Kinda late but maybe you'll read it - I went back to uni and did a masters in medical data, and I ended up doing that. The first job I took was a poorly paid government statistics job, and I went in as a junior after like 5 years progr

Seem to recall belgium is on a list of countries security cleared brits are not supposed to go to. Presumably the relationship between UK and Belgian inteligence is really bad for some reason. Unreliably, there is a post with a list here, b

I feel like something went a bit wierd with my wages compared so some people here. Not level - that's about geography and company and other factors. But in progression. I have never asked for or recieved a pay rise, although I have bee

Some people who don't fit in are labeled for sure, but other people are definitely ill. A middle class teenager expected to focus on math and prepare for a desk job is inappropriately diagnosed with something, when they might have been

Rare family diseases tend to be genetic diseases with a relatively simple genetic cause that can be found by comparing family members. This article is about treating rare diseases, but there is a simpler way - having identified the genes fo

NSFW - embedded images are references to other websites. My local chat was mostly shock images. Not great if your internet is not your own.

Depending on the product, this model could be problematic - should you provide ongoing security updates beyond the paid period? If no, then a big chunk of your installbase is going to be insecure. Some people might feel that's unethica

many Guardian opinion articles are designed to provoke the sort of people that read that guardian. To get them angry, or riled up, or uncomfortable. As a result, in the same way that some right wing newspaper editorials (e.g. katie hopkins

The internet says around 1000 dollars. I guess it only makes snese if you need to store a petabyte.

Greece makes headlines because the narrative there is that, 'if todays crisis goes wrong enough, Greece will pull the Euro and the EU down with it'. Romania just doesn't have that level of risk to everyone else assosiated wit

The choice of graph here is really bad. Basically the graph is trying to show two things at once - the difference between the categories and the difference between each category and normal. For multiple variables. By showing a lot of inform

It sounds like you have views that are controversial in your social environment. That's not authritarian - that's anti-authoritarian. If you had those views because everyone around you had them, and didn't like people disagre

It is also possible that they were looking for 'questions that indicate cluster membership'. RWA could be defined as "tendency to trust in authority, value obeying rules, and dislike people who break rules". It's a

Maybe this would be useful to commercial shipping companies who run thier net over satellite and similar. That would work nicely as a hosted service with an app. Like a more aggressive version of opera's bandwidth reduction. The milita

One aspect could be crime recording. A 99% conviction rate says two things for me: - High risk of false positives - Only straight forward cases are being tried, so presumably police are memory holing cases that they can't clean up qui

The counterargument to this is that enterprise sales is a job. If you've worked alongside these people you watch them do it. They go to events, identify useful people, create a relationship with or without introductions, use them to ac

This sounds proportionate if a state might go after the code. For example phone encryption might be a big prize for the Chinese or even American government. Microsoft actually hand over OS code to states regularly for certain contracts so

Yeah, consent is required by law and codes of practice for medical data most places.

This crackdown on data brokering bothers me. I'm writing from the medical data industry. Data isn't neccesarily about unwanted creepy stuff. In other industries, customer data can be used to recomend the right stuff, or make the k

Probably a little late but yes, this is exactly the problem my comment seeks to solve. 1. Get a beginners book or udemy course. Why? Because it will walk you through each of the little steps better than a random online article. Because b

Sensors are common, ranging from basic induction loops in the road to microphone arrays that can tell you what type of vehicle is on each page of an intersection from the tire noise. Sadly there are laws that require each light to be green

A lot of that technology is secret and needs to be developed in house, or with closely partnered companies. So a big part of that cost is the r&d needed to keep current. In any given generation, one fab will have the best tech, and an

It's hard to square that with the whole 10x engineer thing. It is true that hiring a security risk could be more damaging than rejecting a super talent, but all companies have systems in place that should reduce impact of incompetence

I guess wget has a useful spidering function that could probably page through the websites search results page, downloading all the preview and real images. You'd have to do the login bit as a different call and fetch the first search

You might want to async the downloading part. It is often faster to download 5 images at once than to download them one after another. In the choices section you use input("text") properly one place but not others. You use a coupl

I think the ways people find news on the net are also to blame. I knew someone who worked for a company that monitored newswires and other media all day watching for breaking stories. They then rewrote them in an SEO or viral friendly way,

Don't tell me, write it in your CV :-) You should be able to add android and java to your skills list. I suggested devops because if you have that training and know those tools there is a skills shortage so it is an opportunity to eas

You are in that awkward position of applying for entry level software jobs a couple of years after graduation. Was your most recent training about devops? Is there nothing from it that you can pull out in your skills list? Devops is hot ri
