I believe you are talking about Michaláková. She lost parental rights because she talked to press. http://zpravy.idnes.cz/norsko-michalakova-soud-0w5-/domaci.a...

There are a few thousands such cases, mostly in east-european countries. It is recommended not to bring your family to Norway, if you find job there.

Norway has zero transparency when it comes to children rights. Some governments (Slovak, Czech, Romania) recommend not to travel there with children. EDIT: Some explanations. - In Norway social services (Barnevernet) can take children from

I would argue it was first space flight guidance computer. Technically nazis V1 had analog guidance computer and traveled in space. The same with all later ballistic missiles etc. Early soviet manned space flights (Vostok, Voschod) were

Multiple storages. One in startup, second on Dropbox, one local, another one in AWS Glacier. This way startup failure does not affect users.

Sounds like a good idea for startup. Archive someones social media, if they require it. Perhaps browser plugin which archives all visited pages with some filtering.

Is it a bad thing? I imagine most results from such data will not have direct benefit for users (advertisement, profiling, persecution).

GitLab looks very tempting, congrats to their team. Question: I would like to migrate from Github to Gitlab, but can not really move. Is there some bridge, which would mirror Github repos (with Issue tracker and pull requests) on Gitlab?

Blood tests, to get second opinion. GP disagreed with patient suggestion, and had loundry list of treatments to try first (including shrink and accupuncture). Three months is reasonable number if you have no GP (have to register first), bad

Yes, but in UK you have to go through GP for everything. It can take months before seeing specialist for trivial stuff.

My friend had diabetes, her GP could not even diagnose that from basic symptoms, several visits and blood test. I strongly recommend to anyone with 'mysterious' long term illness to visit doctor in other country.

There is something similar in Greece, people can not pay their share for filling up common heating oil tank. Lot of houses are not heated in winter (sometimes bellow freezing with snow). It is not question of trust, but poverty. People are

How about thousands of people who died at sea? OSF paints EU as paradise on earth, to drive people into sea. If OSF wants more immigrants in EU, they should buy flight tickets, and sponsor visa applications.

I am not sure XPS is a business laptop. For enterprise there is Latitude line, with more ports and higher price tag. But I am not sure the price is worth it. XPS is very good. http://www.dell.com/learn/us/en/8

Decompression on byte[] is 3x faster with unsafe. I think modern JVMs are far from optimal.

Using sun.misc.Unsafe to access array elements would make it much faster. Also ArrayList with preset size is faster for inserting elements.

Maybe it is better, politics is now more open and problems can be recognized faster. In 1850s British government did not notice, that millions were dying in Great Famine.

I know GP who could not diagnose diabetes from basic symptoms and blood tests, and send patient to acupuncture.

I think mods should add (2013) into title. 12 hours a day is not uncommon. Even in EU and public sector, for example doctors in some eastern countries have to work this way. Anyway, my point is: this study should not be miss represented.
