I'm not sure which come directly from the LHC, and which predate it (but probably still benefit from the research) but a lot of medical techniques rely on particle interactions and acceleration which benefit from the research such as PET-scans, and particle-therapy.

There is also research being performed at cern into new superconductors and new ways of coating various materials with thin layers.(as a direct resut of building the LHC).

I'm... not sure I want this. It sounds pretty useful/fun form a programmers perspective.

But from an end-user perspective I fear that it will lead too various "features" hogging resources. I would assume I could block them client-side, but I'm also the family-tech and quite frankly I don't expect my grandparents to do the same.

I think you mean: Not having to kill battery life and rack up your data usage by having your privacy respected ftw.

I wonder, is it in the realms of possibility for big-budget organizations like the NSA to simply read the UID from the silicon by means of physical analysis (e.g. a scanning tunneling microscope)?

The way things work at my university, at least the science faculty, is that word of good or bad teachers just travels trough the grapevine. And it is usually quite accurate.

Then we have (a active, and paid) representation in the faculties decision making body, which leads to, in my experience, the faculty actually dealing with bad professors.

Not everything has to be boxed in by numerics, sometimes simply speaking up and listening is the easiest and best solution.

A streamer also mentioned that recently Twitch send out an enquiry to partners about what kind of affiliation programs they would be interested in. My bet would be that Amazons angle is going to be integration of their storefront and other services into Twitch in the form of affiliate programs ("Buy this game now"-buttons, adding Twitch Turbo to Amazon Prime and the likes).

I wouldn't even be surprised if down the road they'd announce a Steam-like digital distribution thingymagick. Steam and it's competitors are rolling in cash and have been getting quite some flack recently so now might be the best time.

The quotes on that page feature the best job title I have ever seen: "Aras Pranckevičius, graphics plumber at Unity."

It's not much different from from Apple having to abide by EU laws if it wants to sell its product in Europe. Or to invoke 'think of the children'[1], the prosecution of Child Pornography websites hosted/owned by foreign nationals.

[1] There really should be some form of Goodwin's Law for this by now.
