It takes a lot of discipline and time to write very high quality notes and to study. I spent more time thinking about things and experimenting with ideas and writing notes than I did in lectures or tutorials or labs.
These petitions are almost always met with a boilerplate response. There was a recent one (which I can't find as the site's currently down) regarding Russian interference in the last UK election, with the government response being along the lines of "we don't know what you're talking about, move on". More on that here:

While the huge number of signings on this petition obviously does reflect _something_, I'm not sure it's actually doing anything meaningful. Likewise the upcoming march this weekend for a Peoples Vote:

https://www.peoples-vote.uk/march

These are now simply ignored. The sheer stubbornness of Theresa May's position as evidenced by her statement last night means we're going to go to the wire on something that's been worked on for years. People calling it a national disgrace are absolutely correct.

I can only hope that the pressure exerted from various angles (petition, march, sane MPs) will result in Parliament revoking Article 50, but I don't see it happening. It would be too prudent for this parody of a political system.

I would disagree with you on the benefits of taking notes in higher maths. If I'm taking notes, I can barely follow what is going on in the lecture. If I don't take notes I can fully concentrate on the lecture and logic, but then I have nothing to study/reference. Teachers should provide notes so you don't have to do it yourself, especially if they're just writing off a sheet of paper. They're usually just worried that people then won't show up for class.

I'm sure history is maybe different where the note taking is probably easy enough and reinforces what you learned, but with math you're not exactly comprehending everything you write down at the same speed as human language. When you're in high school: "The storming of the Bastille happened in..." is different than scribbling down the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and wondering WTH is on your paper.
The JEDI RFP history can be found here[1], including Oracle's protest[2] circa Aug 2018--essentially 40 pages of legal whining about prejudice because they can't possibly deliver on a single award IDIQ but still want a "fair opportunity" to parasitically leech off of it...and the lawyer firm filing the protest wants a fat paycheck.

I believe that people should be responsible for what they do, not for what other people do. That is the key difference between the traditional media and platforms - traditional newspapers are under your control, written by your employees, you are able to read all the articles before you publish them etc. A platform is something you create for other people to use it. If we accept that platforms should be responsible for what their users do, where do we draw the line? If I slander you over the phone, should phone company be responsible for it? Using your argument, they made money on that slanderous call so they should be, is that right?
I don't think the Art 13 legislation will last in its current form. But whatever form it does take, if your country was "independent", I wouldn't be surprised if it signed up to harmonize anyway as part of a trade deal.

Your real enemy is globalization and modern conveniences of globally cheap goods, and globally high quality goods being available for you to purchase and manufacture and export. The alternatives are somewhere on a sliding scale between Norway / Switzerland to North Korea. The closer you are geographically to Europe, the more you'd need to be like North Korea to maintain the kind of independence you think you want, because the game theoretics of inter-nation competition demand that competitors follow international rules.
Just worked for me. It's clearly intermittent.
The rice is already seasoned with sugar and salt (quite a lot of it, actually). Also, the flavour of the rice is enhanced dramatically by the air between the rice kernels. Part of the art of nigiri sushi is making sure that you squeeze it enough that it sticks together, but not enough that the air is forced out. If the fish has not been seasoned, it's usual to dip it in soy sauce (by turning the sushi over and just dipping one end in it), but frequently the fish (especially edomae style) is already seasoned, so you need very little soy sauce if any at all. The sushi should already have the correct amount of wasabi on it and frequently the person serving you will ask you how much you like wasabi so that they can judge the correct amount.

History <> Math at all. I'm an electrical engineer (pretty good at math as that's all you do for 4 years in college), but can process a history lecture much much faster and easier. Outlines are great for History (I agree), but this isn't as easy for Math. A single equation can need more explanation than a novel.

When this stage of leaving is complete and discussion turns to the future relationship, I expect the EU will replace article 50 with something fit for purpose.

Article 50 itself is very short and doesn’t explain any ifs and buts of the process. The courts had to interpret it a few times to determine things like how revocation works, how can extensions happen, etc.

Well this is a double edge sword. EU still produces something like 20% of the global GDP and if a company can ignore such a market than let it be.

Picasso inspired canvas fingerprinting for fraud detection
If Microsoft can make the Mac version perform as well as the Windows version, this is good news for Apple users. Apple's current attempt at antiviral software seems to be "prevent infection by making it tough to run malware" combined with a very simple signature based system.

This approach works for people who k ow not to click strange links, but as long as people give their life savings away to scammers pretending to be the IRS or Microsoft, people will just open random software from the Internet as long as someone is telling them how to open the relevant executables. Linux is much the same way (are there even antivirus products for Linux other than ClamAV?) despite half the Internet running on mostly-unprotected Linux servers.

However, due to the lack of signatures available on macOS viruses, I do wonder how effective MS Defender will be. There's various interpreters and shells available by default which make it easy to write an obfuscated virus script for OSX (python, Ruby, bash, and so on) which is not as relevant ik the Windows world.

To the people who complain about "bloatware" being forced onto their machine: you're just as likely to get infected by a virus as the other techie people in your company running Windows or Linux. How can you blame your boss for wanting to prevent getting hacked? Apple's own AV is just not up to the task.
Well that's how this whole thing started, minus the internet part..
I dont either. As long as you limit what you download to open source and block ads (which were the main way I ever gog malware) you should mostly be safe. On Windows I leave only the default antivirus from Microsoft at least it will catch some stuff.

Also with stuff like Steam and only downloading major games I should be fine. Most of my owned games atm are pretty old.

The problem is that the new law punishes the platform for hosting the content even when they didn't know they were hosting it. This creates a chilling effect, as they will need to review and block preventatively any dubious content.

Previously it was enough that they removed the content when they were notified about it; this didn't create such huge chilling effect for most content.

"Tell us how you really feel," asked no one, ever, but it's a free country so--

Yet another way to draw us away from actual connection with a painfully and joyously real world outside.

Better to long to just once, enumerate and follow the subsurface scatter of light on the face of your beloved than to coo and preen over mere mechanism.

A dying culture turns away from whats out there. Rolls over and wishes to slumber in dreams where everything is controlled and safe. Hence, the computer.

I finally figured out what I hate about CGI the most: the animated figures convey no dismay at the weight of their bodies. It's how that dismay is coped with that injects grace into movement. The princess here looks nice enough until she moves. Then it becomes clear there is no soul within the frame that first suffers the pain of an ungainly body coping with gravity, then masters itself, and resolves to move as best it/she can anyway.

That is beauty: the acceptance of limits. The carrying on despite them. You can see this in real people when they walk.

Until the entire inner world is modeled, these constructions have less life that a good puppet. A puppet at least telegraphs the spark of life from the hand and soul that control it's strings. That spark is constant, microsecond communication and feedback.

Stop trying to create simulacrums. Live the life you've been given.

Hey, that's my tweet!

At the time it went down, I was seeing 2k signups a minute and rising. I was just thinking how the load handling was impressive when poof it was down.

Back now, though, which is also pretty good. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/241584

UPDATE: It's down again. 502 bad gateway. I was seeing close to 3k signups a minute when it fell over this time.

UPDATE 2: Seems to be back? Clearly unstable though with these load levels.
> As if the average modern day student is going to do this.

This is the problem.

Yes I dozed off in lectures too but only when I knew the material already (preparation - another modern day student failing!) or had a heavy night or a starchy breakfast.

Like I said I'm fairly experienced with LaTeX. I've used it for technical documentation for 20 years.

Picking an example, I did an EE degree. I sat there and watched a hundred students scribbling out a lecturer's slide with basic function laplace transforms in it. The lecturer moved on leaving 99 people with half a table of transforms. Me, I'm sitting there with <<laplace basic transform table>>. I took this home, reviewed notes and added a reference to my textbook which contained it, added a sticky note to the book page sticking out of the side. Then I spent some time playing with them and trying them out and building valuable real understanding.

Now I've completely forgotten what you even use a laplace transform for 20 years later but I can find out in 10 minutes with that textbook and my notes which I still have in a concise manor.
I was wondering the same thing. Unfortunately I will have to wait on the coffee till I get to the office heh.
It was a proper referendum, not very comparable to easily game-able internet poll.
The Brexiteers had won when they successfully framed Brexit as "the will of the 17M". Remainers didn't counter-frame this with "50M didn't vote for Brexit".

Therefor all the marches, petitions etc. are always/can be ignored in the context of "but the will of the 17M".

"Don't Think of an Elephant!" is now such an old book, and still a lot of people haven't read it. Brexiteers have read it it seems.
> I was using s small British provider, and almost by accident discovered at some point in time that emails I sent to gmail addresses in the prior 2 months had been marked as spam, unless they were a reply something sent to me (so it wasn’t true that everything got lost - only stuff I originated).

Same here. Perhaps I should switch to a larger provider too.
> as said elsewhere, article 13 is probably all good news for YouTube

This part is not clear to me. On one hand they are big enough to prevent copyrighted material being published. They could also offer filtering services to smaller parties.

But on the other hand, YouTube is still full of copyrighted material. You can find basically any videoclip, cd-rip, or anything else on there. There are even entire movie rips on there, that regularly get deleted.
Do they currently pay some big license owner a fee for this? I don't think so (but I'm not sure).

So if this article 13 passes, YouTube will have to remove all of this material. Not only that, but they have to prevent such material being published in the first place. Or somehow make sure that a certain videoclip/cd-rip is payed off to the proper license owner.

I'm not sure if it's even possible for YouTube to make such a filter, without having either a lot of false negatives or positives.
Petitions for Brexit are completely pointless.

We already know half the country wants to leave and half wants to stay, so unless that petition has more than 33 million signatures then it doesn't prove much does it.

(FYI: I voted remain and think Brexit is completely dumb, but it doesn't change how pointless petitions are for subjects where it's well established what people's opinions are)

Looks like Google will have to keep the 5bn "fines for stupid things we do to EU citizens and companies" line on their budget for years to come.

I don't think this will fly when the relevant authorities finds out (a nice mix of protecting local business and punishing an annoying company that have ignored the rules too many times).

And frankly I think that is great!

Hoping Google will sooner or later return to their roots as Internet superhero.

Meanwhile get ready for more fines, I'm especially looking forward to the almost-destroying-browser-competition-on-desktop fine that I've been waiting for a while. : )
She didn't have a real product. The whole company promoted something that didn't exist, and was most probably technically unable to exist. Inside, they used the products of other companies, but even that wasn't reliable under the technical limitations that she imposed as the main "success" of the company.

The actual diagnoses to actual humans were therefore often completely fake. The product was fake. The technological solution she claimed the company had didn't exist, and very probably it can't exist. And the financial and success claims about the company were also fake. The very thing that was apparently responsible for the success of the company just didn't exist, and even the scale of the apparent success was a lie.
