I very much doubt this, there will be trade agreements that US is obliged to keep. I don't know if it applies in this instance, but zero obligation doesn't seen feasible.
If it was the case the other countries could for example break US copyright or vice versa, since there is 0 obligation to do so why do it.
Snapchat requires Bitmoji so the number of Bitmoji downloads > Snapchat downloads how is this even interesting it says nothing about how popular Bitmoji is.
I generally believe the accuser because that is the way the world is. My problem is what seems to be the definition and sexual assault and the over reaction to it.
I am sure that the woman felt unconformable for a few seconds. Who hasn't but when has feeling slightly uncomfortable been justification for ruining someones life.The appropriate response is to tell them to get lost.
I also believe we are making women out to be much weaker, and stupider than they really are. Oh I saw a penis, I emotionally scared for life. Or he invited me up to his hotel room for a meeting, I had no idea that he was going to make a move on me. Please which cave where these women brought up in.
I think getting paid $100,000 for a creepy old guy to to wank in front of me is more than adequate compensation.
Yes people should feel unharassed and safe in the workplace, but people also need to express there desire for one another, sometimes that desire will not be reciprocated, there is no need for someones entire life to be ruined over it. It is a dangerous and impossible thing to totally suppress ones sexuality. Eg catholic priest, or you can just stop being homosexual right, its a choice.
We have many greater problems in this world like people starving or being killed by war that we should be outraged about before we start getting outraged about some woman being kissed, or having her bottom squeezed.
That not what the study showed, it showed that people who know more swear words have a larger vocabulary. That is not the same as people who swear more are more intelligent.
The experiment was they got people to say as many swear words as they could and then say as many neutral words as the could the people who could say more curse words could also say more neutral words.
That does not show people who swear more have larger vocabulary, if you say fuck or cunt every second word doesn't mean you know a lot of swear words it may just mean you over use the ones you know.
Nonsense we have been told we are the privileged class so long that people just believe it without question. The are pros and cons to both sexes.
Women's Disadvantages: Get paid less Physically weaker. Expected to wait to be asked out. Get used as prostitutes/ sex slaves Are expected to have a higher standard of beauty. Sexually harassed more. Expected to be lady like.....
Men's disadvantages: we are less happy, in my country 3 times the suicide rate, we have less friends. we live shorter lives. we are expected to go to war/die for our country. we are expected to pay for women on dates. when rescuing people women and children first, men last. when selecting refuges to allow in women, children get priority. We may be the perpetrators of sexual harassment more but it is expected that we make the first move, not just bat our eyelids and expect the women to come over. Harder to have sex, e.g. almost any woman can go out and have sex for free (probably get paid for it) as long as she isn't picky. Expected to work and support the family More likely to be convicted of a crime, and sentences are harsher. Expected to be tough.....
Some of these things are changing but are still there.
None of us a both men and women know what it is like to be the other sex. We need to listen to each other and not just say men cannot understand women, it works both ways.
I don't really see any significant changes to the UI, yes the tabs are different looking (that kind of annoyed me), maybe the buttons look different, I can't really remember it is not important. At least now I know which browser I am in.
What I see is it is faster, the debuggers is faster and more compatible, I don't have many plugins, I just want to browse the web. That what matters.
When you write software you have to make a choice, you can't make every happy, to me it seems they made the right decision. Whether they succeed is another matter, they are up against a large well funded competitor. I for one will use firefox over chrome while it remains practical because I believe google owns enough of the web already.
That is why I have started to use duckduckgo a bit less advertising, a bit less filtering. The google search engine is only useful to me as long as it returns the sights I am after. If it does not I use another search engine.
It is about both, I would say sanitation is more important. Yes there is no need to grant the process access to drop tables but that only patches that problem you can still do a lot of damage without that.
e.g. '); update account set balance = 1000000;
or even if you don't give write access (usually the process needs to write) it is still possible that you maybe able to extract information that you shouldn't have like other customers email, or credit card info.
PS sanitation should not be done manually but build into the system.
It was probably modded down automatically, because it is posted by Anonymous Coward, which come in as 0, and it is the first post which is usually some idiot posting something meaningful like "first post". I would not be surprised the first post automatically gets modded down further especially if it is by AC.
That is not enough, if you potentially ruined 325 million peoples lives you wouldn't loose a years income, you would go to jailed for the rest of your life, with no income.
It does matter, the reason is you can no longer with any level of certainty guarantee that the person applying for the credit is the actual person they say they are, so your data is corrupted, in fact it doesn't matter who you get your credit info from, if it was in the compromised data you cannot be sure it is them.
every body should now be issued with new social security numbers, names and birthdays. and Equifax should pay.
low price of $50 you can get exactly the same thing
I take issue with that, you don't think you get super-set of the same thing, (although I don't subscribe to either cable or pirate streaming), you probably get less shows that you want to seen on cable, because of licensing and regional deals especially if you are not in the US.
I assume on the pirate channels you get all popular shows no matter who produces them. But that is the battle cry of cable providers, a worse product for a higher price.
What this article does show is people are willing to pay for content, and convenience, but the product has to be good and the cost has to be reasonable.
It is different because with opens source if the original company doesn't fix the problem you can fix it yourself. With closed source no choice but re-implement the whole system without using the software.
First how would you know it doesn't work, has anyone ever tried it.
Second the system as we have it doesn't work for little inventors anyway, there is no way that a little inventor can realistically fight a corporation like google anyway. I a little inventor tries to fight a large corporation the most likely outcome is they will go bankrupt paying lawyers.
So the the solution here is have a company who's only purpose is to exist buy up patients cheap underpaying inventor and producing nothing,
And yes if you cannot bring that invention to the market the patient is worthless to you, just like if you have a great idea for a book an never write it that is also worthless. If a company makes billions and you where never going to make money anyway then yes incurred no actual losses. All you have is sour grapes that somebody made money and you didn't. This is especially the case if the person that made money didn't know you had a patient and came up with the idea independently.
As I said earlier I think the whole patient system is broken, have an idea implement it make money, if someone else can implement it better then they deserve to win. Did google come up with the first search engine, no. Did apple come up with the first smart phone, no. Did they implement it better than previous version yes.
I would argue that logic, a patent has should have no value, it is only its use that has value.
If you bought a patient and not used it the maximum financial loss you have incurred is the cost buy the patient.
Now I think patients should just be scrapped, they are just used to create artificial monopolies which just make production less efficient.
However if people insist on keeping them then the penalties should be calculated like any other legal penalty by working out what you would have made if that offender had not used the patient at all minus what you made.
Looking something up on the internet and actual interaction with people with different cultures is not the same thing. Interacting with people makes you think of them on a more personal level, rather than an abstract concept.
Don't get me wrong I hate travel, especially going around at looking at buildings, art etc. But interacting with people from different cultures and getting different opinions and world views I find quite interesting. This may make the interactions easier.
Africans and others are dying of hunger and we should do something about that, but I think they are dying of hunger not because we do not have enough food, but because we simply don't care about them enough. We have an obesity problem, 50% of food wasted, so we must have enough food. If the technology is developed and works well people (I wouldn't trust google translate enough just yet), perhaps more people that travel would go and see the actual country as opposed to some guided tour.
This doesn't apply to me, I am quite shy, and find it quite hard to talk to strangers, but there are definitely people out there that aren't.
Yes you could say the Universe is everything, however we can only observe, well the observable universe. There is nothing to say there is not more out there that is not observable by us.
yes but if nano bots could create nanobots this wouldn't be a problem
1 nano bot is 150 atoms so it would take 150 seconds to create 1 nanobot at 1 second per atom.
so lets say you want to construct that 10^20 atom grain of sand in 1 second you need 10^20 nanobots.
sum of a geometric series is a(1-r^n)/(1-r) for our case r is the result is 10^20 a is 1 solve for n (will give number of 150 second blocks)
so that is log base 2 of (2* 10^20) *150 seconds that is about 2 hours 49 minutes, controlling them is another issue though.
the number of atoms in the earth is around 1.33*10^50 atoms that is just under 7 hours to consume the earth. Ok there will be resource limits an travel time, but isn't exponential growth fun.
How do you stop engineers from looking a prior art, ban them from the internet and put them in a box.
Seriously it may sound good, in your policy but it makes no sense. Same thing with contract clauses that say you cannot use knowledge from this job in future work, are you meant to get a lobotomy when you leave.

I describe it as giving instructions to person with absolutely no intuition but will do everything precisely as you say.
Ask them to give you basic instructions on a simple thing like open a door or draw a picture and follow there instructions PRECISELY.

Yes it makes sense, although I have not done the calculations.
There is a lot of mining going on and relatively few transactions.

Nothing wrong with being gay, so I assume you think there is nothing wrong with piracy.

Of course bit coin can be controlled by governments, if they choose, they can simply make it illegal, and throw you in jail or kill you if you use it.
The can also make there own crypto currency in which they can print money and make it legal tender.
I you think it is free from from potential government control you are mistaken.

I agree, that there are many problems with exponential growth, it think I mentioned
control (points1, 5),
controlling them is another issue though.
travel (point 4), resource availability (point 2,3)
there will be resource limits an travel time.
yes but if nano bots could create nanobots this wouldn't be a problem

Perhaps it has to do with marketing budget more than quality of the film, if few people know about few people see it.
