I don't think they are refering to the same thing but I had a couple courses with required Math software assignments. Now learning Matlab was valuable, but I spent the courses learning the quirks of the software rather than the material and the lack of that material has been harmful. Without a teacher who can walk you through the software to get at the material, math software can be as much of a distraction as a help.
For months people have been saying that people are clearly using chemical weapons in Syria, but we've been floundering on taking the action we said we would because there was no credible intelligence. While we may not have any credibility, it makes us look twice the idiot if everyone knows it but we can't get officially credible intelligence with the most sophisticated intelligence operation in the world.
Actually, psychologically, we do need jobs or at least meaningful tasks. However, we do need to rethink how we allocate the fundamental necessities given greater and greater productivity from less and less labor. We also need to think about what we do with human potential if we reach a place where labor isn't necessarily tied to survival.
That is why the first cars in development are sensor solutions. There has been quite a bit of research with smart roads, but that is a long term solution. Early adoption will use sensor fusion to create a driving picture. I think it would be cool to try and visualize the data for a manual driver as well.
Or, somewhere in between, where severely obese people can get into shape necessary for regular exercise by going through the pill regimen or by supplementing or weaning themselves towards regular exercise. Or otherwise healthy people can use the pills to maintain the benefits of exercise while recovering from an injury or disease preventing regular exercise.
Alright now one for the important part. Distinguish between me copyrightinfringementing my friend's copy of the mp3 he bought last night and the article's copyrightinfringementing to sell for profit in large quantities.
I assume here you mean turn them off for a tactical advantage. Even if you knew how many bulbs I owned, how would you know my installation well enough to actually gain the tactical advantage? This carries as much risk or more than just cutting the power.
I heard a great conference presentation on gamification. The problem with edutainiment and the like is they often get clogged either through educational baggage or lack of funding by completely forgetting to develop for fun. We get an endorphine release from learning and solving problems, but there is a proper schedule of difficulty to reward that is important to acheiving and optimizing the release.
And how I schedule my lights is even remotely useful? With this my activation of a light is further removed from my real world use. If I were conspiring to watch your every move I would not try and sell you on a technology that generates so much unnecessary noise in your data.
I've never been felt particularly deprived either. I have had times where I left home intending to be back home prior to dark and not left a light on or carried a flashlight to be stuck wandering from the street light to my dark porch to identify the proper keys to open the door. It hasn't inconvenienced me enough to actually get a connected bulb, but I might consider it when I have to replace it.
Careful. This is probably why the guy isn't doing well with the management question. Schedule, estimation, project organization, purchasing advisement,... If you are experienced then you can (maybe should) pick up all this stuff without a single direct report.
I've never tried it but I have it on good authority that when combined with the component gunpowder the dose of lead in a bullet is sufficiently lethal to the average human.
The article pointed at it being fear mongering among managment but I wonder since the article mentioned he was one of the top programmers on Wall Street. I wonder if this was an attempt to make him unemployable since he was leaving to go work for a competitor.
You mean like if a some group of people got together chipped in a bit of their income and organized to manage a community resource to help nearly everyone or generally benefit society? Well we'd need a set of rules for making sure everyone got a fair shake at it. Then we'd need some officers to oversee it. Oh wait, one of these groups already has the spectrum and they are about to sell it to private companies so they don't have to ask you for more money for other stuff.
We sort of have arcologies in the way of several "traditional" living communities around town. They combine residential structures with shopping, education, and (presumably) work. Unfortunately, your choice of employment local to the community is limited by the market pressures of the city at large. The planned nature raises cost of the buildings, so the housing attracts high end clients. The higher costs of business property has led to a lot of vacancy and the few employers (while high end retail) don't pay well enough to support living in the community. So you can do some living stuff there but you have to drive out to work at a job that will support living there and the workers have to drive in because they can't afford to live there. As much as I love the idea of an arcology, I'm not so sure I'd risk my investment money on an arcology.
Equations don't do a poor job explaining things. Equations do an excellent job of explaining things...if you have the proper skill to parse them and the educational context to apply them. The problem with using an equation in pop press is that you have to educate the public in the stuff educational context and if you have to go into that detail then you've most likely overridden the benefit of the shorthand mathematical notation.

He isn't making erroneous claims. He is inventing; the important people in the fields just don't realize the truth yet.

I'm pretty sure the banks are pretty good at catching criminals. They just don't tend to do with them what we would expect...

It doesn't have to be 802.11, but I can see some use in not having to go inside to turn on your outdoor lights.

Granted, he had nowhere to go but up.
I'm more curious what happens to the marketability of one's writing when they are no longer using their own writing style.

I can't help but think breeding aggression out of a carnivore might have detrimental side effects for the species.
So we can play in the channel with medical devices but God help you if you mess with AT&T's block?
