Plagiarism is not the same as copyright infringement. "Plagiarism" is not a legal thing: it's not a crime codified in law and doesn't appear in laws [1]. Instead, usually it's a violation of some internal code, e.g.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but this "mind virus" is the original definition of the word "meme" (before it got adopted to mean a particular kind of image-based online joke). See https://en.

Take a better look at example 5: [1]. In that case, the `@nest` marker is necessary for proposal 1. Proposal 2 is saying, if we need @nest some times, why not always make it required, for consistency. In that example, I'd say proposal

I think the idea is that you can choose a very long and complex password, because you won't have to enter it so often once you enable TouchID. Without TouchID, most people are tempted to choose passwords that are easy and quick to type

By the way, as someone who has published academic papers, if you're ever bothered about a paper or have some comments, don't hesitate to mail the authors. (Their e-mail addresses are always on the paper; especially target the firs

Usually, (at least in my specific niche of the computer science field,) if the code is published it's only published after the paper has been reviewed. This is partly to preserve anonymity during the review process, and also because us

There is something strange going on with the numbers in the article. People worked 20% less, but electricity costs fell by 23% and the "number of printed pages" fell by 60%? Scrolling through the Google Translated version of the o

Do you have a source (or more than one :) ) for that first statement? I believe it intuitively but would like to know if it's actually true.

I still don't understand. And I mean this genuinely. Except for Guy Verhofstadt, I haven't heard any politician talk about creating a single country out of the EU for years. I'm pretty sure most EU politicians have shelved th

In Belgium changing your official address is actually a three-step process: 1. You notify your new local council of the change of address. 2. A police officer visits your new home to check whether you actually live there. 3. Your official a

You also need to account for student debt. In most EU countries, students do not need to go in debt to pay for university. So in the US, how much of those first salaries goes to paying back that debt? (It won't account for the complete

It'd be interesting to see more countries added, and not just UK, France, Italy, and Greece. The UK is different in that it is no longer in the EU and never was in the Eurozone. Italy and Greece suffered badly from the Eurocrisis. What
