Surely though, a month of training is enough to learn to test a socket to see if it is properly grounded, and thus is enough to install a 5.1 surround sound system.

But I had no idea this was an issue, really.

This is basically not feasible. At part time, you'd barely have time enough to read the literature to keep current, let alone get actual research done, apply for grants, write papers, give talks and presentations, go to conferences, an

I'm effectively a nobody engineer at a large tech firm and I make three and a half times what I used to make as a postdoc at highly respected universities.

AMD isn't in nearly the same breadth of markets as nvidia. Some examples: automotive, super computing (which they dominate due to CUDA), and game streaming services. Also, AMD's driver support on Linux platforms has historically b

If you're talking about what rights you should have, that's fine. Currently, however, there is no defined right in the US such that service providers like google, Facebook, etc can't make use of the data they acquire from y

It's not that bad in the midwest. Salaries in the 70-80K range are common enough.

These companies do on-the-job training. The problem is that a college degree in computer science or software engineering doesn't actually prepare you to work at these companies. It makes you effectively literate, so that you are feasib

You agree to give up your data in return for services. Yahoo mail, or gmail for that matter aren't actually free. You are trading your data for a service.

Need to be aware of the buffer size on the pipe. It can be one of those issues that never comes up until you just cross the threshold, then everything fails ungracefully.

The cost gets distributed. Exxon certainly won't just lose money. They'll raise prices.

Not to mention that this kind of dirt gets around. Employers don't want to be viewed as bad employers.

You're not supposed to be required to report previous salary. Just give names of previous employers and don't tell lies.

This isn't true either. As instance, whether or not you believe O-care was a good thing, the Democrats were ready to sacrifice their majority for it. On the reverse, the Republicans promised repeals for six years before cowardly runnin

I easily put 30 hours a week in getting my 3 yr old dressed, to daycare, entertained while my wife makes dinner, and on weekends. My wife puts in similar time.

It's important to note that gravitational waves themselves contain energy and angular momentum. Relativists often use the terms mass and energy interchangeably. When I worked in numerical relativity, we used units such that the speed o

It's not 100% accurate that "LIGO is only able to detect the most violent waves emitted" but that LIGO can only detect waves emitted in a certain frequency range (total mass) of binary mergers. For instance, LIGO pretty much

Sensitivity is about picking out a signal from the noise. The way you increase sensitivity is to decrease the noise. Effectively this means isolating the environment of the LIGO experiment and a great deal has been done on this. If you sear

Fair enough. I don't know what role Uber played in how they hired/acquired Levandowski. The lesson I take away is, don't be a liability to your employer - Though that was kind of my prior to begin with.

Arxiv submitters were sent pleas for funding at least twice during the 2000's. I don't have the emails because I no longer work at the schools that gave me those email accounts.

I know of research groups that intentionally cite other members of the same group to get citation numbers up. Sure, some of it is legit, but some is clearly not - particularly when actively ignoring relevant work from other groups.
