The Spanish government have since signaled, back in 2017, that it won't veto any attempt by an independent Scotland to join the EU.

Not as much as the British border in Ireland, i think.

Not if you live in Scotland would it be undesireable so it can't be said that it would be undesireable for the UK, just for unionists.

The result was advisory anyway so it was always up to the party in power whether they recognised the result or not. As it is, the result was almost certainly skewed by the cheating of the leave campaigners. If you cheat in a race, you are disqualified. The UK parliament has its own ideas about that.

Who are the developers of those two apps? In the app store that's the distinguishing feature between the Hidden Camera apps at least.

Check the news. Plenty of rioting in the UK, although we prefer mass disobedience. If you work in the real world though, i.e. outside academia, prepare to be blacklisted.

Nope. Can you explain your thinking, please?

Who said we're fine with this? Mostly it's apathy and ignorance, partly it's that if you go up against the authorities you know your card is going to be marked.

Thanks for the update. It did seem like a bit of an unlikely prospect.

For a cold, just wait a week or two. There's nothing medicine can do for you anyway. If it's still there, then it's worth checking. Also, you shouldn't need a sick note unless you are off for more than a week (your legislative framework may vary).

A workmate just suggested water cannon (the police are reluctant to fire rounds at the drones in case a stray bullet hurts someone). I do believe London have some water cannons they bought but couldn't use (PM decided they were unsafe).

The Dutch police are training eagles. The article is some 3 years old but is now trending on the BBC News website, for some reason.

There are a fair number in the UK, there's even an group to help [https://www.coops.tech/]. Speaking to those who've done it they say you should try to legally form as a co-op as soon as you can as it gets expensive the longer you leave it (legal fees).

Alastair Reynolds' "Revenger" (2016) is great. I'll not try to summarise it, my take may not be useful, but it's absolutely brilliant world-building (system building?).

That sounds reasonable and could be paraphrased to "caveat emptor". IANAL but I believe that's a reasonable thing for a court to decide should it come to that.

A quick check of what Reye's Syndrome was would have told you that it is both associated with chickenpox and the first paper to make the link to aspirin was in 1989 (add time for that information to be fully understood and disseminated).

You should read all the way through the article, or read it again. The death toll is quite clearly stated.

Think about: (a) the number of wounds, (b) the age of the child and (c) that they are already ill. Also consider the very serious consequences (death). That increase in the hazard and the potential for serious illness is what makes this a real risk.

In the UK we don't find it economic to vaccinate the whole population for chickenpox but if it's an option to pay for it then it would be sensible.

I don't think that's the point of the article. For efficacy you'd need a properly controlled trial comparing vaccinations, not deliberatly failing to vaccinate and thus endangering children.

A little info for any carers of children with chickenpox. The scabs can allow skin bacteria to infect the child. This may present as a swelling around the scab. It can become life threatening as it can quickly progress to septicaemia (sepsis) in a matter of hours.

It's rare enough that Accident & Emergency may not recognise it as they'll only have a handful of cases in a year in a middle-sized city. There could be a delay in giving that huge cocktail of antibiotics that are going to be required.

The high-dendency unit is a scary place.

Iran is safe, it's just you may be arrested as a spy (if you have dual nationality): https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/czgdk5znl24t/nazanin-zagha...

You can also hold two UK passports concurrently. It's a little workaround that the UK government allows for. It's necessary, for instance, for all of our very experienced workers in the oil industry. When the the Immigration of a particular country are being arses just show them the clean passport.

I had that once, the bit where management wanted to see the burndowns and velocity, then fixated over same. The only way to move past it was to stop producing them. I did, as the Lead/SM/Dev Manager, have the clout to say no, so that was lucky. I explained it's the working software you need but I don't think they were happy.

How are you using it with Keybase.io?

Your own experience may be of better quality teaching in the private schools but that's not borne out by the evidence, what little there is. For reference, there's the recent publication of "Posh Boys: How the English Public Schools Ruin Britain" by Robert Verkaik, which explicitly states there is no demonstrably better teaching.

My own personal experience is of State, Grammar (selective) and Private. It's all about the intake, I feel. The quality of teaching isn't really different. If anything the Private school teachers are lazier because they don't have to try as hard. They also seemed more arrogant to me.

Possibly because the applications are qualitatively different; possibly because the software is being produced by military personnel (aided by civilian advisors).

I would have thought "move fast and break things" could almost be an Air Force motto!

"Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." - Mike Tyson

You should qualify which engineers you are refering to. From the article it's clear that the majority of the coding is "by a fast-moving cadre of Air Force engineers". They are Forces personnel, not civilians. Yes, Pivotal are involved, equally it seems if they are practicing XP, perhaps now only as Agile Coaches.

I also believe the applications this team are creating are substantively different in intent to those the Google employees were complaining about.

Radio 4's Today show had Jimmy Wales and William Orbit on with Justin Webb (08:32 GMT). Rory Cellan-Jones introduced it pretty well as the Beeb's Tech correspondent. Their thoughts, roughly summarised: copyright is good as creators need to get paid; mandatory upload filters aren't going to work and will certainly be a barrier for smaller players. Generally an excellent discussion. Wales said we needed to look at how artists are being paid by, for instance, Google but as they already have upload filters in place this isn't useful leverage.
