 Share This- The Genius Index: One Scientists Crusade to Rewrite Reputation Rules
 May 23, 1:23pm  (1 review) science http://www.wired.com/culture/geekipedia/...- From the page: "In his 2005 article, Hirsch introduced the h-index (named after himself, of course). The key was focusing not on where you published but on how many times other researchers cited your work. In practice, you take all the papers you've published and rank them by how many times each has been cited. Say paper number one has been cited 10,000 times. Paper number two, 8,000 cites. Paper number 32 has 33 citations, but number 33 has received just 28. You've published 32 papers with more than 32 citationsâ€"your h-index is 32.
Or to put it more technically, the h-index is the number n of a researcher's papers that have been cited by other papers at least n times. High numbers = important science = important scientist."

- Shows how corrupted Indian politics is. When 80% of Indians earn less than $2 a day - how can 543 members of the government be worth $600 million in total?
And this is only the declared assets by 543 folks! A lot of their moolah is hidden! (Safe estimate - treble their declared assets...)

- From the page: "Remember Dennis Rodman? For years, Dennis was a first class basketball player putting up impressive rebounding numbers on the scorecard. But he didnâ€t receive much publicity and hardly any endorsement contracts. That all changed when he coloured his hair red. By being bold and different, he instantly stood out from the rest of his mates. And made a fortune for himself endorsing products.

- This is a fairly long piece explaining what is wrong with most social media websites and forums and how to prevent gaming of these websites. Good insightful stuff that makes you think. But a bit too long.

- Easy Trick to Achieve All Your Goals - Non Toxin
- Mar 5, 12:53pm (2 reviews) self-improvement http://www.nontoxin.com/easy-trick-to-ac...
- In 1953, a survey was conducted with the graduating class of Yale. The question in the survey?
"Do you write down your goals?"
The response showed that only 4% people wrote down their goals.
In 1973, 20 years after the initial survey, the researchers track down the surviving members of the class of '53 to see how successful they were. And what they found astounded them. 4% people who wrote down their goals were worth more than the other 96% put together!

- From the page: "The dumbest kid in the world
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, â€oeThis is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you.”
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, â€oeWhich do you want, son?”
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
â€oeWhat did I tell you?” said the barber. â€oeThat kid never learns!” Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store.
â€oeHey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?”
The boy licked his cone and replied, â€oeBecause the day I take the dollar, the game is over!”"
