My understanding is that he's working from home? I dont really see how this could work out if you are not working from home and your partner works as well. A simple example would be that you wake up at five, go to work at 8 and then come ba

I was under the impression that credit companies relied on the insanely big number of possible combinations in order to protect them selves. You can surely create a billion "valid" credit card numbers but the probability of a portion of the

Please dont forget to mention that an official review will be ordered in order to satisfy the regulators that the transition from 11 to 10 will not affect civil liberties.

I was answering to the "Correlation is not causation" statement in the comment. Epidemiological studies usually have to satisfy most of the "Bradford Hill" criteria in order to claim a certain association. More information: http://www.drab

I do not think they are considered retro. Interventional studies are widely considered the "golden" standard but they are not perfect and, in many cases, not feasible. Like you point out, in many cases, it would not be ethical to perform on

There are statistical ways to ensure that the results obtained from a study are both a) not due to chance and b) statistically significant to be applicable to larger sample sizes. Hopefully, both were applied and evaluated during the peer r

I am happy for them. Apple is a company that puts design and user experience at the front and they get rewarded for it. I see their revenue as generated by genuine consumer appreciation compared to the generic ad revenue that other companie

We actually use Pegasus mail at work for our departmental email (very large university, London). Despite the fact that for the majority of users it works just fine and there is no need for something more complicated - apart from the archaic

Reminds me of those posts where people create a project on one of those outsourcing/freelancing sites like "I want an eBay clone" and people reply "Sure, no problem, 2 days - 50USD"

I know. What I meant was a service where you put your delicious username and it automatically fetches all your data and merges them into one big dataset. Something to keep the data aggregated and then re-launch.

I would prefer "Please Google, buy delicious for some amount and run it as-is." They would get so much love.

Couldn't we do a service where delicious users can export all their bookmarks (bar private ones if they want) and then send them onto a aggregator so a new service can pick up where delicious left. I am assuming here that technically delici

I don't get it - Yahoo is shutting down a service where humans are obsessively tagging a shitload of handpicked URL from the abyss that is the internet these days and they cannot figure out a way to keep this alive? Am I missing something h

He created it in 2004. The only thing FB received during 2010 was criticism about the way they handle data.

Ironic if you think of how much Facebook has been criticised this year with regards to its privacy settings and data governance tactics.

But surely that does not stop the US from charging him and issuing their own warrant - something much easier to do if he's already in custody.

Can somebody with some legal background explain to be the benefits of him giving himself in to justice in the UK? I am apparently naive and cannot fathom why he would choose to do this when he knows that there is a strong chance of him bein

Ernesto, I also like TF, dont get me wrong, I do read it and enjoy it every day. As you say, you do have your view on certain things. My feeling is that that extreme view, in many cases, makes me wonder the actual facts. Maybe 'untrustworth

It all sounds absolutely reasonable (and dare I say pleasant) but how well does something like this scale? I am thinking Heathrow with 5 terminals with, I guess, 10 different entrances each where people arrive from.
