hmm.... perhaps it would be prudent to read the *entire* story before posting.... apparently the privacy commissioner was already informed, and they did already take it down. I expect the only reason the privacy commission did already not do anything more than request that the post be taken offline is because the company complied, probably without reservation. But they have still broken the law, and there would be legitimate grounds for further action against them if the privacy commission so decides.
It is illegal. Canada's privacy law explicitly allows organizations to use or disclose people's personal information only for the purpose for which they gave consent. If the list hasn't been taken down yet, it will be shortly, if anyone on it files a complaint with Canada's privacy commissioner.
Following the rules for French pronunciation, if the 't' were actually silent, I'm pretty sure it would then be pronounced Lab-bee'.
So.... who's going to say "Wooosh!" first, or will the fact that I have mentioned it prevent such a remark form occurring? (I feel like I just made my own private Schroedinger's cat experiment)
I don't recall seeing anywhere in the article where watt-hours per liter are achieved with this technology, but even if it is more dense per unit volume than Li-Ion, all that means is that you save space.... if it weighs more, then it still requires more energy to push around, which is important if you want your batteries to be mobile.
TFA lies about the energy density being comparable.
The article states that the energy density of this sodium battery is 90 watt hours per kilogram, except Li-Ion typically stores between 250 and 320 watt-hours per kilogram.
Why should moving and shooting require 10 keys to be pressed? Even key-chording generally does not typically involve more than 2 or 3 keys to be pressed simultaneously.... so doing that simultaneously with both hands might cause a need for up to 6 keys to be pressed at once. Anything beyond that and you are probably moving outside of the key combinations that can actually be pressed by a majority of people reliably enough to serve as functional controls.
Not arguing with you, but it's worth noting that pure gold is actually quite easy to bend by hand... while I wouldn't say it's necessarily "soft", it's surprisingly easy to warp the shape of something made of pure gold with just finger pressure without even necessarily trying.
The firms, which included Microsoft, HBO Europe, Sony Music and Twentieth Century Fox, estimated that the financial damage amounted to 5.7m Czech Crowns (£148,000). But the Business Software Alliance (BSA), which represented Microsoft, acknowledged that Jakub could not pay that sum. Instead, the companies said they would be happy to receive only a small payment and his co-operation in the production of the video. In order for the firms' promise not to sue to be valid, they said, the video would have to be viewed at least 200,000 times within two months of its publication this week.
How will not getting 200,000 views enable him to be more able to pay the amount he is said to owe, exactly? If the whole point of cooperating with them and making the video was to reduce his damages, apparently on the basis that he supposedly would not be able to afford the damages in the first place, it seems entirely pointless to threaten to come back and sue him for just as much if it doesn't reach a particular view count.
That said, this story is probably high-profile enough that he will probably get the requisite number of views anyway.
You asked why it should be irrelevant, and I posited a reply.... that this is not sufficient to make the matter irrelevant to some people in your opinion is entirely beside the point. Why did you bother to ask the question when you were going to dismiss an answer that you didn't personally happen to agree with?
Then explain to me why the average person's most frequent use of their vehicle is irrelevant.
Because when other use-cases really exist, even though they are much less frequent, one ends up either having to own two cars, one of which hardly gets used, or they end up having to deal with renting one. The former isn't typically seen as cost effective by many (and in some cases isn't even viable on account of a lack of parking), and the latter is staggeringly inconvenient compared to just owning the car.
It's only when they think they need to drive to go on vacation that it matters.
Or if you didn't fill up/recharge last night because you forgot or what have you, and can't make it to work in the morning on what you have. With a gasoline car, it amounts to a brief five minutes of additional time on the way to work to fill up and you are good to go... with no need to think about it for several days.
The only thing that keeps chip and pin from being secure is that the banks keep allowing non-chip-and-pin transactions instead of forcing vendors to upgrade or not use the service at all.
.... and possibly for others who were in the area at the time who lost friends or family to the event, this is what I shall forever associate with "Black Friday": link.
What would that accomplish, in this situation? I imagine you still wouldn't be able to view the website.... that's how they got people to disable their ad blockers in the first place, by not allowing people who had such facilities to use their website. Presumably, people who disabled their ad blockers for that purpose found what the site had to offer useful enough that they were willing to put up with ads.
One could probably assume that although they use the term "weight", they are probably referring to mass, since the units are equivalent in Earth gravity.
And you missed mine, which is that once gimp meets a person's functional requirements, the name is unlikely to matter to many more people. I would suggest that it only significantly gets associated with the negative meaning of a homophone for its name by people because it isn't adequate in the first place.
Plus, you can call it whatever the heck you want.... it's open source you could even make a fork.... if the fork is just a name change, then such a fork would be quite trivial, if your fork isn't widely adopted by the community, then wouldn't that suggest that the name isn't as big a deal as you are implying?
No, but the other issues mentioned were genuine functional differences. What it happens to be called should not matter anywhere nearly as much as whether it will actually help someone with the stuff they really need to get done, and if it actually could do the latter, I might imagine that the only reason one would still complain about the former is if they personally didn't actually have any real use for the software in the first place.

So what you're saying is that all of the cows that jumped over the moon got stuck there, on the back side?

So they have a ways to go.
Why would they have to, if they weren't supposed to be responsible for it in the first place?
That's all very well and good, except for the fact they do a fucking awful job of it. People should be responsible for their own privacy. Full stop.

??? USB 3.1 is quite a bite faster than even firewire 800, and about the same speed as thunderbolt.
I have this terrible feeling that I'm probably going to regret asking this, but why do you need to press 10 keys at once?
Not arguing with you, but it's worth noting that pure gold is actually quite easy to bend by hand... while I wouldn't say it's necessarily "soft", it's surprisingly easy to warp the shape of something made of pure gold with just finger pressure without even necessarily trying.
Nope.... Iron is less dense than gold. It wouldn't weigh enough. In fact, that was how Archimedes detected the forgery.

This is just a guess, but I'd imagine that it's probably because they get it from a source that accepts USD.
The only thing that keeps chip and pin from being secure is that the banks keep allowing non-chip-and-pin transactions instead of forcing vendors to upgrade or not use the service at all.

Or does it still require 32-bit compatibility libraries?
