David Patterson Quotations

The perception among high school students and their parents is that the game is over, that all computing jobs are going overseas. It's an extraordinarily widely held misperception.

She's only 16 and younger people do better in rehabilitation because they are still growing, ... Samantha is a fighter, and I know she'll keep going.

She's not in a coma or a vegetative state; she is responsive, cooperative and alert, and she is doing quite well,

My father died of chronic pulmonary disease and congestive heart failure. I'd like to avoid those things.

Right now, it takes a large company employing hundreds of really smart people to support Internet services. Our goal with this center is to develop technology that eliminates the need for such a large organization, opening up innovation opportunities for small groups or even individual entrepreneurs. We can help do this by applying statistical machine learning - the same technology used successfully in the recent autonomous vehicle grand challenge - to the development of computer systems.

He trained some of the best human geneticists in the world. He was inspiring and was very enthusiastic about how what he was doing would have significance for human health.

Her severe brain injury has caused a lack of verbal communication along with visual and perceptual impairments, ... But she still seems determined to get back to where she was.

I think all the prices are crazy. They are just very expensive.

Our goal is to create technology that will enable individual inventors and entrepreneurs to provide new services of value similar to large Internet services people use every day. The companies benefit by witnessing ideas in pre-competitive technologies at the early stages of development, and they will help point out the real-world obstacles that must be overcome.

I.T. firms still must consider that there are threats involving information security and privacy.

I think he should have won the Nobel Prize. I don't know why he didn't. He was sort of a shy person who didn't promote himself outside the scientific community. He would rather work in the lab.

I think the teams struggled when we were in those situations too.

I'm impressed with one or two of the newcomers.

Most of the positions being outsourced are at the bottom of the totem pole, such as call-center jobs, but those jobs, in turn, lend themselves to automation, which means that the people doing them could themselves be replaced.

We are creating an open-source toolkit for Internet research.

We're trying to sustain the broad vision, high-risk and high-reward research model.

Even though we've stayed very successful it's still been a struggle for our kids. There are times they'd like to get away from it. They joke about not being able to drive down the road without seeing their mom's face on a billboard or seeing her on TV.

Everything down here is something people got in trouble with,

I've been smoking since I was 16 and I'm 43, so it's time to give it up.

The worst thing that happens is someone comes out of the bullpen (an area in which prisoners are held to await court proceedings). Someone comes down here. Someone leaves the door open. Someone gets a weapon and they go back upstairs, ... I wouldn't want to be the guy who didn't do something and then, when something happens, people would say, 'Why didn't you do anything?'

The support of her family and friends has really made a difference in her recovery, ... And I expect she will continue doing good.

They ranged from $600 to $1,000. American was the cheapest fare I found.

It?s about hard work, toughness, sticking it out, picking each other up.

It's not trivial. The hard part is building something that people can use and having it scale to millions of people.

It is very satisfying. It's really a good feeling to be able to take these people back home to where they belong.

It's gonna be a difficult task a difficult road to go down, but once we start getting the parents involved and they see the benefits of how it's affecting their kids in a positive way, then it's gonna be more beneficial to them.

This is consistent with the history of our field. This demonstrates the importance of the participation of government-funded academics.

Government funding for this type of research has fallen off, which means that companies have to step up in helping produce the next generation of technology leaders in information technology. There are a lot of bright young people that deserve support, but can't find it elsewhere.

This has been one of the most enjoyable seasons to coach and it's enjoyable when they do what you ask them.
