No. Darth Vader is no different.
"Maybe we should be shocked about the fact they take photos of us already."
Let's not stop there! Do you know they have our names and our social security numbers! Somebody stop the madness I say. What happened to the days when the governement didn't gather such data
Don't get me wrong, I am against governemental abuse at least as much as you, but when you chase boogeymen you take attention away from the real issues and make us all look like idiots.
"I remember seeing pretty much this same story last week on slashdot!?"
You remember a different Slashdot than everyone else on the planet.

"Copying a juicy bit from the article and saying "Link to original source" is not a summary."
What the hell are you talking about? The best summaries do exactly that. It's the ones where the submitter tries to write their own content where things tend to get stupid real quick.
In other words, within a year or two we will be rolling out ads that you will be forced to watch before you can view the programming you pay a subscription fee for.
Just so you know, the average malware jockey makes money that makes me wonder why I remain on this side of the fence. So much for "getting a good job that pays well".
Don't worry. He already has one.
Except that it isn't an instant. Insulin takes effect pretty darned quickly. Thyroid changes can take days or weeks, and the synthetic hormones themselves actually have to be taken under specific circumstances, as absorption into the blood stream orally requires no significant intake of food. My wife takes her medication early in the morning and then cannot eat for something like three hours.
Having an artificial thyroid that would more closely monitor TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone, the way your body monitors and adjusts thyroid hormone levels is complex) and adjust actual thyroid hormone levels directly would be far better in the long run.
Actually, no.
I've learned one thing: Never ever touch the hot topic everyone else seems to avoid. Not even with a ten foot pole. There are exactly three things that can happen. Either it resolves itself. This is the norm and gets you off the hook. Or someone else is stupid enough and tackles it, gets burned and loses his job. That's fine as well. Or it blows up and the blame is shared within the department. That's ok as well since nobody gets fired for it.
Since promotion happens today by tenure and not by merit, what you do is less important than what you don't do.

I'm curious, if you were given this advice when preparing for the "awesome" job that college promised, would you have wasted four years and thousands of dollars for such an "amazing" opportunity?
I mean seriously...this warning sounds like a North Korean travel brochure.
therefore, smart managers don't use emails.
Sure they do! They just also happen to run their own email servers.
I'm not sure what her rate is, but Hilliary is likely available to answer any questions you may have. I hear she is rather skilled at setting up data retention policies...
Then you lose your offer when you're asked for a recent pay stub.
Then perhaps you short-circuit this from happening altogether, and instead pose the question of relevance when current salary is queried.
It is an odd question. It's like going to buy a new car and the dealer asking you what you paid for your last one.
"keep every email"
That's a good one.
Yeah, it's good for a laugh, when you realize your email policies prohibit any employee from saving any email older than 5 years, and they auto-delete from the system.
Used to keep legal discovery in check. I'll let you decide if it's for your benefit or not...
Even forgetting the security issue, going around with a pump and injection line connected all the time is a lot more of a pain in the ass than current methods. Also, it can't make judgements based on future activity - you might want less insulin than normal because you're about to embark an on 3-hour bike ride, which if you take your regular dose, will make you hypoglycemic, pass out, and wake up in an ambulance or the hospital (insulin efficiency increases with activity level, which is why you need less insulin when you're about to be active for any period of time).
I'm rather amazed that you don't believe a computer somehow cannot monitor the "future" in real-time , as was suggested when using the Dexcom continuous glucose sensor in the hardware design.
Remember we're trying to remove the human element here, which can easily be identified as the point of weakness as well as the maintainer.
Pretty amazing advance. Now I wish they'd do the same for the thyroid. My wife had hers removed due to cancer nine years ago, and has to manage her thyroid levels via synthetic thyroid hormone pills, which, while effective, are crude and require regular testing to make sure she's not hyperthyroidic or hyothyroidic.
