==Introduction I intend to attempt a return to Caltech (I dropped out after two years). Instead of majoring in Electrical Engineering (EE), as I had planned, I would like to focus all of my classes towards topics that would help me, directly or indirectly, turn TIME into a powerful "data interaction platform". ==Brainstorm list - [[Why books are suboptimal for learning/50]] ==Reducing duplication of effort Many programming-related questions asked online have been asked before. What I want to do is attempt to match up questions that have the same answer. I want to be able take the _(n + 1)_th question and match it up to the same answer for the first _n_ questions. Many queries _in general_ are made over and over again; sometimes in identical fashion, sometimes with slight to significant variations. Deriving patterns from the queries that return the same or similar results is a crucial step towards accomplishing said reduction of effort duplication. ==Inefficiency I claim that vast quantities of valuable _knowledge worker_ time are wasted due to inefficient transfer of information. I believe that the requirements necessary to rectify this situation are absolutely minimal compared to the benefits. Furthermore, I think that testing this theory is extraordinarily easy: simply effect a significant increase in the quality of a knowledge worker's knowledge base and observe the effects. ==Links "UASH forms"[1] "Reinstatement info"[2] [1]http://www.registrar.caltech.edu/uash/index.htm#Forms [2]http://www.registrar.caltech.edu/uash/handbook.htm#reinstatement
