I really love the totally varied definitions in this thread. THIS pretty much sums up so much of CS.

Awesome. I wrote a thesis on protein structure prediction in 1995. We weren't very good at it then. Amazing to see this.

My ISP does not block any of the non-optional blocks either.. While I do use a VPN at times, it is never to get around blocks. Although I don't use my ISPs dns, so if that is how they're attempting to comply I wouldn't notice

I don't know. Virgin Media quote High Court orders saying they have to block several I tried, but my home ISP does not block any of them. These seems weird to me, that the court orders would cover a few specific ISPs, but I haven'

I travelled last week, and was horrified by how much is blocked by the mainstream ISPs in the UK. Afaik, my (London) ISP does not block anything. No idea why, as all the others quote high court orders.

No, because they're explicitly giving away all their funds, not passing it on to the next generation, nor leaving it in a permanent trust.

I'm pretty sure it does, actually. They just need a clear flow chart and then for people to not want to change it after the fact.

Interesting that microacquire was used. I struggle to take seriously a site that lists "Our team" as characters from Silicon Valley.

escrow.com is a licensed escrow operator. This is how it works, they don't get to just decide the outcome or they'll get shutdown during their audits. This is a good thing in transacting on the internet.

AZs is Uni of Oxford for development. AZ weren't even in the vaccination business before this. Obviously they can conduct the trials and organise the manufacturing though, but that was their role here.

Very strong selective pressure. Sickle cell has separately arisen in at least four populations in Africa and some in South East Asia.

It used to be common in southern Europe as well and was an absolute scourge in SEA until the 20th century.

Don't the patent holders want the creation / manipulation of patent encumbered videos? Unfortunately, of course, they then want to get paid during playback, but that's the reality for everyone already.

I think the other obvious worry is that people post well meaning answers on the job, but it turns out that their contract says their employer owns the copyright to all code they write on the job. They have no ownership over the copyright to

Sort of. Blatant infringement is typically punished worse by judges / legislation. You still can be fined, have injunctions bought against products etc without it being wilful. There have been a bunch of song examples of this, where so

The situation is worse than presented. The person posting the code to SO as an answer may not own the copyright to the code they're sharing, despite the SO TOS requiring them to. So even a link to SO isn't a total solution if lawy

As someone who wrote a thesis many moons ago about protein folding, this is pretty astonishing to see. Yay science.

wtf? it happens all the time. I've raised VC money based on emailed contracts, bought businesses based on them, bought domain names. It is incredibly standard and legal (in almost all of the jurisdictions I've worked in, which is

Interesting. So, Snort 3.0 uses Intel’s Hyperscan library, as per the article. Intel acquired this when they bought Sensory Networks, Inc. Guess what SN did before they moved to software? They made and sold hardware that essentially impleme

Without taking anything away from this, as a general rule, if you have physical access to the machine, it can almost definitely be compromised. The flaw here involves access to the GUI, which in most cases implies that they have physical ac

Woot. Thanks for pointing this out - I looked for a solution a while back and it seemed like I had to get a separate capture card to connect my Sony DSLR. Will go check this out now. (I ended up having to buy a little logitech webcam, which

It also varies very much country to country. The US subsidises corn, so has a surfeit of corn, so they feed a lot of corn to animals. This gives US animals a different profile to say, Australian grass fed animals (although obviously Austral

Lots of tricks are old. You've just got to think of and apply them in the right context. Most of the world's major breakthroughs are basically just this.
