Look at the desk of the most high-performing researchers or developer at your business (if you have any). It doesn't matter for most people.

Agreed. It's about balancing the power dynamic, not the wages.

not OP, but can give you an industry opinion (I design laboratory automation work-cells like theirs for a living :). They're one of many core labs that offer similar "assay as a services". I like their vibe and attempt and a

Physics is doing just fine, thank you. Edit: but I agree most medical/biology/pharmacy papers are plagued with issues, mainly because the incentives are screwed up and there's more noise overall.

No, it's the self driving cars. Self driving cars need to learn the actual rules of the road in addition to the written ones before they're ready for mainstream adoption.

what if you adjust for size of country/state and population density before judging, does that help?

Just stop. Do other things. Plenty of people seem to find a way and live great and wonderful lives without facebook. You can too. I get what you're saying regarding the utility of facebook, but it's really not missed much once you

My reaction: wow 46,000 sold in q2 seems pretty good for a niche product.

"It's like the most universally useful thing since the invention of the wheel." I'll choose refrigeration, combustion engine, concrete, and probably hundreds of other things before computer vision.

Six types of bridges... Were you serious? There are definitely ways to apply formal engineering methods to software that greatly help its development. Computer programming is not a special snowflake. It's a field that (in many areas)

In the US, 30% adoption by 1998, 50% adoption by 2000. But much higher rates of adoption for the wealthier households and much lower for the poorer. So depends on your economic state then.

"use this specific cloud service" that most large companies and universities are adopting. And with a GUI that's much more familiar to non-programmers.

Yes there is. It costs money to train and retain good workers. Cut costs, increase revenue, decrease service. As long as it's not too terrible you still have a business. There are a lot of people running businesses poorly (from and eff

They'd be more interesting if they weren't so cookie-cutter. "Help us disrupt the X industry". "Passionate about [insert particular software thingy], so are we".

That... doesn't make a difference in my mind. Losing 1% of people's money is _very_ unacceptable and worth being laughed at for. Financial institutions are accurate to tiny tiny fractions of percentage points. Not "eh we got

You do have a strong competitor in this space. Adobe. Which is admittedly costly for the the pro version, but can't be ignored. Why use PDF otter over them?

Adobe pro has this built in, or am I missing something...?

Sounds like you've only worked for bad managers and companies, which admittedly isn't too hard to do in one's career. There are employers that give the best of both worlds.

Agreed. AI/ machine learning is really expensive to most companies. The ROI just isn't there for a lot of business domains. I don't think we'll ever reach a full AI controlled society for the sames reason the world will

At 50% tax bracket that's exactly the neighborhood scrappers want to be in. Only problem is if it's a gated community. Then you have to pay for what the rest of us (who actually rub shoulders with the world) get for free :)

PDF is beautiful. Long live PDF. I read a lot. I don't always want to read from a screen. Making PDF's available on the internet just saves me from having to search through a journal stack. PDF's have the advantange of the fo
