You do realize that IBM really is an international company and has a lot of US employees don't you? If they hired only American workers, using your logic, every other country would refuse to let IBM sell products in their country
What products would that be, exactly? IBM hasn't made anything worthwhile in a decade. They're strictly a "business solutions" firm shitting out half-working software that costs too much and covers too little of anyone's use case.
I had an old JVC rear CRT projection TV that had an elaborate procedure you had to follow if you disassembled it (to prevent it from wiping the HDCP software when exposed to light.)
That "elaborate procedure" was "turn off single light in basement".
The problem here is that bilkcoin has no elasticity mechanism, because of its die-hard libertarian economic philosophy.
Currencies like the dollar use elasticity (money creation) to deal with such crises.
I wouldn't consider an exchange stealing money from idiots a crisis that would merit devaluing the currency for everyone (while letting the exchange keep their ill-gained profits). And guess what - no one else with a brain would either. That's why everyone fucking hated the bank bail outs.

There is an adage that if something appears too good to be true then it usually is too good to be true. Especially concerned as to the absence of explanation for the Mt.Gox collapse: never a good sign
Mt. Gox collapsed because they had fewer Bitcoins than the sum of all the balances of the accounts.
Imagine if Mt. Gox had 25 BTC, but they had 5 users total with a balance of 10 BTC each. That's a total balance of 50 BTC, which is double what MT. Gox actually has. That's Bad News Bears (Walter Matthau).
Mt. Gox got in that position because the people running it were stupid. A commonly cited reason is the recent "attack" exploited a flaw in their software. Bitcoin transactions have an ID associated with them, but this ID can be changed. It is NOT an ID you want to use if you want to track a transaction. Mt. Gox and some other exchanges / pools relied on this ID, and some people were exploiting this by claiming that a transaction was not credited when it really was. When Mt. Gox / the pool looked shit up by the ID they'd see the user was right and they would credit them again. Of course, this "attack" was obvious to anyone with a brain, and even the morons without a brain figured out something was up when it happened a second or third time. But Mt. Gox did NOT go down because of this "attack". Mt. Gox went down because they spent (or stole) more than they took in through fees, plain and simple.
then i would wait a month or so when they were no longer avaialable, and resell them but at a higher price. see, when they're available then you can buy the same price anywhere so why pay more? but when they're unavaialbe you have to take the asking price or take a poop on the sidewalk.
How are you supposed to buy things from online stores with gold? File off some shavings into an envelope and mail order stuff from online? Are we really going to all carry gold and silver coins in our pockets when we go shopping?
Gold isn't really useful as a currency if it is just sitting in a vault.
You don't have to transfer actual gold, you can transfer a note backed by a bank or government that guarantees a fixed amount of gold. Such a note can be exchanged physically, or electronically if it's held by a reputable 3rd party (such as a bank or a government) under an account in one's name. OH WAIT I JUST DESCRIBED UNITED STATES DOLLARS ON THE GOLD STANDARD
They aren't arguing that they own the IP. They are arguing that if IP has the same protections as real products then there should be a tariff because the out-sourcer is being subsidized by their home country to make the work cheaper for international customers then domestic. I don't know the validity of that argument so don't flame interpreter.
The point is that they can cry all they want, they are completely dependent on the movie studios for their continued existence. The movie studios would rather deal with paying tariffs (and fighting and bribing to get them reduced or removed) than they would deal with American VFX shops. American VFX shops have zero leverage, just as manufacturing jobs for all American industries had zero leverage.
Huh? What does IP ownership have to do with it? The idea is to put a tariff on the outsourced work so it's more expensive, thus eliminating the financial benefit for the MPAA..
The point is they have no power. The movie studios own the golden goose (the IP). If US VFX shops cry foul, so what? If tariffs are put in place, so what? The price of a movie ticket will simply go up to ensure movie studios get the same profits until such a time that the movie studios draft their own legislation and buy enough of their own congress critters to get the situation back under their control. The same thing has played out in every industry we've shipped over seas. Those in control kill off American jobs because American labor is too expensive. Regulations, taxes, tariffs, whatever don't do anything to stop it because once they actually become effective, the industry bribes politicians to get shit dialed back a few notches.
Read the submission. It is long and the meat is at the end.
The Obama administration refused to use laws related to subsidized imports to stop off-shoring. Now the visual artists have some real legal ground to stand on to compel the administration to stop or tariff subsidized overseas work.
Read my post. It is short and the meat of it is in your face. Those with the cash will control the flow of cash. Taxes, tariffs, laws, etc. mean nothing. If some agency or politician tries to do something about it, they're simply outspent by those with the cash. For reference, see all the jobs the US has bled away to 3rd world nations over the past century, and where all the profits went.
The VFX shops don't own the IP of the shit they work on any more than American factories own the brand/design/etc. to whatever they build. Work will be farmed out as usual, and only those with $BIGBUCKS$ will control the flow of work.
Then you have to factor in that this material will be the strongest material used in space to date; it should be quite resistant to those effects.
I don't have the numbers handy, but I'm thinking the ribbon material is a couple orders of magnitude at best stronger than conventional materials, while impact energy is MANY orders of magnitude higher than the "strength" in question.
To put it another way, if an impact dumps enough energy to raise several cubic millimeters of material to a five-figure Kelvin temperature, the "material strength" becomes somewhat irrelevant. Vapor/plasma doesn't resist tension very well.
In fact, I'd think that stronger materials would receive more transferred energy from an impactor as it's punching through. You'd just have to count on having enough material left to hold things together.
Correct. Stronger materials are worse in structure impact scenarios because they transfer nearly all of the energy to the structure. You need flexible materials, a non-rigid design, and break-away failure modes. This all then necessitates a very redundant (and thus large) structure. If your carbon nanotube cable/ribbon takes a high-energy impact, the issue isn't the entire cable/ribbon surviving, it's preventing the energy from transferring to the structure (the anchors and the payload). I say build it with 3 times as many cables as needed, and install electronic sensors to measure impacts on each cable. When a sensor detects an impact, it can signal to the anchors to cut its cable. Since the cable isn't perfectly solid, the sensor has a good chance of telling the anchors to cut the cable before the energy from the impact reaches the anchor. The cable becomes slack and can't transfer the impact energy to the structure in anywhere near as direct a fashion as if had remained under tension by both anchors. You could incorporate this into the elevator car, too, so it has the option of cutting a cable. You just need to have sensors spaced strategically so you can reliably signal and execute the cut before the energy reaches the structure.
It wasn't discovered by Apple, lol. It was disclosed to Apple and they denied it. It was later disclosed publicly, so they were forced to admit it and fix it.
I can't find that information but I can find credible sources that contradict your statements.
Yet you list none. I dare you to find a "credible source" that isn't just parroting the Apple PR. There have been multiple incidents where user info that Apple shouldn't have been messing with has been found being sent back to Apple or being stored on iOS devices (often in plaintext in wise open areas). Apple doesn't disclose these things until they absolutely have to. This is true of just about any company. Security and privacy incident disclosures make you look bad. Deny as long as you can, and then sweep that shit under the rug and hope no one notices.
Any geographical subdivisions smaller than a State are considered identifers for HIPAA purposes. Those may be very relevant for a data set depending on the study.
For dates, any reference for even a year is considered an identifier for anyone over 89 years of age.
There are lots of things that might be relevant to a biomedical data set that could not be made public. Anonymizing is harder than you think.
Releasing that data to random fucking researchers is still a HIPAA violation. There's no NEW issue that comes up when data has to be public. The data has to be sanitized or released in accordance with HIPAA BEFORE it gets to researchers and journals.
I guess they don't want any more publications from medicine. There is no way to truly, fully anonymize patient data. This is why the data is rarely provided, or locked behind a "prove you're a researcher" wall, or only a small subset given decade(s) later such that it would be much harder to trace.
WTF is this horseshit? Anonymize patients by removing all name, address, etc. info. Just keep the relevant metrics for the study. HIPAA does not allow a "researchers can access your private, personal data, lol" exception, so there's no fucking change from how shit runs currently.
Well, that really wraps it up for the global warming crowd. If their source data has to be publicly accessible, it'll be laughed out off the stage before their "studies" get any traction.
The pair of you seem confused between app permissions and a now fixed vulnerability in the built in browser.
And what do you mean hide? Despite the fact that it was in open source software, the vulnerability was discovered internally at Apple, and they issued a patch. If they had actually wanted it there they wouldn't have patched it, they'd have said nothing.
It wasn't discovered by Apple, lol. It was disclosed to Apple and they denied it. It was later disclosed publicly, so they were forced to admit it and fix it. Whether you believe it's fixed or simply swept under the rug is your own problem.
MS, Google, and Apple are all looking to exploit and profit off of user data, and they need advertisers, app publishers, etc. to be on board with their platforms. They all want to exploit the same information. The reason Apple, Google, and MS don't let you control data access properly is because they don't want you to have control. They want advertisers and app publishers to have excessive and pervasive permissions. Simple as that.
The OP's point is that you don't have control, and in the cases where you think you do, you have no reason to trust that you do given the past behavior of the people designing the OS your phone runs on. To the contrary, you have every reason to believe they ARE misusing that data.
