Alas, thanks to the GDPR, the fine article is hidden behind a website which demands I simply agree to "the use of technologies such as cookies by Slate and our partners to deliver relevant advertising on our site, in emails and across the Internet, to personalize content and perform site analytics" as a single, lumped action before I am allowed to read it. Therefore I was unable to read it.
I very much hope most users prompted with that warning also simply felt unable to read the content rather than compelled to agree to whatever it is Slate is trying to wave off under the umbrella of a single 'Agree' button.
I mean, we _told_ it not to when we put it in charge of everything and asked it to self-train by collecting morality lessons from the internet. Who knew?
This is eerily reminiscent of those citadel gates in half life 2, early in the game, where you try to walk through a passage and a camera just turns and goes red on you and signals a "Nope" sound. And if you try to talk to anyone after that, they're all like "I can't be seen talking to you I'll get in trouble".
But this is exactly what happened (at least according to the summary and the article). They weren't looking to confirm De Angelo's DNA in particular and found that it matched. They were just "looking" for a suspect in the sense of finding someone with a DNA match (via the genealogy website trick). The 'suspect' was only labelled a suspect *after* being linked to the case via DNA evidence. What is happening is that now they have a suspect thanks to DNA, they're trying to back-splain how he committed the crime and how his role as a police officer had something to do with it. This is not a person previously suspected of these crimes (at least not according to the summary and article). The chances of subsequently then matching "abanadoned samples" is not "further incriminating evidence"; the chances of abandoned DNA profile matching the crime scene DNA after his DNA profile was selected on the basis that it matches the crime scene DNA is not a 'wow' moment. This has exactly a probability of 1 (minus noise).
I'm using Sailfish OS on a Jolla phone now, and I'm very happy with it. Partly because the switch from Android is made smooth by supporting Android apps. It has all the requirements OP asked for, including a navigation solution (which can optionally fall back on online Google Maps data). Having said that, I do have a love / hate relationship with the company in charge though. They've consistently disregarded their fanbase while writing glamorous "We've listened" posts for every release, and they seem to be making terrible business decisions lately.
I just had my very first citation of my paper according to google scholar. I have no idea what they said about my paper. I need to pay £100 to find out. My university (Oxford) doesn't have access to that journal. If Oxford doesn't have access, who the f*** is supposed to have access to that journal? I tried sci-hub, but the journal cunningly blacklisted ip addresses known to originate from sci-hub.
I beg to differ. In the pre-steam golden era of Windows gaming where most people pirated their games, getting a game to work was always a highly elaborate process* and most people did it with zero problems. Copying a file here and there means zero to the gamer if it means they get to play the game on their own terms.
I use tab groups all the time. They are an amazingly useful feature. However it doesn't surprise me 'normal' users don't, because it's not on the default set of icons. One has to enable it from the customization menu. So most people simply don't know it's there. I'm pretty sure once they did they'd use it all the time too. Every single time I've shown it to a friend they've gone "wow you can do that?". Similarly, the other day I spotted Firefox can display a page in a "Reflow" format... I forgot where they put the button for that though, so that was it. I'd use this feature if I knew how to activate it. Chances are this is the next feature that will go as Mozilla will be like "well, nobody seems to be using it so they probably just don't like it."
Seriously, no 'file manager' solution I've seen so far works adequately, and in a way that preserves such tags across devices / disks / etc. What do other slashdotters do for tagging purposes?
I mean, imagine if this happened with hardware:
"Hi, I have a USB and I'd like to read my files" "Oh, I'm sorry, our USB-reader is only compatible with USB sticks made by our company. It can't read just any USB you give it because we use a different method to write and read data from it." What's the correct response. Is it "Oh, well, I'll buy a usb that's only compatible with you guys then", or is it "well, fuck you and your company, I'll get a reader that reads USBs like it's supposed to"?
... to properly implement software that complies to open standards, is seen as a failure of open software to reproduce those bugs and non-standard features?
Hm... where have I seen this before?
I disagree. You can gauge your interns' level of knowledge *while* having a lesson plan, and an insight on why it merits teaching in the first place; just showing up for a hard-arranged tutorial completely unprepared and willing to just 'wing it' because you totally think you know your stuff and can't be bothered to prepare a structure, let alone a topic, just doesn't cut it.
If you *really* want to ensure you don't tread on previously covered ground, you prepare a couple of topics, and allow the students to choose. You don't just show up with coffee.
Also, seriously, there was no *actual* need for the smug retort at the end there really, was there? What are we, twelve?
In all seriousness, there's an epidemic of clinicians who haven't done a day's worth of formal teaching-skills education in their lives, who suck in teaching as a result, but think they're hot stuff because they know their medicine well. And when the clinician is unable to transmit his ideas, the students / interns get blamed instead. To bring it back to the original article, it's worse than "just read the code", it's more like "just read the code that's in my head".
It is not the responsibility of the student to fix a broken lesson plan. For fuck’s sake, the entire point of having a teacher is that they know what the students need to learn and the students don’t!
This. I've lost count of the number of times as a medical student when I showed up in a pompous consultant's teaching session, (arranged with great difficulty, no less), and the first sentence was "So, what would you like me to teach you today?".
If I knew I'd have gone and read about it myself rather than waste time here with you, thank you very much you arrogant prick!
If someone sues for patent infringement, can you just say "ok I withdrew the app" and that's it?
(and if minimal profit has occured, say, give the licence dues and move on)
Or once the lawsuit is filed you have to pay the exorbitant amount or fight it etc?
How do you actually get other people to see what you've found? Is it built in the tool somehow? Shouldn't I then be able to see other people's finds? Or is the whole of slashdot meant to start posting random map links to each other?
Anyway for what it's worth, what do you think of this? http://tomnod.com/nod/challenge/ninarescue2/map/207268

Isn't what is described in the summary the very definition of the prosecutor's fallacy?
It was not a "manifesto", let alone an anti-diversity one. That's what it was called in the media. Big difference.

I cannot like your reply enough. very nicely said.
More like "America, Fuck Off".

Just saying, slight bias in their conclusion.
True, that's probably why there's a Sign in as a Guest link right below the username/password fields ...
but who sees this aggregate result? I didn't find a way to do so, all I can do is share the map link
