Software developers are often distrustful of architecture practices, and are leaning toward avoiding conscious architecture-focused activities in favor of architectural designs emerging from self-organizing teams "Our house, was our castle and our keep"

New iPhones can be located even when they are turned off thanks to new functionality. And hackers could take advantage of that. Coming soon: malware that affects you before you buy that phone

Perhaps there needs to be a law that defines 'off' such that when a person turns off a device it is fully powered down. The implications of something not being off are frightening - are people being recorded without consent? So yeah, lets get a law on the books and paddle companies that don't respect the off button.

Except that you probably don't want it. You want the clock to run, so it must be powered up. You want to be able to turn it on by hitting that touch button, so the sensor must be powered up. You want to ...
You want it powered down except for this and that and that. The question is what to put into the list of exceptions. Don't be surprised if a lot of people insist on having functions powered up that you would like to be completely turned off, just because it it convenient. Even old-style tower PCs have a battery to ensure that they are never turned completely off. Having to set the computer clock every time you boot the PC is sort of inconvenient.

Right, hence the need to define the term 'off'.
We may need to have 'on ready off' and 'true off'.

Ok, I really don't understand journalism, right?
Quote from the article Also, as the researchers point out in the paper, hackers would need to first hack and jailbreak the iPhone to be able to access the Bluetooth chip and exploit it, potentially making it a bit redundant in most cases.
So the hacker needs physical access to the device & must be able to crack it & jailbreak it to "wirelessly install software while the phone is powered down". Oh, for fox sake!
Here's my debut as journo:
HEADLINE: DISCOVERY: People can drown on the moon during rain storms, even though it doesn't rain on the moon.
Abstract: If a person stationed on the moon sticks their head in a bucket of water for long enough, while a rainstorm is occurring on the Earth, the person may indeed drown.

In the past, career paths were practically set in stone. You joined a company as a graduate at some low-level position, stayed put, and slowly rose through the ranks over several decades. Can you explain the new positions on Tuesday and Wednesday last week?

4 - Acquire new skills: or Shallow broad knowledge vs deep technical understanding.
Also of thoughts regarding the deference of the world for working 80s/90s and 2000s/2010.
last 20 years much more people, and higher levels of location mobility. Lower levels of 20 somethings with kids so more flexable to change cities, not 100% related to simply job searching. Partner moving city for job promotion, you can move along with and find new job.
Startups and simple business turnovers, more people starting new companies that bust after, oh what magic number, 2-3 years. what a coincidence. Tech Startups and tech development does not help much with job switching stats. Does the data exclude first time/part time collage and school jobs.
80s and 90s had recessions, but I'm curious how much having direct parents that stayed in a job for life helped them think stay 5+ years. and then next generation under that thinking see 5-10 year movement, and compare 2-5 year as just acceptable.

Is browsing for a new energy contract worth it? 
Could changing internet provider be worth it? 
The alternative is to be loyal, knowing that it costs you money. Turn the roles around; would the company be as loyal to you?
So, yes; I hop. Never been anywhere for over five years. Not just because of above reasoning, but also to keep learning new things instead of falling into a routine.

In the past, there was something called a pension, increasing vacation benefits, etc. The idea being that the longer you stayed in a company, the more tribal knowledge you had. It was considered valuable. My dad spent his entire engineering career with IBM (before they went to the dark side).
I've worked for 11 companies with the last 3 as my own corporation. Maybe I missed it, but most of this article re-hashes ancient stuff. My first job change happened after 1 year. I would have never started looking except for the fact that my manager (who was a really great guy) had this phrase, "engineers are a dime a dozen." - In retrospect, it was self deprecating humor, but I took it seriously. Second, when I got my offer from Hughes Aircraft - the money was insane.
And there is your nugget - it's almost always about the money, especially if you have a family. I've always wondered why companies pass out annual raises of 4% when their top developers can walk across the street for 25%. Me thinks HR knows something about the human condition.
Most of my job changes were not directly tied to looking for a raise. The money came with it.

A shortcut. A tunnel. A bridge through spacetime that lets you skip through all that boring space travel and speed to the fun stuff. It’s a staple of science-fiction, and it’s rooted in science-fact. How difficult could it be? "So you're telling me there's a chance. YEAH!"

Article states: The first step is to understand that wormholes are totally legit in the mathematics of general relativity (GR)
In mathematics, it is perfectly legit to have -1 apples, but never seen those -1 apples in the real world.
Article continues: And at first glance, we might think that the simplest way to build a wormhole is to build a black hole.
Build black holes? There's already a few existing ones. Let the author go to Saggitarius or shut up.
