At what point did the system go awry? When did postdoc go from being a training position to cheap labor? Was it with the doubling of the NIH budget?

No quantitative idea, but as disgusting as the salaries for football coaches (N.B., depending on the school, it may be a budget separate from the academic enterprise), university p…

I seem to recall one could damage a computer easily by interfacing through the parallel port without isolating correctly... Doesn't look like this guide covers the pitfalls.

Packaging is hard. I'd like to additionally nominate cables (as in wire harnesses) and strain reliefs to the list of things that make my life miserable.

How does the requirement to relocate to SF work for companies with a wet lab or specialized capital equipment requirement? And outside of mentoring/networking (can YC provide in th…

It's true that Ti rings are harder to cut, but the equipment to cut them is standard in American ERs. It still takes longer though. Even worse are the newer cobalt chrome rings, th…

I guess I don't understand what you mean by a PE not being government-regulated licensing? If you mean that a software engineering PE isn't mandated for work, then I agree that's t…

Stick your head in the sand if you want, but for a couple years now there has been PE licensure for software engineering: http://ncees.org/about-ncees/news/ncees-introduces-pe-exam…

Sorry, but I would argue that not reading patents relative to your project is practicing negligence. Maybe that gets you out of trebled damages for willful infringement, but it ope…

FDA requirements mostly target the SDLC: risk analysis, change control, documentation, v&v, &c. Companies are afforded a surprising amount of flexibility in implementation. Basical…
