Whereas I agree with the sentiment, I find that nearly all subscription TV (Sky, etc) has 15 minutes of adverts an hour. These include the premium channels, such as Sky films and Sports. I don't see why anyone would pay £60 a month for these channels to play 8 hours of adverts each a day, and then complain about the TV licence cost of £150 a year.

Because of the way that STEM is taught, free thinking is often discouraged, and the 'freaks' leave academia as soon as possible or become conformist. This is not a new thing, Einstein was mocked for his free thinking ideas.

Also Telepathy, although they cite organisations that are researching these 'wonderful, weird (and possibly worrying) ways the world might change in the foreseeable future', which is more worrying!

If I think that reviews could be suspect I use ReviewMeta[0]. The process usually indicates if the reviews are legit or not. although for this product, it claims that it passes. Might be that 99 reviews have been deleted though, and Amazon is attempting to fix those reviews. [0]https://reviewmeta.com/

This reminds me of the Paranoia RPG. The GM was expected to kill off many PCs, usually in a funny and elaborate way, so each player got 6 'clones' that activate upon death. It was a really great game for letting off steam! [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paranoia_(role-playing_game)

So why can't we have the option of using 'power user' interfaces? Also I doubt that Youtube has ever been for powerusers..

So why are they not using this tech for balls/strikes? The point of this article is that during extra innings, umps are miscalling pitches. With Hawk-eye the home base ump could know near-instantly if the ball is in the zone. Then there is just the arguments of the batter swinging..

Me too, I was wondering how anyone would know. This is actually about the management of secrets.

Yes, but it's about 'making' luck or, more accurately, taking advantage of luck when it does come. If you don't get out there then you can't be in the right place at the right time!

That's not necessarily true. There are thousands of examples of good products that failed due to lack of marketing.

Indeed, but those that spent 2-3 years gaining the knowledge[0] and then paying for their cab, and licence are then being usurped by a Uber driver with a GPS and a cheap car. Even with the 'star' system the service levels will drop. [0]https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing...

Which then brings up the thorny issue of which cases to drop, and why make those things illegal in the first place. I don't know what the alternative is though. Maybe Judge Dredd style law enforcement of police, judge and jury in one job..

I'm sure Donald Knuth has! Seriously, this is a life goal for me to read and understand these works, especially after I read that Bill Gates said he would hire anyone that had done.[0] Not sure that its going to happen though, as the maths is slowing me down!

Who needs that much? Are you planning on putting an entire library of books on there?

-Stop eating at 8pm (the time of my last meal) -Start eating at 1 or 2pm the following day

How is this just not just skipping breakfast? 3 times a week? I know lots of overweight people who do this, although it is easy to follow.

Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

Secure and cheap please!

What you should be saying is that secure software isn't cheap, and management doesn't see a point in spending extra money

I too started on TI BASIC, which taught me a lot, including ASCII, hex, binary, function calls, debugging the lists from magazines and how to type. I think I could type 'Call CLear' faster than anyone I knew! It's a pity I didn't get into ASM until years later when I got a spectrum.

Does this mean that someone with a $10K credit card could be picked up and have their assets stripped? What about those business guys with oversea bank accounts that are undeclared? I wonder if anyone would use this law to stop political opponents..

The best part is 'CEO: (picks jaw up off floor)'

The script he gave isn't that spectacular, and, if this did actually happen, the CEO was probably impressed that he had rehearsed.

I assume this question is used like the fizz-buzz coding test, although perhaps the CEO didn't know this.

It was the father who complained. The case as reported by NYT http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/magazine/shopping-habits.h...

Most of the UK stores are owned by the parent company. There are a few franchisee stores though.

To be different. To prove that YOU know something that all the others don't. For some people, this gives them meaning, a group to belong to, and reasons to hate/distrust others.

Good job there is not such thing as false ID

That was my first thought. Why should the defendant have a say in what evidence can be collected? Did the Feds ask if they could take DNA samples from the scene, for example?

-'seven out of the 14 major Catalyst firms ended up making money for their investors. Two broke even. And six ended up as losses.' Doesn't that come to 15? I really enjoyed the article though, very informative.

After 2 years I've just moved jobs, and didn't have a single issue with my age. The other guy is also still working as a developer.

I thought that starting out as a developer at 42 was a bit too old. I felt much better when the new guy I started with admitted he was going to be 50 at the end of the month.

>I know this stuff seems obvious. But it took me a while to figure out I couldn't just coast and wing it like in high school, and many other students had the same experience.

This.. So much this for me. It took a long time for me to realise that I couldn't just wing it, as I did for school, and once I got that I went from failing to near top of the year.
