You call it 'arm-twisting', I call it 'a necessary counter-power that should be part of every patent-related legislation'.

Source? Also, "socialized medicine" does not entail getting rid of the private sector, just regulating it. For instance, my GP runs a private practice, the only limitation is that she cannot set the price of an appointment. And

Please tell that to academic journals, especially when the published material was paid for by taxes.

Okay, I realize that complaining about pricing makes little sense, but $150/month for the "full" course, with the free option labelled as a simple "textbook"? That changes the mooc positionning somewhat. In my case

It should be noted that France had a nice, Papert-style "programming" curriculum centered on Logo in the eighties. Specific computers (hey, it's France) were developed, such as the Thomson TO7. And then... Nothing.

It's high time that we get user-controlled sandboxes that could enforce additional security restrictions and are application-transparent. If a third party app requires access (R/W) to my Google Drive files, I should be able to lim

Just curious -- how much of the book is based on blog content and how much is new?

I guess there is something to this, as right now all EHR information ends up processed by human beings in the end (?) so there is no need for an overly complicated "type system". Still, a schema for prescription drugs would bring

Popcorn time really filled a void; how is hiphop different from say, grooveshark or deezer?

To me it feels more like a kind of Vala for Cocoa.

France never passed such a law... But we did pass a 35 hour work-week law though.

Adding to my previous comment: the French health "insurance" is a bit of a misnomer. It is as much an insurance as a wealth redistribution mechanism, and the "premiums" are not a function of your health risks but of your

Okay, I live in France, the quintessential socialized health-care system. The wait at hospitals is short, I can choose my doctor as I please, and an appointment costs me all of 23 euro. I have nothing against the health insurance being gove

I wonder if the Lavabit author would be amenable to e.g. a kickstarted with the goals of - open-sourcing lavabit - making it ready for instant deployment e.g. using Docker A kind of "just add a VPS" platform...

This would go down so much better if the conclusions were released by the investigator, in her own words...

Funny, I was just looking at Google Apps Script with the idea of making an add-on for Documents. The tool looks brilliant. It supports many Google services (from fusion tables to Gmail to...), provices simple sharing with anyone and proper

The dating website where only women can start a conversation has been tried with success (AdopteUnMec in France). I like the MTurk for cryptocurrency idea.

Didn't get the "A european resident has their first kiss" though. Wouldn't it make more sense to divide the frequency by two and state "Two european residents have their first kiss"?
