That's good to know. Thanks. Would be interesting to know the extent of the definitions here. If I am an academic in a non-related field, but am interested in the sociology of a terrorist group purely intellectually, I wonder if 3 b ii

I'm not in complete disagreement to your sentiment. I think this will be the case most of the time. There are plenty of singular cases where wording rather than spirit have been used to make examples though - mostly to the detriment of

Yeah, wow. That clause can be warped in far too many ways. "The defendant used the known terrorist network app Telegram to send encrypted information pertaining to local public transportation and multiple images of public landmarks to

Lunacy. Want your rival out of business? Spoof an email and get them to click on an untoward link. This burden of proof clause will no doubt be abused. What about researchers attempting to understand the mechanisms of extremism? Can you get

Hmmm. No, I have none of those issues. I sync via WebDAV, automatic sync & full-text content selected. My three computers all have different library paths. Having never set it up with Google Drive, I'm not sure of anything else tha

What cloud service are you attempting to connect to? I'm using my universities' box.com account - which generally has pretty appalling support (on linux at least). Zotero has managed this flawlessly.

I don't think the combative stance helps your argument at all. You know I didn't mean that. In answer to your question: certainly. First of all: the sample volume, total number of microwave lines and resulting cooling power have a

Agreed. Seems like the author had enough education on the subject to be able to form an opinion that sounds credible enough, but lacked the capability to hammer the point home. Sure, many of the points made are valid - work is still ongoing

A pretty embarrassing oversight! If the picture in this article is the mace, it's clear from the cuneiform that the 'object' would be upside down if it were in a vase orientation. Rarely ever do you start an impression from t

You are mistaken. Grid level battery storage cannot provide baseline power for days, and until that's a reality we will need a baseline power source that can supply when there is no sun, wind (or hydro, wave etc where available). Fusio

What country do you live in? I work at a climate research institute and have connections all over. I could perhaps put you in contact with a local research team. Sadly, I'd say that a lot of current research tools are pretty shoddy whe

Whilst I get the point about the community leadership being more autocratic than others, the Elm language itself has always been opinionated - thus it's difficult to empathise with the rest of the sentiment of this post. An 0.x release

Personally (and I don't think I'm alone in this), I find it quite difficult to read a codebase top to bottom to 'understand' it. Someone else's code, no matter how good it is written, is difficult to grok without co

For those of you not following Julia development: version 0.7 is effectively v1.0, the only expected major differences between the two is removal of depreciation warnings. In other words: if you've been worried about getting into the J

Both points you make are certainly valid. I'd say that Isso really targets low readership blogs that do just fine on a cheap unmanaged VPS instance though, so a high availability alternative isn't a requirement for that demographi

Yes, Isso [1] if you can self host. Whilst it doesn't track you like Disqus, it does have issues. For one you must have unsafe-eval in your CSP policy. That's something I'm not very fond of, so I've started to build an a

Thanks! This is what I was trying to get at, and provides a much better argument for VR-only and VR-first tools.

I partially disagree. Whilst I don't have VR goggles myself, and agree with you in that so far, I haven't seen a reason for the purchase at all. A tool like this for visualisations though, is a use case that I see as possibly bene

From the readme it looks like the visualisation is off to the side in a self contained box. What I'd really want to do is have walk/fly through capability to visualise projections of higher dimensional data. Is this possible with
