Something may well need to be done, but the ball is in the newspaper's court. If they produce news articles that are interesting for more than one paragraph, they will get ad impressions. If they're just re-stating what another news agency already said, what good are they and why do they expect money for that?
What happened to newspapers that actually dug for real news, even exclusives? Back in the day when they prided themselves over how many times their reporters were thrown out, beaten up, or otherwise obviously displeased someone by reporting on actual news that people didn't know about yet?
How about at least a cursory judicial review before the defendant is notified. If the suit can't win on it's face the defendant never has to even hear about it. For example because it's allegations are absurd, not in the court's jurisdiction, or even if true it creates no liability for the defendant.
Consider it this way, the court used it's full weight and power to command Copperfield to answer to utter nonsense. In fact, the court should not have brought it's weight to bear unless the judge was fully prepared for the possibility that he would one day soon tell a throng of press that the plaintiff was, in fact, the alpha and the omega and that Copperfield had stolen God's divine power AND that the court now considered itself to have jurisdiction over all major and minor deities.
More that some people think certs are magic. They figure "just use a cert" and all is well without a single thought to setting up or maintaining an internal CA and properly securing the signing keys.
That and somehow thinking that identities in run of the mill certs are somehow incontrovertible facts rather than understanding that the identity is no stronger than the verification procedures of the weakest trusted CA.
My personal complaint about them is the screwy storage formats for the things.
David copperfield was sued by a man claiming to be God for theft of divine power. I kid you not. The fact that it got far enough that Copperfield had to actually respond to it shows significant dane brammage in the legal system.
As I said before, those who really can't come up with anything else could always use the default manufacturer server and hope they never decide it's not profitable and shut it down. But if they do, perhaps some value can be saved by switching to the private server or USB option.
Of course, the first time a crazy stalker gets at the live data and kills someone, there will be a lot of people ready to consider private server or USB options.
Likewise if a group of burglars start using Nest data to decide when nobody is home.
People put cool stuff on the net before there was even a such thing as web advertising. People put stuff up when web advertising was just a static image with no tracking.
They will continue to put cool stuff on the net even after advertisers realize that tracking is dead.
There are many good applications for a device generating energies in the 4Gev range, but for things like finding Higgs, it's not even close. Some things just have to have full power. Many other things surrounding it are there because they can benefit from the essentially free excess of particles.
It is good to be able to turn the logging to 11 in some cases, but routine idling is probably not that case. Keeping 16 hours worth of it in the absence of a problem is almost certainly excessive. Probably, the log display app should default to a severity above debug.
Exactly my point. However small the chance that I will spot and fix a flaw in Free Software, the odds are better than that I will find and fix a bug in proprietary software where I am not even allowed to look at the source.
So, you go jogging every day for a year. One day you get mugged in the park and the one thing you are worried about is you lost the record of half of your jog?
But at the same time it wasn't important enough to ask your friend to get his computer genius nephew to set up a way for you to transmit the data live to a private server?
I guess you'll be devastated when the company announces, OOOPS, we lost all your data, please see page 527 paragraph 72 line 8 (yes, the one in a 1 pt font.) (yes, yes, the bit in Swahili) where we disclaim all responsibility.
Your solution is to pre-emptively submit to the yoke of slavery in order to be free. Maybe massah won't whip you too hard.
I choose to suggest that we all point and laugh at 'authorities' who wet their pants in public.
We live in an era where they wet their pants over lite-brite and led lapel pins. You aren't going to restore their continence by suggesting crazy levels of regulation.
Perhaps the best bet is to create a few fake news stories about terrorists eating eggs and beans then farting in public to keep their minds occupied while people try hard to remember that we are the home of the brave.
Since the code that had the vulnerability was originally reference code, it is quite possible (but not known) that proprietary implementations also have the bug.
I haven't heard of any ISP that is using carrier grade NAT TODAY that isn't also handing out v6 prefixes.
I suggested that a VM is one of several options a user might take. Perhaps one of a group of friends might set it up. I also suggested USB cable plugged in to a PC but you ignored that because you couldn't think of anyone incapable of taking that option who could manage to strap a watch on in the first place.
Actually, with decent VCRs, a 1st generation copy was hard to tell from the original (though a second generation copy was noticeable). Macrovision didn't actually work on a lot of VCRs (I owned several over the years and none of them were bothered by Macrovision). For those that were, you could easily get a 'video stabilizer' to get 'the best viewing quality'.
BTW, Ishtar was released on DVD everywhere but North America. But if you don't mind defeating the region codes, I see that the Italian version has an English sountrack in Dolby surround (also German, Italian, French, and Spanish).
That is not just an over-reaction, it is approaching wet pants. Care to point to any actual collision at all anywhere involving a drone and a larger aircraft? Anything? Anywhere in the world? Ever? How many died?
I would guess that there have been many more lawn-mower related accidents (and that DOES include fatalities) yet mowing the lawn requires no license, equipment inspection, club membership, or insurance.
I know how frequency hopping works. I also know that the more you boost the radio, the easier it is to track it. Further, I know that unless you also boost the radio on the drone itself, there's no use for the boosted controller since you won't have any way to fly the drone.
So again, track the transmitter and fine the idiot. Jam the signal and capture the drone when it lands/crashes to the ground. Sell it at auction as-is.
What ISPs NAT? I do my own NAT on IPv4 and since my ISP hands me a v6 prefix, I just filter.
Failing that, I would rather buffer it and transfer by USB when I get home. Or, rent a VM for next to nothing a month. If worst comes to worst, emailing it to myself comes to mind.
In other words, pretty much anything but storing it on the manufacturer's server.
They can always offer the use of their server for people with no other options or who just don't care.

Try reading that without hearing it in the voice of a half-wit. It can't be done.
So you're saying you read that aloud and heard the voice of a half-wit? Imagine that!
Loss of revenue 20 years ago cannot be blamed on the net. In 1994, it was mostly college students on the net.
But by that point, quality was already shot with a lot of papers reduced to wire service articles and who-shot-who.

Then there's Paul McCartney and Wings counting on the Mondegreen for Helen Wheels.
Unless the page was designed by one of those obsessive every pixel exactly the way *I* want it and screw the reader, a wide web page re-flows nicely.

I'm guessing that was not actually the case :-)

Does the argument change that much if they order a person from the German branch to travel to America to rummage through the deposit box?

The entire cost of the Iraq war should be billed to him personally as an odious debt.
It's the return of MS Squeegee Guy, only it's not a joke this time.
There is a such thing as excessive logging. Often it can actually cause you to miss important events in the noise. Just imagine:
Cylinder 1 fired, Exhaust valve 2 opened, intake valve4 opened, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ad nausium, engine on fire, blah, blah, blah, shutup compression filter,blah, blah, blah, blah, blah blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, relax will ya? blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, get over it, blah, blah, stupid filters are stupid, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

It is better because the bugs are more likely to be found and fixed. Note that more likely is not at all the same as 100% likely.
