I can't speak for the UK market, but in the US, public radio is biased left. I'm biased right, so it annoys me, but I love the stuff that isn't political, like Click'n'Clack (did that come back or is it being rebroadcast?).

Commercial Radio has a non-government business benefactor, and so they cover what is of interest to them. Public Radio has government as it's benefactor, and so they cover their interests. Now it's not necessarily blatant, but whoever pays your bills, you have a self interest in seeing them in a positive light. If you are unable to do so, I'm sure you would move on to someone who you can see in a positive light. Bit of selection bias going on there, which is another slant maker.

I am fine with NPR, for example, having a bias to the left, but I wish they would stop pretending they didn't. Recognizing self bias is incredibly difficult, so it's not surprising when people don't see their own. This difficulty is as old as the bible (cf Matthew 7:3), and probably as old as thinking (I haven't read Plato or Aristotle but I would be surprised if they didn't talk about it.)

I have the same problem with Fox news, and really all the major news networks pretending to be unbiased, stating opinions as fact. I cut the cord a long time ago.

The more certain you are that you understand something, the less likely you are to examine it in depth. Do yourself a favor today, pick one of your beliefs, and take some time to examine why you believe it. Seek out some opposing positions, see if there is something to learn from them.

Do your best to find something other than "common sense" as the basis for believing what you believe.
While I understand the sentiment and frustration, a few corrections and comments:

1. This is not radical new law, but has been in place for a year; it's only now that Roskomnadzor has elected to address this particular VPN service. This doesn't change the shock of server seizure, but it also has been clear that this was a long time coming, or should have been for the VPN provider.

2. In regards to the comment on the US, I'm sure they'll pay attention, but not in the way you're thinking. Remember, even though the US has no blanket policy for ISPs and other service providers, they do frequently issue warrants for the data already stored by ISPs and service providers. [1,2,3] Compliance for these usually isn't an option, nor do many businesses have the resources to fight the government successfully.

3. Even before government snoop acts and projects, ISPs and companies based in the US (and outside) have been willingly handing over customer data as a matter of business.

Government snooping likely won't "kill tech", rather, it will kill very specific privacy oriented tech. This is indeed bad, and I am not sure how to ensure that my plainness of statement does not understate the severity, but provisions such as what Russia and the EU have will not be the deathknell for technology in the United States, or even across the globe, any more than what the US has already done with it's snooping and spying.

In short, if tech can still pull money after the NSA revelations, it's likely able to survive more foreign regulations.

Waste heat can help keep the batteries warm. For example, Teslas have a battery heater which really eats power when you start out in the cold, but after you're cruising it reaches a steady state. Range still suffers, but at that point it's cabin heating and air resistance. Assuming the batteries are in the wings, you'll probably have voids between the batteries and the skin (since batteries don't have very a aerodynamic shape) which could be insulated without too much of a weight penalty.

Battery weight is a huge problem, of course. A Tesla battery pack is 1200 pounds. That's more than many light airplanes weigh total! The motor and inverter are only about 350 pounds, by comparison.
Hold up there dude. I was mostly joking, and if other people are willing to do a job cheaper that isn't a bad thing. I encourage it.

Large Multinationals like Unilever, even for incremental decisions - like changing the type of light bulb, takes years to execute. This is why a large change in their business is so difficult and you need a very good CEO ( ask Marissa Mayer )

The decision UK made to leave the EU is akin for Unilever to switch from selling shampoos to selling software - and we are not talking about a multinational with 100,000 employees. We are talking about an entire country.

The UK -> EU export is 40% but even the rest of the 60% happens through EU treaties with other non-EU countries.

Not only will the EU trade treaty need to be renegotiated, but so does the 50 other trade treaty with other nations - those treaties took a lot of time and over 600+ negotiators to write, the UK only have 30 negotiators and about 2 years.

A reworking of the economy usually results is a lot of unemployment and retraining. Imagine if the C standard library made a small change in some function. Retraining means public investment or as the austerity people put it - deficit spending - not sure how much appetite the UK govt has to do something like that.

Regardless of how much people hate on Java and Oracle - if they suddenly disappeared it would be chaos and lose of GDP for many years before we retool our software on Python/Go etc.

Also there is uncertainty - usually the horizon for bringing new laws into action are declared ahead of time by 4-5 years to give people/businesses time to plan.

I'll address this one, see also vostok's comment below. I know plenty of former engineers and other super-smart technical people who wrote software for years but left because they hit the salary ceiling. They would go BACK to software engineering in a heartbeat if there was a compensation trajectory that matched their current jobs.

I think one could engineer CGI to get many of the same benefits - I'm not entirely sure most people did. First, you'd want to run each process in a separate jail, as a separate user - and yet be able to (easily) use fifo's or pipes (possibly sockets) to pipe data through.

At that point, you're already a bit from ephemeral data in /tmp and your typical php/perl/cgi setup.

But I think you're right in that it borrows some of the good ideas from CGI (chief among them simplicity, assuming that you were doing stateless stuff).

Why? He made Mega (and then left it, according to the article), which is better than the original in several ways. The name's nicer too, and has a wonderfully short URL. You'd think he'd just go back to the company, or start a different company that doesn't directly compete with one which he almost certainly partially owns.

Edit: he says that NZ seized his shares in Mega. If that's true, it would make sense... but he doesn't have the Mega brand now.

Is Theresa May and the conservative government against investing in Science?

It seems to me that most of this is is just knee-jerking, and it's likely that there are quite a few people who will work to ensure that things continue to work as they should.

Edit: That University Ranking chart posted earlier says it all really. The US and UK dominate the charts - you don't see EU universities until page two. This is just a few people cutting their noses off to spite their face.

I just finished an EU funded CompSci Masters degree in Wales, the poorest country in the UK and it's devastatingly sad to think that once the EU research funding stops, those opportunities will be gone forever for future students coming through the department.

There aren't enough large tech companies in the area for there to be any sponsored degrees available, which probably means that when the funding finishes, the research will start to dry up and the interesting researchers will leave with it. Take away the research and what's left is a department of third-rate lecturers. That's not an inspiring way to learn.

Will the NHS get some of the £350m? Maybe, maybe not. It's likely to be up for discussion. Will the post-Brexit government allot research funding for CS departments in North Wales? Not a chance.
If there is one deal that can be negotiated successfully, then it's probably to continue existing science cooperation. Still, as a researcher myself, I'd also be wary about participating UK institutions in a Horizon2020 project right now, until more details have been negotiated and Article 50 has been triggered. Nobody knows for sure now what's going to happen, and the administrative burdens are already high enough as is.

I used to live in Malden, and IIRC Framingham and the other suburbs were pretty diverse. That's what I was basing my comment on.

Of course, my personal bubble could have skewed this -- looking it up it seems like Malden is more diverse than Framingham, but Framingham seems to still be close enough to the overall distribution in the US. Not the same of course.

> The study isn't "wrong" of course, it clearly states what data it is based on and what methods they employed. If there's anything wrong it's the interpretation by others. This is merely a hint "maybe worth having a closer look at this"

Right, that's all I'm really talking about -- the paper is very responsible about possible bias, and tries to correct it (as you said, that's not completely possible), very far from "I can't believe this got published" territory as the original commenter was mentioning.

If the underlying code behind the neural network is open source, and a user has rights to access their own data, then doesn't that comply in every meaningful way? Considering that Facebook has already embraced open source AI and Google has given users near complete control in viewing and purging their history, I think that these companies are already gearing up for compliance.

It's super annoying but it has to do with misunderstandings and mispronunciations finding their way into common language. Another terrible one is "I could care less" vs "I couldn't care less." Both mean the same thing in the common language, but if I hear someone say the "could" version, they lose a lot of respect in my eyes.

Languages evolve, and mostly it irritates me. I hate that the English Dictionaries used to be an authoritative source, and are now just a reflection of common usage.

Yet at the same time I recognize the need for languages to evolve as life does not stand still.

Better yet, design the battery so that air forms one side of the chemical reaction, with waste products that can be dumped overboard. Oh, wait!

I think, that meaning can be only defined in the case, when one is immortal. If I'm mortal, everything I do, good or bad, is meaningless for consciousness, because it will cease to exist and everything that will happen after death will have no effect on it.

Any meaning, that's is defined while one is mortal is no more than illusion, in which people immerse themselves for whatever reason.
Thanks for the reference. For end-users, they claim that their app will work on multiple devices whereas Google Authenticator only works on one. That would be a big advantage - I'm worried about losing my phone even with backup codes in my wallet. Worst case situation is that I'm robbed and have to hand over phone and wallet!

Also, I'm not aware of Google Authenticator being updated. Which makes me concerned that it's not a priority for Google and might be end-of-lifed.

It appears to me that Dependency CI is focused on dependency metadata, focusing on the state/version/license/etc the dependency declares.

Debian's CI focuses on actual run-time testing, specifically what it calls "as-installed" testing (as opposed to build-time testing). You don't test a specific build result, but whatever is installed in $PATH, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and so on.

Because the tested objects also use the as-installed dependencies -- libraries, modules, etc. -- whenever one of the dependencies changes, the dependents can automatically be re-tested for compatibility.
I'd wager you can setup a scanner and more than a year of storage for <$100. The total volume of the setup would be a very small cube that would just need to be attached to an antenna.

There is really no excuse not to be doing it at this point. Especially when third parties are proven unreliable.
Not sure how much rigorous examination this kind of connection can really hold up using modern science, tools, resources, etc, but as far as intuition goes, this seems like a natural fit.

In graduate school, I did work through some published educational experiments that, in short, concluded having music time in the average school week was an improvement in nearly all other study fields, and particularly pronounced in Math of all things. Even compared to an alternate test group with extra Math time, the Music group did better than that one. The control group got neither and showed no improvement, if I remember it correctly.

The relationships between long-form, technical musical proficiency and abstract, logical thinking should be complimentary I think. Lots of the same mental pathways I'd imagine. One guy I knew from finance - a real genius in the synthetics / derivatives arena - had originally gone to University on a full-ride music scholarship. Jazz saxophone and piano I think. After having an, um, trippy experience, he discovered a new-found love of Math and switched majors almost immediately, with great success. Anecdote, sure, but that's how we can make connections for such obtuse notions.
Another stupid idea: use aircraft catapults[1] to reduce the onboard energy requirements. Takeoff seems to be the most energy demanding stage of the flight.

Obviously a drawback is that existing airfields' or airports' runways would have to be retrofitted, but if the fuel and maintenance savings were enough, it might make sense.

Frankly I hope that that regulation never happens. It sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me. The biggest reason I became a programmer, besides the fact that I really enjoy programming, is that there was no one to tell me I couldn't become one. Growing up I wanted to be all sorts of things only to find out there were entrenched gatekeepers and a multitude of of barriers to each profession. For whatever reason jumping through other people's hoops (even if their existence is totally justifiable) had no appeal to me. I shudder to think of a world where kids like me grow up and find out that programming has just as many licensing requirements and regulations as everything else they might want to be. Had that been the case I probably would have ended up just working a boring retail job or something.

I think the thing that a lot of hackers don't understand is unintended consequences. It's fine when you're hacking a computer game, and the worst case scenario is that the game malfunctions. Things like overclocking a PC, or re-tuning a car, have more tangible consequences, but those consequences ultimately mean that the hacker will damage an easily replaceable commodity.

I don't think so. It's just about the uncertainty. In many frameworks you need partner institutions from three or more EU countries. If you can replace a UK institution from one form another country, you can get certainty back and potentially greatly simplify future administration. That unfortunately makes a lot of sense.

"...fiscal and banking mismanagement in Greece/Italy/Spain/Portugual are destroying German and British wealth"

Source?
Through induction, you can also say that your sibling is your nilth (0th) cousin, and your identical twin is your negative-first cousin. That makes aunt or uncle a nilth cousin once removed, and a great aunt or great uncle a nilth cousin twice removed. Your parents are negative-first cousins once removed.

If this sounds ridiculous, that's because it is, as a natural consequence of the ridiculous nomenclature.

It would be far less confusing to just insert an unordered pair of numbers for both individuals' genetic distance from their common ancestor. So instead of a first cousin once removed, you would have a (2,3)-cousin. Identical twins would be (0,0), parents would be (0,1), ordinary siblings (1,1), aunts and uncles (1,2), and so on. A fourth cousin would be (5,5).

But that doesn't account for half-siblings, so it would be inadequate for some family relationships.
