What Microsoft created here is a "plausible deniability". They are neither the owner nor the operator of the computers. So if the judge argues that the data is stored on the german servers, Microsoft can say that they asked their german service provider, but the german service provider refused (rightfully, as Deutsche Telekom is incorporated in Germany and subject to german laws), and thus Microsoft simply can't answer the judge's request.
The problem is that you have to compare the received image with the stored one, and then calculate the distance. If the distance is smaller than a certain treshold, the image is accepted.
A hash can't do that. Actually, a hash is designed to not allow that. The distance of two sources should always be completely unrelated to the distance of the respective hashes.
The models have predicted the warming (but being on the conservative side, not as strong as it has happened so far). The stasis seems to have been a statistical fluke, caused by a spike due to an exceptionally strong El Nino in 1998. Since 2014 has been warmer globally than 1998, and the numbers for 2015 are not in yet, but so far point to a new global warmth record even above 2014, there is no stasis at all.
I just cite real events. It has happened that people were playing loud music in the frontyard of their neigbors at four in the morning. It has happened that companies were dumping their waste in the local water supply. It has happened that a mob killed a business owner after the owner refusing to pay the protection money.
If your neighbor likes it to play loud music at four in the morning in your frontyard, you should let him live as he chooses. If the company up the river likes to dump their waste into your water supply, because this saves money and thus means higher bonusses for the bosses, you should let the managment live as it chooses. If the mob down the road likes to shot you down, because you wouldn't pay them to take care of your nice looking business, you should let them live as they choose.
Right. All ever living species contributed and contribute to an ever changing surface of the earth, so profundly that we call the shell around the Earth that is inhabited and transformed by them the biosphere, the "globe of living".
The main difference is that mankind as a single species is transforming the whole earth, while ants and beetles and earthworms are only terraforming their respective habitat.
First: Terraforming just means "forming the Earth", it does not include any notion of "human-inhabitable".
Second: In fact, we are terraforming to make the Earth even more human-inhabitable. We lay dry the swamps to make them inhabitable for humans, we irrigate the deserts to make them inhabitable for humans, we create shelters everywhere that protect us from less comfortable weather conditions and allow us to rest, thus making regions of difficult weather conditions inhabitable for humans. We put our infrastructures everywhere to adapt the environment to our lifestyles, and we lay the foundations into the earth to carry our infrastructures.
We constantly terraform and changing Terra small scale and large scale to better accommodate us.
As I am working in the phone industry, I can tell you, that the thermo fax is long gone. All modern fax machines use simple printing paper and have either a laser printing engine or a normal ink jet one. Thermal paper today is mostly used to print paper receipts at POS systems, but not much somewhere else.
There is no problem to build a completely silicon/germanium based amplifier which glows and has better characteristics than a tube based one. You might need more elements to do so, but as silicon is small, cheap and quite frugal on electric energy, while tubes are not, operational amplifiers have better characteristics and less energy consumption than tube based ones.
Because for some reason, working together in groups is more important for your survival and procreation than being able to spot patterns. The pattern spotting ability of the average human has been proven as being 'good enough'.
Mathematically, both are the same. The gravitational pull causes exactly the same bend than the curved space time. General Relativity says that the gravitational pull you observe is a result of the curved spacetime.
Many people who hail the gold standard ignore a simple fact: A gold standard for coins means constant deflation, which is bad in most economic situation, because it gives incentives for hoarding money instead of spending it. Or for the technically inclined: Gold coins don't scale. Each year, the world economy grows about 4%, but the amount of gold available doesn't. Thus with time, with the gold standard a fixed amount of gold represents more and more actual value. A precious metal standard was kinda okeish, as long as you could set aside some productivity gains to mine more precious metals to represent the gained productivity in additional coins. It worked as long as countries in dire need of more precious metals simply invaded other countries and either stole theirs or started to mine non-depleted resources.
But somehow, conquering other nations and plundering their wealth just for your own coin mints has been frowned upon recently, and thus the gold standard had to be abandoned, as the gold available couldn't scale anymore with the gold needed for minting.
You are operating under the false premise that people being accused of something are already guilty, and all a court case is for is enumerating the evidence.
What she has done is false accusation and giving false testimony. And that's not orthogonal to the case, that is tantamount to it. She was presenting the evidence that actually got the cases to court. And there was no chance for the jury or the judge to question her evidence, It had to be taken at face value as she was the expert witness.
As the person who did the drug testing, she (and the other person mentioned in the second article) was a witness. So Annie Dookhan has given false testimony in at least 34,000 cases, and Sonja Farak in another 29,000 cases. And the former Attorney General is alleged to have known beforehand, that Sonja Farak's tests could be tainted and didn't inform the defense attorneys.
But that's what you get if you measure the success of a state attorney by the numbers of convictions and guilty pleas he gets from the defendants. And that's what you get when ignoring the rights of defendants during the investigation and before court is hailed as "being tough on crime". Somewhere, people are getting sloppy and start cheating just to get higher scores. And instead of justice, you just get high costs for running an extensive prison system to keep all those people, whose convictions and guilty pleas are mostly about their prosecuter's career and not so much about crimes they really committed (if any).
Actually no. All baryonic matter we know of, transparent and intransparent, interacts with electromagnetic waves. All transparent baryonic matter for instance comes with a specific refractive index describing how it reduces the speed of light crossing it. The refractive index of dark matter is 1, e.g. it has no influence on the speed of light. For light, dark matter just isn't there, quite different than transparent baryonic matter.
If you RTFA, you would see exactly that issue adressed with two colliding galaxies. You can see the (baryonic) dustclouds collide by the emitted light and the dark matter moving straight indicated by the graviational lensing.
As I have no choice where you point your camera at, it's not my turn to stay out of your camera's view. It's up to you to get my expressive permission to take any footage of me.

And Europe's latitude ranges from 36.7 degN to 82 degN. Which means there is a large overlap.

Being cast out and denied success in the society is human evolution at work. It's the 'selection' phase.
Would it have helped if you provided a desk phone in said room and a big warning label, that mobile phones don't work?
In a way, OTP is not an encryption, as in fact you are sending only half of the information with an OTP encoded message.
As someone pointed out already, OTP is not really an encryption, but a way to split the information in half.

Actually, there are methods for 3D printing metal.
