"Long morning thought: 25+ yrs ago I chose as a PhD major Operations Research/Management Science and got a MS in Statistics as a byproduct of courses taken. Somehow it worked for me. But if I had to choose a PhD field today I would not even consider OR/MgmtSci/Stats/EE. If you want to work in Statistics don't get a PhD in Statistics. If you want to work in applied math (of which OR is a special case) don't get a PhD in Applied Math or OR. OR Statistics Applied Math have been taken over and made irrelevant and exist as academic vestigial outposts. OR in particular has become kind of a sad joke."

"I just received "Superagency" by Reid Hoffman and from the first pages it is obvious that it's going to be a forgettable book about The Current Thing. No depth whatsoever. Does anyone remember "The Road Ahead" or "Business @ the speed of thought" by Bill Gates Nope. Why Because Hoffman and Gates are simply intellectual tourists in their respective subjects (AI and The Internets). Which makes me think about two books that have stood the test of time. "Information Rules" by Varian and Shapiro and "Out of Control" by Kelly. Why are these books still so good Because the authors even if they were"
