I thought so at first as well, he seemed curious but kind of prying, so I asked whether the questions were necessary. He answered politely but sternly that yes, yes they were. After that, it was a bit awkward and stiff but still quite polite. It all just seemed very strange, I've never been questioned like that before.

Once I got to the states however, the only problem I had was that lines were long. The CBP officer handling me and letting me in to the country was very nice and polite, and after the usual "business/pleasure?" and "how long are you staying?" questions etc. I was let in to the country with no issue.

I've been going through Dublin myself for years, and I can highly recommend it: In worst case, you'll be told to leave the terminal, but you won't go into a holding cell - and yes, officers there are much more friendly than their counterparts in the US (I guess they are all infected by the Irish hospitality).
The PR industry has engaged in FUD and disinformation campaigns since the 50s, far before the advent of the internet. Business and other establishment interests have attempted to control the media for much longer. Journalists that didn't fit the mold just wouldn't get hired by any newspaper, and as a result the media has always had enormous blind spots.

The loss of many editorial boards is regrettable, but in exchange we have gotten access to news from all over the world. Desperate fighting for clicks conflicts with journalistic values, but newspapers have always depended on advertisement income. The newspapers of old didn't dare offend their advertising patrons.

Major news organizations in every country should be funded by the public, just like we fund the other checks and balances in society like the courts system and law enforcement.
Obviously it's not sufficient evidence for dark matter. But I'm pretty sure that more often than not predictions of unobserved phenomena based on theories with great predictive power and mathematical elegance, turned out to be correct. Although sometimes, like with the neutrino, things turn out to be slightly different than expected.

In my opinion Verlinde's theory is a better candidate as a replacement of dark matter, since it doesn't require changing the theory of gravity as drastically as MOND does. That said, his theory does require a combination of general relativity with quantum physics, which is tricky. Compared to both just adding a bit of dark (not necessarily invisible) matter is a lot simpler.
Forget all the tooling. There are two battles:

1. To write the best book you possibly can

2. To print, market and sell that book

Far and away the most important thing is No. 1, because No. 2 cannot happen effectively without that. And the bar is high - very high. So in many ways the battle is lost or won by the time you've put down your pen. Yes marketing and distribution are incredibly important. Design too. But none of it is going to do much good unless the book really works. And making a book work is not hit and miss. It's the product of a very exact type of knowledge and skill - this is especially true of genre work. Of course, there have been a few tremendous exceptions - but you'll know if you're one of those.

So with self-publishing, as with ordinary publishing: first write a great book.

For that the tools you need are:

1. Someone who can give you tough feedback and who knows what they're talking about

2. A writing group for softer, more regular feedback

3. Long practice in writing shorter work

4. Long practice in critical reading of other people's work, especially unpublished work. You'll never make a mistake once you see that mistake and understand it in someone else's work.
Define "rush". There perhaps might be a small uptick in people who were considering it, had plans in place and would now accelerate those plans, but are we so arrogant as a nation that we think EU citizens who have had the option to come here for years would now think, as we're about to say "fk you" to our closest neighbours and embark on years of uncertainty, will suddenly uproot their lives to come here?

I have friends and loved ones who moved here from the countries mentioned who contribute to this country infinitely more than a large number of native Brits. No one ever really talks about the human side of all of this.
The UK Prime Minister has said that she actually wants EU citizens to remain in the UK post-Brexit, but it is dependent on similar rights being granted to UK citizens in EU countries. It's not a decision wholly up to the UK.

Haha, well it's a book about Internet marketing (we wanted to create a practical step-by-step guide that read like a programming tutorial), so we've tried hundreds of things over the years and know what works. We made a promise to use only the things in the book to sell it.

We ended up changing the marketing messaging to "the ultimate growth hacking guide" from "a step-by-step guide to user acquisition" because that performed 200% better in our A/B tests, and I'm still a little bitter about that, but the money soothes my bitterness. So that was important.

Our biggest winners tactics-wise were sharing the first couple chapters on Medium and cheating a little bit, doing the same on Reddit, with a link that said "if you want more like this pre-order the book," and we worked Twitter pretty well and did a few guest speaking engagements, but no silver bullets, just a lot of lead ones.

Except that electrical/magnetic forces are vastly more powerful than gravitational forces. Any such force that's noticeable at the cosmic scale would be powerful enough at the object scale (star, planet, even galaxy) to tear them apart or cause them to collapse.

Lets suppose the Earth and the Sun were both positively charged sufficiently that their repulsive force was enough to noticeably affect the orbit of the Earth. For that to be true, the repulsive forces due to the positive charge on earth itself would have to be so great that it would blast the planet to fragments.

I'm British living in another EU country, with my non-EU spouse and British son. Who knows how my situation will resolve itself. This article holds out some olive branch of the offer of EU citizenship for people in my situation.

However, let's play the hypothetical situation that I am forced to leave due to negotiation breakdowns or whatever. I return to the UK, right? Unfortunately, my wife can't join me until I already earn above about a £22k threshold (additional for child). It isn't that I don't believe I can earn that amount, it is the elapsed time and enforced separation. Maybe it takes me a couple of months to find a job, it will then probably take several months for my wife's Visa application to be processed (she's already randomly had one visitor visa application denied, which we appealed against and won, but it was a 12 month process). And what's her status in our current EU country of residence if I have returned to the UK?

It's all a big old mess for those of us exercising our EU treaty rights.

Suppose you are on the verge of completing a major sale to some large, nervous purchaser -- perhaps a major world military. This is a decent-sized but not huge sale: $2 billion, with profits of around $200 million. The other major competitor for this contract is built around Linux and your offering relies on a custom operating system.

Your head of sales thinks that the the purchasing agent seems particularly concerned about security issues with the operating system -- keeps asking questions like "So, can you document that your system is less vulnerable than some 'open source' system?". The head of sales makes a rough guess that a news story about vulnerabilities in Linux might sway the chance of winning the contract by around 5%.

So: that's $10 million in value to your company that might created by generating publicity about the vulnerability of Git so long as that publicity is generated at the right moment in time. What's the chance that 1% of that can be "found" to make it happen?

The thing is: $110,000 is actually a very SMALL amount of money, relative to the amounts of money that many influential people manage on a daily basis. The use doesn't have to be very practical for it to be well worth it.
The problem isn't really about influent academics traveling to Europe or USA. Their problems will be solved soon and generate some indignant news articles. To quote the article:

"This incident caused me some discomfort, difficult to deny. However, I can not help but think of all those who suffer these humiliations and legal violence without the protections I have been able to enjoy."
Hmm. In this example the flaws listed are "we don't know there's a correlation between death by suicide and being gay" -- but we do know that, and we have good evidence for it.

In this particular example the linked blog post is not saying "hey, this study is flawed", but is saying "I hate gay people and I don't want them to think that their sham marriage is in anyway equivalent to my real marriage". It's pretty clear that the linked post is only trying to find flaw with this study because they disagree with it; if you presented something with exactly the same flaws but showing A implies NotB they'd be praising it as good quality science that supports their point.

EDIT: a quote from the linked post:

>> Think about what the authors are implying: that the mere presence of gmarriage — government-defined marriage, as opposed to marriage defined by reality — stops teens from reporting suicide attempts.

>> This is among all teens, mind you, and not just the minority reporting same-sex attraction or other non-biologically oriented sexual desires. The authors claim the effect was greater in the sexual minority.

The author is clearly, unambiguously, a bigot looking to smear a study. He's not engaged in honest science.

> It was difficult to find a shop selling better furniture than Ikea, except for the designer furniture stores in the centre of Copenhagen -- and I'm not ready to spend over 5000kr on a concrete-topped table.

Same in the US. The options are: Ikea, Ikea knockoffs that're worse but somehow more expensive, tacky, bulky furniture that's poorly made and ~2x Ikea's prices, and then the high end that starts around 5x the price of Ikea, minimum, and goes up from there.

The semi-disposable nature of Ikea kinda fits modern US housing construction, anyway. It's odd to have a table that'll last 200+ years in a house that's gonna need significant cosmetic replacements (nothing's real solid wood so repairs/refinishes are right out) in 10-15 years, major renovation in 20-30 years, and will likely be torn down in 60 or fewer.
Maybe the US is different, but I've been commuting on my bike, on public roads in a major city, for literally two decades.

Admittedly I've had a few accidents over the years, but none that drew blood (as far as I remember), and certainly not yearly.

In this case, the false allegations were spread with the implicit goal of getting the government to spend more money/resources fixing problems that may not exist. If successful, that would result in a huge amount of waste, which harms real humans.

Even if it were a private organization, such allegations could directly result in harm to the human owners. For example, false allegations about bad food at a restaurant would mean the human owners and employees lose money. In much the same way, false allegations about a human might result in them losing their job.
And with one fell swoop, the thesis went pop
Oil is a globally-traded commodity. Saudi Arabia is 13% of global production, and without that, prices would increase markedly as the marginal alternatives are vastly higher-cost (think $120/bbl rather than the current $50/bbl).

So, while the US may not burn Saudi oil directly, it is absolutely dependent economically on Saudi Arabia supplying a critical share of global oil.

More significantly, as the global surplus producer, Saudi Arabia took over the role the US had played from 1930 - 1971 in setting and establishing global oil prices. The result hasn't been quite so, ahem, well-oiled as the TRO's production quota and certificates of clearance (US Dept. of Interior), but it's been the one handle on extraction volumes, and hence, price, that's been available.
The dark matter hypothesis may not actually be falsifiable, however that is not what physicists are working on. Physicists work on dark matter models, precisely defined theories which incorporate dark matter and these are falsifiable. For example roughly ten years ago models of weakly interacting particles (that is, particles that interact via the weak force) were very popular, but they have a influence on the abundance on nucleons in the early universe. Turning the argument around, one gets a interaction probability of the particles, and that part of the parameter space was excluded a few years ago. (You can of course try to mask the signal, but then you are generating different models, the original very simple models were falsified.)
I think I can't quite follow your argument. Did you mean that the Guardian is trying to demand funding from someone, and they think they'll get this through this story somehow ? Would you mind explaining ?

> No doubt, mistakes happen in large bureaucracies but the story is usually slanted as some evil agency trying to destroy certain 'marginalised' sections of society. Whereas the truth is probably nothing like that.

The truth is that as an individual, especially one from a marginalized section of society, you are up against a powerful bureaucracy that has the ability to completely screw up your life, by mistake or not. So we as a society depend on holding these bureaucracies to very high standards.

It is also true that in any large bureaucracy, mistakes inevitably happen from time to time. One would wish for a leadership of said bureaucracy to handle these mistakes with integrity and from a position of confidence. By, for example, contacting this women directly, quietly resolving this issue and then adding this problem to the yearly statistics to prove you run a good ship. Who knows, this woman might have written a blog post singing your praises, after you resolved her problem for her. Certainly the better PR strategy.

If, on the other hand, you resolve to attacking your clients in public, violating their privacy rights in the process, then maybe you're too close to running an evil, rather than a responsible agency.

Gosh .. I eh .. I guess I was just given this RFC to implement [0] I'm not sure of the reasoning specifically for doing it this way.

But kind of related to your point, TTLS does in fact use the "cryptographic material" derived as part of session establishment to derive a shared secret for hashing in CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP-v2! [1] The nifty thing about that is it "binds" the ensuing authentication process to the actual TLS session. With MS-CHAP-v2 it also provides for mutual authentication without either party ever having to exchange sensitive info (neither client nor server ever has to know the password).

This was actually a real pain to do with Open SSL as that information wasn't readily available with the standard API. I had to implement some horrific cludge to get the necessary info nested within 3 layers of structs.

I do believe that all this information is recorded somewhere. I very much doubt those records are in an accessible and queryable form that would allow the government to tell how long someone was a legal resident in the uk, and even more doubtful is them actually trying.

More likely everyone will have to prove their right to residence, and the border database will not be available to us.
