Indeed, I'm astonished that anyone would think upper management drives innovation. Usually they're obsessed with insuring conformity and making sure no one shows any initiative - especially if it involves risks.
However, I'm delighted to learn that it is now possible to post articles from alternative universes...
Journalists from the news site Metronews proved that it was easy to breach the allegedly strict security of the election and vote several times using different names.
My son is an aspy - who is very, very bright. He is seeing an Occupational Therapist who had these wise words... "the positive thing about your son's empathy is he doesn't give a shit about what anyone thinks about him". The conversation was around my son's "lack" of empathy.
I wonder how autism correlates (or, I would guess, anti-correlates) with socially mediated behavior like religion, affiliation with a political party, love of sports, substance abuse, etc.
Soulless & emotionless. Don't protect the autistic - they need to be buried alive.
As opposed to someone with emotion and soul, who would happily man the earth-mover. I understand that SS guards at concentration camps were particularly soulfull and emotional...
If you want something to make you feel creepy, find the Wikipedia article about the concentration camp commandant executed by Poland after the war. At Nuremberg, when confronted with the charge of killing three million people, he corrected them by saying, no, he only killed two million - the rest died of disease or starvation. Shortly before his execution he said "people tell me I did something wrong".
It's almost enough to make me believe in souls, because this guy was definitely missing something.
Autism itself isn't something you can cure, nor would most autistics want you to attempt to do so.
In addition to the usual "I wouldn't be me anymore", I would add "I (literally) wouldn't know how to act - I've spent my whole life learning to adapt to the way I am".
A year or two ago I asked a doctor whether there was any reason to even get it diagnosed in an adult, and his answer was that maybe it would help you get hooked up with a support group. As a (presumed) autistic adult, I found that to be a very strange notion... joining clubs isn't something that comes naturally for us, nor do most of us care to, once we've outgrown thinking we should try to be like everyone else.
Perhaps 'spectrum' is merely a sign of our ignorance - maybe there are 29 different disorders that we call 'autism spectrum' due to our inability to distinguish them.
OTOH, maybe its something you can have more or less of.
And FYI, autism isn't the only disorder with a spectrum. Some have nothing to do with the brain.
It was just Skynet checking out what you were up to. Or maybe the ATF. Or Russian Mafia. Or...
As for security, ~5 years ago read someone's account of watching while someone on the internet installed a root kit on his Linux box in a matter of minutes.
Presumably some platforms/applications are less likely to be compromised than others, but the safest assumption is that everything is compromised, or would be if the experts wanted it.
FWIW, a couple of years ago the NSF added a new requirement that funding proposals must include a dissemination plan. I think we'll continue seeing (slow) improvement in this.
Meanwhile, if you can find out the researchers' names, and think of a couple of keywords to filter out false hits, there's a very good chance you can find the results of the research using a search engine.
Google Scholar is also a good way to filter out a lot of irrelevant hits.
Why can't you post it online yourself? Would that violate university or journal policy?
That's what usually happens. Most articles published in the field of CS since ~1990 seem to be available on line, and sometimes scans of older ones. Don't know about other fields.
Some print journals have a "self-archiving" policy that lets authors post their article to their own web page. Then they get found by your favorite search engine, and there you have it.
I suspect print journals have adopted the policy to keep prospective authors from taking their work somewhere else. I also suspect that lots of authors post their stuff without bothering to look up the journal's self-archival policy.

They're just trying to keep one step ahead of the generics.
I.e., patent expirations. That's what makes generics.
He also told me that about 90% of all the new drugs actually come from research out of universities, not the pharmaceuticals themselves
I keep reading that from a broad variety of sources as well.
(Is it true?)
I agree not all old cures are necessarily awesome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trepanning
Hey, it worked for me!
A big chunk of law + law enforcement has always been about defining property rights and protecting the interests of the 'haves'.

Is it news every time someone finds a security vulnerability?
Not having a girlfriend on line as depressing as not having a girlfriend in the real world.
FTFY.

Adds a new meaning to "vote for me".

No, just forced to invite every potential house builder in for a cuppa so they can see what modifications you made...
"The bathroom's at the top of the round tower, where you have a good view. But there aren't any stairs yet."
Where do I download the building materials? Is there a torrent for it?
There's an on-line "Autism Quotient" test that you should be able to find with a search engine.
Like other self-administered tests, I wouldn't consider it diagnostic, but perhaps is has some use as "suggestive".

Maybe the editors thought it was an article about dyslexia.
Autism is real. The "spectrum" is bullshit.
Another A/C sets the adults straight.

We just use to through autistic people off the tops of mountains.
Watt did you due to people who make word-choice arrows?
Sorry, all I got was a statement that it happened, no details.

LoL. More than somewhat relevant!
Just as long it is about sports, we don't care about right and wrong or morals.
IMO our society has a ridiculous fixation on sports.
Cheating in sports? Who'd of thought it!
