The following excerpts score quite high on my BS meter:

- "Although the purpose and meaning of the manuscript had eluded scholars for over a century, it took Research Associate Dr. Gerard Cheshire two weeks,"

- ""I experienced a series of 'eureka' moments whilst deciphering the code"

These two alone much more to discredit the "preliminary" claims than any of the remaining arguments in favor of the "discovery".

Upvoted - thanks for the reference!

Yes, that's very much correct - thank you!

The correct link is: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-46885828

I'm afraid I don't have the privileges to edit the URL (I can update just the title).

Sounds interesting. If it wasn't a sarcastic comment, could you elaborate a bit, please?

> Uuuh, while your algorithm isn't racist, if a person is using an algorithm to be racist, then it could be concluded that what is happening is... racism.

This is an extremely weak "argument".

Practically, anything can be used as a murder weapon by a murderer. Then "what is happening is ..." murder.

Thanks for the answer! The question was a bit more general though - not only pertaining to the GM-related side.

Isn't there a Java equivalent to Python's `zip`?

Yes, that's what the question was in reference to - thanks!

The current UK rules state a maximum of 400 feet (120 m), AFAIK. Also, speaking of EU, most urban areas of France are off limits, and the not-so-urban ones allow at most 30m/50m (depending on distance from urban areas).

Another, off-topic question from me: in terms of football (my understanding is that countries such as Norway are quite passionate about the sport), I remember there used to be some online discussions quite a few years ago, about the possibility of having Longyearbyen FC compete in the Norwegian football pyramid (at level 3 or 4). Was that actually ever feasible? I'd heard that the team (or the "team"?) only played friendly matches, locally, against different corporations etc.

Yes, it does make sense. Thanks again for the informative response!

Extremely useful - thank you!

Out of curiosity: in a few online sources, I've read the same interview, and I'm particularly interested in the following excerpt: > "You can't be born in Longyearbyen," says Hella. "When a woman has three weeks left of her pregnancy, she must go back to the mainland to have her baby." I ask Hella what happens if a baby is born prematurely. "Paperwork," is her deadpan answer.

What does "Paperwork" exactly comprise of, in such cases?

> Part of Norway, the whole Svalbard archipelago is one of the only places in the world you don't need a visa to live -- if you show up, you can stay, so long as you don't commit a crime or go broke in the process, in which case the governor sends you back to Oslo.

My understanding is that Norway owns all the land there, and that the accommodation situation is quite tricky - there are few rental properties, operated by private landlords, while most of the properties exist solely for the purpose of accommodating local workers (researchers, miners, etc.).

Is that indeed the case? Could you, please, shed some light on this?

I hadn't, thanks!

Thanks!

I have to admit I wasn't aware of any of these fascinating and useful resources. Thanks a million once again!

Thanks for your response! This is absolutely wonderful! Could you provide some further links to example projects (eg, interesting open-source designs and/or source code)?

Sounds great! Have you got any related blog posts and/or open-source code? I'd love to have a look :)

Could you post some screenshots of your system in action, please?

No particular use case in mind yet, aside from exploratory development.

Yes, my point, precisely. Thank you.

Thanks for your reply. I believe it must've been from their promo video. I'm happy that the question came across correctly and the people who have responded so far took this into consideration and glossed over what you've pointed out (if it's indeed the case).

> Nim supports real threads with message passing channels (similar to Go).

Could you specify what are the differences from Go, in this regard are, please?

I second this.
