One of the most controversial provisions of the Act allows the government to force communication service providers like ISPs and mobile carriers to store the Internet Connection Records (ICRs) of users for 12 months. If you're in the UK and would like to know the contents of this blurb, ask your MP

Which is leading to quite the slippery rope.
UK porn surfers are now going to have to register to access porn.

I'll be investing in an offshore VPN account.
Not that I have anything in particular to hide, but I just think this one is horrible. I do not see, for example, why the following all need to access this information to combat terrorism.
I predict a serious data breach by February.

Like many things, DevOps works until it doesn't. The problem is that when DevOps fails, that failure is spectacular and is often company ending.
Every time I read a story of a DevOps success, it;s really clear that the biggest advantage was gained in simply getting rid of layers of bureaucracy.

A team of scientists and researchers from various institutions made a controversial claim that shakes all conventional knowledge of space and time. They say that there are parallel universes with multiple timelines. If this claim is indeed real, then time travel is a possibility. My great-great grandson just showed up and said, "No it isn't"
|
|
|
|
|
A) No.
B) That's not time travel.
C) Don't give me "possible"; give me "achievable".

Depends on how you define time travel. If as a strict movement against the flow of time in your specific space then yes, that is not time travel. If as a relative movement against time then maybe it is. If you perceptually move from current-day to a parallel world which in every way and molecule resembles 1986 you have effectively gone back 30 years for all purposes perceivable to you.

what do you expect from a site that spends ~4x as much space on clickbait and filler UI as on content.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This isn't a theory, it's a hypothesis. That the professors don't know the difference is both astonishing and, I think, very revealing.

I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

TensorFlow was originally developed by Google engineers and researchers to develop machine learning and deep neural networks research. Good? I guess? If your machine needs some learning?

Given the significant innovation in design tools and software development infrastructure, this type of coding is going to look dramatically different in the future. I thought VB settled that discussion years ago?

No need to think, young developer
CASE (Computer Aided Software Engineering) tools are here to stay! 
I only use my mouse for software development. Just drag and drop and a few clicks and a new OS.
