Indeed, the existence of modern computers and telephones was described in fantasy books long before they appeared and became an integral part of our life. Many people are worried about the safety of their children on the Internet, as they spend a lot of time there, and therefore parents often use apps such as mSpy for parental control. But if you are worried about the safety of your kids but are afraid to install new programs, you can always find out <a href="https://blog.mspy.com/how-to-remove-mspy-from-android/" rel="nofollow">how to uninstall mspy</a> and make sure that there is nothing complicated. I am sure this application will be indispensable for you.Saicyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818163077043159570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172085.post-4791984278928215192016-06-01T12:10:23.148-07:002016-06-01T12:10:23.148-07:00I have been in both sides of the fence. Academics ...I have been in both sides of the fence. Academics cannot produce quality code: most graduate students don't know how to write code properly, just hack their way through that something that works, no documentation, no reference, even no sensible comments. And a lot of professors did not have the opportunity to touch code in a long time either. They can learn something from the industry for sure.<br /><br />On the other hand, industry focuses too much on the technical part, not allowing the fundamental theory to find its place. Yes, they'll talk about complexities but that's about it. Start talking about publications in a meeting and in most companies you'll see them rolling their eyes.<br /><br />I don't agree with the separation: yes, academia should strive for the moonshots and the 10-year, 20-year, x-year future technology, but should also have some idea of what is practical today. Industry could benefit a bit from the scientific rigor and leave marketing and hype aside. Ideas should flow both ways. Erecting walls never helped anyone, ever.ipapadophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03468729059881637288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172085.post-12184569442289771812016-05-11T10:28:06.962-07:002016-05-11T10:28:06.962-07:00" Many important technological advances, from..." Many important technological advances, from the submarine from the cell phone, appeared in fiction well before they appeared in real life. Correlation does not imply causation, but many dare say that fiction inspires science."<br /><br />Except that your first example, certainly, is wrong. Reading your link it credits the invention of the submarine to a person who had read Jules Verne - about 1880? Not sure. Anyway, it doesn't matter.<br /><br />Submarines were used in warfare - I believe the first recorded instance is in the American Civil War. But that was building upon efforts dating as far back as the English Civil War. I am aware of a submarine being demonstrated SUCCESSFULLY in the Thames in front of King Charles II, who as a young prince fought in our civil war roundabout 1650.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08932103907039337046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29172085.post-79033286835533571482016-05-08T17:40:40.269-07:002016-05-08T17:40:40.269-07:00"The challenge, then, is not to get academics..."The challenge, then, is not to get academics to be more relevant, but to preserve the separate roles of industry and academia..."<br /><br />Thought experiment, why is not the challenge doing the reverse of blurring/merging the roles. I don't see why preserving separation is obviously the right way to go.<br /><br />This separation between industry and academia is only a few 100 years old. Academia is old but industry is not, in computer science this separation is even shorter. <br /><br />I think the world would be a better place if industry bet on longer term things, and academia should bet on more short term results.
