I do this. But my company is ok with it so its not an issue. The reason why is that I actually handle business related tasks from my phone like emails. We are a very small company, so when something pops up in an email, as the one in charge of our website and all of the technology, I am sometimes the only person that can respond. The article doesn't really mention the types of businesses, the sizes of these business, or even the culture. So they might have surveyed 204 employees from tech start ups comprised of mostly 20-somethings where this type of behavior is not explicitly frowned upon or even necessary. Also what do they count as "formal meetings"? My company has a few meetings a week ranging from marketing campaigns to a weekly check in. If these young adults ares answering social calls, there is a far larger issue here than them answering it in a meeting. But if they are work related calls and texts, this might be acceptable or even required.
Ok, so let's say that we do have NP-complete cryptosystems. Did you manufacture your own hardware? The point, however abstract it gets, is that trust has to be somewhere or you get no where. You simply cannot know everything about everything well enough to validate all information around you, at some point you have to give up control and trust that the people in charge of that portion of your life are doing the job they are tasked with. This is not to say that you do not verify the sources in which you place trust at all! Remain skeptical, but trust to any varying degree is a must.
This is exactly correct. I use SHA256(passphrase,domain) on every site. It is easy to recover my passwords where ever I am and all I have to remember is the passphrase and then look at the domain. I used to just type in a random password and use password resets every time I wanted to log in, that seemed to work pretty well and is about as fast as generating my SHA256 password.
If you are going to take the time to learn a subject past the basics, and you have time, and its affordable, why not get a credential that proves it? Not every industry accepts that you just know your shit. I have a degree in physics, but I work in IT. Some fields make it easier to spot who knows whats going on than others, which is where degrees come in. If the GP wants to eventually change careers, its is much easier to do that with 3 degrees vs 1. Not everyone has the time or money to make this a reality, but if you can I don't see why wouldn't. Open as many doors as possible.
I maintain my companies site on Drupal 7 and it is in fact a resource hog. We have had to add more RAM to our servers twice because when our users go to checkout, our server times out and our users get a 502 error page. To be fair our Drupal site was poorly developed and only halfway done before I got my hands on it so I guess its possible building a site properly and completely would change this.
I agree with this 100%. I live in a bad area, shootings and crime are common place. Yet at midnight when shots are fired I never hear or see cops. Yet I have gotten parking tickets (not from parking enforcement but actual officers) for blocking my driveway by an inch or so. I have said for a while that motorcycle cops are a horrible use of my money, because all they focus on is traffic violations. Police should be out looking for intentional maliciousness not waiting for the first person who happens to roll through a completely empty stop sign. Police shouldn't be in the game to make money. Yet my friend who works a close by Police department says he is literally given monthly quotas that they aim to achieve even though it is explicitly said that a department cannot do that. Police should be more like a non-profit. I would be happy to pay more taxes knowing they were doing their jobs objectively, and actually making an impact on crime instead of just looking at ways of keeping themselves open.
I too am skeptical, and await more independent tests. But currently the E-Cat is looking to be the most promising project in cold fusion. we definitely need more tests, and more data!! Only time will tell if this is just ego-stroking, or the real deal.
I assume the news is more about the fact that researchers are actually using a modified Google algorithm. It doesn't say anywhere that it's a new idea to look at how your body is connected to combat disease. All this information can be found simply from the title, and the Google icon next to it. I could be wrong however, and maybe this entire article went over my head.
Why be openly dismissive? Aren't all things in science subject to new data? This should simply reinforce that we know very little about our universe. 1987a data doesn't have to correlate with this new data. Who's to say the previous data isn't flawed? I understand skepticism, but science is ever changing.
beside Big Brain Academy, the DS brain games always featured older people using the DS to help sustain problem solving skills. if you buy Brain Age like i did they talk about how each puzzle effects your prefrontal cortex which is the problem solving portion of your brain. also they say if your under 18 you have yet to fully develop this part of your brain. and since all 3 games appeal to the same part of the brain since they are all based on reflex and problem solving they arent meant for little kids to become smarter, but possibly help speed the development of the cortex.

Well if something like the E-Cat can make serious strides within the next few years, that might solve some power issues. If... http://www.forbes.com/sites/markgibbs/2013/05/20/finally-independent-testing-of-rossis-e-cat-cold-fusion-device-maybe-the-world-will-change-after-all/
As I read this comment, that very line was on TV as well. Creepy.
Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Really helped me figure out how to make a positive future for myself and those around me.

Not really a sight to see, but a fun place with a lot of cool hands on science. Possibly worth the visit.
So that's where he went after he left Dunder Mifflin. Impressive.
