Is that the fixed cost/book? What field(s) are you publishing in?

YMMV, but in the past, I've found it fairly easy to just have windows users install python(x,y) for scientific computing purposes. It's huge, but afterwards, most things just work. Anaconda is also a good choice.

Some chemistry journals do not allow you to publish if you place a copy on a preprint server like arxiv. The key to this battle will be funding agencies.

I think internships are extremely useful! I went through a lot in high school and college trying to figure out what exactly I wanted (or didn't want to do). Now, I have a number of interns and some of them have gone on to graduate

It looks interesting! I loved the TV series--but was sad about all of the copyright issues it faced.

People are mentioning Bell Labs, but at it's peak, Bell Labs was THE place to be for condensed matter (my area of physics) research. Academia is littered with people who worked at Bell labs during some part of their career. However,

Thanks for that--I hadn't even considered the possibility of multiple viewers!

Does anyone have any thoughts about the pros and cons of this over the Oculus rift for scientific visualization? It seems that it might be easier to deal with user interaction for the Hololens, but without playing with one, it would be har

Just curious--I believe that you can use WeChat to book a ride using some of Uber's competitors. Can you book an Uber using WeChat?

Wow, I actually got down voted on this. So, let me clarify. There's an interesting case study of a woman who does not experience fear at all due to brain damage: http://news.discovery.com/human/psychology/f

Just curious, have you asked the researchers for their code? I've found that some people are willing to share their code and others aren't (some are just shy and embarrassed about how ugly it is, others have less justifiable reas

It's not math or CS, but some chemistry journals don't allow preprints on the arxiv. Also, for some new results in physics, you don't put them on the arxiv if you're worried about being scooped...

Hi! I saw you guys there! A friend suggested that adjustable tension in the glove rather than haptics might be a good way to deal with interaction.

To be fair, I think that ExtJs 4 offered a number of improvements over 3--but also introduced a lot of backwards incompatibility...

I've also been thinking about migrating away from Ext--on the one hand there are theming issues--on the plus side, I rather like their grid widget. But, their licensing model just seems to keep changing and that worries me enough to

I think a more interesting line to see would be graduation rates...At least in the US, the average graduation rates from college are surprisingly (at least to me!) low at around 55%.

The actual report showing the debunking is quite good! http://web.stanford.edu/~dbroock/broockman_kalla_aronow_lg_i... This was a relatively high profile paper. I wonder how much slips through in lower impact journal
