A lot of great discoveries started from anecdotes.

(Or put in in another way: why don't we measure if the number of deers in Germany hair correlates with weather in Australia? Because they are even no anecdotes it does, or wild guesses why it might.)

Sure, a lot of self-reported self-tinkering may be qualified more like high-risk fun. Yet, people performing experiments on their own is not a new story.
I'm not making any assumptions mate. You said, multiple times, that you deny doing anything but what you absolutely must. Clearly just out of principle. That falls right into that stereotype. And that's behaviour I find disgusting regardless of your "freedoms".
Frustration comes from how slow and opaque research in this area is. I think their warning is very appropriate and timely. Having said that, I think a lot of benefit can be had from transparent research.
It matters a lot for many distributions, as it means we can strip a huge binary blob from the source packages. There's nothing PREVENTING Fedora from building this way, but it's a lot easier to get the package through review if it can be bootstrapped with a binary once and then previous packages can build it.
I strongly disagree.

How would you know if your vote would count for anything? If the people voted OUT and the government ignored it who's to say what other votes they will ignore.

This has been debated to death, 99% of politicians agree that the vote is cast, let's move on.
What makes you think that? The vote was met with such shock that it has re-raised the prospect of Scottish independence, and caused calls for referendums on Ireland, and has triggered the start of a small movement for independence for London (yes, most of the people who signed the change.org petition probably did it as a joke/out of anger, but there are groups organising more serious endeavours), and the signals all over the place is drastic increased devolution for London to placate anger here.

More than 4 million people signed a petition for a new referendum

On top of that we now know that most of the promises from the leave camp were flat out lies, and they've basically been shown to not have the faintest idea what they want to achieve.

I'm sure some would switch and vote leave out of spite, but frankly I don't think the vote was fair or democratic to begin with - it presented a false choice, in that "leave" could campaign on anything under the sun, with contradicting ideas about what leaving actually meant, and we see now the problems that causes: Did the 52% want EEA membership? Did they want full on isolationism? Something in between? We don't know. And we don't know how the results would be if they had to pick a specific option, but it is highly unlikely that they'd be unchanged.

From that blog post:

And then, finally, the main question: what role does doubt and fear play in our lives if its eradication actually causes so many improvements? Do we make more ethical decisions when we listen to our inner voices of self-doubt or when we’re freed from them? If we all wore these caps, would the world be a better place?

That's a really interesting thought. Not so much "would the world be better", as there is a presumption present in that question that more rational decision making is necessarily better, but if tDCS works similar to how it did with her with other people, we might have a way to study rational decision making in groups in interesting ways.

Most fast food restaurants serve their normal lunch/dinner menu all day, with restricted breakfast hours. Some also have breakfast all day, but this is notable. (Some don't even have a breakfast menu at all.)

The restaurants that have all day breakfast but not all-day lunch/dinner menus tend to be (usually, chain) sit-down restaurants, not fast food (or even fast-casual) restaurants.

Sounds like they're well on their way. An excerpt:

You might ask in what way do the libraries mark or describe their precious material so that a second part, for example an auction house, has a possibility to identify rare books originating from a library? Up to now the only public registers of library books have been the library catalogues. The purpose of a library catalogue is firstly to register which books or other documents the library has in its possession and secondly to make those documents accessible. This means that the descriptions of the books in library catalogues are very often very modest. Many library catalogues are simply short title catalogues which in a practical manner make it possible to verify and locate the books on the shelves. On the other hand, an auction catalogue does not normally reveal traces which could connect a particular copy of a book with a certain library. The intention behind auction catalogues is to promote a sale and this means that the characteristics mentioned are designed to make a particular book attractive for a collector or an investigator, which is the reason why those aspects of the history of the volume which deal with rarity or value are very often emphasized. An owner mark or a certain name or a stamp which could mean a lot for a librarian with respect to the provenance of the book would often not be mentioned or only described in lapidary style: unidentified name, or provenance: “From a gentleman’s property.” This makes it quite difficult for a library to identify a particular missing book as that particular copy which has been stolen from the library. In searching for stolen books details of author, title etc. are not particularly useful for the police. When you report to a police officer the theft of a rare book, his first question will be: What does it look like? What should we look for? In such cases the librarian will most likely not be able to give any sensible answer. The solving of the thefts from the seventies and the new digital technology made it possible for us to create a new instrument, Royal Identification Marks. It is a picture gallery of characteristic bindings, stamps, owner-marks and shelf marks in the Royal Library which makes it possible to link a particular book with the library.

And Royal Identification Marks:

> in the sense that she controls 50% + 1 of the votes

Well there's the issue, a lot of these companies distort their ownership structures with multiple classes of shares in order to get around the usual 1 share, 1 vote scheme.

So does the moral principle of ownership resulting in control still apply when they may technically "own" very little?
It's why I dumped Sirius a while back. When it started, Sirius had really good quality. IIRC, I'd put it up there with CDs. As they added more and more, the quality just kept going down and down. Between the nosedive in quality and the increasing number of ads on non-music channels, I didn't see $12/month in value. IOW, satellite radio went through the exact same cycle as cable TV.

By this argument we'd only hold elections once, and move on.

A central aspect of a democracy is that people are allowed to change their mind, and that people are allowed to continue to campaign for a decision to be overturned.

So no, we won't move on. Even after a Brexit we won't move on - some of us will fight to rejoin, some of us will work for independence (for my part, I've offered to help one of the groups starting to work for independence for London).

But this is not over, even it if takes breaking the UK apart to finish it.

Surface points on the equator rotate at about 1000 mph, while, relative to the surface, clouds move at a few percent of that; at a global scale, the clouds aren't going to move that much over the course of three and a half hours.

The moon is tidally locked to the earth and thus only rotates at about one revolution per month (about 27.3 days relative to the stars and about 29.5 days relative to the sun and to the DSCOVR satellite at the Earth-Sun L1 point which took these pictures);

Again, rotation that slow isn't going to be obvious in a time lapse covering only three and a half hours (if I'm doing the math correctly I'd expect under 2 degrees of rotation during the period covered by this timelapse)

If you are playing for the long haul, limit orders do not matter. Place a buy once per month for 1/12th of your commitment, and forget about it.

For fees sure - see what fees are lowest for you (ETF vs Mutual fund). Last time I did the math for me, mutual funds ended up giving me more money in my pocket at the end of 10 years, because of no trading fees. I think if you reach a certain point in 1 purchase (100k??) ETF wins. Maybe the optimal strategy is to use a mutal fund, then when that fund hits 100k - sell it all off and put in an ETF for a lower yearly fee. Have not done the math when the exact right place to do this is, would be curious. But I know if you are doing small 400-2000 buys per month, ETF fees add up as a % of the price.

For other references on ETF downsides see http://www.investopedia.com/articles/mutualfund/07/etf_downs...
As far as I understand it, nobody is immediately removing UK investigators from existing, already awarded projects. Those are going on as planned (I'm part of one myself). I'm not sure it would even be possible to do so under the research programme's rules. What's happening is that people who are just now putting together new groups of investigators in order to send an application into the next funding call are thinking twice about including UK partners in their applications, because it seems like a potential risk to the project.

In general a partner dropping out of a project partway through is very disruptive, so you like to avoid it. You want partners who will still be there for at least 4 years from now: 1 year for the application preparation/review, plus 3 years for the project if the application is successful. Many people are not sure if that will be true of UK partners; can you say, today, that the UK will still be part of the EU funding mechanisms through 2020? I think there's a good chance they will be, even if they leave the EU (they will probably end up joining the research framework a la carte, like Norway, Iceland, and Switzerland have). But I could forgive people for considering it a risk they'd rather avoid.

The next question is economics: Are there enough customers that a company could import the plants and be able to offer them for a price the customers want to pay and that gives them enough profit to make it worthwhile?

I assume you mean that in the absolute sense, but one also has to realize that "cannot be measured" can also be a measure of our ability to measure things. So you certainly can have real effects that we're simply not able to measure.

And so in that sense, I'm not sure the premise follows, as some of the things we cannot measure are things like the conditions of the early universe, which certainly did effect[1] us.
