  2. No more H1B Visas? on Massachusetts Embraces Philanthropy-Funded K-12 CS Education · · Score: 1

    FTA: "tech executives argue that local public schools are failing to teach students valuable computer skills."

    Does this mean if *high schools* (because we aren't talking about universities) picked up the slack and started to churn out code monkeys, these tech companies would stop lobbying for more H1B Visas? Because if they don't stop lobbying it just means they are selling these kids a bill of goods since their jobs are going to be replaced by H1B Visas holders. So Google, you can piss off.

  3. ...actually securing transactions and the databases that house this information. Nobody gives a flying fuck about home automation, consumer health and fitness wearables, which is what this article is talking about. The problem Target faced was their transaction database was hacked. It wasn't about some lame internet consumer device.

    LMOL...ok Potsy. If the Ukraine wants to join NATO they can. If the Ukraine wants to join the EU, they can. Ukraine is it's own country and can make it's own decisions. Putin can just suck it.

  11. Re:For reasons we are not yet aware of.. on Google Is Restructuring Under a New Company Called Alphabet · · Score: 1

    Really? Google is a large corporation with diverse interests. Google has become a conglomeration, like GE. Therefore restructuring their corporate structure allows for a better accounting and managing of it's different business divisions. Not really hard to understand.

    Doesn't change the judgement. Alphabet would still face the sanction. You can't restructure your way out of a lawsuit.

  15. Re:Android or is it Java? on Severe Deserialization Vulnerabilities Found In Android, 3rd Party Android SDKs · · Score: 1

    According to the article:

    "Further analysis showed that many of the SDKs were vulnerable due to weak code generated by SWIG, an interoperability tool that connects C/C++ with variety of languages, when fed with some bad configuration given by the developer." https://www.usenix.org/confere...

    So it doesn't sound like Java.

    Listen Zippy, that's not how it works. You should stop before you look more like an ass.

  18. Re:Grants to Researchers vs Institutions on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 2

    Try again. The study existed before Aisen arrived it did not originate with him. Regardless it is moot point. The university owns the research and the grant. If Aisen wants to leave, he has to settle that with UCSD, that's a contract dispute but his research stays behind.

    [disclosure: I've applied for and received an NIH grant]

  19. Re:Appropriate on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    That's not how academic research works. The university owns it. Period. That's not to say the PI couldn't carry on the research at another institution, he can, but he can't take any of the research or equipment. That stays with the university. He would have to rely what he published.

  20. Re:Appropriate on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    Resend it some more - grants are tied to the institution not the PI. Notice the institution has to allow the grant to follow the PI.

  21. Re:Seems easy to me on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 2

    You need to read, it's the institution. The PI files for the grant. Nothing more. As it clearly states it is up to the institution to allow the grant to transfer. If they don't, the NIH can terminate the grant if they feel the project can't continue under new leadership. Notice the grant does not follow the PI nor does the NIH award it to the original PI. This clearly means the grant is awarded to the institution.

    If true, he has a beef with UCSD and that's a contract dispute with UCSD **but** it does not give him ownership over the research and equipment. So no dice.

  23. Re:Seems easy to me on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    Which means little. The University owns the research, the labs and the equipment. Dr. Aisen own's his reputation, nothing more.

  24. Re:Fight over... on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    No one's hiding it but ownership is the issue. UC San Diego started the Alzheimer’s Disease Cooperative Study and then USC poached UC San Dieg's principle investigator. If this was happening in corporate sector Dr. Paul Aisen would be hit with huge lawsuits. He should pray to his lucky stars that this is just an academic hissy fit.
