Here is Maxwell's original (short) paper about Curl and quaternions in his own words.

Great works! We are making a VR logic game combining Alice in Wonderland and The Game of Logic. Both were written by Lewis Carroll. Our preview poster: https://sciencevr.com/img/carrollsriddles_s.png


It'd be informative if there was some kind of simulation for the origin of life. Think about LHC for observing protein evolution to cell.


We have Tierra and an understanding of the RNA world.


As an O1 status holder, this does make sense, especially for PhD founders (PhDs are supposed to be the top of their own field). O1 approval is fast (premium processing is about two weeks). In my experience, document preparation is depending on two major factors: 1. applicant's records such as media coverage, publications/citations, reference letters, and awards. I fortunately accumulated some evidences for each of these when doing my PhD. I only have less than half of reference letters compared to my friends who got their EB1, so I think media and awards could be equally important. 2. experienced attorney who can put together a 2-inch-thick document in a short time (of course, it depends on the applicant to gather the materials).


Make me think about one of the classic (but imaginary) debate in StarTrek: Measure of a Man [1]

We're in a culture of productivity. Here, a person in "good health" is like describing him a proper-functioning working machine.


Could you elaborate on why not QS?


I'd love to have a really long debate with QS leaders because I'm uncertain of my views just yet. But here's a few thoughts:

1) Medical apps only track vital signs. Tells you nothing about chronic/progressing diseases yet

2) We don't need to obsess about stats to improve our lives. We don't need these kind of distractions.

3) Measurement is still highly manual for many cases. Won't hit the mainstream until people don't notice it.

4) What problems does it solve exactly? Withings is useful though, but only as a luxury/fun item.

It's too early. That's my only sure opinion. Far, far too early. But as this thread proves, I'm quite poor at predicting the future ;)


http://curetogether.com/blog/2011/05/03/23-surprisingly-effe... I'm not using the curetogether survey to argue against the results from a peer-reviewed scientific study. But, if you look at the top-right corner, I think the survey "kinda" reveals "self-motivation" played a big part in fighting against depression.


A list (with less than 10 elements a time) to store easy things. I think only few people's brains can function like a graph.


i got in, too. for the very first moment, i thought it was my YC application. oh well..
