This talks specifically about the regulated and licensed profession of “Engineering”, which excludes most of Software jobs.

This reads a lot like the central premise in "You" by Austin Grossman -- unkillable NPCs are occasionally found to be dead and that bug is threatening the entire game studio.

Canadians get access to TN class work visa. It's meant for temporary work, but gives a few years to figure out a more permanent approach.

At quoted "1.5 GB/inch^2" they are comparing their 100 layer medium against a single-layer 25GB bluray disc. At three~four layers, current bluray discs offer 100~128GB of capacity.
Archival Disc spec brings optical media to 300GB now, 1TB on roadmap.[0] This leaves current Quartz Glass an order of magnitude behind current optical media.

Looks like it could be a geocode problem. A search for "Fruitvale BART Station" on RadPad lands you in Old Oakland / Civic Center area.

Not "required", just that after Oct 2015 the merchants will become liable for fraud (instead of the banks), if they are not equipped for Chip and PIN (apparently "pay at the pump gas stations" get an extended date of Oct 2017 instead).

That page seems to be specific to desktop apps. Web and mobile apps are still available.
Edit: before the post title was edited, it suggested that all of Cloud Drive was being discontinued.

> for fear of "FuckItDB" appearing in an exception call trace that a client might see.
Just wrap it with FuckIt.py (previously discussed at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6858855 ) "to make sure your Python code runs whether it has any right to or not"

Too bad that the article talks about Baidu's office in Sunnyvale, California.

Somewhat misleading, as Andrew Ng had left Google in 2012 to co-found and run Coursera. Baidu got him back into AI/ML. More details on his own blog post from 3 months ago — http://blog.coursera.org/post/85921942887/a-personal-message...

> Top 3 winners get $200, $100, and $50
Those are 2013 numbers. This year it's "all-expense paid trip to attend a one-day data visualization course", $500, and $250 for top 3 winners. But presumably this isn't meant to be done as a job.

Is "bought from a store" a requirement here? I've built a small garden on my balcony, and it seems that such could meaningfully supplement a $35/week budget; especially given an objective of "organic".
