> Most researchers probably can't afford to pay an outside lab to duplicate their research.

Even if they could, we probably don't want the researchers paying for their results to be duplicated. This would create perverse incentives, similar to what happened with investment banks and credit rating agencies. If the original researchers must get their results confirmed in order to get published, and it is them who are paying for the confirmation, they will naturally tend to choose confirmatory labs that are more likely to confirm their findings. Since the labs would then rely on the researchers for funding, that would create pressure on the confirmatory labs to adapt their methodologies in ways that make it more likely that results get confirmed (even when the original study may not warrant it).

We want confirmatory labs to have no special interest in either confirming or disproving a particular study, but in improving the overall quality of research.

Since a journal's reputation depends (at least in part) on the quality of research it publishes, the journals would seem to be the natural candidates for the source of funding of confirmatory labs. Whether they'd actually be willing to do it another matter...

> 3.2 million of the non-UK born residents were born in the EU (16% of whom held British nationality, 83% held EU nationality and 1% held non-EU nationality).

> 5.4 million of the non-UK born residents were born outside of the EU (54% of whom held British nationality, 5% held EU nationality and 41% held non-EU nationality) – a reflection that EU nationals have the freedom of movement between EU countries, whereas for non-EU nationals there is an incentive to acquire British nationality.

I'm not sure where Independent is getting their numbers.
I see your point, however these humans are alive, thinking, using power you might say anyway. There is a nearly infinite task in improving our society and science, and we have strong evidence that humans become self destructive or just destructive when not actively engaged in something they enjoy doing.

This is a great line! But, it's not fair.

The inventing of invisible stuff is an attempt to fix the model. The current model is known to be wrong, because the experimental data isn't matching the model. We have evidence of motion we can't explain... ok, something must be causing it. Right?

Black holes and gravity are invisible things predicted by physics.

No, it is not. You pointed a false equivalence. Do for me the web search that points women struggling for the right to work in coal mining, be sent by hundred of thousands to war and things like that. This don't happen (and shouldn't!). We are animals, after all, and the biology demands from us (both woman and man) different things. If men could get pregnant, I could bet with you that this would be a good reason to have women into mining. Thanks god, we can't. It is a harder job than coal mining.
I played around with it and created an oval track, but the car isn't learning it very well. Every loop around it gets caught on this one part, but it has plenty of room.

All passports leaving the UK by official ports have been scanned by the UK Border Force for several years; at least five, from memory, and probably prior to their inception too.

They won't have a record if you departed in the dead of night from a small harbour using a yacht, but otherwise the database is fairly comprehensive. Even departures to outide the UK from my local flying-club airfield have UKBF in attendance ( I presume they charge for the 'service' ).

I recommend John Guttag's Intro to Computation and Programming Using Python to people interested in starting to code, as the accompanying video lectures are available on MIT OCW and the book itself is enjoyable to read. That book (+ the Django tutorial) might be a good way to get started before doing a boot camp.

As others have pointed out, there are other ways to learn the material, but it may be that the 'career day' activities, etc. are worth the price of tuition.

If you're 'resident' during the time you're absent the country, there's no way this cut-off will apply to you. While they haven't formulated it yet, it's pretty clear this applies to people who try to become residents after the cut-off date, not people who happen to land in the country afterwards.

Politics may be a bit screwy right now, but it's not insane, at least not yet in the UK, as much as people like to hyperbolise.

If you're currently living here, going abroad for a few weeks will be vanishingly unlikely to suddenly define you as no longer live here.

In JFK there 2 modes of going through the passport control : the old one involving an officer with a computer, fingerprints scanner and camera and the new, automated one that involves you interacting with a kiosk that prints some kind of voucher at the end. This voucher then is given to an officer who does not have a computer, but she usually asks a couple of extra questions. I used the new way, I like it. So perhaps she didn't know anything :-)
> I used to have a lot of respect for the BBC, Financial Times, and The Independent. Even The Guardian being partisan had the basic decency of putting things in perspective of the opposing side.

A family watches the local news while awaiting their grandfather's arrival at Sunday dinner. The lead story is about a person causing chaos driving the wrong way on the highway. They quickly realize that the person is on the same highway that their grandfather usually takes to their house and call their grandfather to warn him.

"Grandpa, there's a person going the wrong way on the highway! Be careful!"

"_A_ person?" the grandfather replies angrily. "There's hundreds of 'em!"
Totally agree with you there, but player position criticality is not for me or you to decide, it's game dependant, my worries is not about dropped packets, but packets that are in the wrong order, only in a game where combat has to be precise I would say it's critical.

Yeah you don't need to be a AAA for sure, i was exaggerating a bit to make my point, what i'm trying to say is that newcomers to gamedev will end up struggling, TCP isn't easy, neither is UDP, without proper understanding of both protocols there will surely be mistakes made.

I do agree with the article 100%, I'm not saying in that use case that TCP is better, I'm just disagreeing with the premise as it's a bit vague and implies that you know what agar.io and slither.io are, I know both games and i know they're realtime, but there are people out there who don't know what they are, so I'm saying that just thinking that UDP is faster than TCP so it's best for networked games is naive, a better way to say it is just mentioning that this is for realtime games, better yet realtime games that can't allow network delays and are not critical, WOW for example uses TCP for some parts of the game that are not critical, where player position doesn't really affect the game, they end up with huge latency now and then, but the game is programmed in a way that some latency won't matter. in other cases they use UDP, that's also one of my reasons to say that UDP is not the only answer.

So yes, you are 100% right, and the article is 100% right, I just don't like the premise (the way it was written at least)

It obviously doesn't interact with ordinary matter very much, or else it would have been observed non-gravitationally by now. It could interact a little bit, though. Consider neutrinos: they almost don't interact with ordinary matter at all, but they can be observed with enough patience and care, and they are definitely real.

Neutrinos were actually an early candidate for dark matter. The numbers didn't work out, but it's an example of something that would interact weakly.

And sure, dark matter is falsifiable. If observations are made where gravity appears to deviate from what's visible and can't be explained by adding invisible mass, that would falsify it. Or if someone finally comes up with a change to the known laws of physics which explains the observations better than dark matter does, that would do it.

Remember, nothing is truly "directly observed." All we can do to observe stuff is to see how it affects other stuff. Whether it's with photons or with gravity, it's all ultimately indirect.
In the text, it is fine to say "fastest" because there is a context, but in the title, "fastest" means above everything else in the world because the context has not been established yet to readers. If you read news with "fastest" in the title (e.g. fastest CPU or fastest compiler), it really means the fastest in the world at the time of publication.

The author could just say "very fast" or "faster than common hash table libraries" in the title. The current title, IMHO, undermines the quality of the post (which is actually good).
It's a very simple instruction set. Whatever the challenges are with asyc design and verification, the task will be simplified with a smaller/simpler processor design. The open source nature of it also means any company or researcher is free to do what they want with it. Design tool companies for example could create that alternative workflow for async and promote it by saying "look at the results we got on RISC-V" and make all the comparisons they want. They could also release the design if they wanted. It's hard to see any of that happening with something like ARM or x86.
Honestly, you can't blame the BBC for that subheadline... blame the readership.

Billy bookcases are great if you use them right. Best to get the narrow models and fix them next to each other with carefully placed wood screws.

This makes super rigid and durable shelves for heavy books and the shelves never noticeably sag because the span is so short. You can also customize the heights of the shelves with fine granularity.

The only other bookshelf system I use is the "Hungarian Bookshelf" (https://www.instructables.com/id/Hungarian-Shelves/). You basically make this yourself with wood. Excellent for the basement.
> actually include some dark matter

They include some non-luminous matter, but only require 1/5th to 1/10th as much as would be required by Dark Matter theories. So I think saying they require 'Dark Matter' is confusing. They don't really require a new class of matter and could easily be explained by the presence of some amount of non-luminous baryonic matter in some cases which hardly seems outrageous.
> Is there some meaningful distinction here that means false allegations about an organization of humans should go unrefuted, but false allegations about a single human should be refuted?

To me, false allegations against individuals are more serious than false allegations against organizations for a few reasons. First, I care about the well-being of organizations only to the extent they positively impact the well-being of humans (or, to a lesser extent, animals). Second, a single false allegation against an individual human seems to be able to have a much more damaging effect than one against an organization.

I suspect this is a well-worn topic and that I would consider many of the other objections to corporate personhood to be "meaningful distinctions".

Perhaps where your from it is, but the corporate news media in the USA just literally burned all of their remaining credibility backing the wrong horse in the presidential election. They cheated for her, outright lied for her, and covered for her failings. The people here saw it, and the ones not watching through rose colored glasses now rightly now distrust the media even more than before.

To say "hating journalists and their work has become the last unifying cause" and attempting to paint journalists as the victim is disingenuous at best. They made their bed, now they're mad that they have to lie in it.

which I also find as a little bit crazy.

Otherwise I find the project quite interesting. I quite like to lose (too much time) on GStreetView, and at the same time I developed an interest in 20-30-40-year old cars, so I wrote a small Chrome extension that allows me to locally save images of old cars that I find on my country's roads while "taking a walk" on GStreetView, along with the relevant info (lat-lng, address, and the make and model of the cars which I input by hand using said extension). I had also noticed that there's a distinct correlation between a city's economic status and the cars you can find on its streets, and I was wondering how hard would it be to do the car "recognition" using some AI-thing and try to draw some conclusions from that. Glad that someone actually did it.
The most scary aspect is that if I know everything about you, I can frame you for a crime for which you will have no alibi, or threaten to in exchange for you doing what I ask.

The second was a tactic often used by the Stasi to create more operatives - call someone in for questioning, accuse them of a crime for which they have no alibi, such as spying, and when they protest their innocence, ask them to help the government with something to show their good faith. That something could easily be to provide a pretext for arresting the real target.

As a British guy in Finland I can say that the reason many people moved to the UK was because of the perception of easy work, easy integration, and good practices.

Those things might exist in other countries, I don't know of them personally, but I do know that moving to Finland is non-trivial. The language is hard, and unless you speak it you've only got unskilled jobs to find - with high competition. Gaining residency pretty much necessitates having a job too, which makes it all a bit circular.

I'm settled here for the foreseeable future, although I have to wait another couple of years before I qualify for citizenship.

Net migration, if you discount returning British citizens it currently sits at around 200,000 a year (500,000 gross), so it would be an approximate 20% reduction in non-British immigration.

Or a 30% increase in emigration, but I doubt they're aiming for that.
