The corporations that are "silencing people" are owned by corporations that have a wide latitude as to what they can allow or disallow on their platform. Free speech says that if you don't like what somebody has to say you are allow to get on your own soapbox and say it. I'm just saying that you aren't allowed to use "my soapbox" to stand on.
Oh regardless of whether or not you like trump, for better or worse we have him as our president until either he loses an election, can't run any longer (completed 2 terms) or gets removed from office.
One thing I will say is looking back at all the presidents that I remember (I can remember back to Carter) I can't remember any president with so much controversy surrounding him, yes presidents are not liked for one reason or another, a policy is disliked etc but wow the controversy surrounding Trump in itself is scary.
"Brazil had been the source of about 95 percent of all asbestos used in America, according to the E.P.A., but last year that country banned its manufacture and sale. Since then, Russia has stepped in as a supplier."
The article then goes on about Uralasbest and how they are happy about the move and praising Trump.
Maybe there isn't anything really there and simply just another coincidence that Russia just happens to be the largest producer of mined asbestos remaining.
My company does similar. When we insert a USB thumb drive the system will prompt you to encrypt the drive, the encryption locks it to your machine only. If you say "Don't encrypt" then you are limited to Read only on the device, this is so we can download data from a client.
At least our company has a procedure for obtaining an exception to the encrypted usb drive rule if you can justify it.
Then why did NIST come out in their 2017 recommendations to no longer force arbitrary password changes when there is no evidence of a password compromise? Because 1) users start to write passwords down, 2) users use a password that is very similar
Its gotten to the point that I have so many different passwords with so many different requirements with different expiration dates that I have no choice to write them down someplace, piece of paper, file, whatever
When companies force you to change your password every 60 or 90 days "just because" and require the new password to be substantially different than their previous password people start writing them down.
I never understood the thought behind forcing a password change because you've had your password for X days.
I have been in the IT industry for almost 30 years and I am a college dropout, I'm guessing I have about 60 credits to my name. I got my start working full time for the University I was attending. Since then I've moved around, gone through buyouts, acquisitions, and layoffs. I've worked for some very well known large companies and received offers from others. In my almost 30 years I'm only aware of two companies that wouldn't even talk to me because I didn't have a degree, one was a financial services firm and the other was a telco. There may have been others that I never knew about but I have no way of knowing.
I have no way of knowing if a degree would have helped me, then again what I'm doing today, WAN/LAN design and implementation wasn't taught when I attended college in the mid 80's, computer engineering was programming, usually Pascal, Fortran, or C, while cisco was barely a company when I started. I do think a degree would have opened up more options to me since I focused strictly on what interested me without regard to what skills might be needed for other jobs, both in or out of the IT industry to improve my marketability.
Over the years I've had the opportunity to interview potential candidates for positions, I never paid much attention to college degrees, I probably made a mental note if they did or did not attend college but I was more interested in the experience they had listed and if they could backup what was on the resume.
Copyright and Trademark arguments aside, I feel that DC made the only decision they could. If DC allows the monument for this child, what's to prevent some other family asking for the same use of the superman logo (likeness?)? Where do the requests stop? What criteria should DC use to allow or deny the use of the logo?
Its a slippery slope that DC is right to avoid with a flat out denial.
Can't image those disclaimers are enforceable...Plus I have a disclaimer on my email server that states that "any email received by this system is subject to full public disclosure at the sole discretion of the recipient. If you do not accept these terms do not transmit your email and disconnect now"
Wait didn't GM do this in the past? As I recall it was called a Cimarron. I had one, it was a hand me down, a 1982 model, didn't have enough power to get out of its own way.
Detroit just doesn't get it, they are stuck in their old ways, "We will build what we want you to have, not what you really want, and you'll like it!"
It took Detroit many years to learn that adding cubic inches wasn't the only way to boost horse power, ok I admit cubic inches sound really good but turbo chargers work very well at adding horsepower too.
Ever wondered what the SysRq key on your keyboard does?
Introduced by IBM with the PC/AT, it was intended to be available as a special key to directly invoke low-level operating system functions with no possibility of conflicting with any existing software.
I remember using the SysRequest key on an old IBM System-34, that was long before the PC/AT, oh wait I just gave away my age
The only downside is many of the manufactures now violate the GPLv2 copyright either by refusing to release the kernel sources or dragging their feet for months...
For example HTC keeps violating the GPL with their phones... go ask HTC specifically for the Kernel (not the Android software) for their CDMA phones and they'll either point you to the GSM version of the kernel, claim that their kernel modifications fall under the Apache license, are proprietary or claim that Sprint and/or Verizon have to release it.

did you miss this section of the article?

or is it????
I think my employer has figured out how to stretch a 24 hr day into 30 hrs on a regular basis

What a way to build company moral, threaten to have people thrown in jail.

Trump is rejecting not because of what the Paris Climate deal is, he's rejecting it because it was his predecessor's doing.
I disagree as I've been offered positions with companies on Wall St (Broadway and Wall) and was offered a position with a different telco.

yes except for the fact that HTC makes the binaries available on their site and the device is branded HTC
The only downside is many of the manufactures now violate the GPLv2 copyright either by refusing to release the kernel sources or dragging their feet for months...
