Attitudes to same-sex relationships have changed but there is still work to be done. In Australia we have the on-going fight for marriage equality and hate crimes against sexual minorities are still a fact of life in many countries. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Latrobe’s Law School and the Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, Michael Kirby talks from personal and professional experience about discrimination and sexual minorities.

The radio signals emitted by a commercial Wi-Fi router can act as a kind of radar, providing images of the transmitter’s environment, according to new experiments. Two researchers in Germany borrowed techniques from the field of holography to demonstrate Wi-Fi imaging. They found that the technique could potentially allow users to peer through walls and could provide images 10 times per second.

At first glance the reassembled gray blocks look like a nine-foot-long sculpture of a dinosaur. A bony mosaic of armor coats its neck and back, and gray circles outline individual scales. Its neck gracefully curves to the left, as if reaching toward some tasty plant. But this is no lifelike sculpture. It’s an actual dinosaur, petrified from the snout to the hips.

I feel honoured to have ‘met’ him and to have entertained him with my silly jokes. It was a privilege to have been given the opportunity to draw a picture for him, filled with ideas and memories from those who knew and loved him best.

This is a generation of kids so numb to seeing videos of police beating, tasering, shooting, and otherwise applying the power of the state to unarmed and almost inevitably black or Hispanic men that they legitimately could not understand why a video of cops beating up a black guy (who didn’t even die for pete’s sake!) was shocking enough to cause a widespread breakdown of public order.

That allows the attacker to direct a target’s text messages to another device, and, in the case of the bank accounts, steal any codes needed to login or greenlight money transfers (after the hackers obtained victim passwords).

There are numerous indications that the applicative style of programming can become more powerful than the von Neumann style. Therefore it is important for programmers to develop a new class of history-sensitive models of computing systems that embody such a style and avoid the inherent efficiency problems that seem to attach to lambda-calculus based systems.

The majority of actions to address inequity in STEM are potentially flawed in that they assume a baseline respect for people from diverse backgrounds.

Not knowing what else to do, she and Simon called the police. To the Vickers’s surprise, officers at Dorset HQ volunteered to work during their breaks and free time, hoping to use their forensic tools to help. And, five months later, the police reported back with success: they recovered the never-written words.

Because this government would NEVER share the confidential data of a private citizen who threatens their stance, like, say when MP Tudge released the Centrelink data of Ms Andy Fox last month when she criticised faulty data-matching robo-debts?

If you end up in quicksand, don’t panic. Quicksand is denser than a human, which means that, at the worst, you won’t sink in much further than your waist

Over the last few years, human technology has explored further into the Solar System than ever before. Here are some of the most spectacular images sent back.

Unsurprisingly, the petitioner concluded his submissions by citing Magna Carta (version not identified).

Jim Kovaleski is a nomadic gardener — he refers to what he does as “portable farming” at one point — who moves from place to place, renting out people’s yards to grow produce, which he then sells to stores and markets.

While different in appearance, each dataset has the same summary statistics (mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s correlation) to two decimal places.
