They will probably try honeypots and informers and relax the entrapment rules. Need to be careful they do not end up propping up all the terrorist groups with different branches of British 'intelligence' groups... Or maybe they have learnt from past experience.

In the UK or at least the north of Ireland 20 years ago it was illegal to have information useful to terrorists. It is information crime. (It was usually used if the victim was also being prosecuted for membership of the IRA.)

Anything I can drill into on bipolar. Treatment, outcome and quality of life. I came across this https://blog.23andme.com/23andme-research/what-patients-say-... in 2013. Most studies are qualitative not quantitative and the data is not released.

Sqlcl connects to more databases than usql readme declares.

Usql requires go. Sqlcl is currently 12mb.

Biased towards oracle SQL. I can check it out it was mostly for migration to Oracle Database.

Re:Usql – A universal command-line interface for SQL databases on Friday March 03, 2017 @05:31AM (#13781928)

Oracle sqlcl and sqldeveloper has/had multiple SQL support. You have to use a hint on occasion and it is biassed

Dublin Ireland (English speaking) has 2 top 200 universities. University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin (also called University of Dublin). With a student visa you can work in a job 20 hrs a week, 40 hrs in the summer. Funding will be hard enough for PhD, a fair number of people do Masters. USA software companies employ many people in Dublin (for when you finish/get a full work visa). USA software companies are in Dublin for tax reasons. If you (about 5 years if you are lucky) later get Irish citizenship you can work anywhere in the EU (European Union). Dublin does not compete favourably with top US destinations, but competes favourably with USA destinations outside the top 5 softare cities (and other European cities) marginal top rate income tax taxation pretty high, accommodation cost high. Toleration of other nationalities pretty good except for a small 'immigrants stealing our jobs' minority, immigration pretty recent (due to economic boom 1998 to 2008), generally from new in 2004 EU states (Poland, Latvia, Lithuania as no visa now required) and from India for software engineers.
