Ideally scientists in all the different fields would use the statistics that make the most sense for their specific study
How about: Researchers should engage a staff statistician to look at their study, Develop a plan for what statistics to use, and sign-off that the statistical bar of significance used is the right one for this kind of experiment and data?
Either that or create a rubrik that uses a bunch of Yes/No questions and a few numerical ranges to decide how statistical significance shall be measured and thresholded for each kind of study.
We have become a sad population if we reproach people having 3 kids.
I reproach people for having 3 kids in an overpopulated city where housing is in extreme demand, and getting a tiny crappy apartment costs more than $2500/Month, and reasonable housing is more like $50k a year.
Not really... it's "Real money" in the sense that you can reliably transact with it.
It's not "Real money" in the sense that it is not a government-issued currency. Unlike real money, the government didn't make it and retain the rights to it --- so it's "More real" than money in the sense that it is more like tangible property with intrinsic value, and not something that can be arbitrarily manufactured.
You cannot force - directly through government - a foreign institution to comply.
Right, but the foreign banks will choose to comply, because if they don't BACKUP WITHOLDNG will activate against that institution and apply to ANY funds transferred from overseas into a US-based bank.
Also, Microsoft has historically quite the reputation of downplaying discovered bugs with security impact or reclassifying as lower impact, Until an actual exploit is publicized that defeats all mitigations.
Doubt the bounty will help matters. Merely discovering a bug is not enough --- you're going to need to build the exploit to.
Once you have a RCE exploit, you could PROBABLY make a lot more than $250k selling that to the CIA, etc.
Shifting culture leads to new interpretations of old rules by progressive judges.
In 2015, the EEOC ruled that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits sexual orientation discrimination in employment, since it is a form of sex discrimination.
Anyways, it is possible that this reversal by Trump could result in some claims under the 14th amendment.
The military can set its recruitment policies and practices, but such a sweeping order by the president can be said to go beyond that authority.
does the military treat people with other medical problems, like needing glasses
On a case-by-case basis. There is no "blanket policy" that people with a medical history are completely banned, although this may affect their chances, OR this may affect their role or positions, there's no sweeping rule that "anyone requiring X cannot serve in any position". New recruits requiring glasses can be issued them --- RPGs (regulation prescription glasses) are a thing.
He has sole authority to do this. The 9th circuit has zero say.
If this is challenged; the 9th circuit will interpret the laws, and if they find a law or constitutional right this violates, then they can nullify all or part of his order.
Seriously.... who cares that they know your floor plan? Besides, you listed all these advantages that can help you as a consumer, by having your other devices know your floor plan!
My only concern is if you bought the device, then the maps should be your property, and you should be free to submit this data to all your smarthome product vendors without adding to the costs of their products.
It seems a bit unfair that you spent $$$ on this robot that collects your data AND the company wants to tax your data instead of allowing you to submit it and do what you will with the data from your bot for free.
Have you ever went from a mock-up to a production implementation without learning something new?
No... mock-up not the countermeasures, but the operators for the weapons you are building the countermeasures against. Countermeasures which are not RF-based that work against remote-piloted weapons in a restricted sandbox should work fine against real-world autonomous weapons.
The problem is if you put resources into developing the autonomous weapons themselves; the enemy is likely to conduct espionage and steal equipment to then use against you or gain insight from your insights. There are so many ways this can happen, that you could pretty much say is impossible to prevent.... so Don't be the creator of the first "production" weapon or thing that could be used as a stepping stone by evil people to build the killbots.
And really, once equipment like this is perfected, it should be relatively easy to develop automated targeting technology on the side and mate the two as necessary
The greatest threat is probably from stolen autonomous equipment getting into the hands of terrorists.
The best defense I can think of is developing it yourself so at least you can understand the true dangers and potentially build countermeasures against them.
How about you stick with "safe limited mock-ups" of the technology and develop countermeasures directly, instead.
As if Intel would hesitate to use litigation or the threat of litigation over violation of real or imagined IP rights in effort to attempt to prevent or eliminate competition.
Have you been following the election returns for the last few decades? Do you know which party controls the presidency, the supreme court, the senate, the house,
The Supreme Court's purpose in life is to be an independent judiciary: its members not to be concerned about political matters or political parties.
Regardless of the political views of the current president or senate they all have a legal obligation to faithfully uphold the laws of the land, and the Antitrust laws are among the laws of the land.
On the other hand, it sounds like these users may be witnesses to a crime of fraud.
However, they spoke anonymously about it, and Glassdoor's purpose in life is for publishing the postings from these anonymous sources. Glassdoor's purpose is Not to exist as a free tool to help trace frausters.
The authorities should be able to simply use the anonymous postings as a "tip", and then do the actual legwork of talking with all the potential people. If they have a legit investigation, they should already know what company is involved, and then use tax and other records to determine who all the employees were, and then start interviewing people until they find the witnesses.
Once the companies have you trapped in rental..they really have no incentive to improve and innovate now do they?
I dislike it so much, that I think there should be a law against it. Something liek....
SQUATTERS RIGHTS ON SOFTWARE
If software or the right to the legal possession of software is included as a product or service, then after a consumer's use of that service and/or legal possession of that copy of software has continued for 12 calendar months without permanent cancellation or termination of the consumer's privilege to use the software, then after the 12th month, that consumer receives a permanent, unconditional, irrevocable right to continue use of all their copies of software, to disable, circumvent, or otherwise modify or duplicate any security or other features of any aspect of their copy of software in any manner required to make software continue to function, and/or transfer or convey their rights to one or all copies of their software without restriction, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary.
The other issue is that office 365 includes outlook, which open office does NOT match in any capacity.
What happened to the US having antitrust legislation? If they offer tied products, they should be required to also sell Outlook
and Outlook services separately at its proportionate cost. Tying Outlook to these other solutions is anticompetitive behavior by MS.
The problem is not the Word processor. LibreOffice needs feature parity with Excel, As Excel is the major justification I hear many people have for staying with Office. And then after getting that TRUE feature parity, LibreOffice need to add some "killer app" functionality, like a better MS Access than MS Access, and a way to handle collaborative databases and cloud-hosted collaborative databases.
And then get a major marketing campaign to show how LibreOffice Does everything Excel does and more
Great, so now the only benefit of prime is shipping speed?
As a prime member; I feel cheated if they're raising prices on the items. Maybe it's time I started shopping around at many online retailers for most purchases like I used to.
Is there a service that will just offer me an XML feed of prices from major retailers queryable by UPC Code, or some other unique identifier, so I can write my own daily query on a bucketload of products i'm interested in, and use my own threshold scripts and not reveal my thresholds to the service?
I actually don't get what the fuss is about this. I you want to life in a law less zone that is fine for you.
Just because you live in a zone with fascist anti-Speech laws for protecting a right to be "forgotten" and erase what was publicized about you don't mean the rest of the world does.
Your country might grant you the right to be forgotten by restraining companies' free speech, but your country don't have a right to restrict what gets stored on and served out to the world by by servers outside your country.
The TLD of the domain generally has nothing to do with the location of the servers.
In fact... this is incorrect. Usually they are directly related. Usually companies place the servers that will ultimately handle the HTTP request for a given TLD within or near to the geographic area of that TLDS' users.
Yes, some TLDs are (mis)used in different ways, and some smaller companies put all their servers in one country, and still serve out multiple TLD versions of their website from the same datacenter.
However, for global companies such as Google, they will have datacenters in numerous countries, and the corresponding DNS name TLD is routed towards the datacenter appropriate for that localization of their website.
In Google's case, when you visit their website, they redirect you to the proper TLD, and they have their systems of answering IP addresses and DNS queries differently (Anycast-based service routing) depending on which country you are located in when you navigate to your local country's version of Google; so the TLD used indicates which country/region's localization of Google you are using.

My feeling is this is bound to wind up in the 9th circuit district court with an injunctive order issued against this change in policy.

so unless you buy low cost items every day or need it in 2-3 days, prime is useless except for their streaming service.
That's a little depressing, though. On the other hand, I perhaps spoke too soon about there being no other benefit.
It does automatically give me the Twitch Prime status, which eliminates ads from the platform..
I doubt the video streaming service justifies the cost. They're no NetFlix, and even NetFlix misses vital titles.
