The impression I got after talking to Palantir on a number of occasions and talking to different engineers is that a FDE is a cross between a contracted engineer needed for staff augmentation and a software integrator. These are both jobs that are typically bid really low (most system integrators in the DoD space pay pretty poor salaries compared to the vendors of the products that are being integrated) and are not all that different in function from a role like a classic SAP consultant.

This approach really doesn't scale very well but given that the customer base really, really does not like to just take off the shelf software and wants to pay boatloads of money to customize software to their specifications, the software product is just a means to reduce friction and to lower the cost of integration compared to, say, building your own huge data pipeline with open source products from the ground up like oh...

Content Marketing for Real Estate: 7 Tips for Getting Real ROI
But you can perceive this as: if from a business (money) perspective it becomes interesting to lock down these graphics cards to specific games, then the computational folks lose their processing power. They were not a market in the first place (relatively speaking).
gender is more relevant than sex

No it's not.

The underlying biological reality is that humans reproduce sexually. All gender roles are social elaborations and heuristics that evolve(d) to regulate and structure the biological reproduction of humans. All gender roles directly or indirectly refer to the sexual binary between males (= can father children) and females (= can give birth to children). E.g. the concept of Kathoey doesn't make sense except as an inversion of the biology-based distinction between males and females. After all, a substantial part of the Kathoey lifestyle is to look and act exactly like a biological female (including permanent genital modification), and have sex with a biological male. Clearly that's an extreme identification with the biological binary, except from an unusual angle. By imitating biological females and their conventional gender roles, by trying to look exactly like somebody who can give birth to children, the Kathoey reinforces the binary between male and female.

stereotype threat

It's deeply questionable that "stereotype threat" actually exists. The 'studies' that claim its existence are methodologically dubious.
As does "lb.", the abbreviation for pound.
Rapid, Low-Cost Detection of Zika Virus
I got offered a job in Switzerland last year. It was the weirdest experience ever.

What I suspect happened was I'd written "scrum certified" on my cv, and the job had "scrum manager" in the title, so the poor people were bound by the law of stupid to interview only people with this string in their cv.

They never asked me anything relevant. I code a bunch of languages, I can manage people, yada yada, they didn't care. I don't know why on earth they wanted to hire me after chatting briefly about my experience and doing some silly think-out-of-the-box exercise. The HR lady then proceeded to tell me about the great benefits of working for them (they pay your mortgage, not bad eh?). One of the strangest things about the interview was that the HR person was there at all, and leading it. She presented the manager, who politely said hello, and then sat there as she asked me every inane and cliche question you've ever heard.

So then it got to the documentation stage. They asked for this reference letter, which I had, but I warned them my previous employer was... Me! So obviously they shouldn't be surprised if it was a bit flattering and signed by some partner of mine. Didn't matter. Just give us the letter!

And then they also wanted my graduation certificate. Now for years I've not needed this document, I actually did not know what certificate from my school looked like. At Oxford you have to sign up for a weird Latin ceremony, which I didn't do because I'd started work the week after finishing uni. So this lady insisted on getting a signed cert from the university office. I reminded her is was over a decade ago, but no help. Luckily I was passing through anyway.

I also hinted quite strongly that it might not be the right kind of work for me, and that I might want some sort of term limited contract. Didn't seem to matter.

Where in the world (cities, areas) would you move to focus on a project for 3-6 months?

Here are some criteria:

-Inexpensive

-English speaking

-Availability of good food (high quality groceries and good restaurants / local food)

-Natural beauty

-Relatively low crime

-Pretty lax visa requirements (for US citizens). Would be nice to stay longer than 90 days.
You can, of course, never know whether any particular fire is due to climate change or not. But there is no question that climate change is dramatically increasing the number and intensity of wildfires in western North America because of decreased precipitation. That, combined with increased human settlement in what were once wilderness areas, virtually guarantees that this sort of thing is going to happen more and more often, hence "the new normal."

Yeah really, I was going to make the same comment. UofT is outstanding.
I've had pretty good luck buying rack servers and workstations for HPC from Thinkmate (http://www.thinkmate.com). Their systems come prebuilt but their markup is pretty reasonable, considering they give you a known-good configuration. You can pick and choose whatever combo of Xeon's + GPUs you want [read: can afford].
Considering I spend $5 a month on my digitalocean droplet that runs docker 1.11 and a bunch of containers (nothing consequential though), and Gondor wants $100 for their entry-level "dev" tier...
True, but it gives a sense of trend granularity which a line doesn't come close to, and is vital here to reject the Economists conclusion.
