While the industry keeps pointing out to the lack of qualified talent, we continue to see various analysts pointing out the exact reverse – c'è un eccesso di scienziati. As the debate rages on, PhDs and postdocs seem to be taking the bearing the brunt since a very small percentage of them end up getting plum positions in academia. Some are lucky enough to get good jobs in the industry, whereas others end up toiling as a low-paid lab hand (read as postdocs). The graph below illustrates this point quite well.
Le imprese rimangono scettiche sulla disponibilità di competenze di dottorato adeguate per il settore. Tuttavia, il settore sta probabilmente perdendo delle brillanti competenze di dottorato che possono cambiare drasticamente il modo in cui vengono condotte le aziende. I tempi sono maturi per un cambiamento di mentalità, che può essere realizzato rapidamente da brillanti dottori di ricerca e postdoc.
An example might help in making my point a bit clearer. You’ve always believed that every time an application on your smartphone tries to access your location, you’re alerted and the feature is enabled only once you give an explicit go ahead. We’re quite cautious about our privacy and turn off this feature on most occasions. However, Yan Michalevsky and a few of his pals at Stanford University in California have now proved that we actually carry the technology to be tracked right in our pockets. It turns out that a smartphone’s power usage depends largely on the distance from the nearest base station.
Malware can determine the location of a smartphone simply by measuring the way it uses power, a PhD student shows: http://t.co/R9YzEt9X0H

Yan et al. hanno dimostrato che un software dannoso può determinare la posizione di uno smartphone semplicemente misurando il modo in cui utilizza l'energia. È incredibile come un'angolazione diversa introdotta da alcuni brillanti esperti di dottorato possa cambiare la prospettiva sulla privacy. È ora che il settore si alzi e prenda nota. Le autorità di Android e iOS stanno ascoltando?
