Thanks. I missed that one. Not much cost info there but, I like the sound of:
"In computers, a Sandia Cooler would mean that we could finally cross the 4GHz/150W TDP thermal wall — or build computers that are thinner and quieter."
They didn't used the word 'model' but said, for example, in final paragraph:
“His code was clean, well-written, and submitted in a timely fashion,” ... “Quarter after quarter, his performance review noted him as the best developer in the building.”
Even before this suspension there was recent evidence that in non-advertorials The Atlantic was willing to call out Scientology. Googling "scientology site:theatlantic.com" yields, for example:
Maybe it is. But this closed system crap is one of the things I hate about LinkedIn. When I visit the link you offered I am greeted with:
"You and this LinkedIn user don’t know anyone in common. You can only view the profiles of users within your network. However, as you add connections, you may discover people you know in common."
Want to take a screen shot of what you were able to share?
Can't speak from inside knowledge, but it has been observed when this was asked in past that during slow period (middle of night, U.S. time; Sunday mornings) it takes surprisingly little activity to rise quickly to top (if only briefly).
How many ISPs can (or would) post a news item on their home page re: EFF...
“Sonic.net privacy policies recognized by the EFF
The Electronic Frontier Foundation assessed the policies of 18 leading Internet companies, and Sonic.net has come out with top marks. The EFF wrote in their report that...”
It seems to me, bearing in mind my numerous career changes, that honest self-assessment is in order so that you can identify: 1) other (complementary or divergent) strengths you have and 2) what intrinsic drives of yours could be harnessed in a next career.
At times (for me) it has even been helpful to get professional career-counseling to discover careers (or even avocations) whose shape and impact have changed in preceding decade since I last looked at it. There are useful psychological batteries for assessing the fit between fit/vocation that take such assessment far beyond navel-gazing/tea-leaf-reading.
Another approach would be to involve yourself with an organization (vocation or volunteer) with a project that appeals to your vision for a better world - and discover what roles beyond traditional mathematician you find you can make a contribution to. Hope that's some help.
> But companies aren't afraid to cheap out on programmers. If a project fails or is late, there is a perception that that's just how software goes, no decision they could have made could have changed the outcome.
I'm in no position to judge this, but I wonder: With increasing visibility for the cost of digital security/privacy to a corporation, isn't there hope for better valuation of programming by the "C-suite execs"?
If you were providing services to AWS - that would "be doing business in US". I don't see how renting a service (AWS) from Amazon is "doing business in US" any more than would be buying a book from Amazon.com N'est-ce pas?
But did you hear it from a tax attorney / certified accountant?
That being said (and: I've no experience in Sweden, and I'm neither atty nor acct) the idea that a US tax liability could be incurred by an international corp/business purchasing a service (e.g., AWS) from company in U.S. ...seems pretty outrageous.
> doesn't feel like something anybody wants to be chasing any more
A reasonable speculation. Of course the best data will take a while to become available.
The one data point (showing in headlines this morning) is that, judging that it took only 1 hour for iP5 shipping time to move back from 1 week to 2 weeks, this phone is selling several times as fast as any iPhone predecessor.
> Due to rule xyz, we would technically have to freeze...
This leaves me wondering, how clearly are PayPal's rules spelled out (I've just avoided PP like the plague, since I can) to help merchants avoid gotchas? Are freeze-worthy violations presented boldly ...or only buried in tiny TOS-like legal documents?
Actually, in the details of the story you find that you can "enjoy" the infection elsewhere...
"Only five states — New York, California, Texas, Oregon and Illinois — report the disease, and the data is inconsistent. Oftentimes, departments rely on each other to deal with paperwork, and the numbers are never recorded, Smith says. As a result, not much is known about tapeworm outbreaks in the U.S. — or the parasites themselves."
It also sounds as though the long dormancy of the symptoms make it extremely difficult to determine where it was contracted.
