I studied in Crerar many joyful times, though long after your tenure there, in the 2010s. It's a great, quiet library. One of my favorites on campus.

It's California. Non-competes are void. It is one of the few states where non-competes are not legally enforceable.

Besides the point, but FYI you are misusing the term parsimonious.

You're being overly dismissive. There's quite clearly a substantial amount of research here, and in a cursory reading I detected no explicitly bombastic claims, which are usually indicative of crankwork. Sure, it's not peer-r

I'd like to remark that there's a similar trend that seems to go on in high schools and with college admissions. By all accounts, I've heard that it's not too difficult to attain perfect high-school grades (save for some

I think you mean "that y is far larger than x"

Is that a joke?

That's amazing. I really hope that more research is done in (stem) cells. It shows outstanding promise, and it seems safe to assume that this is just the start for a technique of treatments that revolutionizes the way we view and treat

As with most applications, it could be a lot smaller. But storage is so cheap and abundant that size is no longer really a constraint. Consequently, engineering for size is no longer a priority.

This was quite immersive. I think a little more content would've gone a long way to produce a more interesting story.

Incredible Accuracy ? You mean retrospectively fitting a logistic model to something known to grow logistically ? I'm not impressed, especially not by retrospective modelling.

The metric system contains the SI units. It is extremely commonly used in the scientific setting, due to its capacity for precision and clarity.

Your package-sorting and medical-record facility examples strike me as pure gold. I wasn't sold at first, but you seem like a great team leader. As another person wrote, you seem to really understand the essence of effective leadership

Great stuff. Beautiful feeling to the site, though the 'Train' section could do with an explanation as to what you're meant to do on the exercises ('tactics'). I'm tempted to suggest integrating this with en.li

Well, so, what makes Nigel Richards the best Scrabble Player on Earth? The article does not even answer its own leading question, which is enormously disappointing (though it is otherwise interesting). There are a couple humorous quotations

Why should the author try to fulfill some sort of gender-quota? The purpose of the article is clearly to collate the top 10 single-founder startups, rather than the top 5 male and top 5 female single-founder startups, etc.

Honestly, I would just write my own HTML/CSS and buy hosting on a server somewhere. This is cheap, and gives you a great deal of control, while also honing your web development skills. (And doing it yourself feels good!)

I think this is a fascinating story. Doctor Zhivago is a hauntingly beautiful work --- one of my favorite books and films, certainly, and I am surprised by its importance as a political tool --- really, as a tool of propaganda! I found this

For what reason do you consider 'codec' an online porn word? I would think that most men would be acquainted with this word because of movie piracy.

The idea is that battery powered cars will become more prevalent and effectively cleaner as the electrical energy used to power them is drawn from more renewable sources, rather than from fossil fuels.

This doesn't detail "how" a teenage entrepreneur built a startup on BTC riches. It's not a very exciting story, either. Here's what happened: in early 2012, he put all his money into Bitcoin. Then he cashed out when

How in the world do you justify linking to a blog-post of precisely 135 words, 101 of which are quotation, the entirety of which was lifted from a recent CNN (opinion) article? This is insulting. Hacker News is not just another place for yo
