Just for reference to those who aren't aware of who the post above is from

I.E. He knows his shit and has the references to back it up. His resume is pretty much a list of industry leading companies for the last 25 years.

I dug up what looks to be the main patent for the technology from 2008:

The microwave energy is focused onto a device to be charged by a power transmitter having one or more adaptively-phased microwave array emitters. Rectennas within the device to be charged receive and rectify the microwave energy and use it for battery charging and/or for primary power. A communications channel is opened between the wireless power source and the device to be charged. The device to be charged reports to the power source via the channel a received beam signal strength at the rectennas. This information is used by the system to adjust the transmitting phases of the microwave array emitters until a maximum microwave energy is reported by the device to be charged. Backscatter is minimized by physically configuring the microwave array emitters in a substantially non-uniform, non-coplanar manner.

I don't know enough about antennas and E&M to evaluate that. Any help here? According to the articles it gets ~10% efficiency at 10 feet and receives (?) 1 watt at 30 feet.

On to the possible crank warning signs:
* According to his LinkedIn profile, he's spent his whole career being a CEO and/or (later) doing software testing at Microsoft.
* He's identified as a physicist, but all he has to show for it is a bachelor's in physics from the University of Manchester (where he also "studied ... computational linguistics"). No graduate degree or research career.
* Twenty years after he gets his degree, having done nothing but software, he's suddenly producing miraculous hardware based on cutting-edge physics?
* Charger is hidden behind a curtain during a demo.
* Charger is six feet tall, but they're going to consumerize it to the size of a desktop PC in two years, when it will cost ~$100.
* Replacing all their off-the-shelf hardware with custom-built optimized hardware? No problem!
* Current fridge-sized charger has 200 transmitters, but when consumerized will have "20,000 transmitters in an 18-inch cube".
* The only public demo makes an iPhone declare itself to be charging. No electrical test equipment or data shown. No real evidence that it does anything.
* Claims the power goes through walls just like Wi-Fi, even though Wi-Fi signal strength can drop by orders of magnitude when it goes through walls.
* Charger only gets 10% efficiency from 10 feet away in open air, but this is never mentioned as an obstacle. Come to think of it, no technical obstacles are mentioned at all.
* This:

“In wave theory and electromagnetic systems, you don’t get linearities everywhere,” he added, describing the science behind Cota. “There are situations where double could mean for more, like double could mean square, or 3 plus 3 apples could result in a net total of 9 apples, so to speak. When you move from the linear version to the power version, things happen that were quite surprising.”

I don't know, maybe I'm being too hard on the guy. Maybe he's been doing physics and electronics as hobbies all this time, actually did come up with a workable idea, and used his management experience to drive the development of a real product. Maybe they really will have a commercialized version ready in a couple months and I'll have to eat crow. I just can't help but feel skeptical of people who announce their world-changing new product before it actually is a product.

Plenty of short-term employment, and her last job of more than a year was outside of the IT field. Most of the recent experience is in project management. If I was looking for a VMWare engineer, this is not a resume that would knock my socks off. Granted, I'm much more impressed by hands-on experience than I am by certification (someone who is self-taught that can demonstrate expertise is optimal - shows passion for the field). But even so (and I've read about 75 resumes in the past few weeks) this is probably not somebody I would follow-up with unless the pickings were really bad. Plus, somebody that would launch a class-action lawsuit over being turned down for a job is not somebody I would want anywhere near my company.

I consider facebook and twitter to be personal-social, not business. Linkedin is for business. It is where recruiters in many industries are looking for candidates. They troll profiles and the appropriate groups. They also post jobs in the groups. My linkedin profile is unusually thorough, with dozens of project entries, but as a result is producing very much on-target contacts from recruiters. http://www.linkedin.com/in/dakra

Somebody from Nigeria asked me to mentor him towards certification in something. I was concerned that maybe this would turn into a scam or my electronic interactions might end up with an inbound malware payload. By googling him I found his interactions and comments on other people's blogs and emedia columns going back several years. The name, id match, and content gave me the confidence that he was both bona fide and an experienced practitioner.

I am sure there are blogs, columns, help sites, and discussion groups in your field. Participate. You'll get ideas and contacts. Of course, if your industry doesn't publish because it is covert, for good or for bad, that is another story. ;-)

You need to be on LinkedIn with connections and endorsements and Indeed for your resume. LinkedIn especially has become a MUST for connecting to prospective employers and showing off your previous work and skill sets. I don't give out my Facebook or Twitter to employers and I make them hard to connect with my business self simply because of my off beat personal interests and art. (see sig line) - HEX

Apparently, it's sexist when hired female sales staff ("booth babes") wear T-shirts, makeup, and big hair. But apparently it is OK to use your feminine wiles if you declare yourself a feminist and a female technologist (and apparently, you don't actually need to know much about technology to do so). Can someone who is well versed in the intricacies of sexism and political correctness please explain who is allowed to wear revealing clothes under what circumstances, and who is not?

Anyone is allowed to if they want to. It's a problem when your boss tells you to and makes it a job requirement.

Starbucks, Microsoft are mighty in social-media marketing

And let’s not forget: Social media are free to use. That saves Microsoft some money in getting out its targeted marketing messages. Though the social-engagement report found a correlation between social marketing and a company’s financial performance, it was not definitively a causal relationship.

Communication –Blogs, discussions groups, and Twitter were used to provide continuing updates to the company’s followers during the development process for Windows 7. By providing frequent updates, Microsoft was able to build hype for Windows 7 among technology innovators. By increasing excitement of the innovators segment, Microsoft was able to encourage this segment act as brand ambassadors, willing to use their own social networks to pitch Windows 7 to early adopters.

There's a theme in his reviews of either saying that the book is a must-read for _____, or suggesting that the only people who won't get a lot out of the book are people who don't understand how much they need it: "For the reader who may be indifferent to their need for change, the book may not be of full value to then." And "The only negative thing about the book is the over the top title, which I think detracts from the important message that is pervasive in it."

You have no sympathy for a large company trying to bully a woman out of 50,000 units of money -- over a claim about them not paying 150 units of money. In other words - if you said that I withheld a dollar from you, it would then be fair to claim that I caused $333 of damage to you? Really?

I don't see anything relevant there. Where are your operating system ideas besides just parroting whatever your unix gods have told you?

Unix-based systems were always ahead of Windows in SMP support.

If by "ahead" you mean - not really, no, never. First of all, UNIX has nothing to do with SMP. It never has, go read its history. Its design is based on single processor system. Different UNIX vendors added their own hacks to enable UNIX to support SMP. Besides.. Linux did not even have SMP support in the beginning. And when it was added, it sucked. Don't even mention UNIX comparison with NT when it comes to SMP kernel design. People who understand history and are not rabid Linux zealots will just laugh.

What happened because interprocess communications in Windows is unusable, so they never learned anything else.

What the fuck are you talking about? Everything works as expected. Have you ever written a single line of code on windows? You realize that I'm talking about NT and not Windows 3.1? I acknowledge that most people here are of lower than average IQ just repeating anti-ms memes that some other ignorant person said - are you one of them too? Oh no !

If not Windows promoting this overuse of difficult, hard to get right, techniques for trivial purposes, software for all operating systems would be more reliable now, as proper process separation is more efficient on modern hardware.

Any kind of process based concurrency solution will be orders of magnitude slower than allowing a CPU to keep the same process execution context. Also, its not hard to get right. It seems that way because Linux has had shitty tools when it comes to C/C++ multithreaded development. Most idiots on Linux still don't realize that fork is a horrible API. (and then they don't understand the reason why zombie processes can exist on unix, but not NT)

All "modern access control" ideas are stupid because they were made with fundamentally wrong assumptions. Instead of providing clear separation of access and well-defined interface

What clear separation? There is **NO** separation. With user/root permission model you get all or nothing. You cannot take away any permissions once given. You cannot as a user, launch a simple executable and limit its process rights without some added hacks like apparmor/selinux policies. Such a thing should be part of the kernel design itself. But ofcource the reason is that the UNIX permission design basically sucks, and people have to create hacks to work around it.

Sane people come up with a design/interface/api ONCE and stick with it (OSX, NT both have a proper kernel interface. Note that I don't care about binary interface.) Apparently such a thing is not to be found in the entire linux kernel. The only thing remotely close is kernel modules, but AFAIK even that interface is not stable.

The only clear seperation exists in the head of linux developers. Because there is a seperation of good ideas and implementations :) In the real world, there is no seperation, and nobody can observe this seperation because it doesn't exist for code outside of kernel.

(Unix) they create multiple interfaces that no one can keep track of, and try to make them secure by creating complex set of permissions in hope of micromanaging users --

hahahahahahaaha... you mean like apparmor policies?? hahahahahaahahah

Started as root. Not runs as root. What also means very little by itself,

The point here is unix design has forced people to think about "all or

I know right. Open sores makes software secure. I always trust open sores peoples.. especially ones with neck-beards to ensure security...

So you ran out of arguments. Congratulations!

Yawn... point me to your design that 600 hundred million people are using successfully.

Opium had more users at some point. Did less damage, too.

You have never done anything in your entire life. Your contributions technically have been zero. You know nothing about OS design.. have never designed anything.. or even written a research paper... or even made a prototype. Nothing.. zero.. nil.

lol

Who cares? Unix security model is a joke.. continues to be a joke.. and requires additional shit like se linux to even make it bearable. Without it everyone would just point and laugh at it. Unix "design" has continued to struggle with every single technology change. Multiprocessor..

Unix-based systems were always ahead of Windows in SMP support. For anything other than SMP, there is no comparison at all because Microsoft does not know what the Hell it is.

Multithreading..

Unix had concurrency and clean interfaces between concurrently running code before multithreading was invented. Multithreading is a speed hack (hay guyz, let's combine our processes' address spaces!) that is horribly overused because of its popularity among Windows programmers. What happened because interprocess communications in Windows is unusable, so they never learned anything else. If not Windows promoting this overuse of difficult, hard to get right, techniques for trivial purposes, software for all operating systems would be more reliable now, as proper process separation is more efficient on modern hardware.

any form of modern access control.

All "modern access control" ideas are stupid because they were made with fundamentally wrong assumptions. Instead of providing clear separation of access and well-defined interface (Unix) they create multiple interfaces that no one can keep track of, and try to make them secure by creating complex set of permissions in hope of micromanaging users -- and then their bright designers learn that user IDs are not meant to represent human users in the first place (ACLs). This is also why no one -- literally no one! -- uses posix acl.
Security is not achieved by adding complex mechanisms and restrictions, it's achieved by implementing simple and reliable access control consistently, and not stuffing security-critical code with bugs.

O(n) schedulers..

Compared to what, Windows, with its scheduler optimized for snappy redraws of modal dialog boxes?

LOL.. every shit design that anyone has implemented has already been applied to Linux.

Except you know nothing about design, and Windows developers know less.

For fucks sake apache used to require you to run as root in the early days.

Started as root. Not runs as root. What also means very little by itself, however you know nothing except results of google searches for "linux bug".

LOL. What a piece of shit it was.

That comes from Windows apologist, right?

After numerous hacks... you can finally run it without root access.

You still can't run it without root access if you want it to listen on port 80. What is done by design, and as I have mentioned before, you know nothing about it.

But even then.. you have to do some shit like create extra users with special permissions or chroot it or some other horrible hack.

You can always run it as your own user, but this is usually not what people want.

Because Linux has zero concept of finegrained process and u

While I sympathize with those forced to leave, I am one of those "experienced" software engineers who feel they have been "pushed out" of the I.T. job market due to the influx of foreign talent. We need to take care of our own first, but the American corporate culture persists in not following through with that for a variety of reasons (I am sure greed is among them). Before anyone jumps on me and accuses of me of being solely responsible for my situation by not keeping up technologically-speaking, have a gander at my LinkedIn page: http://www.linkedin.com/in/caryscofield . I'd be interested to know if anyone really thinks my perception of the overall situation (not just my own) is misguided and wrong, and, if so, why.

What she really thinks she's doing: "Using job and industry news to increase user stickiness, SEO performance and conversion into jobs database". I wonder how that's working out?

Not going to touch "increase user stickiness" with a ten foot pole.

What's depressing is that she's been at this shit for 10 years, and her top accomplishments are things like, "simultaneously managed two magazine sections and a web publication."

The problem with all these stories on how to write your resume is that they're written by people who are fundamentally useless and are stuck writing puff pieces and managing someone's twitter account.

Is this the same Matthew Garrett? and this one?

I'm pretty confident that this isn't out of pocket for him ... or he's REALLY dedicated to the Linux kernel and in that case, he needs to get a girlfriend.

Location is a factor but in my world (web & JavaScript development in London, England) there is such a shortage of talent for the demand that many companies will hire just about anyone who demonstrates a basic grasp and enthusiasm.

Some on this thread have obviously had worse experience of ageism but I'd actually tend to err on the side of life experience when hiring a developer. Or at least I'd like a good mix of youthful exuberance and wily know how on my team. I've frequently worked with guys in your age bracket and generally find them much easier to communicate and compromise with (there are always some compromises when a team builds software).

Pick a language. Personally I'd chose a 'web' language, JavaScript, c#, ruby, python, hey whatever... and I'll maybe attract some ire here but that's where the money is and I'm confident it still will be in 4 years time.

Get dabbling/learning and start pushing some small open source projects up onto sites such as http:www.github.com coupled with a http://www.linkedin.com/ profile and you may well find that job comes knocking before the 4 years are up.

Good luck & enjoy.

Also, while I'm about it: turns out bosses believe people over 40 are already over-the-hill.

Wrong profile linked. Correct profile. Stupid misclick. Ugh. In other news, his background is not a software developer, but a network admin with some cisco experience. Like many in that area of IT, there is some exposure to security. I wouldn't call him an expert in MIM attacks, but he's not a layperson either.

What are this guy's credentials apart from being a guy with a blog?

He's a software developer, mostly focusing on database integration. He has no professional security experience beyond what you'd get in that role. source

what's with this jumping on the Nokia hate bandwagon?

You can't opt out of it; The platform is locked. Also, it's a cell phone, so there's a strong link between all internet traffic and a realworld identity. This isn't like Opera or Amazon, for which there are anonymizing options available to the enterprising individuals who wish to use said services (or don't, it's their choice).

I would hope that Opera/Amazon/Nokia are atleast as credible as your ISP though it's an additional point of failure.

these services are a god send, especially with a lot of sites moving to HTTPS by default.

HTTP/SSL was originally meant to ensure only the two parties involved in the transaction (your client and the remote website) would be aware of its contents, preventing man in the middle attacks. By adding proxies, redirects, etc., the entire point of the protocol is destroyed. It's like password protecting your wifi connection with "letmein" -- bad security is in some cases worse than no security because people think the connection is secure when it most certainly is not.

I'm not sure what you mean by "credible" in this context, as you mention no specific claims any of these three are making, nor offer any reason why we should (or should not) trust whatever reputations these companies may have with regards to said claim. Can you elaborate?

“If you study and then you wait, tests show that the longer you wait, the more you will have forgotten,”
That is what you get from setting for 2-4-6 years in a class room before getting out there and doing the real work also having to take lot's way off base classes does not help.

Also taking stuff in smaller blocks / more self-paced is the idea of the badge system

There is to much put on to a degree and not real skills.

In general there are parts of the old college system that do not fit that well into the tech field

Funding? only if someone bought her lunch.
This article was bad filler and should of been passed over.

This Analysis by Jennifer Viegas has no collaboration, no detailed examination
just what she says goes. Even if she wrote it up just for a discussion on
the topic she failed there as well -no commnets. Meaning those at news.discovery.com
know a bs headline when they see it; not even giving it a serious look.
Yet give /. a chance at it...

There was no study done on this, or Jenn forgot her cites.
