None, because the lawn owners are sitting out and yelling at the kids to get off.

Is "Google employee leaves Google and gets job in Executive Branch" a "revolving door"? Even when the job is technical not policy?

The median course grade at Harvard has been A- for over 20 years.
It's inflated, but then again, how much Harvard coursework mastery is actually necessary for your job?

This is just a hype article. The invention is a cost saving redesign of an existing device. The wholesale wholesale price ($400) is lower than the retail price of existing devices ($200), which is nice -- more competition, but not particularly technically amazing.

OTOH, it is a groundswell in the engineering community to notice the medical application. Interdisciplinarians are the hugely valuable applied scientists who unlock the power of ideas.

This is a horribly destructive attitude, that promotes salesmanship over technical talent.

Are your confusing nutritional calories with physics calories? When people talk about diet, of course they are talking about calories obtained from digestion, not combustion engines.

When people name their company generic words about their product, that's what happens.
Show some creativity if you want to be uniq.

Such are the risks of naming your company after a common word that describes the product.

The "speculation" is the worst part of a science research. It gets the most air play but has but has the least basis in fact.
Perhaps more intelligent people (by IQ test) are more introverted -- more thinking less feeling/EQ, and so are less comfortable with the company of other people they don't know well. That certainly fits the bookworm/ computer nerd / uberhobbyist type of high IQ person.
