Wow, I wonder if this can also be applied to academic papers. Not for detecting plagiarism (there are already tools for that), but for 'improper' (?) citation
ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: Ask HN: Chip startups?
Not chip the microchip manufacturing but the chip in chip design (IC design) space. I'm currently a part of startup in this area.
It's so costly I don't know how other related startups can survive though.

Second order is good but I think if there's too much n-th thinking level it will become overthinking lol

There were some suggestions to change 'imaginary numbers' to 'lateral numbers' but it is hard to do when the name stuck. Naming thing is hard.

Just want to ask from a layperson, between Abel and Wolf prize, which one is more 'prestige' like Nobel Prize for mathematics kind of prestige?

I thought this is about policy on commenting codes.
Maybe he can also get helps from the readers to moderate the comment section by implementing upvote/downvote system like HN, Reddit or Twitter. Or let readers flag troll comments. Enough downvote or flag, comment gets deleted.

>"We are competing with startups, not General Electric. There is a whole raft of talent that we simply do not get access to.”
But startups compete with FAANMG. And worse is semiconductor industry, where there is less EE fresh grads than with software engineering fresh grads graduated every year.

I thought that chilli pepper is part of Sichuan culture back in the Three Kingdoms era but I'm surprised on how recent chilli pepper in their cuisine!

Yeah. They can casually campaign at the corner of a train station or on the truck with very lax security concern.

He's still a powerful political figure. He even might have chance to become a candidate or influencing the decision on who gonna be candidate from his party.

In a country where the gun crime is low and leaders get attacked, it's not that weird that people are puzzled of what just happen

Does Adobe Acrobat really that bad? We use Acrobat Pro because it easy to modify pdf file with it. Other software can't do that much. Is there other pdf 'editor' that you can recommend?
ahmadmijot | 3 years ago | on: Should You Quit Academia?
Depends on your motivation. I love doing research, I love doing basic research. Thus I can stay in academia world, given the opportunity. But I don't like doing administration work. This is what I dislike about academia.

I tried to switch to Zotero few years back but still stuck with Mendeley Desktop. Since they will stop support Mendeley Dekstop in September, I hope I can try Zotero once again.

I'm also write technical writing (including academic publications) and I do feel like I need to get monetary gains from all my works. But I also believe that copyright law is too restricted and too long (15 years after the death of original author/artist/writer/etc should be enough)
