Many people from these countries have fled/migrated to other countries, gotten educations and built up skills - you now have people living in e.g. Europe, with European educations etc, unable to enter the US due to where they were born.
People, incl politicians, have been posting vote-booth selfies for the last few years now - if you want to buy votes, have people post selfies with them, it'll get drowned out by the noise of everyone else doing so, even if illegal in your region.
There's money in providing a Social Media Profile service - pay someone a small amount to run a fake, clean FB/G+/Twiter/whatever profile, and when asked for access, provide that one.
I took the liberty of updating that bit of The New Colossus to a more Trump-friendly version, with apologies to Emma Lazarus:
"Get away, you tired, you poor, You huddled masses yearning to breathe free, Keep this wretched refuse on your own teeming shore. Remain homeless, tempest-tost far from me, I shit here, on my golden throne!"
Ybrain plans to test the device on thousands of depression patients in 70 hospitals in Korea, according to the article, then "use data from all those patients to build a case for approval in Europe...and then in the U.S.
For a technique that has yet to have any established evidence to show it is useful for depression, this might be seen as optimistic.
Don't know the details of Ybrain's tech, but doesn't sound that dissimilar from treatments currently available at hospitals, e.g. Re5-NTS, for severe cases.
Haven't tried any of those - they any good? Typing out words lets me make sure that some "intelligent software" doesn't try to wrongly guess what I'm typing, and constantly requiring me to change dictionary depending on what language I'm using - if things got beyond the stage of constant obstruction, I'd be willing to give it a go.
It's....complicated Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, meaning it "belongs" to the British monarchy, and is protected by the British, but they govern themselves. They could try to leave, but they aren't really equipped to be a sovereign nation, and they've twice rejected returning to Spain.
If/when UK finally #breaksshit, they'd be likely to leave as well, but there is theoretical room for them to remain in the EU, by severing ties with the brits.
Allow me to ask a question or two, since I see people talking in circles (1 requests definition of fraud, answers are all that fraud => rape)
If a woman on a "casting couch" performs sex, with consent, under the understanding that it'll lead to a job in pornography, and then learns that there is no job, is this the level of fraud that makes it rape? What other kinds of fraud exists that can negate consent? Promises of living-standards? Promises of being STD-free or infertility? Others? Is the woman engaging in a quid-pro-quo exchange of sex for financial gains (a job), and is this prostitution?
I am not saying that the person being charged shouldn't have the book(s) thrown at him, I'm merely confused why people asking how it is fraud are exclusively being answered with "Fraud => Rape", and zero explanation on the fraud part.
You have an economic system that requires a constant increase in population - countries all over the place start panicking when fertility-rates start to approach the minimum required for sustaining the population (replacement birth rate), which is 2.1 in Western countries, 2.33 globally.
Yes, several are below that rate, and many specifically take steps to try and increase it, though some manage to offset the difference via immigration.
The UK still wants to be bestest buddies with the EU - just ignoring a ruling until they finally manage to leave (wholly or otherwise) won't be a good way to initiate the post-brexit negotiations in 2019.
Noticed this - in the past, the browser would idle at 80-115% CPU usage, now it see it rest at 180-250% CPU usage.
Giving it the Restart command also seems faster - shutting down and coming back up is now less than a minute most times! (hey, it frees up 4-7 gigabytes of physical ram, and several gigabytes of diskspace, and makes pretty much everything run faster for a while)
Wasn't his/her statement simply that "Taxation simply isn't within the EU remit", i.e. that the EU cannot collect taxes? That holds quite true, even if they have rules requiring countries to follow a harmonized VAT system.
The rules in effect here, though, are not regarding taxes, but fair competition within the trade zone, and special tax-rates are seen as providing unfair advantages to individual companies; yes, that means taxation and rates are affected by the fair competition rules, but outside of that the EU doesn't dictate tax-rates or collection methods.

I've already had half a fifth of whiskey tonight . . . Help me out here, Slashdot. A/C's need not apply.
Half of a fifth of a whiskey? so'eh, 1/10th of a whiskey?!?

That 1 snippet is pretty much the only reason the EU hasn't reacted against it ... yet ...

Eh, FOVE?
Could we ask that the headlines indicate when it's only in the US?
"Fewer Americans Are Dying of Cancer Than Ever Before"
Don't worry, there'll never be a TV you can use then, if any latency is too much latency.
It's....complicated

Try Bragi's "The Headphones", or "The Dash" - I have the latter, been quite pleased overall with audio-quality
has gone insane with paranoia, maybe a coup would be best
huh? they just had one, quite successfully too, I might add....

Oh, sure, but the summary points explicitly at language as being the driver for the move :)
I should think Cyprus, Gibraltar, and Malta might take even more issue with it ...
Also, the contemporary Christmas "spirit", based on ultra-consumerism and overeating
Not to nitpick, but overeating goes back a LOOONG time, before we had words like "consumerism" :)
Didn't the summary point this out? People don't want to pull their phones out to talk to them ....

Thunderf00t's video reminded me of the original meaning of "to beg the question".
