Disclaimer: I am not french. I happen to be in Paris in these days in order to have a look at the startup and tech scene there. So far I am surprised how well most french people speak English. Not perfect, of course, but they do not mind sw

The "skin of a rhinoceros" - I liked that the most, as it reflects the development one makes when being part of a minority, no matter if it is sexual, financial ethnical or political nature.

(By sheer coincidence,) I sat next to Mr. Piech in the same Bentley in Paris this year. We had a short conversation, and it took some time before I realized who he was. An old man - with a truly sharp mind. The shadow king of VW.

I am not into the research field of general artifical intelligence. How does the "Human Brain Project" fit into this matter? It seems to me like the EU is directing quite a financial package into the direction of AGI, at least whe

In Germany, Call-a-bike (Deutsche Bahn) [1] operates exactly like this. Bikes can be rented everywhere inside the city, and can be left on every junction within a city. There are no drop-off/rental stations. So far, I did not have any

Hello George, nice to see a chemist, especially one who managed to claim some market share on his own! With hard/wetware, it is not so easy to get your own company going.. and would love to have my own company. I am a chemist, with a

This looks interesting. Congratulations on your product launch. There is something similar out there called calepin (1). It uses the python based pelican static web site generator. Not sure what extra features your solution offers. (1)

You have a point. How often/long do you wash your car, and how much $ do you spend on this? I have to admit, I do not wash my car very often. Pity they did not report anything about the cost of deploying the "dirtophobic" ca

(Disclaimer: I had a fair share of sucker punches with self-cleaning surfaces..) Approaches towards self cleaning surfaces have been seen in the lab since a long, long time: They range from photocatalytic concepts (e.g. TiO2/SiO2/

Combining the scalibility of software startups with biotechnology is a very interesting approach, indeed. Apart from the different timeframe when it comes to working with software and wetware (e.g. lab work with biomaterials), I wonder how

I would love to see an alternative to Google - and I am trying hard to give DDG a chance. But: The quality of the search results just is not there (yet?). Thus I am mostly using the !g parameter prefix when starting a search. Also, I am not

I haven't seen that yet, could be a fun thing to have. I just found an implementation of Tinylisp in go. It would be fun to have all the funky goroutines in a schemish design.. http://www.oki-osk.jp/esc/golang&#x2F

Hi, thanks for the papers! I will have a look on them.

Very interesting pictures. Most photographs I have seen have been taken in black and white, and show the destroyed city in 1944/'45. My family had many tragic memories of the ruins of Warsaw, for they were bound with the jewish gh

Sorry, but could you back up your statements with facts? This sounds to me as a rather generic statement. I have no idea about the adaptive capabilities of tuna, nor do I know the actual change in pH values, or levels of chemical pollution.

Hy looks like fun. On more scheme/lisp derivative on the block. It would be great to see it on IPython.

An alternative to Racket would be Chicken Scheme . But again, anything that has R5RS included will do fine. I would not go with R7RS, but this is just a personal preference. Seems bloated to me.

Hello Maria, of course you are right: we do possess very advanced tools, starting from the actual design of drugs that target certain receptors selectively, medical trials, production and quality control. What I meant by "we do not un

(Disclaimer: I am a python that found a new home in the scheme world) Clojure is a Lisp. Lisp based languages are great. However: One of the problems with clojure - or rather with its home or ecosystem - is the fact that it requires a very

There are many arguments for and against Bitcoin. Only time will tell. But I have three comments: 1. Personally, I would probably be - out of self interest - a strong supporter of Bitcoin if I had any, or would have belonged to the first mi

I find DuckDuckGo to be a nice alternative to Google, although I have to switch to google.com for certain searches. As for email - if I can not connect with IMAP, I am still using the plain old HTML web interface for GMail. The new one has

Nothing new - it sounds like the german schuelerVZ (facebook for pupils). I always wonder what happens to a user base of such a website once it gets older and crosses the magic line - in this example, if maximum of the user distribution get

Thank you for posting this. I am looking into Lisp based languages these days, and as such I find it always good to get more basic information on language semantics. There are a couple of things however that make a transition to Clojure ver

You are right, I should have been more precise. What I meant to say is that prostitution is one way to satisfy the unfulfilled sex drive a man has. I was not talking about feelings, but about a - so to say - intrinsic biological potential t
