Don't forget malten salt for heat storage. This is very corrosive stuff; I'd expect a lot of maintenance will come from dealing the the malten salt.

Interesting that it isn't a Tesla that is the first car on Amazon. Nissan is clearly going to piss off their dealers.

The leader in this picture has an inability to delegate. Leading by example is not always the most effective strategy. Assessing the team and applying their talent to different aspects of the project is often a better strategy than leading the charge.

Yahoo sells you. My wife works in advertising and marketing and Yahoo sells them user profiles for targeting ads and focusing their efforts.

I graduated in the recession of 2002. I struggled finding that first job. As mentioned above, absolute catch 22. Very few want to hire a recent graduate, everyone wants an EE with 2-4 years of experience. I got my lucky break and started with a decent salary; nothing mind blowing, but decent. It's now 11 years later, I carry a Senior EE title and make a little more than double my initial pay and am pretty topped out salary wise as far as I can see. Management is unfortunately the only way up. I've worked at large companies who simply do not even consider hiring an EE (or software developer for that matter) over 50. We were building a team for a new product within an organization and weren't able to consider older candidates. 50 is the end of the rope for anyone with a tech title and without management anything. Jobs can probably be found but pay is not going to be high. I'm forcing myself to highlight my management experience (be it project, personnel, etc.) as I look for my next position as this is the best way I see to stay relevant and continue the career progressing upward. Good luck to all EEs out there!

Canada for starters. All of the above plus: Healthcare coverage for all citizens!

They're in short enough supply as it is and beer is far more important than nanosheets!

The city council must have breathed a HUGE sigh of relief.

I think a more relevant question is which do you pay for? I still read Esquire and some cycling magazines and whatever I come across in waiting rooms. I still like reading Time and the Economist. BUT which do I pay for? None. Internet has killed the business model, first and foremost.

Just deal with it.

Google glass looks tailor made for law enforcement and military personnel. It is reminiscent of Terminator type display. A cop can browse your full record and bio when they approach you and likewise, out in combat, a soldier will have access to the same; granted, more limited amount of info.

If governments and corporations would just stop collecting all that data on everyone...

I think what's going to come out of it is that the contracts with carriers will be re-written. When you "buy" your smartphone at a discounted price from a carrier by all means they should own the carrier lock as it protects their "investment" into subsidizing the handset in hopes of making it back with profit (albeit disproportionately large profit) on your contract. Until your contract period is in place, I don't see why it should be allowed for you switch carriers? I suppose the gray area is oversea travel where the carrier lock forces you into paying an exuberant amount for calls. But then, they technically till own your handset so you may as well just get a prepaid phone locally and keep your smartphone as a computer with wifi access only.
