&gt; I wish more companies supported people like Stripe does for Aphyr. Research is so valuable, but there&#x27;s so little incentive to be in academia.<p>If you&#x27;re talking about incentives, don&#x27;t forget that Kyle&#x27;s research is some of the most commercially useful research out there at the moment, and Kyle is also skilled at implementing his ideas (a rare combination among researchers). I&#x27;m actually quite pleasantly surprised that he&#x27;s putting so much effort into these blog posts rather than writing a string of journal papers.
