There are many open-source solutions for BCI projects like BCI2000 ( http://www.schalklab.org/research/bci2000 ), OpenVibe ( http://openvibe.inria.fr/ ) and EEGLab ( https://sccn.u…

"Digital vigilantism" that's exactly it.

True, plus, I forget the legislation but you are effectively breaking into the computer first which is a crime. Committing a crime for a noble outcome is still a crime. Incentives …

What gets me is why we don't see more viruses that _deliver_ the patch to fix the vulnerability. It's perhaps a little more difficult as you'd need a vulnerability to keep spreadin…

While it doesn't have an inherent advantage, it has the mindshare and momentum of a community that has these tools now. R could be just as capable as Python, but I think Python has…

This is a really solid response. I'm a Pharmacologist and I've worked in a number of Biotechs. I have been part of pricing discussions to value our drugs and your assessment is cor…

Ian is linking from twitter for the images so your company is probably blocking twitter. Evidently, however, not the equally large time-sink that is Hacker News!

Disclaimer: I'm one of the organisers I thought the vibe of the conference was the best we could have hoped for. Python is crazy popular now — the number of people we had from big …

Animal experimentation is repellant to many people, I can see why. The point is that society has decided that they'd prefer well-researched, empirically-observed working medicines.…

Your point is quite right, I don't think it's self serving at all. Complex physiological diseases like cancer can be observed as tumours grafted to a scaffold in vitro, but you can…

Unfortunately, science isn't the sort of endeavour where anything can resolutely be considered necessary to start with. Arguably there should be some doubt about whether your resea…

I can confirm that this largely rings true for the UK. The Home Office is the body that deals with the certification of a specified procedure and provides the oversight that animal…

Correct me if I'm wrong but perhaps you had the same issue as me. The documentation is plentiful, lots of good examples and the book, similarly, increases with a nice linear comple…

Hey Laurie. To be honest, if the undergrads can knock out presentations as good as your presentation on DOTA2 analysis then, we, at PyData London should be actively trying to get m…

I am committee member of the PyData London Meetup and I'd argue that the tech scene in London is simply more vibrant outside of the universities at the various meetups, hacker spac…

Seconded - that series illustrates a number of dystopian fantasies based on rapid technological change. Forgive the tangent but I felt the "The Entire History of You" episode is pa…

I upgraded from 12.04 LTS and I had a few niggles - the configs for Compiz were messed up and the AMD proprietary driver wasn't working, oh and grub got nuked. Ultimately, blowing …
