I don't think a publicist would help unless they could get Thiel to change his behavior. The fact is that Musk is getting stuff done while Thiel seems to mostly complain about other people not getting stuff done.
I looked around a bit and I found no evidence that Alferov did work in this particular area. In particular, Akasaki, Amano and Nakamura worked on Gallium Nitride research, which Alferov doesn't appear to be involved with. Alferov did do research that is foundational in solid state physics. Alferov also won a Nobel Prize in Physics, so I don't think there is any effort to suppress his contributions.
Can you point to a place where the Nobel site is incorrect? Note that the Prize is for "efficient blue light-emitting diodes", not the first. Also if you look at this document is specifies that the work was in efficient blue LEDs and mentions earlier work on blue LEDs.
According to this document from the Nobel committee, white LEDs emit more than 300 lm/W, while CFLs are at 70 lm/W. This suggests white LEDs are more than 4 times as efficient than CFLs.
Apparently the Nobel Prize in Physics also goes to inventions. See this comment: 'Nobel Prizes in physics often go to fundamental discoveries such as the Higgs Boson. But when the committee makes an award for an invention, "we really emphasize the usefulness of the invention," said Anne L'Huillier, an atomic physics professor at Lund University in Sweden, also speaking at the press conference. And the blue LED is nothing if not useful.' (From here.)
The Nobel Prize in Physics was previously awarded for the inventions of the transistor and integrated circuits.
The more precise term is Industrial Internet which is considered a subset of the Internet of Things. It is considered a subset because the same types of technologies are being used.
The Internet of Things doesn't require third-parties, but such third-parties are often helpful if they provide useful services.
Ibrahim Balic is the researcher who in the past claimed to have been responsible for uncovering a flaw that brought down Apple's Dev Center. As it turned out, he uncovered a lesser problem around the time a more significant flaw was exploited. It seems that he is a bit of an attention seeker, so I would take anything that comes from him with a grain of salt.
You don't need to learn languages to do linguistics. You need to learn about languages. It helps to know the languages involved, but if that was required comparative linguistics would get nowhere. Comparative linguistics works by building on the data gathered about the target languages, often by researchers who went to study them.
...many years ago. An extra $10,000 a year isn't enough to get me to program in that language again.
I wouldn't advise anyone to study COBOL unless they really needed the job. If you go that route you are going to be doing uninteresting (to me anyway) programming in a ghetto while other programmers of your generation are doing more interesting things. COBOL is a dead-end.
Yes, Apple is claiming that the A8 only draws 50% of the power of the A7, so the emphasis was probably on power reduction as opposed to performance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A...
I'm no archaeologist, but I doubt most archaeologists would claim this discovery ranks that highly. The person making the claim is an expert on the Franklin expedition, so he's bound to be a bit biased. It certainly sounds interesting, but we know a lot about Britain in the 1840s. I think the bigger archaeological discoveries involve civilizations we don't know much about.
I think it is unlikely that Klimt was influenced by Picasso. Picasso was 19 years younger than Klimt and by the time he became famous Klimt's had already established his style. The situation appears to be similar with Braque. I think the article's claim that "indeed experts are well acquainted with the idea that Klimt was influenced by both these artists" could be a mistake.
For some reason I don't find Einstein making a spelling mistake particularly extraordinary. Sounds like a particularly ordinary thing for an un-edited manuscript and a unusual name like "Hubble".
If making a spelling mistake is extraordinary, then/.ers are making extraordinary posts all the time.

Definitely not the standard definition of "occupied".
The grandparent is wrong about all three. They are probably facetiously referring to the American military bases located in these countries.
It is true that other people invented the first light bulb, but the arc lamp was not a light bulb.

They're friends, but while Musk is doing great things, Thiel mostly makes news complaining.

None of them were based out of Harvard.

There's no justice in this world.

Was that supervisor one of the people that got laid off?

Amusingly, there are actually more devices deployed with my Objective-C stack than Apple's.
Where do you obtain these #s? What are some of the apps running your stack?

2D has a special meaning when is comes to materials science. It means something like "as thin as it can possibly be and still be the material".

According to wiki about 3.8% of the U.S. population is gay, but the % of men that is gay is not mentioned.

In any case, the original poster seems to be ignoring the possibility of female pedophiles.
