Torquay's disturbingly close to Plymouth... Good quote: "I'm the only woman in the country who's got a mummy for a husband". Yay.

Let's keep going then ...

Or maybe not ..... 1) http://www.jstor.org/pss/3666221 (reminds me of someone :) 2) http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/think-well/201101/why-optimism-can-be-bad-your-mental-health (se comment above)

The innermost planet around 55 Cancri A is almost certainly an exotic waterworld with a radius about twice Earth's, say astronomers

:) so Technology Review wrote the article now, based on an arXiv paper uploaded only now, but actually the paper was already published in Nature last year: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nphys1636

Physicists have exploited the laws of quantum mechanics to generate random numbers on a Nokia N9 smartphone, a breakthrough that could have major implications for information security

Thats spot on where it should have been, pretty impressive!

ever wanted to feel an important extremist to be of interest to big brother - just google for tor :-) it was never easier to be come an "extremist" what are the consequences of this? new opportunities for secure space-based communication services?

Last week NASA and NOAA announced that 2014 topped the list of hottest years ever recorded. Yikes! What's worse, the ten warmest years ever recorded have all occurred since 1998. Yikes again! In the meantime, the ACT is skiing on stones and rocks in Switzerland ^^

Network scientists have discovered how social networks can create the illusion that something is common when it is actually rare. One of the curious things about social networks is the way that some messages, pictures, or ideas can spread like wildfire while others that seem just as catchy or interesting barely register at all.

"The effect is largest in the political blogs network, where as many as 60%-70% of nodes will have a majority active neighbours, even when only 20% of the nodes are active." How convenient :-)

Not a science related article but rather an in depth look at what makes a team succeed.

Protein Folding solved by AI?

Finish him!

What happens if you strap NSGA-II to optimize the usage of your abstract data structures?

Google is taking position here, but can they live up to their own standards?

" Avoid creating or reinforcing unfair bias." Thats the very definition of the AI used today. If you learn from a dataset, you are biased to that data set. No escape from it.

A simple, but neat helper for coding: ML gives idiomatic usage patterns to semi-automate the daily development work.

Machine learning to write better machine learning code...count me in haha

Not new, but always good to read: British intelligence recommend not having password expiry dates. Something we should apply at ESA!

I second that. It has been an open secret for long though that frequent password changes are creating more problems than they solve. See Bruce Schneier: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2016/08/frequent_passwo.html
