I was offered 80 right out of school. But I was also offered 50. It depends on what the company can afford to and if they are competitive. there are so many factors that play into salary determinations that I think people could lose sight of that by looking at this poll.

To evaluate what you are worth this is a great calculator: http://www.jobsearchintelligence.com/NACE/salary-calculator-...

Uses government stats and asks you for all your information and then gives you averages and percentiles based on that. A much more accurate way of comparing or delving into your own worth to the industry.
The FDA has actually cleared a couple of iPad apps for diagnostic viewing of radiological images; the ones I'm aware of are Nephosity and MobileMIM, and they can be used for x-ray, CT, PET, and MRI.

I believe these are being cleared as Class II devices under the section 510(k) premarket notification process.

Briefly, Class II devices include those that may be useful for diagnosis but aren't strictly necessary to sustain human life. The distinction has subtlety, so excuse the simplification.

The 510(k) process has you explain that your "device" (hardware or software) fits into some existing category of medical device and is equivalent to those existing devices. It's not a particularly stringent process and generally doesn't require clinical trials.

Note that in this case, "device" entails the iPad and app approved as a single item.

So for radiology, certain setups have been cleared, yes.

---

What's interesting is that on the pathology side, digital systems have not been cleared for primary diagnostic use, unlike in radiology. That means that a pathologist cannot diagnose a cancer based on a digital image of a biopsy alone.

Indeed, the FDA has ruled that digital pathology systems are Class III medical devices (necessary to sustain human life) and thus require a premarket approval(PMA) process. Unlike 510(k) approval, PMA requires a clinical trial phase that can take years (and millions of dollars).

While this seems arbitrary, there's actually decent logic to it: pathology often provides the last word in the diagnosis of many diseases, from malaria to cancers. The FDA is being very cautious, as compromised pathology work caused by unvalidated technology would directly impact patients.
California is quite different from most of America.
if you were good at something and had to be creative around a whiteboard i'm sure you would use similar shorthand representations. just look at the slang coders on this site use when describing programming ie, 'to hook' onto an API connection for example. then think about sketching code while talking. seriously, this is your best comment today?
You are probably referring to new grads.

With some golden handcuffs (say around 100 RSUs vesting each year), and the annual bonus of ~15%, many will top 200k.
Many of the statements he makes in this are implicit value judgments. For example, his closing statement:

> When I wait for my baggage in an airport, I always do one of these two. And I notice the people around me, feeling anxious and getting nothing done. What a waste.

Even with the benefit of the doubt that he didn't mean this as snarky( I do not know RMS personally, so I cannot judge too much), he imposes his lifestyle decisions (working all the time) as a sort of absolute truth.

>None of my shirts carry messages (such as words or symbols). That practice strikes me as lacking dignity, so I won't wear clothing with symbols, not even for causes I support. This is not a matter of ethical disapproval, so I don't mind selling hats and shirts with free software slogans on behalf of the FSF; but I choose not to wear them myself.

I get not wanting to have messages on your shirt. Loads of people are like that. But to simultaneously say that it lacks dignity but then act as if this isn't a value judgement is a bit contrarian.

I think this is more one of those things that are more annoying than somehow "fundamentally" wrong but the fact that he "doesn't mind" using other people's cell phones or rewards cards is reminiscent of a lot of annoying people I've known in my life.

Your personal preferences stop being immune from criticism when they end up imposing things on others.
But a cracker can't "notice" that your password was a hash of "something" without knowing exactly what that "something" was, because the output of the hash is pseudorandom and isn't distinguishable from a random string.

Sure, they could assume every random-looking cracked password is a hash and try to crack each one, and conceivably discover your master password that way, but depending on your master password's entropy, that can be as unlikely as you need it to be. And the whole point of something like this is that you can use all your memory remembering an extremely high-entropy master password, rather than a large number of medium-entropy single-use passwords.
There are three regular polygons you can use to tile a plane: triangles, squares, and hexagons. The regular hexagonal packing is the densest sphere packing in the plane, so any time you have objects constrained to a plane which for the sake of maximizing or minimizing some force want to be equidistant from each other you'll get something close to a hexagon.

Nice. Just signed up and created an application. Excited to see what may come out of this. I'm more interested in pairing with somebody who's better than me rather than working on a specific problem of my choice so hopefully someone can help!
>I first started actually speaking French during my first visit to France. I decided on arrival in the airport that I would speak only French for the whole 6 weeks. This was frustrating to colleagues whose English was much better than my French. But it enabled me to learn.

I admire the man for being willing to do that. Best way to learn a language is to actually use it. I'd say it'd require courage, but I don't know if courage is a quantity in RMS, he seems to just do what he wants.

I am not aware of how bad his French was at the time though. I guess majorly inconveniencing those around him is not as important to him (something that seems to be recurring in these sorts of discussions about RMS).

Yeah, it's not sensory deprivation, which seems reliably able to drive people crazy in hours to a day. It's just a really crappy form of prison (combined with some additional psychological trauma of being solitary). If you're there voluntarily, even if without the ability to easily leave, it's nowhere near as bad.

I imagine political prisoners do comparatively well in solitary, too, or the extremely religious, etc. I know from the other side, religiosity and belief in one's cause are the main ways to successfully resist torture or other psychological hardship.
military influence in turkish gov't doesn't preserve "democracy", rather the military kicks out any political party that doesn't fall in line with the country's hard-line secular ideals.

That's a complete misreading of what I wrote, I wasn't talking about a single thing you brought up. But if you think everything is that simple and black-and-white, and think that anyone who who disagrees with you just doesn't know the facts or is some sort of hollow, evil person, then have fun with that. It feels very empowering while it lasts.
Why see it as negativity?

SVG is a core web standard that is woefully underused considering how well it is supported. These complex 'you can do this with CSS' demos are always impressive, but they have little practical use; considering the underuse and lack of knowledge about SVG right now, it seems a little perverse to me that people keep making them.
Please spare us from this pointless meta-commentary - it's both boring and unnecessary.

It is possible that someone who hasn't founded a billion dollar company actually might have something interesting, insightful and useful to say. At least I hope so, otherwise you just condemned innovation to the gallows.

No police officer was killed. As far as I can tell the chase happened when three men fled police who had killed a fellow gang member.
I try reading this while assuming the benefit of the doubt. I don't think he's doing it on purpose (it feels like he isn't even aware that he's doing it). It makes the entire thing easier to read.
All your data (conversations, text messages etc) goes through the network, and those network operators can easily access it. It's just the same with ISPs though.

I don't know if that's what he meant by 'listening devices'.
In any way, a lot of these statements make a lot of sense for many citizens in different parts of the world (China etc), where there's a corrupt government and a suppressed freedom of speech. For an US citizen I suppose they may be exaggerated. But I share many of his views, and he obviously deserves a lot more respect than some people show towards him.

EDIT. And of course, if it's running non-free software the cell phone can easily be made to transmit microphone data without the user noticing.
I find it confusing as looking at these salaries in pre-tax because for people in California they can roughly figure out what is the actual income. For others it is a mystery.

While this is true, getting institutions to adopt a new PACS is a non-trivial process. I'm curious as to what improvements Clariso bills as big enough to warrant adoption/switching.
In the end capital ownership and property rights are just concepts we've collectively agreed are legitimate. Once living conditions become dystopian and wealth inequality skyrockets even more than it already has, I suspect society will legitimize "stealing" from the well.

Notably, the well doesn't care whether or not you steal water from it. The water was never 'owned' by it in the first place.
Maybe you should have read the article to the end before jumping to conclusions: "This was later confirmed when Google’s Head of Webspam: Matt Cutts showed up to weigh in on the thread and said directly that the reason this site saw such a large drop in traffic was because of Penguin and the questionable link building tactics that they had been advised to undertake."

Isn't this coming to the wrong conclusion? Students probably just didn't know the extent of the dendrites and their structure, the fact that the axon is usually longer and thinner etc so they drew what they see in Books/magazines. What does that have to do with creativity? If anything, the scientists' drawings are the unimaginative ones, because they are realistic

When we do an analysis on something like this we assume the method of encryption is fully known. Otherwise it's called 'security through obscurity'[1]. If this method got popular at all crackers would automatically start checking all hash-like passwords.

I'm also completely ignoring what would happen if that site were compromised. A little javascript snippet could just forward all passwords to the hacker's server. Even a browser extension could be compromised if it auto-updates. These are implementation details though that could be fixed/worked around.

This looks wonderful and is a lot of fun. It's not very useful in the real world due to the painstaking method for creating images, and something like SVG is far more appropriate for vector graphics - you can create it in a normal graphics program, and use just one vector outline for things like the twitter logo. You can use CSS to make bitmap images, vector graphics, and even vector titling if you want to spend enough time doing it, but I'd never use it on a real web page. Still, a fun experiment and I love the hover to see how they have constructed them.

Roll on SVG where we can draw using far fewer shapes and have even smaller graphics. Using vector graphics (SVG) for logos or other elements like that is supported in all major browsers now (even mobile) -

http://caniuse.com/svg

but it'll be a few years before enough people have moved onto IE9 or higher, and mobile browser improve enough so that we can forget about IE8 and start using SVG everywhere for graphics.

Yeah, he could've phrased it better or gone through the mechanics of closing it in a better way. I totally respect so many things about Mark and Ubuntu and what they've accomplished, but he can flub his delivery sometimes. I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. What I wrote was what I hope his motivations were and I may be giving him too much or too little credit.

My interpretation was that Mark didn't want to focus on MS so much and he wants to reorient Ubuntu's goals somewhat, and this was a slightly weaselly and not 100% honest attempt to do that. It's totally conjecture based on watching the guy over the years, though. I think his heart's in the right place and I hope I'm right.

In Germany it is common for young people to go from school to a apprenticeship (paid (but extremly little), Apprentices spend half the week at school the other half at the company), these can be anything from plumber, salesman to software developer. So they enter a company at the age of 17 and will often be employed full time when they finish, if not they still have a degree that will enable them to enter the job market on good terms.
This is kind of a win-win situation, youth that did not qualify for university or dont want to go can jump right into a job and learn a profession. They will receive a dimploma from the chamber of commerce and even earn a little bit of money. For the companies, the workers are relatively cheap while they are trained, and they will not only receive pratical training in the company, but also a scholarly curriculum worked out by the chamber of commerce.
In the last years we actually had the situation that companies cannot fill all their places for apprentices and some are actually looking to hire some from Spain.

That is why the pass phrase is required to have a lot of entropy. Even if you know the algorithm used, you're going to have to guess the pass phrase to verify that. And the pass phrase is harder to guess than most people's passwords are.

Aside from the implementation details that you've raised, I'm not finding as many flaws as I expected in it.
Do you have any context about the Turkish republic's history? I would suggest you read up a bit before condemning his views. The people view the Military as preserving the secular ideals of the country. The military is held in a very positive light, and is generally considered non-corrupt and honest. The governments on the other hand have been anything but. The current government has been curtailing military power, and at the same time severely limiting freedom of press. It also has been pushing an Islamic agenda, slowly and surely moving the country away from its secular roots. Turkish secularists are seeing this as a move away from democracy, rather than towards. People are being jailed for having any kind of anti-government views. For example, recently someone was jailed for re-tweeting a tweet which criticized the current administration. So yes, people do view the military as a savior for democracy.
I think you can draw those conclusions: if you move here you can expect to double your current salary.

Not covered by the poll is the fact that your living expenses will likely more than double, especially if you have to use a car to get to your job. Your vacation time will be cut in half. Health care expenses may rise. Bottom line is be prepared for some decline in your current standard of living.

At the same time, you have the possibility of lottery-style winnings if your employer becomes the next Facebook. Hmm, perhaps you might be better off buying a real lottery ticket.

What is wrong about that sentence? The scientific method has to do with falsifiable theories. Religion is not falsifiable. On scientific grounds alone, religion has no place.

You can believe there is a god, or that there isn't. Both beliefs have nothing to do with science - and neither with atheism.

The atheist takes this proposition to the last consequence: "I do not believe" (either on the existence, or on the non-existence). That is, the matter is of no particular interest.
It is, but it takes time for the helicopter to get off the ground and show up, and if you don't chase them in the meantime they will likely get away.

In New Zealand the police adopted a (highly-publicised) policy of not continuing to chase people who drive away at high speed due to the danger it poses to the public, when it is trivial to just go round to their house the next day and arrest them. The consequences of this have been as follows:

1) Now everybody runs when stopped by Police. OK, not everybody, but the rate has probably tripled.

2) After the police give up the chase, a member of the public is almost invariably killed at an intersection within 30s, since the offender is still driving at high speed but there are no longer any lights and sirens to warn the public.

3) Everyone - Police, media, politicians, the public - is genuinely confused as to why this keeps happening.

Basically, you can't win :(

Stallman on Harry Potter:

> I don't say you shouldn't read these books. That I leave to the author. I only urge you not to pay for them.

Quite the upstanding citizen.

His justification for this is even more bizarre, he accuses JK Rowling of something hypothetical:

> Suppose that the mistakenly sold Harry Potter books had been ebooks: then instead of ordering her fans not to read her books, Rowling could have ordered them erased.

and then demanding she apologizes for something she never did:

> I think we should forgive Rowling (or her publisher) when she (or it)
> Recognizes that this injunction was wrong.
> Promises not to do anything like it again.
