I think you're missing the point, that perhaps we need to examine the culture we're creating. The benefit of discussing the matter is that we may be able to prevent future tragedies from occurring if we find thing we can do differently to relieve the pressure of being a founder.

Great example of how treating a kid like he can think creates a kid who thinks, big kudos to dad for that, too.

according to the actual report
http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/nl302015v
Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), have been shown to exhibit excellent electrical and optical properties.
While I have no specialization in the area, I gather that the scientist are suggesting it may be useful as a sort of screen technology, from the article
"For example, MoS2 could be applied to glass, producing displays built into a pair of eyeglasses or the window of a house or office."
Very exciting stuff.

Any idea as to which one is actually harder, the new material, or Lonsdaleite?
I see from this journal that Lonsdaleite has 58% higher indentation strength than diamond:

but I couldn't find figures for the new material.

EDIT:
In light of some controversy over the title of this article I have taken the liberty of removing what I see as being some of the more potentially misleading terms.
The word "create" is rather obviously a misnomer based on Newtons laws, but I'm trying to stay true to the text of the original article, while keeping the discussion on the scientific merit of the subject.
Thank you.

Thanks for posting that!

I can totally relate to the point, and know exactly how it feels. But I also feel like 'that one thing' is often a motivator and gives you something to focus on, it also helps bring the team together to focus on doing that "massive amount of work," by giving a clean and easily digestible direction for your efforts.

Besides brute force decryption, does anyone have some good examples of O(2^N) algorithms?
Also: http://www.kurzweilai.net/software-progress-beats-moores-law Algorithmic improvement account for more of the acceleration in computing power than physical factors, such as transistor density.

You could pretty easily title this "writing code right the first time" and some adjustments to tense, I don't think anyone would know the difference. Great article.

Have a nice day.
