You might get a tax free stipend... :) Depends on whether you get a scholarship! (I have a PhD student of mine who has a "fees only" scholarship - she is employed doing other thing…

I hope there will be an independent ethics review committee or similar. The modern concept and frameworks of Responsible Research and Innovation might be a helpful starting point. …

Ha, my long distance relationship survived with a good old fashioned "3, 2, 1, go!" :)

This is creepy as hell. Video saved to the cloud, owned/processed by Google? Yeah nope.

I remember having to go home and tell my mum I now worked for freshmeat.net, looking at her face, then realising ... "NO! It's not a porn site!!!"

Yes, I'm an ethicist, but I also am a realist. In the current HE environment in the UK having a "permanent job" means very little these days. I'm all for bucking the system, but I …

Given I'm here on a work visa, I'd rather not have much cause for authorities to look closely at me until I've gone for citizenship :-)

I was an editor for freshmeat back in the early 2000s and it was a lot of fun. I was there when fm acquired themes.org and was one of the main people tasked with ensuring the HUGE …

Men can (and should be!) feminists too.

The more people who come out saying it's unacceptable the more likely there is to be a paradigm shift, at least, that's how I hope it will go. Another voice to add to those decryin…

Not at all - I think a qualitative approach may be able to illustrate the problem better because you can get more complexity from deeper questioning.

And perhaps over on the "nursing news" website they are actually doing this. We're in tech. Let's sort our own back yards out before pointing fingers at others'.

"Applications of statistics in this area fail to illuminate but at all any useful causal link." - if you're relying on statistics to show things in this area you're missing the com…

As a woman in tech, I'd like to thank the men in this thread who obviously get what the problem is here. This sort of stuff can only change with a concerted effort from both men an…

Except they weren't originally developed to be used by literal eyes of evil. They were the skype of the time, pretty much.

Sounds like someone's bitter. Or trying to stave off competition. :)

I don't see what's so radical here. It sounds like any other branded clothing/etc. sales-based job, really.

This is a failing of your supervisor and university if you have this experience in a UK university. I'm currently supervising PhD students at De Montfort University and we are requ…

What's your point? I have several friends (and myself as well) that deleted their accounts and they were actual active users.

Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by this too! I had the birthday, an address, and something about one of my standing orders that I had to pick from. It was nice to not have to expl…

Really cute! It'd be nice to be able to share a mockup with friends somehow.

What alternative OS can I run on the device?

I'm in the UK. It's also useless for finding things - it has petrol stations in places they don't exist near my house, and restaurants that closed down years ago. It also sucks for…

Yeah, me too! I am very impressed. :D (Hope you're getting some affiliation cash, OP, I'd be happy to throw that your way given the usefulness of this!)
