SRE, or Site Reliability Engineering, is the future of asking a team of engineers to handle a production environment. In fact, Google literally just released their book on the subject. https://landing.google.com/sre...

If you really want to be employable then I recommend getting a nanodegree in Machine Learning through Udacity. https://www.udacity.com/course... One of the things that makes their program stand out is that they use project based learning. Upon completion you have projects that you can present to perspective employers.

Or if they appended '5G' to the end of their 2.4G SSID. :)

They can end free OTA broadcasting... they just need to give the wireless spectrum back to the US Government. Not going to happen.

The cable companies simply want to put Aereo out of business using whatever means necessary. The SCOTUS ruling might actually be a blessing in disguise. If they can legally be classified as a cable company, and therefore obtain a compulsory license to the content, they will be able to rearchitect their entire system to make it more efficiently able to serve a large number of customers. Even after paying for the compulsory license I believe they will still be able to keep the costs way down and provide a great and inexpensive service to their users.

Tech skills are in high demand so it makes sense that large tech companies will begin targeting high schoolers. Having a college degree is not necessary, however it would prove incredibly useful in the long run.... especially as one tries to advance their career or move to a different company. The solution for these large companies is to come up with a work/study program so that these young tech workers have the opportunity to attain a college degree while working at the company. This works out advantageous to both the company and the employee; the company gets a skilled college-educated worker and the employee gets a college education. Furthermore, if the company pays for the program then the young employee doesn't need to take out any loans to pay for the exorbitant cost of college... making it a win/win! A little background on myself; I attained my Bachelors degree as a full-time student and when I entered the job market I was able to negotiate into my hiring contract that my employer would cover my Masters degree as I continue my education part-time. This worked out great as I am currently taking my final course and will have my Masters at the end of August.

...someone figures out how to send a brake command to other people's bikes from a laptop? Even better yet, just send the brake command to people's front brakes... flipping them over when they least expect it! I imagine sitting by the window in a coffee shop while all the bikers who attempt to ride by are in for quite a surprise.

"You do not want your head to leave the pillow... Your eyelids are growing heavier.... ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" I can't imagine how many people will be late to work because of this.

when Pandora and Grooveshark can satisfy all your music needs through the cloud? A drop in media piracy likely has little to do with copyright enforcement and much more to do with cloud streaming services that offer content for free.

We need to stop pointing our fingers at PayPal and start pointing them at the US Government. I am sure political powers put a tremendous amount of force on PayPal to shut down the account.

Great suggestion! Recently my wifi at home kept dropping so I changed the channel and all the problems went away. I will use this to find the optimal channel to use in my condo. Thanks!

I have the same situation with my own surround sound system. It is highly plausible that the posters neighbor comes home and watches TV at night and unknowingly causes all his neighbors WIFI networks to come down. I live in a condo and only use my surround sound system to watch movies now because of this bug.
