Re:Who's downloading pirated papers? Everyone on Friday April 29, 2016 @06:08PM (#11599080)
I wrote about horrors of scientific publishing not just from the viewership side, but also from publishing side a few years ago. tl;dr - Publishers have just too much control on publishing process and distribution process when they bring almost nothing to the table in the digital world we are living today. The very fact that as a scientist you can only submit a paper to one journal at a time and wait for months and sometimes a year to get a response is insane and completely unacceptable. Imagine if you have to do it when you are applying for a job.

I wrote an article about spam filtering sometime ago. Context was "Spam Filtering should not have any False Positives, ever!".

I love what they are trying to do. The entire scientific publishing industry is messed up and can use any help it can get. I wrote a blog about how terrible the scientific publishing system is sometime back.

Apple rejected our iPhone/iPad app for the exact same reason. We had a link to our website in the help section.

Buying RIM made more sense in my mind given RIM's penetration in enterprise market.
Re:Apple Moves to Tighten Control of App Store on Tuesday February 01, 2011 @01:53AM (#2164746)
I would say it becomes difficult to know not impossible. And as soon as they realize it they can remove the app from the appstore.

this seems a perfect stepping stone... an awesome move on Google's part.

Re:What would you do if you were CEO of Google? on Thursday November 18, 2010 @06:11PM (#1919704)
I would put a focus group around improving add-ons for gmail, one at a time. Though I use multiple project management tools, I still use email the most. Having a direct project/todo management tool in gmail would make the life so much easier and no one will have to go and get different accounts for different clients. They can just add a project within gmail. But it has to be at least at par with the current best. This will completely disrupt the project management tool provider industry.

The interesting thing here is that the abstract which is the text he has is free for all. It is just the abstract of a nature journal article, nothing more, nothing less, which is available to everyone, anyways.
Re:Ask HN: Review My (Twitter) App: Follow Ham on Saturday January 30, 2010 @06:11PM (#1089474)
I really like the idea. I think if you provide some interesting statistics as example can make it viral. For example: how many spammy followers aplusk, techcrunch, mashable etc. have. How many of them are common to all etc., etc. This might get you a follow up article on techcrunch or the likes too. :)

The problem is not making them but making them in enough quantities to be actually used for applications. A lot of the current research efforts are in pursuit of depositing them on a surface in our group.

What the article says is TiO (a molecule aka superatom) mimics Ni (an atom). The group is trying to add another layer of molecules (superatoms) over the 2D periodic table.

Disclosure: I was a graduate student of Dr. Castleman.
