This new memristor mimics the activity of neural networks, but can be thrown into water and dissolved if data is at risk of falling into the wrong hands Melts in your glass, not in your computer?
I really fail to see the use they describe here, but perhaps as a cheaper method of generating memristors?
Assuming you want memristors?

I can just see the next Hollywood movie -- John Travolta, Tom Cruise, and Keanu Reeves team up in a post-apocalyptic global warming world where all the ocean water has evaporated and they're in a desperate race to mine some water on the moon with the help of Daniel Craig (who's character owns the moon) so they can destroy the memristors that an evil Patrick Stewart and Arnold Schwarzenegger are trying to use to dominate Mars. Sandra Bullock and Sigourney Weaver save the day by contacting an alien race, warping gravity, injecting a combat AI into the "net", and crashing spaceships that look oddly like cruise ships into Mars.

Companies could face fines if they fail to take down content quickly. Can we call it "Brinternet"?
"Internexit?"
"The Great Wall of May?"

I wouldn't worry, they'll set a tiny budget for it, whilst at the same time making working in IT in the public sector completely unattatractive then wonder why it's taken 10 years too long and run out of money, and then try and find a way to make the online behemoths fund it.

Strange that nobody sees to whom such regulations are a problem.
Facebook, Twitter & Co? Nope. They are big enough to afford some call centers somewhere round the world, having someone working at any time, so they can cope with removing said content within a few hours (even minutes).
But any provider of a small forum? No, they'll fail!
And that's it: such regulations deter small providers, and enhance oligopolies / monopolies. Great achievement!
Oh sanctissimi Wilhelmus, Theodorus, et Fredericus!

Which is why companies like Twitter and Facebook want this kind of regulation - it's a way of eliminating the competition.

The tyranny is in the ambiguity. It's a case of rule by fear rather than rule by specification. Simply make vague threats and rely on people being too scared to do anything.
The sad truth is that the UK is so tied up in the great financial suicide "debate" that its failing government is getting away with murder on all sorts of other issues.

"Ambiguity" is exactly the problem. And a max of 4% of revenues as a fine? Good luck with that....
But you are right, they will go after the smaller sites, set examples. What a joke. How do these people take themselves seriously?

It's defining "harmful" that's problematic.
I'm sure Adolf, Joe, ZeDong, and Pot could have helped with that, if they were still alive.
Mind you, the guys who are ruling May's ears are pretty much the same, so what could possibly go wrong?

Nothing surprising there.
When I bought a new router, recently, I plugged it in, wired it up, walked over to the KVM to configure it... And couldn't log in because someone was already logged in.
The external cable was whipped out so fast that the plastic plug melted!

Wow. I'm in these tiny (but special!) groups:
Years Since Learning to Code: 40 to 44 years 1.0%
Years Coding Professionally: 35 to 39 years 0.7%
Age: 55 to 59 years 1.2%

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing.
I'm just a few years behind you.
I also noticed that only like 4% of devs over 50. I guess we're special.
Or, most devs just get sick of it by this age.

Did they take into account when someone has as much experience as you do....you might not need stackoverflow as much? Thus, you aren't actually answering the survey. Skewed results.

Are you kidding? I use SO multiple times a day, particularly when working with Javascript, but C# too, usually for arcane LINQ expressions. Today I was perusing extracting table and column information from SQL Server, SO was quite helpful.

I love this one
Are you the IT support person for your family
- Yes
- SIGH
- Also yes
- Fortunately, someone else has that title
I'm fortunate, a tech savvy uncle has that title
I'd expected the answer "IntPtr" or something for the question "What's your Handle?"
VB(.NET) isn't in the most dreaded languages, but VBA is on top (I guess they're considered the same?)
Crystal Reports is missing from the list, which must mean they're losing market share
Clojure and F# may pay well... If you manage to find a job!
Interesting survey, as always!
