Why not criticise the article, rather than the website?

Doesn't your link infringe copyright? 'Sci-Hub is a website with over 62 million academic papers and articles available for direct download.[2] It bypasses publisher paywalls by allowing access through educational institution prox

There is a considerable body of work around spatial interpolation, which, putting all the surrounding tech to one side, seems to me to be the critical methodological issue in this work. Getting valid results out of spatial interpolation, i.

This is a puff piece for a very short story published the day before on the same website. Also I've noticed a trend amongst female American authors to use profanity in a way that I haven't observed elsewhere. Is this an attempt to

Good news for the US. Also I keep seeing more and more about Singapore these days - seems like a good place to be.

What amazes me is how craven our politicians are to these companies. For god's sake, just threaten them with complete withdrawal of their access to the UK market unless they comply! The public would back the government 100%. Other coun

The article isn't accessible so I cannot examine the methodology. Have you read it in full?

'“What they did is wrong, and we’re not going to stand for it,” Mr. Zuckerberg said.' I'm sure the FSB are quaking in their boots. I also think it's legitimate to point out firstly that the US has a long and distinguishe

The consolation is that the internet probably has far less influence on voters than Twitter etc. would have you think.

There's a danger some of this is intentional. Being remote can generate resentment in those without the perk, and efforts to level the score. You can only accept being told 'oh, we just happened to bump into each other and talk ab

Bit of a weird response from you there, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised as I'm getting down voted etc for merely describing industry best practice for handling this type of thing.

Qui bono? Is it too paranoid to think that leaks from Heathrow benefit Gatwick?

You would buy something purely on the strength of a demo? If so I hate to break it to you but there's often a lot of smoke and mirrors behind live demos, indeed if the demo jock is good enough you might not even know you are watching a

I very much doubt this is the case.

I want to believe this is true.

Have you any training or experience in demo skills? I worked in presales for several years. What I am describing is standard stuff for handling this type of situation. Downvotes for literally describing the way that you are taught on a demo

Poor demo skills. You could easily switch to slides for a moment while you do what you have to do and whilst some in the audience might notice it would certainly be more professional to keep the emphasis on the main message which doesn&#x27

We seem to punish extreme violence with a similarly light touch in the UK also, but speak out online about a protected group and you'll be in clink in short order.

Indeed, what a needless, senseless waste of a human life, and what a loathsome human being. It's scary to think he may have been walking around with this motivation inside of him for years. Fingers crossed they lock him up and throw aw

I've been suffering similar existential career dread recently. I'm 41 and it seems like the demands on me as a geo dev are getting ridiculous i.e. you must be a full stack developer in several stacks, know Windows and Linux, be an

This 'Russians did it' meme is becoming prevalent. Is there evidence or just rumour?

Well, I never thought I'd see police in an EU member state physically attacking their fellow citizens in an attempt to prevent them from voting FFS, but that doesn't change the fact it happened. If they were willing to go that f

The video I saw on the news was enough evidence for me. Are you saying that was faked? And in any case, as far as I'm concerned any level of violence is unacceptable. Madrid made itself look like a tin-pot dictatorship, which is partic

Indeed, there are plenty that say it's only a minority of Catalans that want independence. I have no idea. But I do think the idea of legitimacy is questionable - those against independence point to the constitution, but it's not

I guess Spain is hoping that power still comes from the barrel of a gun, judging by the violence employed on referendum day - but interested to see what the hell Spain thinks it can do if the whole of Catalonia goes on strike. I guess it&#x
