. In the past, it was easier to get away without being good due to local distribution monopolies and the high barriers to entry in specific industries, reducing over

Interesting to note that the individuals named are all non-Italian Google execs and employees. Perhaps the Italian government has no real intention of punishing individuals, but just wants to make a stink about this to try to scare UGC site

I think it does casually suggest that there should have been a test for the '/' literal, which seems simplistic. In addition to testing for google.com, a more robust test might be to assert that >90% (or some such threshhold) of results

I think this email is remarkably effective in blending at least three tactics, only one of which is telling the recipient how he feels. The second tactic is rousing the other person's sense of shame: "I think this is more a matter of respec

Reddit just added a feature that puts a dotted-line box around the headline you just clicked on, to make it quicker to find the headline to either up or downmod or comment on when you return to Reddit after reading the piece. A nice feature
