> Why is it so damn dark in that section of road? Tempe is affected by local laws that preserve âoedark skies.â Since these laws are left up to interpretation, some see it as an opportunity to light areas less to save money, rather than just redirecting correct lighting appropriately. This is especially true in Tempe's residential areas (most of Tempe), where there are few road lights and the surrounding houses can't have any "light pollution" to help either.

Smart glass (electrochromic) windows.

"Mission scientists confirmed the impact minutes later, when the craft's next possible communication pass was silent."

That's not much of a confirmation. Need they be reminded of V'ger?

You have a bullied nerd for a child if they choose being spoiled + monitored over riding in a friend's car. I'd be more concerned about them if they accepted this scenario openly than I would be if they sped occasionally.

> Even still, in web development world, deep in-depth knowledge in anything will be outdated in few years' time as new technologies roll out. So, what matter's today? Knowledge on a particular technology or re-usable engineering skills ?

Neither. Knowledge and learned skill should not make you desirable to an experienced engineering manager. The key is hobby-style interest (or ambition) in the tools, languages, and practices used in that field. You said it yourself, "deep in-depth knowledge in anything will be outdated in few years," meaning that if the applicant is not deeply invested in the field that you are interviewing for, they will allow themselves to be less useful in only a few years.

If you got your PE, you'd notice that a large part of it is "continuing education", and for good reason. The engineers that are consistently valuable in today's technology-based industries are the ones who *both* do their job and advance in their field at the same time.

The "right to be forgotten" was bad enough, but the moving target anti-trust, and now this?

The EU citizens will continue to sit on their hands until inspired to take action. They need to confront the tech-incompetent and xenophobic "authorities" they have in place now. Google should shut down their EU servers (Gmail, Maps, Translate, Music, etc) for one month, without disclosing the duration...maybe then the lazy EU citizens will start to see what kind of world their governments are creating.

You get a PhD to become a professor. If you wanted a technical job, you should have stuck with a simple degree...or masters if you must. Internship or OSS is a huge plus. Sorry that the universities sold you a dream.
