In February, The New York Times started tightening its paywall so readers couldn’t access paywalled content by switching their device to incognito mode. Publishers like News UK’s The Times of London and Sweden’s MittMedia have harder paywalls embedded on their platforms, where readers need to enter details to access any content. In this case, the issue of user experience and the process of authentication is of more concern than paywall blockers, according to Chris Duncan, managing director at The Times of London.

In the 16th century, weasels were a catch-all category for many of the furry, long-bodied carnivorous creatures in the mustelid family, such as ermine, sables, martens, ferrets, stoats and mink. Leonardo da Vinci’s Lady with an Ermine (circa 1490) is the most famous Renaissance weasel painting. So including a weasel pelt in a woman’s portrait was also simply a way of indicating their high social-standing and successful financial position.

Protothreads are extremely lightweight stackless threads designed for severely memory constrained systems, such as small embedded systems or wireless sensor network nodes. Protothreads provide linear code execution for event-driven systems implemented in C. Protothreads can be used with or without an underlying operating system to provide blocking event-handlers. While protothreads originally were created for memory-constrained embedded systems, it has found many uses as a general purpose library too.

The three device limit only refers to computers and mobile devices with the official Dropbox app installed. Which is why I recommend anyone who hits the three device limit consider using the web version of Dropbox on mobile. You could use Dropbox on some devices and a different cloud storage service on others, then connect them using Zapier.

Bobbing in a drysuit and snorkel in the polluted waters of Elliott Bay would not usually be my first choice for ocean recreation, but I’m tagging along with two University of Washington (UW) habitat biologists who are counting fish and other marine creatures near the sea wall to see these enhancements close-up. Sparked by the city’s recognition in the early 2000s that its downtown shoreline needed habitat improvements—resulting in a small beach near Olympic Sculpture Park created in 2006, and construction of the new sea wall that began in 2013—SAFS has embarked on a long-term effort to track the effects of the new sea wall on marine organisms. Undoing 150 years of urbanization is impossible, but Seattle officials hope the new sea wall will improve the situation for salmon and other marine species.

In mathematics, the role of these highest peaks is played by the great conjectures — sharply formulated statements that are most likely true but for which no conclusive proof has yet been found. It included all-time favorites like the Riemann hypothesis — often considered the greatest of great conjectures, one that has remained the Everest of mathematics for over a century. In a perverse way, the refutation of a great conjecture can be even better news than its success, since the failure makes clear that our imagined map of the mathematical world is seriously wrong.

And looming over the whole (mainly joyous) preparation process, is a quote from Strauss himself, namely that he wanted his Salome to have the voice of Isolde, but in the body of a sixteen year old girl. It’s not just women who feel the pressure – a baritone friend of mine who was double cast in a shirtless role with a notable barihunk tells me that he’d spent weeks psyching himself up to go on stage topless for the first time. I mean let’s just consider the story of Die Meistersinger for a moment- dad offers his daughter as a prize in a singing competition, and the man who’s been in love with her for years loses on purpose for the good of Holy German Art.

At Atomwise, we invented the first deep learning neural networks for structure-based small molecule drug discovery and we’re currently deploying it in one of the largest applications of machine learning for life sciences. You will be contributing to the design and development of massive cheminformatic datasets for machine learning, with the opportunity to construct novel analyses which inform our ML directions for drug discovery research. As a member of the R&D team, you’ll have the chance to interact daily with software engineers, machine learning scientists, computational chemists, and fellow cheminformaticians.

U.S. agricultural goods have been targeted by China’s retaliatory tariffs and American farmers, a key political constituency for Trump, are worried. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has paid $8.52 billion directly to farmers as part of a 2018 aid program designed to offset losses from tariffs imposed by China and other trading partners, a spokesman for the agency said on Wednesday. Trump, who has embraced protectionism as part of an “America First” agenda, has railed against what many U.S. and European officials and companies describe as China’s unfair trade practices, including forced technology transfers and intellectual property theft.

But music also demonstrates that time perception is inherently subjective—and an integral part of our lives. To put it bluntly, the subjective perception of the length of time withered the collective attention span for listening to music.5

Neuroscience gives us insights into how music creates an alternate temporal universe. While the manipulation of perceptual time is a pervasive aspect of music, particular composers, including Anton Bruckner, famous for his hour-plus symphonies, and Olivier Messiaen, took the warping of subjective time to extremes.
