Apple or Pear? Sorry, but seriously, I've been trying to work on this, as well. I don't know your exact situation, but I've found a lot of this comes down to being able to have the confidence to tell your boss "No, I don

I suppose that's true, but I'm not sure it's fair to attribute the rise of a newcomer to the death of this specific cartel. WWII did a number on the global economy

You are giving them a bit too much credit...nobody's put 'Be.' on the front of Forbes, yet. This is just another small time, start up scam. Theranos was a virtuoso performance of fraud

oh lord yes...like a monstrous, you need to be fired one. You can't put phi on any electronic system which you do not have a signed business associate agreement with. I suppose there's a chance that FB signed a baa, in which case

If you want to take Algorithms and Compiler courses, Stanford, Georgia Tech and many others have great options online. I don't think it'll help at all - I've got a bachelors in computer engineering and computer science and ma

Enormously depends. Captain at a major airline will earn you a nice 6 figure salary. Copilot at a regional airline is pretty much at the poverty line. Unfortunately that's where you need to start, often.

As others have said - perform more tests. I've worked around molecular pathology testing for cancer (which comes up with a diagnosis based on data analysis after running DNA or RNA sequencing). If the molecular report differs from what

This is going to be very challenging to film...it's imagined as such a far future world. I'm sure it can be done well, but I feel like it will be a challenge and may ruin my imagined vision.

This sort of story is becoming increasingly common, but the good news is that there are a ton of tests in the works and more coming every day: https://www.mskcc.org/msk-impact Right now it's a complement to the traditi

That's not paranoid! That's a fantastic thing to do and one that I highly recommend for anyone. It's terribly easy to forget which environment you're working in when you get distracted for a moment and that's how mi

Scrum is a process with way more than just daily stand ups. Obviously a company can do whatever works for them, but formal 'scrum' involves time-delineated sprints, planning meetings, demos, retrospectives, the daily stand ups, po

He did indeed! He published an article in the last week that listed 4 outcomes for the election, each with ~25% confidence. 3 Had a Clinton victory and 1 did not. I recall him also making some pretty emphatic condemnations of Sam Wang'

This is literally the saddest article I have ever read. I really don't know what's worse - how many people believe what these folks say or that we've built the platform that gave them a voice. Did anyone become an engineer to
