I'm not in academia, but I've published a bunch of (mostly IT security) research to be freely read by the public under my own copyright or the copyright of a company that's hired me. My serious question is: what is to prevent individual researchers from just publishing what they have as a PDF or WordPress article on a random site on the Internet? (e.g. are there rules in their contract that says they can only publish through so-and-so service, who has the copyright of academic research, etc.)
Were they wearing brown shirts when they "declared war" on a candidate exercising his right to free speech? Have they forgotten why free speech is a good thing in the first place or are we just going straight to "thought police" mode?
>> contact information of his agent and legal representative
Um...isn't this information public anyway? What's an "agent" or a "representative" worth if they can't be contacted?
>> Did anyone else LOL when they read the first sentence.
Yes. I initially though someone had pranked SlashDot by convincing the editors that no one knew that property of primes before. If so, that would have been the ultimate SlashDot dup - 2500 years or so in the making.
Maybe Apple would want to pack up and completely move to Ireland then...would it have more to offer than massive tax breaks? (http://qz.com/273631/how-apple-got-its-2-tax-rate-in-ireland/)
When did this place become Facebook? What's next, "just sayin'"? "JK"? Perhaps your high ID explains it, but on SlashDot there's no reason to snark off and then hide behind your mom's skirt - we LIKE bold discussions.
It might if your startup gets purchased. Centralized IT (e.g., no dedicated IT dude in the office of the acquired company) is one of the first "cost synergies" that goes into effect in my experience.
I would think that companies that collected health data would be screwed if obesity ever became a protected class and they showed a pattern of firing or not promoting unhealthy fat people.
Companies that collect this stuff would already seem to be in borderline territory with race and age, which are already protected classes, since race and age can predict certain health conditions. (If health conditions were used in personnel decisions, someone could potentially say that's a round-about way of discriminating on race/age...)
I could see having a per-account switch to "allow me to use my account in beta" (default = OFF) for developers who want to play with this stuff, but why would you want to expose your production customers to untested software like this?
>> Weird to see less protection on the beta platform
Not if you've ever seen teams refactor code in a large codebase. When that occurs, you often lose a lot of the "history" and "memory" of a branch, which often resurfaces bugs, edge cases take care of years ago and new vulnerabilities.

You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Still boycotting M$ until they take dogecoin.

I can run 2km in 10 minutes. Are we talking a rickshaw ride or are there really no roads out there?

Yes. I initially though someone had pranked SlashDot by convincing the editors that no one knew that property of primes before. If so, that would have been the ultimate SlashDot dup - 2500 years or so in the making.
>> In base 2, every prime number is 100% likely to be followed by a prime ending in 1
That was kind of my thought too. Isn't the "9/1" thing kind of base 10-ist?
>> Many experts believe that a nuclear attack on U.S. soil is more likely than ever
No, that's just the vendor speaking. Time to Google something called the "Cold War" I think...

Sounds safe until someone leaves a couch on the side of the road.

Sure, for testing. It's been a few years since I've run into in the field, though.

The complete works of Shakespeare were already published so the chimps were "on the bench" so to speak.

I see your newfangled unit tests and raise you legacy code.

Super Mario Brother. Before political correctness they would have said, "trying it on a few Goombas" but today people will say "SMBs" instead.

3) You don't have to worry as much about the "return of property" or "educate the user" hassles afterword
