Not disagreeing with most of what parent said, but academia for the most part couldn't care less about H1-Bs since that's not any sort of student visa. IIRC, one of the "bigger" visas for grad students is/was the J1. OTOH, I've know many students close to graduating who've been concerned about getting a more permanent visa, one of which could be H1-B.
You know, most PIs do give their grad students, postdocs, RAs, and lab techs credit, except for those that are assholes. Not that there aren't a fair number of those, but I don't think they're in the majority. It costs a PI nothing for the most part to put several extra people as intermediate authors on a paper. The first and maybe second authors are understood to be those who did most of the work, the last author is usually the PI who's lab it was done in, and those in the middle generally contributed something. It's almost a bigger problem that too many authors wind up on papers.
If you're looking to have a great CV and apply for a PI position at a top tier university, middle author publications are worthless. If you're an RA, tech, or "staff" such as myself, it doesn't hurt to be in the middle as most reasonable people understand that you're unlikely to get many first author papers as you're technically in a support position.
FWIW, I clicked a chapter at (semi)random and saw what you did briefly, then apparently the embedded script parsed it because the page redrew with normal looking equations.
100% agree with you on this, most people getting PhDs can't really teach that well, since many pursue the degree to focus on research and their "training" as an instructor pretty much involves running a discussion section or two and grading some exams. At least that was my experience. Also, the feedback and "reviews" I received from students pretty much paralleled their final grade and not what they learned.
The problem is, how do we fix it? Having many friends and family members who are teachers, I can also 100% say that education classes don't confer any particular ability to teach either.
Generally agreed, although I also find that many 1 star reviews also fall in one or both of two additional categories:
1. Someone bought something completely inappropriate for their situation, for example, a CF card instead of an SD card to use with their camera.
2. Someone didn't read or understand the specs/requirements/instructions.
True story about #2: when I was researching my gas stove, the only 1-star comment was from someone replacing an electric stove. They were upset that they couldn't plug the new stove's 110V, 15A plug into the old stove's 220V, 40A receptacle. Worse, according to the reviewer, this was all GE's fault.
(and most of those are still the people who say things like "I don't know why we need HDTV -- standard television is as good as it needs to get and I can't tell any different!".
Is a good dead common hex bolt really too difficult?
No, it's certainly not too difficult. In fact, it's not nearly difficult enough. By using something non-standard, it "forces" a lot of people to bring their vehicle in for (expensive) service. And for those that want to DIY anyway, well, someone in their supply chain gets to sell another tool, so it's win-win. Unless of course you happen to be the owner of the vehicle.
It's bad, but not quite as bad as you say. You're off by an order of magnitude on what a house uses. In most parts of the US, I believe minimum code requires 100 Amp service, not 10 Amps. A lot of newer homes are built with 200 Amp service. So that takes it down to 35 houses (which is still a lot). Also, as someone else pointed out, you'd almost certain charge at 220 Volts, not 110.
IANAL, but while I'm sure such a ToS would probably be considered valid, I don't think that the advertisers could "go after" users. It would, however, be within the rights of the hosting website to refuse access to anyone using an ad blocking browser, plugin, hosts file, etc., and within the rights of the advertiser to refuse to pay to have their ads hosted on any website that doesn't do that.
In Canada, the HDTV transition has been an usability disaster. The cable boxes are simply to complex. If someone puts an easy-to-use HDTV-over-internet product together - the cable companies are dead.
Unfortunately, unless things are quite different a few hundred miles to the north, this just won't be the case because for many of us, the cable company is also the ISP . Unless and until cellular data plans become faster and much cheaper.
We also shouldn't forget that providers often pay municipalities a franchise fee, conveniently billed to you the account holder, in exchange for being the "exclusive" cable provider in that area. This guarantees that even if the town did lay their own fiber to the curb, there's still not a free market for service.
Of all the days not to have mod points. Pretty much any genetic research starts by making a cDNA library. It's not that difficult; I think you can probably buy a kit to do it these days.
It's only a matter of time now until some researcher comes up with a different test for, or treatment of cancer linked to, this particular gene and Myriad's lawyers sue because they "must have" made use of the patented cDNA sequence in their research.
Furthermore, at least in NJ, the requirement is "articulable probable cause" (not admissible cause - that can't be determined until trial in any case). So if this passes, "you were in a crash, I see you have a phone" will probably be valid.
Depends what you mean by a deal. Lots of things pass uncontroversially. Just this year, BEFORE the sequester debate came back, the pentagon's orders were reviewed, and where congress saw the Pentagon wanted 7 new C-130s, congress approved 14 of them. This was bipartisan....this is what they do all the time...in fact, over the life of the program, congress has approved 5000% more C-130s than the military ever ordered
I think I just figured out why the US has such a large debt...
One could always keep track of how many "honest mistakes" are made when sending out DMCA notices. Anything over a few percent they're either lying or grossly incompetent.
You might consider how many of your Internet Explorer visitors are using something else and spoofing the user agent... Although I do think this is getting less common.
Only if you have 1000 employee boxes that will make use of those graphics cards. I doubt most places have anywhere near that many people who do 3D graphics/models, any sort of number crunching that can make use of the GPUs, etc. If you do, congrats, you need to spend the big bucks on the best hardware
Most of your employees probably spend the majority of their time doing non-accelerated 2D work - that likely includes many programmers in addition to office staff doing word processing. For these users, pretty much any relatively recent card should work.

Sadly, I used my last mod point a few minutes ago, or I'd mod this up. If you know about a vulnerability you can take steps to stay safe.

Actually, they redesigned it again in the last week or so, and it's even worse. I truly didn't think that was possible.
Fair enough, I was thinking port forwarding more in the firewall sense than the NAT sense.
Good luck telling your IPv4 CGN ISP you need a port forwarded.
Just curious - why would you think that the ISP that's unwilling to port forward an IP4 address will be any more willing to forward an IP6 address?/p?

Plenty of people out there do indeed blame Bhopal on Dow. The cynic in me thinks they're looking for a payout.
Only if we can pay in BitCoins!

No, it's not horrible, it's far, FAR worse than that.
