Actually, is there a big list of London-based startups anywhere? There must be close to three figures, even if you only count the consumerish Web ones. There's umpty-billion hedge funds and financial technology houses.

Network analysis and data mining will claim their first major political scalp. That'll be a watershed moment: the politics of information are going to start being the kind of core liberal issue that environmental issues currently are.

A crystallographic paper is more or less just a structure determination in a common file format (CIF - the article talks about it). There's very little in the way of interpretation. As such, they're way easier to falsify than papers in even

A photo with your CV? That'd be totally weird. I've only ever needed one for security passes. Even my CRB/security check (temp summer job in a civil service typing pool) didn't need one except as proof of ID.

They're customers of ours and simonw (amongst others) works there. The Guardian are, by US terms, unrepentantly left-wing, but they're the finest unrepentantly left-wing newspaper in the world, bar none.

"The Thick of It." Primetime TV here, a massive ZfCC coronary if it ran in the States. They tried a pilot for a localised version once. Never gonna work.

Yeah, I get where you're coming from. I think this is rooted in a false dichotomy (edit: in the original author's post more than anywhere else), though. You could tidy up the typography of Reddit and it'd look nicer, be easier to read, and

Many people'd disagree with you about what clutter is, I suspect. Take a site like http://informationarchitects.jp/ . They're a firm who specialise in news design: unsurprisingly, their site uses rigid typographic hierarchy underpinned by

I've been kind of obsessed with WIPP for years. Even if you don't buy the reasoning, it's just... I used to work on science in this area: colleagues were working on Synroc, and I was working on theoretical techniques which you could apply t

You guys do an amazing and thankless job, and I'm sorry if I oversimplified that aspect of it. It's just difficult to see how to solve the problems you describe, let alone to explain those problems to a researcher you're trying to wean off

The scientists he's talking about are smart people, but aren't really into computers and (what's more) have no patience at all for the amount of pain it takes to compile the dependencies Python packages need. It's not the Python side of thi
