Generally speaking, no competent genealogical DNA analysis...
Hmmm, according to the Houston Chronicle that's going to be a problem:
Scores of pending criminal cases and past convictions could be in jeopardy in the wake of revelations that a former Houston Police crime lab technician resigned after an internal investigation found evidence of lying, improper procedure and tampering with an official record.
Sci-Hub, a site that provides open access to scientific research papers...
stolen access != open access
One could make a good argument that those research papers should be open access since many of them are funded directly or indirectly by governments. However, those papers are not open access. Stealing might make them free as in beer, but it does not make them free as in freedom.
That's a pretty big jump. Groovy is a well-thought-out language and nicely facilitates writing clean, readable, compact code (especially compared to Java). However, it needs a better framework than Grails (85% really good convention over configuration stuff but 15% convoluted j2ee era framework stuff).
I (foolishly perhaps) insisted that I didn't need to prove I wasn't a resident...
Innocent until proven guilty!!! Oh wait, this is not a criminal matter (at least not yet!). You (and your employer, investment broker, etc) provide documentation so the FTB can verify you paid the correct amount of taxes. Lots of people fraudulently claim residence where they don't actually live in order to avoid paying taxes. People in the FTB may or may not be jerks, but are they supposed to just let everyone claim anything they want without documentation and then pay whatever taxes they choose? For the record, I hate paying taxes (but I like the protection provided by our tax-funded military).
The Ponte Morandi bears the name of its designer: Riccardo Morandi
"Bridges by Morandi have proved to require extensive maintenance and repairs over the years to pass bridge safety inspections. The third span of Ponte Morandi collapsed in Genoa, on 14 August 2018, causing 43 fatalities."
Victims receive a file named "video_xxxx.zip" from one of their Facebook Messenger contacts. Opening it will load Chrome along with a malicious browser extension.
How does opening a.zip run the contents? Does the user also have to run the i-know-you-want-to-double-click-me.exe file?
Everyone at my work uses Bluetooth headsets even though we all have 3.5mm jacks on our Macs (and some mobile devices). When given a choice in the real world, 3.5mm goes unused. If simultaneous charging is truly your important use case, just keep your Bluetooth headset plugged in while you wear it (or don't get an iPhone 7). The improved battery life and waterproofing of the iPhone 7 are far more important to most people.
If the question is how much should I beat the customer over the head, the answer is none.
However, the question is wrong. The really question is how can my licensing mechanism best help legitimate customers track their licenses and stay compliant within the licensing agreement. The customers you want have no desire to steal your software, but they'll get annoyed if you make it laborious to maintain license compliance.
Forget about the people who want to pirate your software. You add no value to your product when you waste time on them.
When I first read about Obama's MySpace fight, it looked like Joseph Anthony had been wronged. After all he did create and maintain the MySpace account. Then I noticed the name of the profile. The profile name is not "PasadenaForObama" or "ObamaFans". The profile name is "BarackObama". Anthony knew (or should have known) that his claim to ownership of the profile would always be weak to nonexistent. The amount of time and effort he spent working on the account is irrelevant.
The Obama campaign is not without fault, though. They should have never even solicited a financial offer from Anthony. Instead, the campaign should have offered signed books, buttons, shirts, and a handwritten thank you letter from Obama himself.
As a contributor to the Obama campaign myself, I would have been annoyed to see my cash pay for Obama to purchase his own name. I am disappointed that the Obama campaign made the mistake of solicited an offer, but the bottom line is that Anthony was not wronged.

Have we solved this problem yet?

But now what? Looks like they just added to the mass of the trash.
Oh, you thought this was to clean up space junk?

> âoeachieve a 40 percent reduction in the amount of energy used for coolingâ Yeah, right. Seems unlikely unless they are also using blockchain.
I'm torn... what's more evil? Patent trolls extorting licensing fees for general purpose obvious technologies or Groupon's business model?
I wonder how FMC feels about a Chinese company using its name.
The Federal Maritime Commission is furious.

I pay my taxes. If you don't pay your taxes, you're stealing from me.

the iPhone 7 already has wired headphones:

They use the Lightning connector (not a 3.5mm jack), but it won't make much difference unless you need to charge at the same time.
