A federal court will never threaten an individual or demand the immediate payment -- either over the telephone or money wire service -- for fines or for not responding to a jury summons, the court stated.
On the other hand, state courts, esp. those who sold the rights to collect those fines to private companies, absolutely will. I think John Oliver had a section on it, but the first hit is apparently (the timelier/promoted) video of Samantha Bee.
It was long enough ago that he assumed it would be printed in the hardcopy newspaper and forgotten. The DMCA passed in 1998. (Actually, Google postdates the DMCA, so it may not have existed yet.)
Yes, this is not Google's fault.
But the point remains. Google is scarier than the NSA. They collect more data, they have less oversight on retention and exploitation, and if you're frightened of the NSA, Google has no pesky "privacy rights" that cover the data they have about you
, One government's "surveillance" does not necessarily equate to another government's "surveillance".
Very true. And TFA doesn't find a link between surveillance and self-censorship. It finds a link between surveillance of certain types and self-censorship.
I'd also hope that the bank doesn't record the pin in any plain text (if indeed it does) and again just uses it to confirm a hashed text decrypts.
You know it's a four digit PIN. Hashing it would I suppose prevent accidental compromise. But the time it takes to hash all 10k combinations is subseconds.
He's making a ton of money, while saying that people are overpaying him for crap he bought earlier for less. Of course, he's still selling it to them.
I consider it the equivalent of the poker pro telling everyone he makes a living at this and (some standing backing that up) when he sits down at the table. Just fair warning that someone is going to lose money, and he has the skills for it not to be him.
He's hoping a lot. That address was specifically set up to gather live e-mail addresses for spamming. Email addresses for technical people, so obviously the spam will be about new languages and articles by that Branson? guy who used to use the/. frontpage as his personal blog..
But honestly, I don't see why you need a system of that sort in a system where you don't get to pick your numbers anyway.
Same reason that they put silver stuff on the payout information on scratchers. If you cna buy a ticket from someone who can already know if it is a winner or a loser, teh customer has to assume the clerk already looked at it, and is only selling the losers. The only two ways to counteract that are (a) have it not be knowable at the time of sale (powerball) or (b) have it obviously be uncheckable at the time of sale (silver scratchoff or see it get printed in front of you.)
FB and other SM outlets want you at home on FB/SM. Not turning off your device and getting out of the the house. If that takes making you depressed, well...
Sure, it'd be nice... for you. There are a lot of users who may not have understood the setting. As a general rule in software development, punting a technical decision to a user is wrong.
Now, maybe they should have asked "are you on an unlimited plan" and used that to control the quality. And have some hidden information so those people who really want to see X at high-def can. That could work. But how many customers does that affect, vs. other improvements.
See also, the T-mobile BingeOn plan. Everything was fully disclosed, and people lost their shit over things that were opt-in and in their own best interest anyway.
What does a creative person even contribute to most problems. 99% of the time, the only thing creative is a the problem description. Maybe, maybe, a novel approach to fix it, but that's really just an idea. Everyone knows that if I say ideas are a dime a dozen, I'm way overvaluing an idea.
And that creativity seems completely orthogonal to fine art skills. Or any art skills.
The problem that I have is that someone is being accused of something he supposedly did outside the U.S. but is being forcibly brought to the U.S.
He did it in the US (that's where the servers responding to his orders were). He was in England at the time. See also, why you can get extradited if you stand on the other side of the border while using a sniper rifle.
A small hedge fund may have 100-300M AUM. Their commission will run something like 3% + 5% of profits (so lets call it 4%). That's 4M - 12M in commissions.
Further, that hedge fund will voluntarily close, refusing to take more assets in, because hiring the extra people to do the extra management results in less dollars.
Also, you assume all $8M goes to the manager or 3. There's a lot of overhead/dealing with customers. And it takes more than 3 people to maneuver 1B+ dollars.
s. A really good trader who can make higher profit percentage will of course make alot more money trading with $100 billion than trading with $10 million.
Assuming facts not in evidence. Vangard funds charge a lower rate. And, IIRC those much bigger funds have many more people to split up the commissions between.
Sure, if the order is sitting out there for weeks, that makes sense, For nanoseconds, not so much. We could only allow orders to be cancelled after the market is closed for the day, for instance.
I think that you misunderstand. When i say my modem, I mean, I bought it from a 3rd. party. I administer it. I'm not aware, of the top of my head, of any missing features.
Maybe if you want an integrated landline or something?
If you want to know your milk is about to expire in your fridge, or turn your dryer on to fluff your clothes from your phone, then know the risks.
But the risk is only because these stupid things are connected to the Internet. There's no reason they cannot use Bluetooth or similar. Connect to your cellphone when it is in range.

Chrome has an option not to send info to Google (is it respected?). And you can hide your google searches by using a variant like startpage.
And MS didn't start that til Windows 10. Although, people have collectively lost their shit over Windows 10 (correctly so).

You do know it was from a review, not a salespitch... right?
Hi, I've tried it. I prefer playing on monitors. That is all.

It depends what you mean by "create" Enough to describe it to a person? The patent office? A computer? Enough to round out the edge cases?

Why is the ability to cancel an order important?
The fact that it is both hard and carries risk does not imply it should be compensated or legal.
I think that you misunderstand. When i say my modem, I mean, I bought it from a 3rd. party. I administer it. I'm not aware, of the top of my head, of any missing features.

See also, 3rd party cable boxes. It's the law.
I've always owned my modem. In fact, I think it is federal law (in the US, which almost certainly means it must be in the EU as well)
But you can easily use a downstream router to accomplish the same plan, even if you don't own the modem.
