It's certainly a welcoming approach.
Mr US corporation, put your HQ in Ireland and you can slurp data from anywhere in Europe.
Regulators? We have Mrs Muggins who does Wednesday afternoons.
Still not as profitable as London's financial services industry held in check by the iron grip of the SFO.
Quantum cloud computing is simple.
You can either know the location of the computer or its performance.
The less knowledge you have of the position, the greater freedom in performance.
In the cloud you have no idea where the computer is - and therefore the potential performance is huge
I wrote the module to do noise reduction on MRI and CT scans in one major bit of software.
It is now very difficult to get sample data.
The clinician can just annomize the patient data portion before they send it to us - if they know how,
But a shopping mall scan clinic, who are the source of most of the bad scans, aren't going to go through the process of getting consent, forming an ethics board and having a human trials review and proving their HIPAA compliance for a $500 scan.
There is official NIH test data, but it is all taken on perfectly calibrated, professionally operated laboratory grade scanners - not what you want to solve the problem of CT scans of hipsters with too many piercings.
> if the researchers are British or not
I don't care if the researchers are British or not, I care if they are working for an ad agency that is the world's largest collector and seller of personal data.
I would be similarly miffed if the data had been sold to British researchers working for the Sun.
The real tragedy is that this will kill people.
Every time something like this happens it makes people less likely to assist in real medical trials, t makes the barriers to doing medical research harder, it means drugs and treatments will be delayed or never started.
Because there was never any terrorism in, or due to, the northern Ireland situation.
The UK government was quite firm that these were criminal not political activities
Now any parking offence in London is considered terrorism - I wonder what has changed?
You get to deduct any foreign tax paid from your US taxes, so unless you are working in some tax-free expat middle east job you don't actually pay any US taxes.
- if you are working in a tax-free middle east expat type job, then they normally pay your Panamanian holding company, which pays you in etc etc etc
And the people to go will probably be those they acquired - whose bosses don't have the political clout to protect their division.
So Altera is probably doomed - you buy them and the best people leave because they don't want to work for the new bosses, then you fire the rest, then you wonder why your $Bn acquire isn't doing as well as it was before you took over. So you write down loss as the goodwill - and look for the next outfit to buy.
"The point of the gold rings and so on is permanence and untarnished endurance. Pasta is no viable substitute. It mocks, it tastes great, but it doesn't last."
I'm guessing the correlation between "amount spent on traditional wedding" and "length of marriage" - isn't a positive number
I just had to throw away a bunch of front panels for a switch unit to be used in a doctors office where a patient's hand might come into "intermittent accidental contact" - because the factory couldn't trace the batch of anodize that was used to make it silver.
And yet BAE are allowed to just buy FPGAs on fsckin ebay to sue in a fscking plane !!!!
