> An engineer is defined as a practitioner of engineering, not a person with an engineering degree.

It goes further than that actually. The term 'engineer' is often legally-protected, and often a degree is a pre-requisite, but isn't the only one. This becomes important when e.g. you're building bridges.

I don't see how that answers the question. The question was by what means economists were especially rewarded for being in favor of the rich and the status quo. What about other academic departments who tend to be more left wing (e.g. sociology)? How are their academics rewarded differently to in economics?
This changes everything.

Most of Gödel, Escher, Bach (If you haven't heard of it, read it, take your time, and don't be put off if you don't get everything on the first (or tenth) read.):

"GEB takes the form of an interweaving of various narratives. The main chapters alternate with dialogues between imaginary characters, usually Achilles and the tortoise, first used by Zeno of Elea and later by Lewis Carroll in "What the Tortoise Said to Achilles". These origins are related in the first two dialogues, and later ones introduce new characters such as the Crab. These narratives frequently dip into self-reference and metafiction."

'Close, but No Cigar': SpaceX Launches Falcon 9 Rocket, Misses Landing
Both operating systems support multi threading, You are probably thinking about multitasking, which is also supported by both operating systems at the moment. The fact is, both operating systems are very similar nowadays, what you really have to compare is the ecosystem. iOS still has a better ecosystem with more high quality apps. Android has caught up in quantity, but not so much in terms of quality, yet. But that's not a feature of an operating system, just market forces and economics at play.

Personally, I gave Android a try yet again this summer by switching to a Moto X Dev edition. One key feature for me is the ability to highlight text on the screen and have the phone read it to me. After many hours of trying to set this up with the use of some 3rd party programs, I gave up. It worked, but not reliably, and only by using the clipboard, which wasn't a good solution for me. That's really something that should be a 1st party feature, like it is in iOS. Other than that, the OS is solid. I ended up switching back to iOS in the end. For me Android is still much to ugly, but that a personal preference. To each his own.

You should give both operating systems a try, before making up your mind. It sounds like you haven't. Also, don't forget that there is Windows Phone 8 and Sailfish OS, both of which, though very small in terms of ecosystem size, are very interesting and innovative operating system, especially when you compare them to the stale looks of iOS and Android. But that's only if you are actually interested in learning about Mobile OS design, as apposed to just starting yet another fanboy screaming match.

Technological progress is most certainly objective.

Yes, of course, I never said it wasn't.

I never said technological progress was problematic. I said that favoring quantifiable progress at the expense of qualitative progress is problematic.

Because you work in technology you are benefiting from it's progress. People who work in industries who are being disrupted by technology are not. This is what makes progress subjective. Assuming that the people who are NOT immediately benefitting from technological progress are somehow involved with things that we don't need to worry about is problematic.

Art and culture cannot be quantified. Communities that promote quantification and deride qualification are problematic. These things do not need to be at ends with each other.

We don't need to look at the existing qualified members as "evil gatekeepers" who deserve their fate in the soup lines. We should be figuring out how their experience and skills are useful and how to integrate them these new technological and economic changes. There is wisdom in age and experience. That our industry is known as "agist" should be a further indicator on how it views the world.

I haven't taken a VB.NET class in a long time, the only one I took was using the official Microsoft course material, which were not "advanced level".

While I like Visual Basic .NET a lot (and I wrote and maintain several programs in it), I think you should shift to C# if possible, because it's the language most .NET apps are written in, and is the one your students will be asked to know, and there are lots of books on the subject. Is it a requirement that it be taught in VB.NET?

I guess Azure is meant for bigger needs than mine where you can run 100-200€/mo by default and then scale up when needed, but since my little blog + test/dev server won't need to be scaled it just seems too expensive.

'mut' conveys the same thing you are trying to convey with 'var' in a much better way. The term "variable" in programming languages doesn't carry any connotations of mutability or immutability. All it traditionally means is "named value" or "named memory address".

It's actually entirely reasonable to have an "immutable variable" -- Rust uses this phrase in its error messages and it's perfectly sensible. For example, consider this snippet:

pub fn is_even(x: int) -> bool {
let y = (x / 2) * 2 - x;
if (y == 0) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}

Not very idiomatic, forgive me, but would you say that y "varies"? I would say yes, it varies for each invocation of is_even(). If y didn't vary, "if (y == 0)" would be a nonsense statement. y is certainly immutable -- you can't go assigning new values to it -- but it's definitely a variable.

The opposite of "variable" is "a constant," not immutable. 'mut' means "mutable" and "mutable vs. immutable" is the choice here. Rust got this right, I think.
I know someone who works in opera, and the conductor is always there in rehearsals, even when the only member of the 'orchestra' is a pianist playing a piano reduction.

And some singers. Who are drilled meticulously until they sing with the tempo, phrasing, and dynamics the conductor wants.

In opera, conductors also try to cue the singers, so they know where they are and they don't start phrases early or late.

In classical performances the tempo/time signature changes can be fearsome, and by the time you get to late 19th/early 20th C rep (Strauss, Wagner, etc) they're terrifyingly complex.

So yes, conductors are essential.
Synology NASes have had a number of security vulnerabilites and privacy breaches over the last several years.
>The main problem with salaries, career opportunities and so on is apparently that the number of people pursuing careers in science has risen to meet, then exceed, the increased funding. (Plus probably that an increasing share of the money is being funnelled off into university administration salaries, Elsevier and Bertelsmann and so on.)

The reason is much more fundamental: the Profzi Scheme, http://www.phdcomics.com/comics/archive.php?comicid=1144. As long as scientific labor is pyramidal, foisting most of the actual research work on "trainees" while professors mainly write grants, there will always be a structural necessity of far more trainee workers than there can ever be permanent positions. Thus, most trained scientists will always be employed outside their field or not at all, simply because a finite world cannot accommodate an indefinite exponential (recursively reproducing) increase in the number of scientists.

(That said, science funding as a percentage of GDP has dropped, and actually dropped in inflation-adjusted dollars with the Great Recession.)

Probably doesn't matter as a comment (there are so many great comments expanding way more), but when all classical composers composed music, they didn't assume something like "Tempo: 70bmp". They were referring to it as "Adagio" (same for other tempos, see here for reference http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempo#Basic_tempo_markings ).

That gives the conductor the freedom to play with the tempo (example: one conductor may decide that a specific part noted as "Allegro" is better sounded at 120bpm, an other one at 125bpm which may give a little more aggressive touch), giving the audience a much more pleasing experience.

The field for economists is much broader than you suggest:

"Today there is hardly a government, international agency, or large commercial bank that does not have its own staff of economists. Many of the world's economists devote their time to teaching economics in colleges and universities around the world, but most work in various research or advisory capacities, either for themselves (in economics consulting firms), in industry, or in government. Still others are employed in accounting, commerce, marketing, and business administration; although they are trained as economists, their occupational expertise falls within other fields. Indeed, this can be considered "the age of economists," and the demand for their services seems insatiable. Supply responds to that demand, and in the United States alone some 400 institutions of higher learning grant about 900 new Ph.D.'s in economics each year."

Yes, and this was not something that demanded attention because Java originally wanted to discourage the use of native -- and platform specific -- code. So JNI was originally thought of as a bridge you build once to your legacy C code, and then move on.
