If they can't verify it, pass that knowledge along to the user. Smartphones could easily show a trust banner for phone calls like browsers do for web sites. Most people rarely get random calls from outside the country, so it would be an immediate red flag.
To some extent, yes, there is a double standard. But consequences matter, too.
If you're texting while driving and a cop sees you, you get a ticket. If you're texting while driving and you run over a kid, you go to prison.
If you mishandle sensitive documents and your boss finds out, you get a reprimand. If you mishandle sensitive documents and they end up in Russia, you go to prison.
Is it fair? Not really, since the same negligence on your part can have vastly different punishments. But it is human nature, and the alternative can be draconian punishments for victimless 'crimes', like US drug laws.
A spokesman for the reef said the infusion of cash was most welcome and would help local coral diversify into new markets. GBRF closed up 11% on the day at $36.52, a new 52-week high.
As you can see, those 'highly unrealistic' 2025 standards ranged from 43 MPG for a subcompact to 23 MPG for a light truck.
If a vehicle does not meet that standard, the manufacturer is penalized $55 per mpg below the requirement. A $35,000 truck which only achieves 20.7 MPG (10% below the CAFE requirement) would incur a penalty of $126 -- 0.36% of the vehicle sales price.
...Which would, of course, be an unimaginable hardship for the manufacturer. Thank goodness we have Republicans to save the world from such a fate.
It's not an inherently bad sentiment. In fact, a few years ago everyone here were cheering Lavabit for practically the same message.
That said, context is everything. Since Facebook doesn't seem to care for their users beyond sticking them in a virtual approval bubble and selling their ad impressions, it's hard not to see this memo as anything but arrogant corporate greed regardless of the writer's intentions.
If the phone is under warranty Apple will replace the battery for free.
If it's out of warranty, Apple charges $79 to replace it. Granted, it should be $39 or $49, but it's not like people have no choice but to buy a new phone.
There are also plenty of third party batteries and iPhone repair kits so you replace your own, or offer the service at your shop. Granted, this would void the warranty, but devices under warranty would get free replacements from Apple anyway.
I'm 100% in favor of the right-to-repair laws; cracked glass, water damage, and hard-to-source parts could and should be replaceable by small shops for a fraction of what the OEMs charge. Many hardware failures could be fixed with a $0.50 component and a soldering iron instead of a $800 replacement logic board. But iPhone batteries seem an odd rallying cry for the movement.
I had a Dell monitor develop a similar issue. Dell UltraSharps are individually tested and calibrated so it wasn't malfunctioning at the factory, but after shipment it had a dodgy green column that would flicker on and off, especially when the monitor had been on for a length of time. Turned out to be a mechanical issue; the panel had shifted slightly in the monitor housing, and as the panel warmed up and expanded with use, the pressure was causing one of the column lines to short.
The problem could be similar here; thermal expansion and/or battery swelling may be causing pressure on the display. Since the display is held in place at the edges, the strain would be concentrated there, eventually causing a column line to short or separate.
1. Your company's code is your company's code. You don't get to hand it out. 2. What would be the point of showing them a page with a bunch of code written by some else?
Write your own code... an API, a full (simple) app, whatever. Document it well, attribute any help from others, put it on Github, host it somewhere like AWS, Google Cloud, or Heroku if you want 'live code'.
Protip: Laws tend to target behavior but not exact actions; we employ judges and concepts like animus nocendi to decide if actions are criminal or innocent. Otherwise, just as you say, people would find 'workarounds' for every law and spend their days creatively robbing and killing each other.
Gmail launched a few months after Gates's prediction, and within a couple years had pretty much solved the unsolicited spam problem by monitoring the flow of mass emails and crowdsourcing spam identification to users. Other email providers and spam filters followed suit. A 'solved problem' doesn't mean the problem doesn't exist anymore, it means that there are now solutions to said problem.
And re: search, you can't really fault him for supporting his own company.
That's ridiculous...in order to be detectible at this distance the beam would have to be incredibly coherent and collimated, like some kind of super-laser.
You're splitting hairs. Intrinsic rights don't exist; all rights are entitlements.
Thus, anything can become a right; it is up to society to decide which are beneficial to civilization and which are detrimental.
Terms like 'natural rights' are simply rhetorical devices indicating rights which are so fundamental to civil society that denying them would threaten the whole enterprise.
Clean water absolutely deserves to be a right anywhere sufficient infrastructure exists to provide it affordably. It's inarguable that potable water benefits civilization far more than it costs, unless you want to return to an era when cholera, typhoid, and dysentery were leading causes of death.
They already removed the button in last year's model. The iPhone 7 (and 8) have a touchID sensor on the lower bezel, but the home button itself has been replaced by haptic feedback.
I don't have any moral opposition to Face ID, just some practical arguments against it; more parts to fail than a Touch ID sensor, potential issues in direct sunlight, less convenient for quick payments, easier for an attacker to capture your face surreptitiously than your fingerprints.
In any event, Apple should give users the option of biometric + passcode to unlock the phone, not one or the other.
When message threads get flooded with posts echoing a single narrative with the same flawed arguments, I call it brigading because that's what it is: An attempt to artificially create a 'consensus' so that dissenters are not heard, dismissed as fringe elements, or discouraged to the point of self-censorship.
As far as the evidence goes, the blogger did good forensic work, but finding conclusions from something like this is a Rorschach test; it's easy to see what we want to see. We fall into logical fallacies, like "If I was Alice, I would choose to do X, Y, and Z. Because the attacker did not do X, Y, and Z, the attacker must not be Alice", then turn right around and commit more: "Because I can tweak my theory to fit most of the current evidence, it must be correct."
My personal take is that none of the evidence is sufficient proof of the "hacker's" identity, but whoever did it was quite lazy. If they were trying to hide their fingerprints, they did a singularly bad job of it. That by itself leans me slightly toward the 'Russia' theory: The DNC would have a lot more to lose if their supposed conspiracy (complete with murder) was unmasked, while Russia would lose nothing but a little international respect they didn't have to begin with. It would also be signature Putin, who has a history of dumping this kind of half-assed 'evidence' because it distracts an already polarized public and sets them to arguing with each other over facts and details. Then, in the confusion, Putin does whatever he wants. Remember the war in Ukraine?
Of course, it's pure conjecture, and I wouldn't put money either way. But I don't have to, because nobody is forcing us to accept a 'narrative'. There's an investigation in progress. It's non-partisan. The investigators have far more resources and access to far more information than some random blogger. Let them do their job, and when they present their case with all its evidence, decide for yourself.
If anyone is trying to force you to take sides now, it's probably because they're afraid of what will come out later.
I would never impugn The Nation, though I don't have to agree with every contributor.
Patrick Lawrence is the author of Somebody Else’s Century: East and West in a Post-Western World, Time No Longer: America After the American Century, and After Exceptionalism, and his columns for Salon and The Nation quite consistently praise the East and Russia and attack the West, Liberals, and "Imperialists" . From the initial reports of the DNC hack he's been putting out articles that it was an inside job and claiming the "RUSSIAN HACKER CONSPIRACY" was just an attempt by the DNC and Liberal elites to restart the Cold War in a new militarist Clinton administration.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course, and I don't attempt to discredit Mr. Lawrence. Western democracy has flaws, and it's important to have counterpoint and criticism. However, I feel he's somewhat too biased on this subject to take his claims at face value. Let the investigation run its course; don't jump to conclusions for the sake of talking heads.
176Mbps isn't implausible for an upload speed, either. Residential synchronous 1GBps+ fiber lines are not uncommon in cities; surely a ritzy hotel hosting VIPs would have a decent pipe. And as you said, the person on the other end would only need a halfway decent download speed.
176MBps is also not at all unreasonable for a cross-Atlantic connection, but hackers with any skill or resources would likely use a machine in the target country as a proxy for attacks, so it's not even relevant.
In other words, the speed doesn't say anything. It's certainly no proof of an 'inside job' like the alt-right brigading is trying to message.
Wild animals use a wide array of vocalizations. Animals raised by humans have a rather limited repertoire. I have a hard time believing any device could extract much more information from a bark or growl or meow or hiss than our own ears.

It's well known that Nature has a liberal bias. The journal, too.
Because of the math involved, CAFE standards =/= real MPG.

Because the creators can make more, and then they have cryptocurrency *and* dollars.
Also, like stocks and religion, the power of currency is equal to the number of people willing to hold it.

The temperature difference is an even bigger issue; it's hard to simulate a -50C environment when it's +50C outside.
