I find that there are two extremes--never enough pictures or too many pictures and not enough description of what I'm looking at. D'oh!

I think it is also worth nothing that Zuckerberg is (perhaps was?) quite talented at Latin and nearly went on to study Classics at Harvard.

What is MR?

My understanding is that their work is more like "coupling" than "entanglement" (as the media describes entanglement). From the abstract of their arXiv article, it sounds like what…

There are two points regarding the relevance of organic chemistry to future doctors that the article could expand on further. 1. Organic chemistry is often the first class that a p…

Really cool. Also possibly of interest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Pluto I had no idea Pluto (not a planet) had five moons.

Prof. Phil Sharp [1] received the Nobel Prize and founded Biogen, one of the earliest biotech companies. He remains on the faculty at MIT as an Institute Professor, the highest dis…

I think the title is an oversimplification. > To test this idea, they used slivers of wood from yellow pines. First, they coated these with carbon nanotubes, to improve their condu…

This webpage by the FDA [1] is also a simple and easy resource about generic drugs. The basic fact about generic drugs is that they have to contain the same active compound(s) and …

Talking to other people in the field is a great way to find influential work. You can only read so many papers, but by talking to many other people, you expand your accessible info…

I've heard a great deal of praise for Papers App (Windows, OS X, iOS) [1]. It'll cost you quite a bit though--$79. [1]: http://www.papersapp.com/papers/

One country that does it right is Canada--they try very hard to keep top talent in the country instead of going to their previous homes.

This doesn't look like a CS degree---this looks more like software engineering requirements. CS and SE focus on distinctly different things. I might suggest changing the page title…

Awesome project/website. The one thing I'm not terribly thrilled about is the infinite scroll--it's nice to have coherent page 1, page 2, etc so that you don't have to worry about …

Is typing comfortable with a standing desk? Every time I've used a computer at standing height, it's been a little uncomfortable, but they certainly weren't tailored to my height.

I believe this is the citation referenced. [1] It's unfortunately under a paywall. [1]: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201203581/ab...

There is nothing intrinsically wrong about the idea of a car. It is what powers the car (currently gasoline) that is the problem. But the self-driving technology is applicable to e…

A bad comment can waste a lot more time than the absence of a comment or a useless one (like x += n; //add n to x).

Another relevant article on procrastination: http://lesswrong.com/lw/9wr/my_algorithm_for_beating_procras... This is one of the original sources on structured procrastination: http…

As someone who traveled many times as an unaccompanied minor (without a cellphone) in the early 2000s under United Airlines, American Airlines, and Northwest Airlines, I'm shocked …

Heh, when I TeX-ified my resume, I used your code as a template. Just thought you might like the kudos :)

An empirical anecdote: when I was in high school, all of my lab reports for chemistry and physics were typeset in LaTeX while most of my friends either handwrote the mathematics or…

Nothing fancy. Either a shared folder in my home-directory for users on the same machine, or email. Most of my work is separate individuals showing off their data rather than worki…
