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 allnighters, to get a subpar gpa, and have no time for volunteering ac

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 consider the niceties required to face customers and leading on

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, you can achieve startup, health, significant other/family.

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 for experimental services such as this. Why would anyone want

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 wonder you see "herd" startups in SF a lot of times. There

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 the code more incoherent overall.

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 issues when debugging or just trying to figure out how to add a

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 Authorea? Would the author have to take down their final-manuscrip

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 something that is peer-reviewed. In a university setting, payin

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 research lab gave me for free. Then, where are some template

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 images? Transistor sizing dissipates more and more heat.

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 the entire scene into account.

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 inefficiencies of industry and it can only help you run your ope

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 research where you play around with math (like counting angels on

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 program with known advisors/researchers that can be on your publ

"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 or have a better world for that matter. The fitness function

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 bodies to give it to. Most of the research man-hours is gone tr

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 for their graduate students. Hell, my PI keeps asking me if I

This is not Pedro Felzenszwalb's discriminative part-model algorithm. This is simple AdaBoost. The authors have labeled a bunch of datasets (1000s of them) and are able to detect whatever object. AdaBoost (Viola/Jones) is the most popular

Publications from reputable journals are easier to find than to find smart people firsthand who are experts in the field.

A lot of research time is spent on finding that "aha!" moment, where you everything you have thought of coalesces into a force that makes pursuing your educated guess worthwhile.

This person hasn't experienced the hopelessness and defeat that comes with a failed idea. Getting a summer associate position that brings about a 160k job is "winning" the protocol for law school success. There is no such protocol path for

To a computer scientist, programming is merely a tool to help bring their computer science ideas to life. Writing a bunch of APIs and calling them will only take you so far. After a certain point, theory will prevail because math (computer
