It really depends whether he plays a game that warns about it. The dashboard only warns about a Moderate NAT if you run a network test. Of the games I played, only Halo 3 warned about Moderate NAT. Halo 4 doesn't bother anymore. So I d

Are you trying to say that US citizens abroad are paying for the services of their embassy? That's crazy. Every expat citizen from any country is offered help from their home country's embassy, and they do it without citizen-based

There are very few people who actually work under Google Research, everyone else is a software engineer (including everyone who worked on my research paper with me [1]). The trick is to realize that there are many product teams for which wh

I think you're heavily discounting/missing "ability to work independently" which I think is a huge win for most softeng jobs. If they can code ( if ), you'll find PhD holders need very little hand-holding to get stu

Agreed. You get a PhD for you , not for science. I would hazard 99% of PhD dissertations get read cover to cover less than 5 times. And I'm including the committee and author on that number.

I have a PhD in CS from UC Santa Cruz, and I was hired by Google out of school. The key is to do internships: just like undergrads, you have to prove to companies that you can do the work, and internships are the best way of doing that. I d

FWIW, Peter Norvig was asked at an intern tech talk at Google "Do I need a PhD to work at Google?" and he replied "No, and most of the people here don't have one. What we are looking to hire is people who have the origin

I decided not to continue with academia after my PhD not because of the internal politics[1], but the external. I failed completely to find external funding, and with NSF only funding 11% of applications, that's typical. And when you g

Isn't that enough? Well, yes, it can be . During my PhD studies I met a couple people who could be considered "lifers" who were clearly very happy doing graduate-level research work. Maybe you are one of them. Their optima

Yes, Amazon will do that conversion for you. It works OK, but I gave up on doing it for science white papers. Graphics are lost and it only works if the PDF is formatted the right way, so it was enough of a pain that I stuck to printing stu

Never anything official, and I do it rarely, so it doesn't really change my access pattern. I only tether when I'm in a coffee shop and the wifi there is bad. I'm not the sort of user that streams Netflix via tethering or som

Rolling out today, is what I read on The Verge. However, that doesn't mean you'll get it today; rollouts are usually so slow that you can wait weeks.

Honestly, if rooting is important to you, you should be buying Nexus devices anyway, right? I realize that there are some consumers that are forced into certain handsets, and those people lose out. But many people buy devices like Galaxy S4

The "ok" prefix is the one that Glass uses. I wonder if there's some implied integration there. That the feature is hidden from the UI makes me think this was supposed to not be in use until Glass is out, until someone intern
