There is another huge difference, aside from the susceptibility to experiment of the two fields - in astronomy one studies an objective natural system, in the other one studies a subjective human-driven environment. The thing that troubles

Tell that to the Greeks! How "protected" did their money turn out to be?

This is just silly - here we have someone lecturing us about economics who describes herself as a "Rogue Economist" - so are we expected to buy this analysis because she is an orthodox economist (which is how it reads), or because

How is this a scam?

Nonsense. It's not clear from your comment whether you took the time to read the article, but Monbiot's point is that under the 2006 legislation anyone fighting for ANY "political, ideological, religious or racial motive&qu

This is the most witless piece I've read on Wired for a long time. The web is the lowest common denominator of content delivery, and is the foundation of many apps and most content - whether the content is delivered to a browser or an

I don't understand how the protestation that this is "standard practice" is supposed to help - in effect they seem to be saying "we abuse, degrade and humiliate anyone we detain, regardless of the level of perceived thre

I'm interested to know why it is "clearly" fake - I followed your link and understand the denials, but have no reason to believe them over any other account.

That $4B is about potential, not scale. Growing by 15% does not increase the value by 15%!

You do know that you're doing this backwards, don't you? <sheesh>

Can't help chuckling as I happily read this on an HP Chromebook 11 because I'm taking a break after the Windows machine died during Windows update. At least I have a machine to work on while I spend the next six hours reinstalling

Just so - but /pretending/ to have such a right of veto speaks volumes about their approach. It respects neither the letter not the spirit of the law, and it makes Canonical look thuggish and crass. If they want to protect their b

I fixed it by switching to Xubuntu - very happy with the desktop. From my PoV it's the best of Ubuntu but without the gimmicks.

He does say that it's off by default, so I don't think that your speculation about his thinking is warranted.

I have to say that visiting the US is out of the question to me because of stuff like this. I appreciate that the the chances of it happening to me are slim, but I'd be worried sick about it, and would find it hard to maintain my compo

Since the article is not about working out in general but CrossFit specifically, and not about restarting exercise after a break, and particularly since the takeaway of the article is that it is hard to recognise this syndrome, I'll ta

Perhaps not, but the context is that this dialogue is a response to Uber's response to the situation in Sweden, which is at best jarringly strident in tone. Dialogue that doesn't /start/ nuanced rarely becomes so half way through...

Given the utterly charmless nature of the response, I do hope that you can find a way to continue to support your users and hopefully annoy 9gag without exposing yourself to any risk. (I don't have a dog in this race, but I like your tone a

Can't anyone connected with this mess do anything other than make it worse? The response to each idiotic mis-step is an even bigger, and even more idiotic, mis-step. <sheesh>

The /most/ important part would seem to be "That is why DigitalRev was contacted" - because it seems that they were NOT contacted, but rather SoftLayer were. An obnoxious use of an obnoxious piece of legislation, followed by a smokescreen

More brand abuse here: http://secure-broker-online.eu/company The FSA, RBS and Wells Fargo might want to be aware of this, too.

I notice they're using eBay, AutoTrader and Gumtree logos. Don't know about the other two, but have known AutoTrader come down like a ton of bricks on muppets who abuse their brand - dob 'em in! (Although if they are as shady as they look,

You seem to be asking this question in a vacuum, which makes it impossible to address the costs and benefits of relational vs. alternative approaches with any context. What types of problem are you trying to solve? What alternatives to an R
