Viewing profile — corruption

Hopelessly optimistic. Spoken like someone who has never taken an experimental design course imho. 1) The search space is practically infinite dimensional. All methods suck when tr…

Theory != practical. It takes picking up the phone and face-to-face meetings in my experience.

Sold instructions on ebay about how to beat a little known tax law [it's now plugged]. A friend went to work for the tax man and in training they were told about me and how it's so…

Let's say you had an eclipse plugin that let you write in lisp, but it actually converted the code to java underneath. You could click a button to switch between views. Are you say…

The smartest people I know have the following in common: - They are the most knowledgeable person in the room in their topic of interest. That takes obsession. - They surround them…

Even though code is text, you would think someone would have tried to build a different view given the popularity of MVC. Inline expansion would be nice. So would code paths. So wo…

I never said anything to the contrary. I said that it's a false dichotomy; just because you don't spend time doing something doesn't mean you don't like it, just that you may not l…

Honestly, the world isn't black and white like that. And I can see why you argued about it; that would drive anyone mad being told what they do and don't like based on a histogram …

Yes, we are building to to be bought.

Once an itch is scratched it turns into a scab. And new itches appear. Seriously though, businesses change over time. Are people who are great at getting things going the right peo…

That's amazing, you should write up your project and submit it to diybio google group.

Years ago (pre swivel, post quantrix/tableau) I made a competitor as well. We quickly decided once we went out and talked to potential customers that it was a no go. 1) Very few cu…

You need enough knowledge to know when someone is making the right decision or not for your business. I run a successful software company, have hired and managed many programmers a…

The odds are stacked against you if you don't know the area you are in. This is because you can't control the competency of the people you hire or the work they do, so you have a r…

Just an aside, this hasn't been the way good science has been done for a long time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_inference I do however agree; many researchers I work with d…

Take the intersection of the three things you know most about and are passionate about. If you're not sure about this simply look at your most visited sites. Then use those are you…

Well, people claim that digg is entirely run by the top users from what I understand, and if only 6/10 stories that make it to the front page are predicted by the top users voting …

6 out of ten stories in the new links section can be predicted by whether the top users vote on them. Really, only 6 out of 10? This seems extremely low given the claims of gaming …

Someone should create a "everything" test, which pulls graduate level information from every topic maths, statistics, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, medicine, therap…

My goal when I first started was to exit and buy a fully equipped bio/physiology/elec/engineering lab and enough raw material to invent full time. I thought I'd need 10m+ to do thi…

Well, I think I am wrong on my initial gut reaction, kindly pointed out by wmf. This would be like Microsoft suing RedHat for creating a non-compatible C#-like language and virtual…

You are right - my initial gut reaction bested my brain :)

I think this type of behavior was what everyone feared would happen, but I never really believed they would stoop this low. This may mean that JCP is dead, harmony is doomed and it…

We'll agree to disagree then, both on the structure of the minds of people who make true breakthroughs and your views on epistemology :) I don't take anything personally at all, an…

Isn't there a contradiction here: "I don't feel the need for us to be equal. If feel that the idea that we're not is often a cop out..." If the evidence supports the conclusion, we…
