You don't have to like Facebook to thank them, I'm not a fan of Facebook either but appreciate their sponsorship of something so fundamental to the web.

When I began studying Artificial Intelligence at University, the first few weeks was an overview of the different domains of study available, and evolutionary computation was the first that grabbed my complete attention when this video was

The BBC has had a definite right-bias over the past couple of years, their treatment of Corbyn has brought it to the forefront of many commentators, including the BBC's own Nick Robinson, who has recently started talking publicly about

I was using Groupwise in 2007 at a previous employer, and PGP was definitely easy to use with Groupwise. I worked in a MIS department for a large UK company, and the customer services department was in a small town in Wales, the kind of tow

If Apple introduces this, it will likely require scalability higher than that of the current blockchain, which allows for roughly seven transactions per second. Peer-to-peer is definitely the way forward, but for now, banks have the infrast

This was an idea originally from 4chan[1], it will be interesting to see if it passes approval. 1: http://i.imgur.com/t8w4fvCh.jpg

The section on interception is awful. * "Warranted interception is used only for intelligence purposes." * "Warranted interception is governed by RIPA." There is of-course, no mention of unwarranted interception. One mus

The lower-classes care about it now, and the middle classes are beginning to care more about it; and many of them don't care about the type of evidence you have mentioned. This is why left-wing politics is seeing a resurgence with Corb

You could use GitHub. You can link to other documents in the repository using relative paths, there's an editor that's decent, and you get versioning for free too (assuming it's a public repository.)

Any citations or reading that supports this? I've always thought that cannabis lends itself to a freer thinking, it's often associated with more liberal attitudes.

Even if the firehose was affordable for mere mortals, those mere mortals would still need the funds to receive potentially hundreds of thousands of tweets per second (peak)) – which is a lot of bandwidth, persistent storage, processing cycl

Yes, it's insecure and is based on complete trust of the author of the script and the hosting provider, but there's an easy workaround: Don't pipe to bash immediately. Download the file, inspect the contents and then if you&#

I'd still prefer a body with a good commit description, since review descriptions are not attached to the history. I've been thinking about this a little recently, the conversations that determine the direction of a product are no

Is it? It might seem like it's good guy Google, but Google is a company with shareholders and their mission objective (despite what they claim) is to maximise profit for their shareholders. They're the most powerful advertising ag

And the same goes for Hoffman. He's partly responsible for LinkedIn, which is in my opinion one of the most disgusting (in terms of their data collection, creepy analysis, and overall recruiter-heavy membership) companies that has ever

Based on what evidence? I would posit that it there was an intelligent life-form, it would have descended into war and eventually extinction. Self-interest isn't exclusive to Earth. Edit: I've said that self-interest isn't ex

There was a great talk on Ted by Michael Rubinstein, with cameras they are able to extract audio from objects (visually) and they are able to detect the tiniest motions on magnify them, definitely worth watching: https://www.ted.

I think it failed last time because they tried to make it an exclusive club [0], resentment for a product builds the moment you tell some groups of people that their money isn't good enough. I was intrigued in the beginning, and I lost

I'd argue that Osborne moved too quickly, he was announcing the future (and they didn't deliver it too slowly, they just announced it too quickly) and subsequently committed suicide (figuratively, of-course.)

This. London is a shit-show, filled with people that don't want to talk to you, and without wanting to mention the old rat-race cliché, that's precisely what it is; selfish, greedy, and unhealthy. I lived in London for five years

I think it's more likely that he's preparing to take a step back, and by introducing new designers at Apple (Marc Newson, for example.) they're slowly preparing the public (and investors especially) for the idea of Apple with
