Hm.. if I delete the element from the DOM without clicking the button (trivial if you use the inspector), does this imply I do not confirm that I've received the Copyright Alert?

Edit: Also, I'm sure most people will just click the button without reading anything.
It sounds like the Tesla model: first create a luxury car that you can sell to the very wealthy, and use those funds to increase production & lower costs through increased volume to produce a family car... then use the increased demand for batteries to make building a Gigafactory cost effective, so you can start producing Powerwall house batteries, so you can start taking more houses off the electricity grid & become 100% solar.
Moving forward it could transform into a Patreon competitor, and it would make sense to do that. Since social networks help creative personnel capture a lot of eyeballs, they might aswell help them raise funds.

True, I thought the same.

But then, if they'd used a CB radio, there'd have been no records on the device at all. You can go both lower and higher tech to avoid leaving a trail.

The fundamental issue our society faces is that the world people thought existed, pre-Snowden, wasn't all that bad. There are controls, a system of laws and warrants, judges have to approve requests for data, and companies hand it out only in cases where it's really justified. Terrorist used WhatsApp to send a message to his buddy before blowing up a football stadium? It is - literally - warranted.

Post Snowden we know that world didn't really exist, it was more a sort of theatre governments put on when they didn't care much about the outcome. So now the data is disappearing so nobody has it. It's not obvious that this is an improvement over restoring the world that was previously thought to exist, but that was apparently too unstable to survive.

it's not regulation, occupational health, and safety standards that keep the price higher. Drugs sold in india have just about as good standards as in the US. If it's made by Novo Nordisk, it probably comes out of the same plant that supplies the US supply. Even Indian generics manufacturers get themselves certified by the FDA because they want the lucrative US market.
Just read the Quran. See for yourself if a reader who decides to actually read the "actual words of god" would get that "contradictory" feeling or not.

After you read enough to have your view based on your own experience, also try to find out how many of those who believe claim those aren't the actual words of god but "some old contradictory texts." (As far as I know, only "apostates" dare to do so, once you read the original, you'll know why.)

There is a similar tool for the whole world created by a german student a few years ago - http://tracker.geops.de - albeit without RT data for berlin because apparently they dont have access to it. But they do have RT data for the netherlands.
I know I'm being unfairly picky when I should be thanking you for building a helpful install script; but your install instructions seem very counterintuitive given the privacy argument of running a VPN:

wget git.io/vpn --no-check-certificate -O openvpn-install.sh && bash openvpn-install.sh

Aside the lack of https scheme in the URL, you're also deliberately disabling the certificate authentication and then directly running the output into bash.

Granted the double ampersand offers some protection, sadly it's still little better than the often criticized:

curl http://example.com/install.sh | bash

Plus the address you supplied is a shortened URL so the user has to trust that the file it redirects to is the same Github hosted file that's in the referenced repo.

I do appreciate the work you've done. But given the security and privacy expectations of VPN, it might be worth having a little more transparency in your install instructions - even if that means splitting your instructions into 2 lines.
Not true:

"VBB-Livekarte zeigt berechnete Positionen der Fahrzeuge zwischen zwei Stationen; falls kein Live-Fahrplan vorhanden, dann Position gemäß geplanten Fahrzeiten"

I don't think NASA has the budget to launch 23+ orbiter missions, regardless of how cheap and generic the orbiters are. Anyway, I think if you're going to spend a large fraction of a Billion dollars just getting there, it makes sense to spend a bit more to make sure the payload is optimised for the job. Each one of these missions has a good chance of being the only one of it's kind for one or more generations. Better to do it right the first time.
As always, the burden of proof lies with the party making the existence or effectiveness claim. It is on the surveillance proponents to prove their effectiveness.
The thing with algorithms in such use-cases is that once people know the algorithm (even partially), they will start gaming it. E.g. Google's ranking algorithm and there are companies who do SEO.
The site looks like a clone of Google Maps, but you're limited to London, you show far fewer results in any given location, and the search doesn't work nearly as well.

For example, I can visit Google Maps, type in 'Italian food in Mayfair' and I instantly have results. On your site I type the same thing, and I get nothing. Instead, your site gives search suggestions for Indian and British food for my Italian search, and I'm forced to click one of the suggestions.

It also doesn't allow me to search cuisine and location at the same time. I can search for Italian food across your entire database, or I can search for a location like Mayfair. To do both, I need to search the location first, and then apply a filter for Italian cuisine. Also, why can I search cuisines, then filter cuisines? I mean, I can use the British search suggestion, and then apply a filter for Indian. Why is this even possible? Filters shouldn't exist, the search bar should be able to combine cuisine and location.

Lastly, for my original search, your site shows 8 results. Google is returning hundreds. You're going to get absolutely no traction when you offer an inferior product to a well established competitor with millions of users.

Why don't you tell us some reasons why someone should use your site instead of the competitors, like Google Maps?
They say that for bulk downloading one should use the API because they want to be able to serve the 'normal' customers too. I perceive this as Elsevier having a bandwidth problem, I'd be more than happy to host a bunch of torrents with their papers to help them solve this problem.
If anyone is interested, you can get TigerVPN lifetime for 30$ (one connection slot) or find online (I found one on reddit) TorGuard 50% coupon for 2 years service, but 5 slots and more endpoints. I use both from UK, and Internet is clear over there.
The title is link-bait. That really isn't what Elsevier is saying here. They are complaining that this researcher broke the terms for the university's subscription. On their website they state: [0]

"""Further, we're looking at how we ensure that researchers know what they can and cannot do with content, or where to go for further information, without giving the impression that we are claiming ownership over non-copyrightable facts and data."""

Regarding this case, (IANAL) it seems to be that if their APIs worked properly, then Elsevier is completely in the right (especially in the UK) in demanding that papers only be accessed through the API. If they don't work, as the researcher alleges, then would I agree that's he's in the right.

A couple weeks ago I was reading all about Elsevier's APIs for downloading papers [1]. If you're at an institution that has access to ScienceDirect or Scopus then it seems you can easily get a key that gives you full access to everything, including papers in XML instead of PDF if you want (eg. a mathml-like for equations, paragraphs, figures, tables all marked up). However Elsevier make it very difficult to find the actual terms and conditions for text mining on their website, despite numerous pages which run you in circles. They are here [4].

To summarise them (again, IANAL): non-commercial research use only. You can't share the raw text mining output except with other people belonging to your institution/subscriber, although you could allow indirect access through e.g. a website. You can also distribute short snippets from the text with a copyright notice. You can keep the downloaded data until your API key expires, which happens if you stop using it or your institution stops subscribing.

I also found it strange that Elsevier forbid redistributing the abstracts of papers [3], considering that they are publicly accessible.

It would be fantastic if publishers couldn't restrict the use of the information in the articles they published, even for commercial use. Anything that any human learns from a copyrighted work can normally be used without restriction, why wouldn't the same apply to machine learning? However I assume that when you sign an agreement providing access to data (e.g. subscribe to Scopus) that you can sign away that sort of right (e.g. NDAs). The Hague Declaration [2] is a great initiative in this direction but unfortunately it's only petitioning for the rights of researchers.

Back in 2005 we had a really bad issue with ZModem to a barcode terminal over an USB2Serial adaptor and Chuck helped us as a consultant.

I've just dug out the old emails we've exchanged back in the day and I remember how great it felt when after only two days, he solved the problem we've been working on for weeks.

I was so happy to finally see our problem go away.

> This crucially depends on a 70ton (LEO) launcher and it's no guarantee SLS will get off the ground.

That's a fair point of course, but equally there's no point building the rocket if we don't also plan for things for it to launch.
Of course computers are better than humans when they both have same amount of rigid standardized data.

The elephant in the room is: when you do in-person interview, human captures much more data than computer will ever know. We make dives into candidate's background and skills. Dives that you can't put into data model.

Of course that doesn't matter much for low-skill jobs.
If it wouldn't be that economical then the whole 'made in China' phenomenon would not exist.

The biggest problem I had in moving back from Canada to NL was to pick up the container in Rotterdam harbor and to have it delivered at our house. The rest of the 6500 km journey was trivial.
Isn't theft a crime? Isn't publicly accusing someone of a crime he did not commit a slander? Should all content-mining researches sue Elsevier for slander? I don't see why not.
Looks like they are just interpolating the location between two stations using the expected arrival times. If no expected arrival times are available, they simply simulate the location to match the planned arrival times. So this is not really "live".

Author of the blog post here - to be a good sport, I gave the open insulin guys the design they're using. I think the chemistry is solid and it will work, but I can't say I'm confident the team will be able to get it together. Insulin is hard.

I could probably whip it up myself, but I'm already stretched thin doing two biology projects that aren't paying me anything - and in fact are costing me (my nonprofit and a startup) and I make barely enough on some part-time contract coding work that I am really lucky to have landed through roommate-nepotism.

As to why I'm not really that excited about helping the Open Insulin Project any further: I've become kind of wary about prevailing attitudes in the tech-to-bio transition field that basically takes an exploitative attitude following the Postdocapalypse... There's this investor class expectation that they can hire frustrated grad students and postdocs for cheap. I think this is true, but they better watch out, in 99% of cases they are going to get what they are paying for.

I've decided to quit impostor syndrome and accept that I am kind of a biochemistry badass (I redesigned an enzyme and made it 4x better on my first shot based on first principles), and that if anyone wants my expertise they have to pay $$ for it. The other week an ALS advocate showed me a drug candidate structure and I correctly identified the mechanism of action without knowing much about the target. I've never been terribly excited about bringing the marginal cost of scientific labor closer to zero, and the OIP is basically that.

But good luck to them.
If not ads what do you want? Paywalls? Native content? Personally I want a robust and diverse web ecosystem, not just pay walls and people forced to alternative revenue sources.

Hi, could you tell me more about why you found it to be a to-do list app? Is it because of our headline[1]? Or is it because the examples we use on the landing page?

I'm asking because we don't see it as a to-do list app, as it can accomplish more and in different ways than traditional to-do list apps. Maybe we failed at delivering this message.

Home burglary is far from dead. I can look out my front window and see two houses burglarized in the last five years or so, and the neighborhood listserve regularly mentions attempts. The rate may have diminished over the last few decades, since the days when Denver precincts used to keep the burglaries in one ledger, everything else in another.

It's hard to miss a burglary, but a white collar crime, cleverly done, can escape notice indefinitely.

The recent UK law providing an exception to copyright for text and data mining gives Elsevier the right to require that access is only through the API provided they do make them accessible without "unreasonable" restrictions. I think that's perfectly fair, and they don't need an "excuse". See:

Right, so your own beliefs on the topic are quite different than Ali's, and rather than elaborate why her views are relevant to the question at hand, you've switched to professing your own views.
