Sony did the exact same thing with the crappy movie "The Interview". Thy had a turd on their hands and they tossed it out into the open just to get some attention for it. Bonus - they used this to divert attention from the fact that their massive security breach was an inside job. Remember when the intelligence agencies were trying to blame North Korea for it and stir the pot for cyber warfare and other imagined bullshit? Absolutely no one credible in the security sector believes there is any evidence that NK was involved at all in the Sony hack. Oh, and remember when actual hackers dumped all the NSA tools on the net and we all learned that a key focus of their toolkits is making it look like attacks originated from Russia, China, NK, etc. so they could engineer false flag operations?
If i denounce your post for being advertising for woman trafficking, slashdot probably will have to remove it, regardless of being or not. The website simply does not have the resources to manually check every complaint, and if they miss a real one, the government shuts the site down. And this is true for pretty much all the websites with user content.
Show me where the law says that. Go ahead and quote it, please.
Porn isn't (or rather, wasn't before this dumbass law) illegal. They are also sex workers, as are strippers, which are also legal. But it now isn't legal to advertise for them.
The key issue here is that people like you know that already and are playing dumb. Conflating all these issues allows you to impress your moral standards on other people. Get out of my country.
This isn't about porn. This law is about people engaging in illegal shit or aiding and abetting illegal shit. If a site is shutting down their legal sites because of this law they're idiots or are afraid of being able to prove they're on the up and up.
its broad language makes criminal of those who advocate for and provide resources to adult, consensual sex workers
That's the point. They're helping people do illegal shit. Shut it down. And fix your damned typos while you're at it. If you're doing illegal shit because you're being forced into it, then go to the authorities.
and actually hinders efforts to prosecute sex traffickers and aid victims.
No more than banning hit man, drug dealing, etc. sites hinders efforts to prosecute people who are hit men, drug dealers, etc.
The US never entered into any binding agreement. A former President made a personal promise. He had no authority to enter the US into such an agreement. The US is not a party to any such agreement.
Did the Uber car use LIDAR? It had the module installed, it may have even been on, but the software didn't give a fucking shit either way. Neither did the "driver". Neither did Uber.
Increasing gain doesn't do shit other than up the noise floor.
Guess which car didn't use LIDAR, or didn't react to the results of anything?
Guess which car and camera we're talking about. You can go and watch the video. If your human eye can't see tons better than that camera you shouldn't have a license.
Further, go look up other videos of that area. It's NOT dimly lit. This was at best a crappy camera and crappy software with an inattentive "driver" and a complacent Uber. In actuality, I believe it's a good camera with crappy software, an inattentive "driver", and an Uber who is complacent with inattentive drivers and crappy software, and who is fucking lying about the whole situation. I believe they doctored the footage from the external cam to make it appear very dark and make it seem like it wasn't their fault. I believe they released the internal camera's footage (note how it's nice and bright and clear, in your typical "night vision" light amplification style) to shift blame to the "driver", who they hired, trained, and presumably reviewed.
Digital telescopes at high sensitivities require perfect stillness for long periods of time and isolation from all other light to get a fuzzy dot to filter. And such telescopes don't exactly fit in the human skull.
Have you ever used a film camera? How did the shot come out compared to what you saw in real life?
I fucking hate the fact that a lot of sites are only tested in Chrome (if at all). Not only is Chrome not the only browser, it's not a particularly good one.
You've inseminated cows (and actively collected the necessary semen)? Castrated sheep with your teeth? Repaired brickwork in active sewers? Cleaned out the deep dark hole various processing plants shove their refuse in, from the inside out?
Sauces measured by the milliliter and spices by the gram
How about tenth of a millimeter for sauces and milligrams for spices? Having an excess milliliter of mayo or mustard can really ruin the balance of a burger, and of course make a mess of things. Having an extra GRAM of spices can cause someone to cough and choke or have allergic reactions (that they normally wouldn't).
Are those major movies? How much profit did they turn out for the studio?
Yes, it is fucking peanuts in Hollywood. Just because it's a big number to you doesn't mean it's not a small number for the industry. This has been a problem in Hollywood for along time, and it's only getting worse. They chase blockbusters and sequels as the only safe way to make money and target them at Asian markets because ticket sales (number of tickets) continue to plummet in the US. They prop up ticket sales buy spending big on media hype campaigns and ticket giveaways / deals.
I think there's one for buying two bags of Doritos to get a cheap / free ticket to Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. Pizza Hut also has something going on because the latest spam email they sent me featured a glass of water with animated vibrations. (I actually intend to see this film this weekend, partly because I got cheap tickets, and partly because I've heard it's actually good. I'll be on the lookout for Pizza Hut boxes and Doritos bags.)
Hell, at Disney's grand premiere event for Solo, they had a 500 seat theater and fucking PAID 400 people to attend (mainly social media whores) because they couldn't find more than 100 people willing to buy a ticket.
If your cast isn't on every morning talk show, every late night talk show, in 3 video games, and generating "impressions" left and right on social media you're not gonna make any money in the US. A full on media blitz is expensive, and actors charge for their social media marketing of a project as a separate line item on their contract. (Because the value of the social media marketing comes from the actor's personal followers / audience, where as attachment to traditional media junkets are figured as the movie being central to the appeal of an interview, guest appearance, etc.)
Eyeballs are expensive. If you don't buy attention no one will fill the seats unless you get very, very lucky. $140,000,000 in marketing for a major film is peanuts today.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT COOP!
And a bear ate the cash? Come on.
Zuck is a cuck installed by the NSA to helm the public rollout of their pet project.
At best, he believes his own bullshit. Realistically, he knows he's a useless piece of shit and he gets his marching orders from behind the scenes.
Yes, you are. That's not a free choice. There's extreme duress involved.
You may as well say someone chose to give someone a gift of their wallet, smartphone, jewelry, and car keys because they showed them a shiny knife.
Do you write a first draft of your shitposts and then revise it before submitting? Or do you just go hog wild with your retarded shit?
I'd like to know your process. I want to understand.
Nearly every major conflict throughout human history has been solved through violence.

Reddit even removed some of its subreddits out of fear of future lawsuits.
Maybe it was fear of lawsuits, maybe it was because it was a day ending in "y". Can't really say with Reddit.

That's not how any of this works.

If they tested with ANYTHING other than Chrome they'd see that half the styling and design hacks they slap on don't fucking work anywhere BUT Chrome.

In N' Out pays very well. They start at $13 an hour in my area. They train and promote from within, have good benefits, etc.

Anyone at VW? Anyone at Theranos?
