Yes, of course there can be contamination, but it's not guaranteed. First, you are drilling through the ground water. Second, you broke through those layers to go do. Hopefully the tech and practices in the field prevent this. But we know it does happen because some people have had their water ruined. Plus, we know it has strong potential because of state legislatures being encouraged to make laws protecting the drillers (not the home owners).
Interesting. I didn't realize that was the case. Makes sense and thanks for the additional context.
I'm Canadian. I get searched all the time by both sides. Canadian side has been worse for me, so far.

I really like going to other countries, their customs tend to be reasonable. coming back home is always a nerve racking experience.

I haven't been asked for my phone yet, but have been asked for my camera.

I'm being drawn more and more to paying for online storage/sync solutions and clearing my phone and laptop before traveling to the USA or Canada. actually more worried about Canada.
Study reveals patterns in STEM grades of girls versus boys – UNSW Newsroom
This is so typical in technology now, large corporations patenting everything they can possibly think of, including things that they've blatantly copied. It absolutely doesn't surprise me that a technology as fundamentally simple and foundational as LIDAR is covered by a load of bullshit patents. As the article notes what this is really about is using your patents to litigate competitors either to slow their progress or force them into expensive fights that drain their resources. Frankly, patent reform is yet another case where the large players have built themselves a moat.

To be very honest, I find the methodology very similar to what drug trafficker would do to hide their drugs.

It's a shame that people now have to guard their privacy like drugs.

If you have that much money you don't have to pick your battles. You can pay people to fight all your battles, even the relatively unimportant ones.

That's one big way money distorts politics. A rich person's 20th priority will get more attention than a hundred poor person's 1st priority.
There appears to be no universally agreed upon definition of matter. By at least one definition, an atom is indeed the smallest unit.
My main issue is with Push email. With OSX Server, you could get an APNS certificate that enabled you to have mail instantly delivered to your iPhone, push for Mail.app with one click. Will there be a workaround for this? I know there's a dovecot version for freebsd that can use the push certificate, but the only way to obtain it was using OSX Server's mail server... Does anyone know if a regular, iOS app push certificate works with this?
Sure, let's co-work! Can you shoot us an email?
In the early 2000s they made a HUGE push for enterprise.

My company I worked at Part Time went all in. It was a disaster for 3 months. The IT department didn't make the decision but the Executive Board.

Just this summer, I now work at another company, and they went 100% Apple (Because students were issued iPads so why not switch everyone over of course). They ended up throwing away all their 1 to 3 year old Mac All in Ones, in all the computer labs, into the garbage (At Apple's Request Around 400 of them) and now students don't have access to a computer and only issued a tablet.

So adults have Mac Laptops and kids have iPads (K-12) seems so strange. I think that this is where Apple would love to put Enterprise with everyone without a special case just uses iPads.
A growing number of people in the company I work at have no degree whatsoever
It will go back up once all those newly-minted coders realize there's a ceiling on their careers :)

That's pretty much the nuclear option. Everyone, both the rest of the Union and the State of California, would all suffer if they did that.
Unflattering cartoons of the president?

Actually it does. The article intro starts with the fundamental question (why is there an apparent imbalance in the amount of matter/antimatter), then says that one experiment is this gravity one. It returns at the end to the point that the standard model doesn't predict a difference, but then again the standard model doesn't predict the mismatch either.

I was moving from engineering to product management and thought it would help my resume to get an MBA, but I was pleasantly surprised how useful in many other regards the process and learnings were.

I went to graduate school to get an MBA from a decently, regionally respected program after one year working full time. I went the part time MBA route. I dropped out because of $reasons after almost finishing.

What I learned from my MBA didn’t have any immediate rewards during the early parts of my career as a software developer, but it really started helping a lot for more senior architect roles - “architect” by title or responsibility - and helped me talk to CxOs and punch above my titles.

I never put anything about graduate school on my resume.

The first time I thought about going back and either getting an MBA or MS in Comp. Sci, I realized that getting either wouldn’t get me an appreciable bump in salary over just self study in technology and aggressively job hopping in my local market.

In two years when things settle down and my youngest is in college and I could realistically think about doing it, it still wouldn’t make much financial sense. I’ll have the skillset, the resume, and the certifications along with my business knowledge to make more as an overpriced “implementation consultant” than I could with an MBA. Especially since I am not willing to move to any of the financial centers and I would basically have to slowly work my way up.

Most development managers are making much less than consultants in my market. Heck when I was a Dev lead, I was making less than ordinary software developer contractors that I hired.
> The 1990s were a propitious time for this sort of hobby computing. There were really two computing bubbles in this era. The one people talk about was the dot-com boom, when the potential of websites hit the venture capital market, and startups like Amazon got going. The other was an almost ideologically opposite sort of economy, with the rise of Linux, Perl and Apache, a market in which your wealth, in the form of public standing, was proportional to how much you had given to the community, in the form of code. Jeff Bezos got to be a billionaire out of the 90s, but thanks to my software, I got to marry Emily Short, so you could say we both got to be the world’s richest man.

ONSITE / Boston, MA / radix.bio / VISA SPONSOR / SCALA ENGINEER / 90-150k / EQUITY

At Radix, we build a compiler and operating system for the computer architecture expressed by a biology lab. We do this to allow biologists to disseminate their work in a runnable form to other labs. We're currently hiring Scala engineers to help us with this. Our entire stack is in Scala, from our compiler to our graphical UI for biologists to our device drivers. We interface with sensors and lab equipment to provide abstractions that allow biologists to write their lab protocols as formal programs, constraining the acceptable environmental conditions in their protocol, which we check at compile time to provide error logs and insight into why protocols may not reproduce.

If you enjoy formal logic, theorem provers, user experience design, or driver development, we really like those too. Parts of how our product works are technically awesome, with some cutting edge research into theorem prover optimization and heuristic generation making our product possible.

We've just cleared our Seed round, with investors like MIT's The Engine, Y Combinator, and Firstminute capital. We're a rapidly growing team that could use a person like you. Even if you don't meet all of our requirements, we're happy to talk and see if we can work together.

"It's a work phone. There's an administrative account I don't have access to."

This is already true of laptops, and with some simple setup beforehand that wouldn't be a lie. I highly doubt any customs officer would press further than that.
I understand AV1 has attempted to avoid existing patents. Is there a consensus that they succeeded? Or might the HEVC patent pool come after them still with lawsuits?
Sorry for missing this thread. Stripe's mission is to "increase the GDP of the internet." It's the main headline on their About Us page. https://stripe.com/about

I take it to mean that by making setting up payments infrastructure easier for developers, more projects actually get started. Not to promote too much, but my brother's side project, NanaGram.co, would probably not exist without Stripe.

We actually used a pre-Stripe legacy payments gateway for our first startup (Rentabilities, now dead) and it was painful. I doubt he would have gone through that pain again to setup payments without Stripe. Yes, there are other providers that are good enough now like Braintree, etc, but I'd argue that Stripe forced the industry by raising the bar for developer UX.
What if patent applications required a fee that was added to a bounty fund to reward people that could demonstrate prior art during the examination period? Engineers like Swildens would then be more than interested bystanders, but have skin in the game and therefore incentive to do what he did just out of interest.

Bounty claims could also require an accompanying fee, to be refunded if the claim succeeds. The fees would discourage low quality patent applications and bounty claims.

From a career perspective, there's definitely a best-before date, after which an MBA does not buy you advancement. It seems that the optimal period for most people is after about 5-8 years of working experience.

Get your MBA too early, you come without practical perspectives.

Get it too late (once you reach senior management or about a decade of managerial experience), and you don't really need it anymore. Your real-life experiences have already exceeded what an MBA has to offer.

In most places, acquiring an MBA doesn't automatically lead to a pay increase or promotion. You still have to work for those. That said, an MBA may break some glass ceilings.
I guess people don't realize how science illiterate people can be. That's the issue I guess. If you don't understand science, you cannot trust it.

Agreed. Or even worse. Purposefully misreporting of research data. Example: recently disgraced "scientist" Brian Wansink.
Note the bit about agreeing to nominate two independent directors to replace himself:

>Musk's settlement with the SEC requires him to give up his position as chairman of Tesla's board for three years.

>Tesla will also be required to appoint two additional board members who are independent of Elon Musk

Prediction: Next crisis comes when, after maximum stalling, he nominates weak shills. Ball back to the SEC.
