Massive Zeta inhibitory peptide injections which interfere with LTP. Inhibiting PKM in behaving animals erased spatial long-term memories in the hippocampus that were up to one month old, ,, and erased long-term memories for fear conditioning and inhibitory avoidance
In the neocortex, thought to be the site of storage for most long-term memories, PKM inhibition erased associative memories for conditioned taste aversion in the insular cortex, up to 3 months after training
The fines should be collected, then any major excess donated to a worthy recognized non-profit charity according to a lottery procedure then voting by the public, and the non-excessive dollar amount of all fines collected should be placed in a trust account which cannot be drawn from and cannot be pledged as collateral for any government debts and can be drawn from for the exclusive purpose of funding reparative assistance solely to reduce the loss for witnesses and victims of proven crime, and compensation up to their normal working wages of citizens for their time in court or serving as jurors/witnesses, and people widowed or orphaned directly or indirectly through an act of violent crime (with no suicide involved) that would not be coverable to the extent of coverage which would exist from any insurance policy in the absence of the fund, and the amount of any insurance payment reduction caused by receiving assistance from fund must be repaid, etc, etc./...
These are not private debts, and fines levied by government are not "in dispute".
They are subject to appeals, for example, based on inability to pay. You are not a criminal or subject to jailing, merely because you are said to have some outstanding fine demanded by authorities.
It's possible that it could come to that point if you allow the debt to become delinquent, and fail to proceed appropriately.
But if you are arrested at that point, it's not merely because you "owe money"...
And this goes way beyond 'debt collection'; if you want to say that's debt collection, then all Traffic patrols are potentially debt collection patrols in every state.....
Cops don't need a warrant to arrest someone for most crimes, for most they just need probable cause.
Having a debt to the authorities is not a crime or probable cause.
If you fail to pay the citation, you'll eventually get a delinquency notice and be served an order to appear in court.
Of course, if you miss the court date after being served the notice, and the judge signs a warrant, then you are getting what you had coming to you; at that point it's not "Just a debt".....
The officer then pulls the driver over and offers them a devil's bargain: get arrested, or pay the original fine with an extra 25% processing fee tacked on,
The driver should just tell the Officer "That information is incorrect, the debt is in dispute. Do you have a warrant for this?"
For example one must have a permit to build a helicopter pad in most cities.
This is a permitting requirement for construction; Of course, one could land in a place that is private property where no formal helicopter pad has been constructed.
Also, it had better not be in a residential neighborhood, or other place, where the noise represents an issue for neighbors.
The 95% of the world living outside of the USA have absolutely no recourse to your Congress.
I think that's not actually important the MERE THREAT that there is a recourse to congress is an influencer against pursuing courses that would be against their mission and hurt the internet as a whole, because it means the ICANN board does not have absolute power; It does not matter that Congress has not actually used that power, as long as they know they can be subject to account, then they may not engage in abuses they might otherwise.
I believe the prying away ICANN is very much a for-profit endeavor.
IMO; ICANN is somewhat shady, and not to be trusted with full control over the domain name system.
They have already begun to show their true colors with the "Vanity TLDs" enterprise.
Which, by the way, does not seem to be in the public interest --- but purely a money-making idea for ICANN.
By the time the public understands the negative consequences of this; it will be too late, AFTER they have already allowed ICANN to become independent and ceded the public's ability to have a check on absolute power....
"I READ a book today" is past tense. No loss of information.
No; now, which word you are using when you typed "read" has become ambiguous, and you have to start making a subjective interpretation of the rest of the sentence to infer which word would have been used.
Imagine you see two words I READ, and the rest of the sentence is covered up. Now try to tell me the phonetics of the lexeme "Read".
I think the GP needs to just cut to the chase, for goodness sake, drop this façade, have a saké, relax to some animé , and then complete their exposé, with the suggestion the des gens qui parlent français people start typing all their written communiqés in English which conveniently disposes of the accented letters problem.
Since of course, no words used in the US have diacritic marks on them, ever
Duty bound? What duty is that? The victims have no contract with the provider.
The duty is a duty to the public (including victims) to abide the law by not destroying evidence.
It is not a contractual duty. It is more like the duty involved, where you are a school worker and you routinely open a student's locker to find illegal drugs --- just emptying their locker out into the garbage incinerator is a crime of disposing of the evidence.
The hosting provider who delete the files for damages.
Unfortunately, the ransomware's C&C servers were on a free hosting service, and someone reported the account. All the data has been deleted from the servers, there's no backup, the backdoor account is useless, and victims have no way of recovering their files.
If it was reported to them, then the provider KNEW or should have known their servers were holding a criminal's data, including possibly encryption/decryption keys and stolen assets in relation to ransomware, which the providers' services had aided.
At that point, the hosting provider became duty bound to without fail take steps to preserve evidence of the criminal activity, for inspection by authorities.
Complete deletion was an act of negligence, and if they aren't criminally tried, the provider should at least be compensating victims for their loss that was a result of not being able to obtain ransomware decryption keys which the provider destroyed.
If you are testing your judgement skills, 1 and 2 are legal and 3 is illegal in most jurisdictions
Well, If I am working in that jurisdiction, and I am the technician --- then the only safe thing for me to do is to report ANY of those, when I see it.
It might be true that #1 is not illegal, But since I would bear risk if the assumption is wrong, then it is a better idea for the authorities and the courts to come to that conclusion.
Then you place your IP licensing profit center in Ireland, where you pay the corporate tax at 12.5%.
We in the US should adjust the tax law to say that any revenue from licensing the right to use a patent or copyright registration with the US copyright office, or IP right use by a company for any operations in the US, is always US-based income, taxable against the registrant, regardless of the domicile of the registrant, and any failure to pay income tax on those changes the ownership of those IP rights and royalties payable to the US treasury.
The solar panel companies in Alabama have been mentioning, that as an advantage, the panels will help protect your roof in the event of a hurricane, because they are rated for exposure to higher wind speeds than the roofing shingles.
The #1 weather risk for a Datacenter is lightning., none of the ones you listed.
If you're building a datacenter, then you can design it to withstand, and selection of elevation for flood risk avoidances.
Tornados are a risk, even when there's no hurricane, and the risk is lower most of the time than in flatland areas in the more northerly regions... ask some Kansas residents.
That doesn't sound right. I reported a felony exactly two weeks ago and an officer just handed me a witness statement form. Filled it out, went down to the station to hand it in. Took about 20 minutes.
I think that is probably representative of what normally happens, BUT of course people who have done nothing wrong can still be afraid of law enforcement, and law enforcement DO have the authority to lock up witnesses, there are some legitimate uses for detaining, AND law enforcement departments sometimes abuse that power.
I might have to testify if it goes to trial someday, but I think it's more likely they'll just plea.
This is the other thing.... if you're a small business owner, for example, and you start needing to take totalling days or weeks off to appear for depositions, and investigator interviews, and as a witness in court; this can cost you a heck of a lot of money, money which you won't be reimbursed for by the defendant or anyone else.
Or as an employee it can cost you paid or unpaid leave time ---- which can mean suddenly you cannot pay your rent, or for transportation or other basic necessities.
This is also one of the reasons people don't want to take on jury duty or go to court to fight a small lawsuit or traffic ticket, and will essentially accept default guilt..... pay a $50 ticket, versus take a couple days off work, and possibly put your job at risk while losing much much more in wages.
Because they didn't want to lose a customer or make other customers afraid of them (When news got out, they might lose a ton of business and go bankrupt --- from other people being too afraid to bring their PC in for service).
Because they didn't think about it really, or decide what they saw was a big deal, or something important.
Because they would be afraid of being tied up in the investigation themselves. You report a crime, then you yourself can be detained and/or brought in and confined/imprisoned for questioning, even if you yourself are not suspect of any wrongdoing: it can be very stressful, bothersome, and inconvenient to spend days in police custody answering questions, just b/c someone brought a computer in, and you found something suspicious and reported it.
Because at the time, they were busy and did not recognize what it was, Or,
They didn't know it was illegal.... the difference between CP and art can be a fine line, and the technician did not necessarily know the age of people in the picture (Even if they look old, their legal age might be below the limit)
It is a law that would be nearly impossible to enforce.
Unless the worker goes digging around in their files and grabs a coworker, and tells them "Hey, look what I found!"
Or views a thumbnail in file explorer..... Or sends an email..... or makes a copy of it....
Or does any of a number of other thousands of possible actions which will create evidence they encountered it.
Also, if they double click the picture, Windows recent documents' functionality will conveniently record forensic information indicating the file was accessed, along with timestamp.
I think the deal is it's a law they can enforce against the technicians later, after the owner gets caught.
Once the computer is analyzed, they may be able to figure out that the technician opened or rendered a preview of the file for some reason or another.
Then, once they establish the technician viewed it, they just have to show that a reason person would have suspicion about the image, Or maybe not at all..... the technician will likely be forced into a plea bargain under the idea they are likely to be found guilty, just for having opened the My Documents file in Explorer which showed a Thumbnail preview somewhere in the list.
Slashdot Mirror
why they're creating an RSS reader using the MIT App Inventor
At least they are not using Visual Basic to create the app, so It cannot really do any harm.....

That can still be defeated through the use of a cheap HDMI splitter.

For Kanji; I suggest shipping a keyboard that comes with a 50 pound book with a list of multi-key compositions for selecting a desired Kanji unit.
Or just ship with a handwriting recognition unit instead of kanji, where the user draws the symbol.
I suggest using CAPS LOCK for the typing of all-caps sentences with accented bits.
"I READ a book today" is past tense. No loss of information.

The latency to places in Canada where they have datacenters is atrocious, for much of the US. The more northerly you go, the bigger an issue it is.
Then you place your IP licensing profit center in Ireland, where you pay the corporate tax at 12.5%.

why would anyone NOT want to report it?

What if someone brings you their PC and they just want an upgrade (say second HDD or new video card)
Then you don't go looking at their pictures/documents. D2D copy, And give them the old hard drive with the new one.
No problems, unless their wallpaper is CP, or something.
