Open, but not immediately, I believe. Journals have an embargo period of 1-3 years, and after that you can put the accepted paper on a free repository. Your manuscript can usually be posted for free as soon as you want.

In Spain, where the system is similar to what you described (staff for the day is chosen at random from all citizens in that voting district, and similar to jury duty), some professionals (doctors, nurses, air controllers, etc.) can decline

I remember that I had a Synaptics driver on my old XPS laptop that allowed to customize three-fingers actions, so probably should be doable in other environments!

Tangential: it always annoys me how difficult it is to highlight text in a Google blog post and look it up. Drag doesn't work and right click clears the selection. My only working approach is highlight and hit menu key.

At least ThinkPads are described according to MIL specifications, not references to alleged witchcraft.

The currently implicit trade of personal and behavioral data for services such as Facebook, Google, etc. is IMHO a domain in urgent need of some regulation.

In Chrome the Youtube video that is used as alarm sound won't play until the tab is active, so if you are not looking at the browser and catch the tab flashing red, you won't notice.

You joke, but if you make the mistake of looking at a possible present in a non-incognito window, Amazon ads will now obnoxiously feature said present in all websites that you visit...

Curiously for me it's the opposite, I like very much the default Unity (14.04) font / anti-aliasing / rendering, I find it is much easier/pleasant to read that the default in Windows (Segoe UI?), bolder and "smoothe

It is shown in the video that the turnstile scans a QR code presented in the screen of the app. So if that's the only interaction (no idea!) it seems that the phone could be replaced by an NFC card or similar "dumb" device.

It's interesting that they talk abut a supported smartphone. If it was just computer vision looking at what you grab you would only need a printed card with the QR that the folk in the video uses to check-in. So, probably there's

So, theories? RFID labels at the exit, computer vision to track which items you grab? Any of this coupled with tracking phone location? The fact that they speak about "supported phones" would point to some radio / location st

Not only that, they ask for your work email address. I'm only using InfluxDB for my home dashboard (raspi, some sensors, etc.) so I just went with "sales@influxdb.com" instead.

You can just fill the sphere with tritium gas and coat it with phosphorescent paint. Radioactive decay will emit electrons that will impinge in the paint, generating light. Or, you can just buy a keychain or a torch made using this principl

Now Dropbox tells you when others have the document open and so on, so it is easier. But still orders of magnitude worse than working with plain text files.

It's in human nature, to belong to a clan, and to leave a mark for future generations. Wikipedia success comes from exploiting both instincts: you belong to a great organization, you're doing a great service to humanity, you have

I also fell for this. The input field should probably be made more obvious (lighter background) because at first it looks like a cosmetic spacing rule.

One thing is to visibly edit a comment like they do in StackExchange. Impersonating a user is a very different thing.

And without an "edited" mark, which means that any comment of any user can be covertly modified by an admin. Very concerning since Reddit comments have provoked even Congress hearings: http://thehill.com/policy&#x2

This is correct. Every serious criminal won't use a VPN or other obvious crypto, because this paints a big target on your back signalling you want to hide something. A serious adversary will, as you say, use a pre-arranged innocent v
