by sleeping with his girlfriend, then you don't have to listen to any of his future ideas! Problem solved.

HAHA. As a PhD student, I agree with most of your sentiments. The PhD application process is nothing, try applying for fellowships. Go to a prestigious institution, pull allnighter…

how do you do customer development in a forest, unless all your customers are gorillas and bears.

They talk about your attitude when you were talking to them. Are they convinced by your eye contact and shoes? If you don't take care of your appearance, you won't meticulously con…

Choosing 2 of 3 is true for early-stage startups. But once things take off, then you can get 3 out of 3 as you are able to delegate some of the work out to your employees. Then, yo…

Yes! I hate it when startups think they are so cool by using Facebook/Social logins. Sane users have one good email account for work/important stuff and one useless email account f…

It also makes you one dimensional because everyone is like you. This can be bad for your own personal development and coming across ideas in different areas of industry/economy. No…

does it use GraphCuts?

isn't the name Chute a derogatory curse word? And of all things, the website is called "Get Chute"

This is a case of coherence vs coupling, which is lost by OO developers. Everything is so tightly coupled that more spaghetti code is written up to not break the coupling, making t…

I agree with you. It seems like Java programmers at enterprise ignore Cohesion vs Coupling tradeoffs. Every class and abstraction they write is so tightly coupled which causes issu…

What if the Journal asks for a transfer of copyright? Does that violate some kind of law/thing for all the previous (including the final) version of the manuscript stored on Author…

I just want templates for different journals/conferences for the same topic. All their formats are annoying, but at the end of the day, every PI/researchers wants to publish in som…

Landing page comment: "Write research papers, right inside your browser" As a researcher, I immediately ask "Why?" What is wrong with my Latek utils and fabulous MS Word that my re…

Google Glass has a processor. Processors give out heat. Google Glass will lead to sweaty eyebrows -- eww. How do you solve the heat issue when Google Glass is transmitting/querying…

I agree with you, the results (not theory) are similar to Horprasert's background subtraction paper. Both techniques have same limitations. It is pixel-by-pixel and does not take t…

I couldn't get myself to click on the article. It just sounds like a bad idea. Industry experience is so valuable even as an entrepreneur. You learn about the efficiencies and inef…

In CS/ECE, if there is no application for your research i.e. cannot be commercialized or patented, you will not have funding. There is very little room for theoretical-based resear…

does this person have publications in undergrad? If so, then they can still get into the top-schools because of track record of doing research. If not, then try and get into a prog…

ADNI initiative shares data and most researchers are part of it. NIH is HUGE on sharing.

"its always done this way" is the ultimate motivation of any startup. We wouldn't have any competing startups if everyone just accepted that, probably, not have any entrepreneurs o…

I disagree with you. If there was excess manpower, graduate students wouldn't be stressed out with overwhelming work. Obviously, there is a lot more work to go around and less bodi…

Why wouldn't anyone buy your product? If it is easy to use, and SPEEDS UP RESEARCH TIME, your researcher/PI who is spending thousands on computing clusters will buy your software f…
