Yes, I have also known one person to be avoid taxes, which IMHO is just as bad as claiming. The thing about tax avoidance is it's possible to be 'respectable' and still get away with it - 'my accountant deals with all t

I know most people here are fairly well-paid, intelligent and many are well-adjusted and stable. But it'd be mistake to assume this happens to other people. Sometimes a series of unfortunate events (lost job, lost child, lost marriag

I don't believe you don't care about what you think. You must have preferences and thoughts about decisions. Sure you may have a low opinion of your own thoughts, but bouncing these ideas off other people and listening to rebutt

In my Cambridge college there is one 'dean' (not the same as the Master or Mistress of the college - who is essentially the figure-head of the college) - who is responsible for the students welfare. Any member of staff formally a

Can anyone point to countries which are not going down this same route? In my head Europe is doing better with protecting privacy, but maybe that's just an impression. Canada? Not Australia. Japan?

Here is a nice figure on cancer survival changes from 1971 to 2011[1]. The writer is correct that not all of this improvement is down to newer drugs - a lot of it is down to better 'supportive' management - recognising side effec

I guess it depends when people get afflicted. If you spend your adult life all day playing a slot-machines or a dopamine-enriching computer game, you are unlikely to be starting a family anytime soon, and so it won't be your children

It's difficult to generalise his work, so this is a reasonable summary. He seems to write about subjects he thinks are important to society - covering topics such as copyright, DRM. I'd agree that with others here that he is an e

Hang on... The ozone layer is now recovering decades after a ban on CFCs. Maybe it would just be simpler to ban man made production of CO2? Technology will find a way round I suppose, and it means we can ditch taxes, subsidies etc... win&

So many answers here already - but simply: 1. Very fast natural light shutter speeds (i.e. beyond 1/8000th second), whereas most leaf shutters might hit 1/500th or greater. He talks about some very expensive lenses that can go to

It was meant to be embargoed til today, but the news came out earlier than expected. Sounds like people have been working round the clock since the discovery to patch this.

Surely he is talking about the Win/Mac/Linux kernel patches? Would seem bizarre for all the work to go on the kernels when Intel had some firmware patches up their sleeve? Also I thought Spectre is something that is unlikely to

I agree with the sentiment that there is something you can do about it, but Sweden has a road fatality rate of 2.8/100'000/year. I live in the UK where we have a road fatality rate of 2.9/100'000/year. On aver

Speed limits are not speed targets. In the UK most b-roads are 'national' speed limit (i.e. 60mph or 70mph). It is expected that the driver selects the appropriate speed for the conditions, visibility, road etc etc. Of course, we

I'm hoping one day we'll look back on car driving as something as horrendous as gladiatorial entertainment in Rome. In the UK we have 1 child killed and 37 seriously injured every week.

You also need them to be an HLA match as well as being on the bone marrow transplant register.

Yes. Though an allogeneic (from another person) bone marrow transplant is a high risk procedure. Some will say up to a 30% treatment related mortality. You can cure Sickle cell disease as well with a transplant. Generally it isn't d

I think you're misplacing the blame here. Researchers need to publish in high impact journals, or they lose their funding. Some funding already comes with the requirement to publish open access. https://intranet.birmingham.

I liked this article. A clear question, simple experiment and simple answer. Those milliwatt draws though seem a bit high, and this was for pre skylake. I'd like to know how Windows compares, and I expect it still does better.
