Advice in this article seems to only marginally apply to someone whose measure of success is in an artistic field. You can't get the same marginal returns as the article talks about. Also you're both competing with others for reader's attention, but not competing with anyone, as your stories can only be made by you.
What are the legal consequences if the records have been destroyed? And the reporter will answer any questions, but there are no notes, files, recordings, etc? Surely "contempt of court" isn't a life sentence?
If the records are willfully destroyed by the reporter, the government could choose to file charges that go beyond "contempt of court" — Canadian law defines a "terrorist offence" to include, among others, accessory after the fact. The prosecution would presumably then need to demonstrate that the reporter knowingly hindered the prosecution of a terrorist and that this fits the available laws. Also, destroying one's records to protect one's own reputation as a reporter might well qualify as "for personal gain", further worsening their chances of having a plausible defense.
(d) a conspiracy or an attempt to commit, or being an accessory after the fact in relation to, or any counselling in relation to, an offence referred to in paragraph (a), (b) or (c);
Would this apply if the reporter had destroyed the data prior to the government request? What about in the case where such a destruction were a condition set by the terrorist in order to proceed with the interview?
2-5 years in Canada it seems for civil contempt. In the US it can be indefinite though. To be held in civil contempt you are supposed be able to free yourself by simply complying. If complying is not possible you can generally make a impossibility defense. The court should allow you free if it cannot be proved to the standard of clear and convincing evidence that you have the ability to comply.
I think it's what the above poster was specifically asking. Is this safe for the crows? It's a cute circus trick, but has anyone checked that it's actually safe for them?
That happens in San Francisco, too. You'll on occasion even see someone on the local public transit with a big trash bag full of bottles. I guess they're on their way to a redemption center for the deposit.
Comments and feedback won't work for a site with a lot of readers or viewers, they don't scale. If just 20k people read your post, and one-quarter of them comment, you'll be flooded and not able to find anything meaningful. I'm already following some YT channels where the creator(s) has stated, "we can't read the comments, requests here are ignored."
YT comments simply suck in any area. Creators can’t make polls, sorting seems random, upvoting has no filters like funny/insightful at least. Moderation seems to not exist at all. No groups, no sections (those 4-5 in sidebar do not count). It is worst implementation of all possible, and YT does nothing to fix it for decades. They have time to make “material designs” though. If you imagine that videos are just OPs in a forum, you’ll see how crappy it is.
Good uplifting answer. But it is for what can lead to a hobby, rather than a career. Even certificates from MOOCs won't lead to a job in science, researcher or not.

That depends on how tightly you define "science". If you mean "science in traditional academia, working for/at a major research university or research consortium" then you are almost certainly correct. But if you expand the definition to include the corporate world, and roles that maybe aren't pure research, then I would argue that you can get a job doing science with less "paper credentials" than one might expect.
Whether or not that would/could apply to anything related to QC, I'm not sure, as I don't work in (or even really near) the QC domain. But to pick one example: in terms of machine learning / AI, I've definitely seen it. But maybe AI/ML is an exception to everything else just because it is (at the present) such an empirical / observation / experiment based domain.
Outside of all of that is the notion of "create your own job". If you want to be a researcher in Field X, start a company related to Field X and hire yourself. And, no, I don't intend that to be a glib answer, and I certainly acknowledge that it A. isn't easy, and B. is probably harder / easier in some domains than in others.
As for "careers in science", what can someone later in life (I just turned 60, can't believe it) still do? I have a CS degree from ages ago, and have a scientific mindset (runs in my family, e.g., my sister was a research scientist [mathematician] before retirement). I don't want to retire anytime soon. But I'm unlikely to get into grad school. I can take MOOCs of course, and do. My interest in science tends toward neurology and embodiment.
I admire your determination to start a scientific career at age sixty! I once faced the "converse" problem---how to start doing research at age 14 or 15, before I'd found any mentor to help me---and it was one of the great revelations of my life that, at least in theoretical fields, the barriers standing in the way are more internal than external. So long as you have the time, and enough income to live off, you can start reading textbooks and arXiv papers. You can email the authors your questions. You can go to conferences, with or sometimes without registering (just don't tell anyone I said so ;-) ). You can sit in on classes at a nearby university (ask the professor; most are fine with it). You can talk to the professors. You can start working on a problem that interests you. If you get somewhere, you can write it up and submit it to a conference or journal. You can offer your services as a research assistant. The gates are open.
Of course there's a chicken-and-egg problem here, where the stronger your research record, the more busy researchers will want to talk to you, and the more they'll talk to you, the stronger you'll be able to make your record. Just like with dating or anything else, I guess, it does take persistence to break this cycle. :-)
And of course, you'll need to be considerate of people's time, and you'll need to decline to take it personally if some people are too busy to answer you. Just plow ahead and ask others.
Lastly, let me strongly suggest finding some other people who started their research careers later in life, and asking their advice. They'll surely be able to think of things I didn't!
Now that the city is occupied by the Turks, why haven't they used it? It's a bit late now (and many buildings are no doubt no longer safe), but why didn't they use it then? There's a lot of investment in the structures in the city.
Turkish never intended to use the city, actually army didn't want to push this far neither. When they were able to, they just wanted to use Varosha as a bargaining chip to keep Turkish population in north safe in the negotiations -since city was important for Greek Cypriots-
How well does this play with Electron (http://electron.atom.io/ ) as a front-end? I didn't find that many references to it (mostly questions about putting them together).
