    I'd be interested in seeing that slideshare if you have it to hand?

    Ewan Birney (deputy directory of EMBL European Molecular Biology Laboratory)'s Twitter is a really good source of first class scientific information on this. You need to scroll bac…

    I'm from the UK (England in particular) - I think most people from England would say they are British (sometimes depending on context / person / non-requirement for brevity: 'from …

    Yes that is the official weight limit, but speaking as someone who has one and weighs 20% more, it works totally fine. Not sure why you think it struggles - even with the official …

    There is something very Mitchell and Webb about that sort of situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JOpPNra4bw

    Also of note: Tinkerboard has b/g/n 2.4Ghz wifi. Pi 3B+ also has 802.11ac 5Ghz wifi. Tinkerboard has a superior sound chip, supporting 24-bit, 192kHz audio. Pi 3B+ has a totally ga…

    Yes and it's "200 percent more", the more being the key bit. More being 100% + (200%), i.e. 300%, i.e. triple.

    Isn't the point that the R of FRAND is being violated because it is not reasonable to charge a % of the cost of the entire device when they are contributing only the modem.

    Could you please expand on what you mean by the 'ui not being blocked'. What behaviour do you expect the app to have and why?

    You realise that it's not up to the Spanish courts to work this out right? Similarly the EU is irrelevant here. What is critical the interpretation of the UN when it comes to wheth…

    You actually have to demonstrate why you think the international UN law defining fundamental human rights which Spain is a signatory to is 'not relevant' and that the UN has 'zero …

    The whole point of fundamental rights is that they are fundamental! Wikipedia: 'They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently enti…

    The legitimacy of 'Jim Crow laws' would be determined by how people voted - and presumably people would vote No. The 'legitimacy' of a referendum is related to who is trying to org…

    It isn't official in the sense that the Spanish government has acted to declare it unofficial in various ways. That doesn't make it unofficial or mean that most people won't vote (…

    Your link is very confused. It talks of a referendum in the title but this isn't in the article. The Consitutent Assembly wasn't brought about by referendum it was created by presi…

    Yes, referendums aren't held in a vacuum, the wealthy, powerful, and the government can use their resources to influence the result. This happened in the UK with Brexit. The govern…

    Could you please explain how to you 'some racist group' is equivalent to the Catalonian regional government, the democratically elected government of 7.5 million people?

    The referendum is invalid from the get-go. This is just a bald assertion. Yes I do think that people who care about the results of a referendum will go out and vote because that is…
