I'll have you know that the Chinese are still building plenty of skyscrapers in NYC. saudi, Russian and Chinese oligarchs have to stash their cash somewhere...
Yes but they're probably building them with South Korean steel, likewise any large new bridges that go up.
Prison time for those responsible in management, up to and including the CEO.
This kind of idiotic attitude is why America spends $100 Billion per year on prisons, nearly as much as the rest of the world combined. No, people should not go to prison for incompetence.
While the US does put way too many people in prison, this is not one of those cases. For those in power at the company, these fines are no punishment at all. The company is probably insured and any shortfall will be covered by shareholders, while the CEOs etc. will carry on getting the same or increased salaries and bonuses as usual, and the company's articles may make it almost impossible to vote them out (Mylan).
Only the possibility of real PERSONAL penalties that they can't insure against or just claim as a tax loss will serve to "concentrate the minds" of those in charge.
I don't even think the analogy is valid. I, and most people I know, have automatic security updates turned on, and many OSes come with that as the default, so even dumb people get them automatically. I don't even know if I get an update, unless it requires a reboot. The main culprits that don't have auto-update turned on are some Windows users, because Microsoft has a bad habit of abusing the update process to push out annoying marketing crap.
I have notifications turned on but I wait a few days before installing patches. That gives some time to hear from early adopters if the latest batch of updates from MS is likely to trash my system
So either expand bag limits and/or the dates of deer hunting season. From a quick google search, it appears hunters are only allowed 2 deer per season, only one of which can be a buck. So at best a hunter can only take 1 breeding pair per year. Allow more bucks to be taken and you will probably see a lot more hunters going out-because who doesn't like a good trophy-and will probably make a bigger dent in the population, since fewer males=less breeding. Or just allow more depredation hunts, or sanction some culls confined to specific areas and closely monitored by game warders.
No, to limit the population you'd have to kill off the females, as they're the ones doing the breeding.
One remaining (lucky) buck can service any number of does.
The price of AUD (presumably) $649 quoted for Australia is much cheaper than the $500 American price, after currency conversion and tax are taken into account. I wonder what they'll leave out for the Aussie market?
Well, like Richard Feynman described; he took a required philosophy class and only understood, "Ugga wugga wugga, wugga wugga ugga," but he still passed the class.
Yes, but there's also Analytical Philosophy which is more about the clear thinking aspect. I've heard it described as an excellent bullshit detector.
From Wikipedia: "As a philosophical practice, it is characterized by an emphasis on argumentative clarity and precision, often making use of formal logic, conceptual analysis, and, to a lesser degree, mathematics and the natural sciences."
Mother tongue huh? Well, my mother tongue is german, and I feel like 90% of germans around me, including myself, speak english most of the time. Even at the bar, because there is usually someone from the UK, who doesn't speak german quite as good, hanging out with us. Frankly, you're being ridiculous.
In Australia the local SBS TV channel sometimes broadcasts crime dramas from places like Sweden and Germany in the original language, and I've been surprised that when they have to interrogate someone from a different country they switch to English without extra comment or exposition.
I think Australia has one of the lowest percentages of people speaking a second language, but considering our geographical position, which one should we choose? Chinese might make sense, but due to its tonal nature of verbal speech and the foreign characters it's bloody hard to learn as an adult if you don't have a gift for languages.
While those with the ability and time can roll their own solutions, what off-the-shelf home security products are there, for non-technical people to use to protect their home/IoT networks?
A hammer.
Simply forcing the user to change the default login and password would be a good start, and preventing the user from using passwords like "passw0rd" or "123456" would also help.
Most humans, especially Americans, already hate automated service of any kind.
Indeed, this is why a fancy sit-down restaurant can charge a lot more than a cafeteria. People with jobs pay for human provided massages, facials, hair treatments, etc. even though there are machines that can do those things far cheaper.
FTFY
There's going to be many fewer of those in the future.
And how do we reconcile this article about us all having to work past 65 with the other recent claims saying that 30-40% of us will be unemployed in the next few decades due to AI and robotics?
So what happens if this intervention accidentally goes wrong and utterly destroys the entire reef? Wouldn't it be something if those who claim to be helping the reef end up killing it?
If this kind of intervention has bad side effects you can simply turn it off, and everything quickly goes away.
This is just a waste of money. Trump would never allow such frivolous spending.
Heh, the reef is worth about US$4.5 Billion a year in tourist income to Australia, not to mention it's value as a restocking nursery for surrounding commercial fisheries. Even the extreme right-wing climate change deniers might see some value in that.
IIRC MH370 had all this stuff already, and it was knocked out by power failures. Malaysian would be better off IMO by getting a really good backup power system so the existing systems survive a future MH370-esque event.
The most likely scenario is that the murderous, suicidal pilot shut the tracking off deliberately so that the plane could not be found. The authorities found practice runs of his flight path on his flight simulator at home.
VPN. Conversely, that'd also protect you reasonably from Google.
But then the VPN admins have access to all your browsing..
Yes, but they're selling privacy, often with promises of no logging, so they have a lot more to lose if they are found to be selling you out. Also they are often situated in a different country (if you choose wisely) and have options for anonymous payment methods if you want to go that far.
There are extra degrees of separation that makes the information less usable to any advertiser or government.
If you have nothing to hide, why should it matter either way?

More to the point, if you're taking your machine to be fixed because it was compromised, doesn't that make it just ever so slightly more likely that the child porn on it wasn't your doing?
And if they get $500 for every instance of kiddie porn they claim to find, that sounds like an incentive to me.

In Australia the cab companies and owners also get a government subsidy to provide wheel chair accessible vehicles.
Are they going to do the same for Uber drivers? I don't think so.

Until he said they could only do 10000 acres. Come on, that's nothing. Use a tractor.
10,000 acres is 40 square kilometers or nearly 16 square miles. That sounds like quite a lot to me.

Amazon Fire HD 8 already had 1280x800 8" screen and 1.5GHz Mediatek CPU.
A US $10 price cut to $80 and the MicroSD slot can now handle cards up to 256GB, from 128GB.
Replying to undo rating.
To spot blatantly biased mainstream news you also need to expend actual effort and thought.
Easy, anything from Fox/News Corp.

How convenient, a RAT that you can install yourself.
I'm wondering how long it will be before someone comes up with an excessively forced acronym for "steve".

What do they use as a feed stock to grow the stuff in the vats? How does the energy profile of the final food compare with meat from living animals?
I've sometimes wondered the same about hydroponically grown vegetables.
Unfortunately the bad effects of eating such meat will likely not be known before years (cancers...).
In the mean time I'll stick with good healthy hot dog meat.
