this is *very* interesting. i was aware that the cost of living in china has been rising for some time, but this makes it plain that with the increase in cost of living has also come an increase in income. consequently ordinary chinese citizens are BUYING from ABROAD, ONLINE: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/sta...

if the USA starts screwing around with a trade war, they're going to lose out basically.

I'm more worried about this:

When the Times of London reported that researchers who were working on an another study had identified 156,252 Twitter accounts with Russian as their language, had posted messages in English to argue against the European Union during the Brexit referendum, was that sampling bias? This is international politics not statistics or science with complex cases of cause and effect.

See: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/art...

Russian Twitter accounts posted more than 45,000 messages about Brexit in 48 hours during last year’s referendum in an apparently co-ordinated attempt to sow discord, The Times can reveal.

More than 150,000 accounts based in Russia, which had previously confined their posts to subjects such as the Ukrainian conflict, switched attention to Brexit in the days leading up to last year’s vote, according to research for an upcoming paper by data scientists at Swansea University and the University of California, Berkeley.

Chinese Spy Phones at very affordable prices.

Just my thoughts too. THe Kaspersky thing may happen again. Heck, the ongoing farce of "Russia collusion" may, bucking the proverbial trend, come back as a real tragedy next time — because Chinese, generally, have their excrement together much more than Russians these days.

Maybe you would like to chew on this for a bit.

Swedish police admit race cover up on crime
This cover-up of sex assaults in Sweden is a gift for xenophobes
It’s not only Germany that covers up mass sex attacks by migrant men... Sweden’s record is shameful

Don't you think it is problematic when the government is hiding facts from the public? Including for the purpose of political manipulation and the prevention of the discussion of public policy based on the facts?

Of course some things are more difficult to hide than others.

Sweden gang rape ‘live-streamed on Facebook’

They don't care about that. What advertisers don't want to happen is to be accused of, for example, funding terrorists by running ads on those videos.

Feel free to point out exactly where the calculations have gone wrong.

I don't have to. All this week, stories are running how every global climate model has been proven wrong by observation, you know, how actual science is performed? Make the model fit the data, not the data fit the model . . .

Global warming may be occurring more slowly than previously thought, study suggests -- Independent

Scientists admit that world is warming more slowly than predicted -- London Times

In a study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, a team of 10 researchers, led by Richard Millar of the University of Oxford, recalculated the carbon budget for limiting the Earth’s warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) above temperatures seen in the late 19th century.

"I have visited a fair number of countries this year in the course of filming a documentary series on the history of women. Some could hardly be described as bastions of tolerance and equality. But only in Russia dis I witness sexism bolstered by state-sanctioned menace and contempt."

Maybe the highest proportion of women in top government roles is due to a lack of choices they have.

Guess who can't do research?

"Lord Bell ran $540m covert PR ops in Iraq for Pentagon"
The communications agency founded by Margaret Thatcher’s PR guru Lord Bell was hired by the US military to orchestrate a huge $540m “covert” propaganda campaign in Iraq after the 2003 invasion.

In what is believed to be one of the world’s most costly PR contracts, equivalent to £416m, staff from Bell’s agency were based in Baghdad to disseminate pro-coalition material across the airwaves.

Well from the very analysis you link to your claim is completely false, the EA189 model at the center of the scandal was "the most grossly polluting Euro 5 vehicles on the road, which were sold between 2011 and 2015". That the study shows that *other* VW models are underpolluting compared to its competitors (and in no way should their competitors be excused either) does not alter the fact that VW cheated and lied here. Nice try shill, in other news VW was also caught funding "independent" research to challenge diesel fumes health effects. Want me to pull any more dirty laundry out of their filthy bag?

Unfortunately weeks of slander can't be undone by a couple articles pointing out how wrong they were to slander him.

I mean, hold on a second. Slashdot links to an article that copies from another article a report of carbon dating of "545-568" for a piece of parchment from a codex of the Qu'ran. People in this thread immediately act all smarmy about religious folks and their crazy beliefs. Some even claim historians will "just give you the facts" or some horsecrap. Here's what a historian does: A. Looks at article. B. Follows link to article they stole that from. C. Follows their link to the article they stole it from. D. Hits a paywall and goes to Wikipedia. E. Finally gets the point: two bifolios of a really old Qu'ran were discovered (by Alba Fedeli) in a Birmingham codex, Radiocarbon analysis (by the University of Oxford's Radiocarbon Accelerator Unit) dated the animal from which the parchment came to between 568-645 with 95.4% confidence -- in other words, there's a 19 chances of out 20 that the animal was alive when Mohammad was. The verses were copied onto it sometime after the animal was killed. This should all be backed up by consulting the sources linked in Wikipedia, but I'm doing this for an internet rant, thank you very much. So, guess what? If you actually study the sources, you find that 1) no "scholar" has produced a coherent argument using this evidence as the key proof that the Koran predated Mohammad, 2) Antetexts are an entirely different matter, 3) plenty of people are willing to blindly follow their faith on this matter. Most of those seem to be those who proclaim the loudest about the superiority of "science" without having any knowledge of what "science" is and a fundamental confusion of what constitutes faith and what constitutes reason. Hint: if you believe it, 'cos you read it on the interwebs and it matches what you think of the world, it ain't reason.

Or these.

Ah, yes, that gospel of truth, The Daily Mail.

In the interest of full disclaimer, I am the author of CycleMaps, a popular cycling app and a very keen cyclist.

Here in the UK, cycling has increased massively in popularity in the past 4 years or so - the country has had some successes in international cycling competitions, plus London has a very strongly pro-cycling mayor. This has led to the rise of a large number of very casual cyclists - which I think is a very good thing. However among them you get a non trivial number of people that think it's magically fine to drive in the dark without any lights or high-viz jacket, cycling on the pavement scaring pedestrians, or running all red lights. This leads to a lot of antagonism between drivers and cyclists and basically can give us cyclists a bad name. On the other hand, there are drivers that have been known to do massively stupid things, like hit a cyclist, not stop, and then tweet about it.

I am very optimistic about the future as mass cycling in big western cities is still quite a new phenomenon, so I think that things will gradually ease out. In the mean time, if you want to be safe, my advice would be:

* Obey the rules of traffic. Always.
* Make your self visible. Drivers just need to see you
* Be obvious. Make it 100% clear where you intend to go. No surprises. A driver that sees you and knows where you will turn, will not cut you over
* Respect. Pedestrians, drivers, cyclists.
* *NEVER* overtake lorries / trucks from the inside. They cannot see you.
* Learn how to drive. This way, you will learn how to obey the law and (perhaps more importantly) you will understand how it feels to drive next to a cyclist and what kind of perception drivers have
* Where possible, avoid big streets. It's much more possible than you may think. Get a bicycle case for your smartphone. Use (shameless plug) my app, google, or anything else you may like

be safe, and enjoy cycling!

Head meat and brain meat decays. So, capturing the consciousness and implanting that somewhere would be real immortality.

However, in the meantime, I'll settle for looking like this guy. Provided there are suitable donors of course.

The "British billion = 10^12" went out of use in the 1970's. The Brits use the same billion=10^9 as everyone else.

No a billion is still 10^12. That has never changed. But because Americans usually get it wrong, the British now uses the American billion when speaking about money, but the real billion when speaking about everything else. Of course billions are rarely used for anything other than money.

I think you are a little out of date:

• The Times counting people
• New Scientist counting years
• The Daily Telegraph counting YouTube viewers

The Economist Pocket Style Book recommended 10^9 for "billion" back in 1986.

> The Enigma was used by the Germans, not the British.

Yes, but they didn't just use it _in Germany_, and it is reasonable to imagine that they may have had people in England. I was not aware that we knew which side sent this particular message.

The form appears to be English:
http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/multimedia/archive/00351/115804953_02_351757c.jpg

I'm not aware that this is the case. Do you see this when you visit The Times [thetimes.co.uk]? I am able to read the front page.

How?? Seriously, you can click on any front page story and read it? No referral spoofers or anything? (If so, that's cool too, but please share the trick!)

When I load thetimes.co.uk I see all the summaries of what articles are available, but when I click any article to read it, I am unable to do so like you can. I see a pay wall.

Here, maybe this will help in case we are misunderstanding.

I simply copied "thetimes.co.uk" to my address bar and let it correct things. At that point I was redirected to the URL http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/ which displays summaries of all the front page articles.

Being a news paper, this will change fairly soon I suspect, so this is a screenshot of that page as of right now:
http://img153.imageshack.us/i/18684894.png/

The summaries titled 'Ex-MI5 chief...', 'Nato split on afghan...', lower down 'Reunions', and even the ad looking 'latest news' first story.

All of those front page articles are unreadable. I see this pay wall:
http://img514.imageshack.us/i/33791945.png/

I just now noticed the sections at the top, and I did not try any other section than the default 'News', but we ARE talking about the front page here, which 'news' decidedly is.

Now granted, the message isn't identical, but I'm pretty sure he was parapharsing to make a point.

GP said: But I never would have even considered subscribing if, on my first visit to the site, I had been greeted with a big wall that said "You can't see ANYTHING here until you pay us."

So replace "You can't see ANYTHING here until you pay us." with "Available exclusively by subscription."
Not as rude (as expected) but decidedly not allowing me to see anything without paying them.

This article isn't about the New York Times, it's about The Times / The Sunday Times... a UK newspaper.

Well, /. itself is a pretty good example of how this can work. The basics are available for free, but subscribers get nice perks. I'm more than happy to pay extra for those perks.

What "premium content" does Slashdot offer us as subscribers, exactly? We get plums 20 minutes to an hour ahead of the rest of the people and we can get a set number of pages without ads.

Was this your answer to what 'premium' content The Times should offer its readers? I have read many of your posts and have a genuine interest in what you might have for ideas to this very broad and allegedly large problem online news sources are facing. And they cannot retreat back to their old ways because the internet is here and is here to stay.

But I never would have even considered subscribing if, on my first visit to the site, I had been greeted with a big wall that said "You can't see ANYTHING here until you pay us.

I'm not aware that this is the case. Do you see this when you visit The Times? I am able to read the front page. On other sites like WSJ, they give you a nice little summary and then ask you to pay to read the full on details. Is that the correct way to do premium content? I may sound like a smartass but this topic interests me as I support many local bands through premium content by buying additional artwork, LPs and various digital artifacts along with their albums if I enjoy them. How do I do the same for my favorite news sites?

More than likely no one will ever know of anything we did if humans are extinct. If you read up on time capsules, data retention, and info on what would happen to the earth if mankind disappeared it is an sobering realization that after only 50,000 years most traces of humanity will be gone. And after only a few million years, which is minuscule on a galactic time frame, every trace will have vanished, even our weapons grade plutonium will have decayed to its normal state, and all of this long before the sun will obliterate our solar system.

That governments have permitted terrorist acts against their own people, and have even themselves been perpetrators in order to find strategic advantage is quite likely true, but this is the United States we're talking about.

That intelligence agencies, financiers, terrorists and narco-criminals have a long history together is well established, but the Nugan Hand Bank, BCCI, Banco Ambrosiano, the P2 Lodge, the CIA/Mafia anti-Castro/Kennedy alliance, Iran/Contra and the rest were a long time ago, so thereâ(TM)s no need to rehash all that. That was then, this is now!

That Jonathan Bushâ(TM)s Riggs Bank has been found guilty of laundering terrorist funds and fined a US-record $25 million must embarrass his nephew George, but it's still no justification for leaping to paranoid conclusions.

That George Bush's brother Marvin sat on the board of the Kuwaiti-owned company which provided electronic security to the World Trade Centre, Dulles Airport and United Airlines means nothing more than you must admit those Bush boys have done alright for themselves.

That George Bush found success as a businessman only after the investment of Osamaâ(TM)s brother Salem and reputed al Qaeda financier Khalid bin Mahfouz is just one of those things - one of those crazy things.

That Osama bin Laden is known to have been an asset of US foreign policy in no way implies he still is.

That al Qaeda was active in the Balkan conflict, fighting on the same side as the US as recently as 1999, while the US protected its cells, is merely one of history's little aberrations.

The claims of Michael Springman, State Department veteran of the Jeddah visa bureau, that the CIA ran the office and issued visas to al Qaeda members so they could receive training in the United States, sound like the sour grapes of someone who was fired for making such wild accusations.

That one of George Bush's first acts as President, in January 2001, was to end the two-year deployment of attack submarines which were positioned within striking distance of al Qaeda's Afghanistan camps, even as the group's guilt for the Cole bombing was established, proves that a transition from one administration to the next is never an easy task.

That so many influential figures in and close to the Bush White House had expressed, just a year before the attacks, the need for a "new Pearl Harbo

• The current population of the US,
• The base of the Taliban and al-Qa'ida,
• A question about the Euro (I can't believe ANY Europeans could've possibly got this wrong),
• A question about Kashmir,
• The location of the US on a world map (the Russians, Japanese, Mexicans, Italians, and Swedish all did better at locating their own countries),

I wouldn't expect the average person to know the answer to some of the questions (for example, the question on El Nino), but the ones above are real howlers. I think part of the problem is the 'tabloid culture' that exists (on this side of the Atlantic, anyway). People need to stop reading toilet paper and start reading real newspapers.

And just for the record, I got 18 out of 20. I guessed the religion question wrong and incorrectly stated that China and Russia both have populations of over a billion.

Yes, I can't help but agree with you on that. The link, however is to the text of a London Times article that is only available through a paid subscription. I have found the same article printed in several other newspapers, but have not yet found an subscription-free archive that dates this far back.

Although I have found some usefull information through resources like David Ickes and Art Bell, my opinion is that they do damage to serious inquiry into government and intelligence agency corruption with thier lack of fact checking and self serving sensationalism. They make it difficult for those who have a legitimate grievance by mixing legitimate evidence with outlandish stories of aliens and time travel. It's possible that this is done intentionally.

I go to a number of sites for "news" news; I find that the "same" news is very different coming from different countries:
BBC News, which everyone's familiar with;
CNN, the epitome of US government-sanctioned news;
The Economist, of course;
The Times of London,
Japan Today,
Pravda,
The Beijing Review,
Le Monde, and
The Tehran Times

...and a couple of sites for tech and science news:
EurekAlert, a great site for science and medicine press releases,
the former, but still running, Hacker News Network,
BottomQuark,
the phenomenal journal Nature,
Science magazine,
and, of course, The Source.

Some good comics, most of which you will all know, but which I love; here are a couple you might not know:
Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet, a comic that actually features a female sysadmin/techgoddess, and
Bateman Political cartoons, a fun political comic updated regularly.

And, of course, take a look at my sig... Click every day.

Nor I suspect did you read it in The Guardian, The Torygraph, The Times or the Independent. Nor any of the tabloids, or the regional newspapers, or on independent local radio, or, or...

Someone who went entirely too far with the "weakest link". He told his wife "You are the weakest link - goodbye", then strangled her. And he taped it! That sure made the trial a slam-dunk.

Katz read this story: http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/0,,3-2002019668, 00.html so, you might want to keep an eye on your poo-hole or Katz might have a go with you.

I am sure Katz has a good reason to head over to see Junis. The new iMac would be a nice way to get in Junis' good graces.

A quick question for the group: If Slashdot is such a big tech weblog, why is it in Bumble-Fuck-NoWhere, Michigan? Why not No.Va, or Cali, or K.C.? I can only guess that there is a large number of young boys there, so that is why Slashdot is based there. But, I hear that Katz want them to move somewhere else.

He hasn't seen it yet.
He's preparing for the next Linux Developers Conference being held in Kandahar

The problem is, without any moral cost of war, what's to stop it? We can go to war without stopping or thinking.

The economic costs of funding it. Regardless of what some may think, this war ain't cheap. Those missles our fighters are using cost thousands each. The staggering amount of fuel used has to be paid for. The costs of shipping even the most rudimentary forces and supplies overseas (especially to a location as remote and inhospitable as Afghanistan) are enormous. Don't forget the naval ships repositioned in the Persian Gulf and the sorties flown every day. Each person serving in the military must be paid, fed, and housed. Even limited wars like this are tremendously expensive. However, I understand your point about political pressure at home and I agree it plays an important part as well.
