Re: Hybrid

What business impact would your working from home have on the university?

I hope I haven't had any business impacts for the last 10years if working in the University = it's fscking University not a Tescos

>Sooo, the idea would be that someone who's not a doctor could make doctor-level decisions,

>Sure. Go ahead. Give it a try. Seriously.

In europe your smear test is processed by an ultra high quality scanning microscope, that images the whole sample in several visible and invisible wavelengths, at a stack of focus steps and automatically adapts to any flatness variation in the slide substrate. The image is digitally enhanced and fed to a machine learning algorithm which has been trained on billions of previous images.

In the USA a single field of your sample is looked at for under a minute by a real doctor using a Mk 1 eyeball and an unserviced uncleaned uncalibrated microscope they bought decades ago when they got the job.

One of these produces diagnostic outputs indistinguishable from random chance.

Re: Pay grades might be a problem

A friend's dad in was quickly promoted to Lt Colonel back in the 80s once all the REME pipeline engineers started leaving for the North Sea.

Re: Is it obvious

>then it is obvious and cannot be patented.

So a hull design produced by CFD can't be patented because it's a purely mechanical process?

I can see some algorithms being trickier. I can patent an algorithm for detecting corners in an image (or I can't cos someone already did) so why can't I patent a trained model to do the same?

Re: Sliding doors...

I don't know, server/cloud companies basing their business model on selling access to systems built on open-source software ? Sounds risky

Re: Passports

It is however illegal to make a colour copy of a UK passport.

Her His Majesty's Stationary Office holds the copyright to the artistic design of the passport but will allow B+W scans for administrative purposes.

Re: Not all heroes

Then if the ransomware gangs signed up with the Business Software Alliance and audited you

>Haven't you heard of SystemD

SystemD just gives you more new commands to learn beyond 'init', it doesn't allow their preferred version of Chrome to read open browser tabs in other versions of Chrome and send them to the mothership

Re: Flexi time

>Your taking time off during the day and willingly making it up outside of your 9-5 isn't the same thing at all,

But if a boss is concerned about how he looks in Orange - they might just order a blanket ban on email after 5. And if you do work in the evening and send an email, do you go to the big house?

Re: "That's because we studied math at school."

I'm selling discount raffle tickets, half price and only 1 in a 1,000,000,000 less chance of winning.

These are last weeks ticket !

And your point is ?

Re: Might be useful in low radioactivity environment as well

exposition-per-year is a major problem for theatre students. We have to limit the amount of Shakespearean roles they do

Re: Glassholes

If your are constantly tracked by cameras on every street, every shopping centre and every bit of public transport. If every movement of your phone and car are recorded and logged by Palantir, do you storm the Home Office or just shrug and say 'at least it keeps us safe from terrorists' ?

Re: Priorities

No it's a legitimate concern that a lot of very useful but lower energy, and therefore less sexy, but useful facilities got shut down while building the LHC.

It's like saying we should invest in sport and fitness, host the Olympics, build massive stadiums but closing all local playing fields to pay for it.

Re: This is what the EU is for

I suspect cars, especially EVs, will be exempt.

Or any product category where the manufacturer is European.

Re: Air-o-space

>And if you truly believe an astronaut would drill a hole in their own spaceship

She did detonate the engines, but to be fair she did try to stop them bringing it onboard

Re: Shirley?

Re: "if they want to keep their tax breaks"

They want to go into the next election being the $politician that brought 1000 news jobs to $Town and a photo of them cutting the ribbon on the new office park

Re: Power what now?

Without power steering the "ladies that lunch" with their Ranger-Rovers / G-Wagons / Cayennes driving little Granola and XÆA-Xii to school are going to need a couple of muscle bound hunks onboard just to wrestle the steering.

>What a surprise though that keeping tons of data on people is a bad idea!!! How absolutely novel!!!

Many companies business plan is:

1, Provide bullshit service to collect people's data

2, ???

3, Profit

Re: What percentage?

That can be dangerous as their momentum then goes to infinity

Not just China, exporting anything risks empowering economic rivals.

Suppose foreigners used those F150s and Boeings to revitalise their domestic industry ?

Ban all exports now !

Re: That's what they want you to believe

Mr. Bond, you defy all my attempts to plan an amusing death for you.

Hugo Drax has to be the best Bond villain (sorry Mr Lee but your island lair wasn't as good and your henchman came up short)

Especially after Fujitsu personally insisted on the prosecutions, good job that nobody from the Post Office, the Government or the DPP was to blame
