Come on folks, how is all this half-information bashing better than trial by media? We don't know exactly what happened. There are various incentives for both parties to say things…

Until recently, I thought that the patents issue was a PITA, but not that big of a deal, and something that would eventually pass after a lot of damage is done. Now, I really belie…

You raise a great point. Definitely agree on the fact that legal / ethical frameworks are required. However, it might be very hard to do without knowing what the emulated "being" l…

I agree. In terms of learning new things, the vote count helps tremendously! You can tell that a security-related suggestion earning 50 up votes is sound (of course considering con…

One very surprising example of someone playing with single eye vision. Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mansoor_Ali_Khan_Pataudi ) played in the Indian cricke…

I'm a PhD student working in machine learning, and I very highly recommend this library. I've used it for all sorts of problems within and outside my research, and it just works gr…

We’re in the most ridiculous industry on earth. You can whip something up in a few hours and before you know it, people around the world will be using it. Oh how I love this field!…

In today's context, most work in AI is statistics-based. So if you are talking about conventional AI (logic-based for example), yep it would be relatively harder to find. Lets not …

Its really bad that they've shut it down without any notice, at least for people to note down their data.

Thanks much for your detailed feedback. We do plan on incorporating more events and activities from varied sources in the future. And yes, IE support is also on the way.

Yahoo Upcoming, although we plan to incorporate others in the near future.

Please give your feedback on our site www.furlango.com It is a website that lets you find events and things to do around you - concerts, shows, sporting events, devcamps, etc. Alon…

I work in image processing / computer vision (albeit in completely different applications), and the technology is not very good at doing that, at least yet. On the other hand, when…

There is no satisfaction like adding value to someone's life through your work.

Very important point. This will also help people to easily transition between online / offline working with tools that they already have. Especially, since such charts often includ…

"My main motivation is to produce an original piece of work" In that case, I suggest working on it right now, before a PhD. You can start doing a heavy literature review on a focus…

If your objective is only to get focused and motivated, and not necessarily do research, a PhD might be too much of a time sink (I am a PhD student in CS). More so if you are think…

The lesson I learn from Hacker Monthly: you can make something truly beautiful with content and ideas (articles / comments) out there. You need to see the opportunity and execute i…

"I knew it (in the shower) was a good time to have ideas. Now I'd go further: now I'd say it's hard to do a really good job on anything you don't think about in the shower." This i…

Agree completely. The question (probably similar to patents,) is: How can we protect the spirit of why this law is in place (to recognize the contribution of those who may not be d…

Unfortunately, this labeling and clinging onto the early hypothesis happens all too often in daily life. For medical diagnosis, we wish the standards would be higher, but at the ve…

"My measurement will be the parking lot: it should be substantially full at 7:30 AM and 6:30 PM" In other words: I know its not a good measure (based on a previous statement), but …

Being a PhD student, that touches a sensitive nerve. They say a dissertation is never finished, its abandoned!

Sports - absolutely cannot live without. Enjoy it as much as my work. Anything goes: soccer, volleyball, squash, or rarely some water sports. I follow a lot of sports too.

An absolutely refreshing read first thing Monday morning.. A welcome change from logical hair-splitting arguments (as much as I love them) into something that matters most - emotio…
