You are absolutely right. Scientists are the only ones to blame for this. It's true, as someone else replied to you, that scientists tend to chose journals based on their reputations but it's also true that nothing prevents a sc

yes, perhaps Apple is doing the right thing for the wrong reason. I also think so. However, it's still the right thing and therefore i support them. Even EFF supports them.

This is the second time that HC is calling for a workgroup on encryption. In December, she proposed a Manhattan-like project. Pair this with the fact Obama recently spoke at SXSW. My question is: what do they want to achieve? Do they really

Portugal has 22 statutory leave days; Germany has 20; France (whose productivity is actually very high) 25. Being efficient does not mean being always at work - actually quite the opposite

self-driving cars will have cameras and sensors all over them. I expect them to act as vigilantes by alerting police of reckless behaviour.

It won't be just insurance prices. With self driving cars, you will not need to own a car. Self driving cabs are the future.

I agree with you in principle but let me make a cheeky comment: Average speed of a motor vehicle in London is 8.98 mph ( http://www.itv.com/news/london/update/2012-11-19/tfl-average... ) so way lower tha

They did not spend $40M to develop it. The development came from tax-payer money given to their lab at UNC through classical funding streams. Sequoia put in $40M to make a business out of it, which is a very different goal.

you can certainly do it as DIYer but to ameliorate it and commercialize it you are going to deal with patenting. SLA patents just recently started to expire and this has already created an explosion of new developments. see here for instanc

I am just a bit sad that this is going to be a commercial venture protected by Intellectual Property. IP is the reason why filament extrusion is so widespread and cheap for DIYers compared to SLA.

The problem is that they do not choose for themselves, they choose for their children and they endanger the life of their children on the first place. If a child had pneumonia, would you agree that is their parents right to choose to treat

Good news then. It means all it takes to bypass this is an iptables rule on a openwrt router.

I am PI and Lecturer at top 10 World University and this is the advice I give to my students: don't focus too much on the project; chances are that in 3-4 years you'll move on and work on something completely different anyway. The

It's not all of Imperial. Faculty of Medicine is always the one that gets on the news for this kind of bullying.

Just trying to see your perspective, here: the LHC costed $15B of tax payer money; the NIH invests ~$30B every year in medical research. Do you also think those are example of how to waste money?
