Turning down $1 Billion does not say he is a great founder. He was just not so much into money, and Facebook was his thing, an idea in his head which HE wanted to give a future. He was just passionate about it.

never, lol.

I'm a physics student. Sometimes I'm thinking if I should completely change my path to math. I always sucked at it but it seems to be so huge, exciting and powerful.

I have absolutely no idea how people start consulting. How old are they? Did they work something else before? Did they major in anything? Are they all independent or work at consulting companies?

I'm actually on the other side: currently writing my bachelor's thesis in statistical physics, having a lot to do with probability stuff, statistics and data. I'd like to take a year off and work in a company to get some real life experience before I start my Master's degree, because I don't want to stay in academia after that. But I have no idea where I can find companies which could need my abilities and where I could work for 0.5-1 year. Any ideas? I live in Germany.

Probably not much. I started working with bigger data some months ago and now I notice that I need some real techniques and not just my "ok try this and this". I'm coding in C (where I "create" the data (numerical integration of stochastic differential equations)) and Python (plotting). I need methods/algorithms/techniques to analyse the data "on the fly" because I can't save it all (it's too much data).

>If you are a real data scientist or expert, skip this

I am a "real data scientist" and need some advanced data analysis technics and machine learning. Can someone recommend an introduction for me?

can anyone recommend a tutorial for diving into git?

true, that's why I didn't continue reading the article.

I like the idea, I think it's a right step into the future of coding. Beta Access @ $15 Pledge would be nice though, since ppl would certainly donate more money if they saw how cool the IDE is.

Nice, but if you're going to write more (and maybe longer) articles, you really have to improve your english skills.

The next 100 years people will ask "what is tau?" and one will say "it's 2pi".

Thanks, you helped me a lot.

I like mailto on websites, since I don't like contact forms so much. When I click on the mailto links, Thunderbirds open and I can start writing, very comfortable.
