These are payments that were made as much as two weeks ago, but essentially Sony never claimed the funds because their side was set up wrong so they were refunded automatically.
This is the problem with having automatic renewal set to happen on the date of expiration. It gives no time for resolving the payment if it fails to go through before your account is suspended. Not just Sony but all sorts of services do annual billing like this.
That's the same Internet that does unit conversions for you if you ask. Catering to the most local audience - where many of the ads are most relevant to - makes sense. Even most scientists in the US who use Celsius day in and day out still use Fahrenheit to describe ambient temperature.
Didn't see that. Which maybe explains how it's still there, but the original poster in this thread didn't seem to notice that part either - they even quoted it wrong.
The point is that the scale is more granular for indoor/outdoor temperatures while staying in integer units. For Celsius, you really have to go out to one decimal point to be very accurate with outdoor temperatures. In this case, it was Fahrenheit with an added decimal, because of the fact that it's a very specific record.
You say I can't perceive a 1 degree F change, but my thermostat moves in 1 degree increments and I do notice a difference based on the setting. And Celsius thermostats tend to all go in 0.5 degree increments.
Google Street View is even less likely to be protected by copyright, though it's hard to get pictures from the right dates. The photos are automated and there is no human effort in framing the pictures.
People already know about switching between burner phones and turning the phones off if they don't want tracked. Those people may not be as careful with a laptop.
They use these tools on any old criminals, not just cybercriminals. Physical access is something you can get with a warrant (and probably without) and most criminals' computers are not hardened against this kind of injection (no encryption).
If you have access to the target computer, you can already probably find out pretty much everything you need anyway.
People have lives outside their computers. This is for tracking criminals' location without using GPS, which is information that isn't already stored on a target computer.
then you should have done that BEFORE the wage increase. Otherwise you were wasting your money.
But to prevent getting the backlash themselves, they wait until they have someone else to blame (rising wage costs). For bonus points, if enough businesses do this, maybe the minimum wage change will get rolled back.
these companies cut the hours of their employees solely to create hardship for them in an attempt to claim that it was the rise in minimum wage that caused this action.
I did. I'm still waiting to find out whether Zillow owns a single one of those photos, though. Seems that they were probably uploaded by real estate agents who either took the photos or hired a photographer - and Zillow probably wouldn't have exclusive ownership and at most a license to use and reuse.
Did you not see that I already said that a "collection of facts" is not copyrightable? Facts are going to be bit-for-bit the same no matter how you copy them. If you take an "identical" photo it will not be the same.
Minimal amount of creativity, not really meaningful amount.

Those are aligned and stitched together automatically from a near-360 camera (no framing). What human effort?

That's a map of mostly where Slashdot is hosted. What a shock.

Context. If you're intelligent you can figure out the unit without wasting headline space.
They steal photos from other web sites. Or the agents signed away rights they didn't have. There are examples all over the web.

They're not making a concord, they're just saying they will act in a way which happens to be compatible with one.
And I'm not tying my shoes. I'm just putting my shoelaces in an arrangement that keeps my shoes from falling off.
Neither do most criminals....Not a coincidence.

Misleading all around. But "black children" shouldn't be protected less than simply "black" but it appears to be the case in the article.

Right, but that's way off-topic in this thread. I'm a desktop person myself. And I only use a full-size ergonomic keyboard at home.
You can do these searches for yourself, you know. But look here and here for a start.
