The Nobel prize is 8.000.000 SEK this year or ~960.000 USD. Divided by three that's $320k each. That you are very likely to only get once for a career in research stretching over decades. I suppose you could say it's a whole lot more than nothing, but if you wanted to make money you should have become a NFL quarterback or something.
Of course, but to be fair, most of us here wrestle daily with the regret we have over opting out of that quarterback gig.
The Nobel Prize (and associated recognition) is as important today as ever, given the profitability limitations on the study of many new drugs and treatments by many of the large companies involved in research and development.
Nice, and very different from the less than pleasant, lengthy series of phone conversations I was subjected to as a Citi customer reversing a fraud denial.
OTOH, I would prefer the fraud software to err on the side of caution, but KISS...>
A simplified reversal process might also include a couple of test questions texted or emailed to a number/email on file.
I came here to say something like this, but you've stated the case very well.
I would add that unless a disgruntled worker or sixteen comes out of the woodwork to reveal he/they knew it was going on, at a major auto manufacturer?
well, there's your answer: No grand conspiracy existed.
...there won't even be the same sort of mass outrage associated with this. Only a few geeks will even notice or pay attention. Making it even less likely that anything will change.
Quite right. Even now (as millions of hard-earned credit ratings are threatened) the school shooting, the Vatican's elaboration on the Pope meeting Ms. Davis, and latest thing Trump said are bigger news stories.
If they really want things to change, they should agree to work towards abolishing stupid patents---not to create semi-trusts that other companies have to fight.
These two really don't want things to change.
Much of their proprietary art is patent protected already, and let's face it: fighting patent litigation is generally going to favor the corporations with the biggest war chests.
And yes, this has the same sense of igNobility about it as anecdotal studies show that if you give kids loads of sweets they won't have appetite left for dinner, no matter what it is.
It sounds like a no-brainer, but sometimes you really smart fockers forget that a great percentage of the population actually engaged in child rearing is less intelligent than you.
Hearing something like this, over and over if necessary, can only help what has become an epidemic of poor Western dietary trends.
But what I don't understand is why you wouldn't just go and work at Maccas you would probably take more home with less stress.
Maccas... swell done.
Some pimply-faced assistant manager might be on your ass at Maccas, so I don't know about the less stress angle, but some folks will take a cut in pay to be the boss.
8 hour shift is $200 max. Out of that comes fuel & vehicle wear and tear, IRS say 57c per mile and I would have thought 20 miles an hour was reasonable including stops etc so that $91.20 on an 8 hour shift. Add to that cost of capital of the car, insurance, accountants, other ancillary "run your own business costs" and I'm struggling to see you making $10 an hour.....
Though I'd suggest the 57 cents per mile reimbursement allowance is fairly generous for a courier with an economical auto, you are indeed onto the crux of the issue.
Delivery contractors will be incentivized to cut corners on things like maintenance, replacement tires, oil changes, and so on.
I've been in business when I had money, and when I did not. It is infinitely more difficult to do everything properly when you are poor.
Also, too, and neither... we live in the age of ubiquitous cameras and alarm systems. The household burglary rate has been in steady decline since 1994.
A great number of breaking and entering complaints are idiot junkies looking for a fix, and the skilled cat burglar is a tiny minority of the throngs of dummies who spend half their lives free & high...and the other half with all bills paid, incarcerated & sober.
Cigarette quitter for 7+ months. I don't miss it as much with each passing month, although it still comes up occasionally when I have an adult beverage.
On the plus side, there seems to be a noticeable stamina improvement when climbing stairs and such, and no more morning hacking.
But. If I was reliably informed of my eminent demise, I would have some cigarettes... and probably donuts with ice cream.
Unless the tech savvy corporate honcho is a founder of the company, it seems likely the person in the boardroom is a ladder-climbing, win at all costs personality type.
Perhaps this is not the skill set that makes for the best tech minds.
That, and there's a virulent belief that IT can simply be outsourced.
A key is "what you have", whereas a fingerprint is "who you are". You can't claim the 5th on either of those. You can however claim the 5th on "what you know" which is what a password is. However if you, for example, write down the password somewhere, that can be considered a "what you have" and wouldn't be protected by the 5th.
A somewhat opposing argument is that the documents (email, text messages, photographs, etc.) fall under "what you have", and that a court can compel you to produce those documents. Of course, there are ways to get all of the data off of a phone without turning over the user's password (forcing the user to change the password to one supplied by the prosecutor is the easiest thing that comes to mind), and one would think that this would be acceptable to the prosecution.
One of the truly great things about humans is their innate ability to craft different meanings, occasionally along the lines of personal suitability, from identical text(s).
Since one particular view is seldom always correct, perhaps the versatility is a survival advantage mechanism.
Clearly, so the stranded astronaut could develop an oxygen creating biosphere, an important play on the second act if he is to live long enough for the rescue mission to arrive.
Science is good, even when it is delivered in the cinema, where it is likely to garner some youthful adherents.
Who among you was not inspired in youth by some not-too-realistic science fiction movie?

And given Snowden's revelations, it's purely ridiculous to claim that privacy rights can be respected if foreign data are stored in the US.
It's pretty ridiculous to claim privacy rights can be respected with regard to personal information stored anywhere.
Do you reasonably suspect the surveillance powers will have any problem crossing imaginary lines in the dirt?

Post with a UID and eventually karma. This makes it more difficult to bury your post in (-1) purgatory.
Don't beg for up mods... makes you smell desperate.

What a shame, but nothing will really change once this is all hashed out.
Perhaps it's just one of those inflation controversies?
Marshall, Texas.

They've decided to {shudder} combine forces and go all Pinky and the Brain on the rest of us.

Your link amazing coward.
Too few people nowadays (and politicians en masse) are willing to speak from a core belief set for fear of {horrors} offending someone!
Even ridiculous courage is refreshing these days.
He's 22 now... so kitty or hacker? IDK.
He was wrong, he is certainly a thief, and should be punished; but he's not responsible for anywhere near the whole Citadel fiasco.
