What happens if he has an OJI and no longer has fingerprints?
Then one of two things will happen.... the employer will find an alternate way to accommodate him, Or he will get terminated if there's no fiscally responsible way to provide a reasonable accommodation for the disability.
Most likely they will find an alternate option to the finger biometric, but that it will be inconvenient for the employee.
In other jurisdictions like the United States; it was never even a question, really.... Your employer can require you to use their biometric systems for access control or time and attendance; Time clocks with a finger scanner are common, and so are door control systems with hand scanners --- there's not in general a "Second option" for employees uncomfortable with the idea of sharing biometrics; If you don't cooperate, then you can't do your job or clock in properly, and if you can't do your job or you aren't recorded as present, then you're going to get terminated eventually..
Ban an establishment from refusing cash, unless there is a business or vending machine within 500ft of the entrance advertising a service where legal tender can be used to purchase prepaid cards or tokens which will be accepted by the establishment and at least 20% of nearby businesses, AND when the customer is billed, the customer's bill at the establishment will be discounted by the sum total of all "load fees" or other charges that could be incurred from the time of obtaining the card or token until after it is used.
That's not a good reason to not run Windows firewall. Its expected to be there, and you're exposing yourself to excessive and unnecessary risk if you turn it off. Sure.... some applications you install can potentially circumvent outgoing restrictions by adding a custom rule when you install the application, But the primary purpose anyway is to reduce the attack surface for unintended Incoming IP traffic by locking down a large number of ports that are wide-open otherwise.
usually, no-sue arbitration, all data can be used however the website feels like, user gives up all rights, usual legal garbage
Generally in such an online EULA there would need to be an Opt-Out option provided where users can avoid the binding arbitration to avoid claims of procedural unconscionability invalidating the no-sue arbitration and rights waivers.
Some of them are. Some of them are not. The vast majority of the SMS messages I get are from an email source.
What you are describing is impossible. E-mail is an internet standard the transport is specified by RFC2821; SMS text messages are part of GSM / UMTS ---- something transmitted over which is NOT e-mail - SMS has no concept of Sending TO or FROM an e-mail address, because the telephone network is not part of the internet and does Not use internet addressing for recipients and senders....
You might have some kind of message automatically transcribed or converted to you from E-mail into a SMS message by a SMS Gateway service provided by some provider for your convenience, but in that case the origin of the SMS message is a phone number belonging to that gateway server, And the gateway server is just translating and proxying some kind of traffic from outside the telecommunications network; in this case, the terminating subscriber is the Gateway system ---- The legitimate source for a text message is whatever phone number is on the SIM card of that Gateway system which connects to the SMS network. An e-mail to SMS or SMS to e-mail gateway, is of course an Internet Service Provider service, not a telecommunications service, Because you are using a third party to process your conversation data and convert it from the format of one system to another, and the Internet, DNS Domain System, and E-mail infrastructure are information services that ride on top of telecom services in the form of transport circuits.
The pirate sites just need to add one bit of HTML code....
<meta name="referrer" content="no-referrer"/>
Modern browsers will then be redirected to send no HTTP Referrer header.
Alternatively, HTTPS could be used, and with HTTPS Referrer is suppressed, because sending it could result in a security violation for the referring domain (a HTTPS URL may contain secret content/values).
How your cellular carrier determines if my email address is valid, authentic, and non-spoofed
SMS Text messages are from Wireless phone to Wireless phone. The origin of a text message is always a phone number, not an E-mail address.
The carrier has only to make sure that the phone number they pass on as the origin of every text message matches the phone number that IMSI actually registered with the GSM/UMTS network.
Would you argue that a shoplifter isn't guilty because the store didn't have adequate security
An entirely different thing -- the items on their shelfs are the property of the store. You can only remove them with the intent to possess them if a store employee agrees that you can have them, otherwise it would be theft; generally when you go to check out and you are presented a receipt for the items after being given an amount to pay for them AND you submitted the payment.
On the other hand, If you gave the cashier a coupon which tricks the register into prompting for an unintended amount to pay, for example $25 instead of $250, perhaps the coupon was legitimate but the barcode was wrong, and the cashier tells you that amount, which you pay instead, then the items are yours to take home, as soon as you are presented the receipt, And you stole nothing, since the employee of the store offered you that price and you paid then collected the proof of the sale.
We should just get new rules for Telecom services that allow providers to implement agreeable blocking measures.
We rely on texts. My provider should not have unilateral authority to decide what text messages I do and don't receive, assuming all the text messages are from an authentic (Non-Spoofed) source.
However, the FCC should also allow protections against SPOOFING and reasonable Denial of Service attack protections for Telecom services....
And as for blocking spam for telecom services: BOTH text message-based AND call-based robocalling and solicitation attempts --- Providers SHOULD be encouraged and allowed to provide filtering, provided recipients have the option of controlling and/or opting out entirely of content filtering services if so desired, And rate limits above a reasonable amount of traffic To/From a particular authentic sender/recipient should be allowed with an Option of notification to the recipient when some messages are being suppressed.
For example: A system where someone can't send you more than a few text messages before you have replied.
Or better yet, a system where "unknown contacts" can only send you 1 or 2 messages per day unless you "Add" them to friends.
Also, someone who sends a text message to more than 3 unique recipients in an hour who never sent them a text and don't have them on their friends list will become rate limited to 1 text per 15 minutes.
Geez, so what... it fell below $5000? There's nothing special about that... its not notable news --- Slashdot already covered that price was decreasing significantly 6 days ago, And didn't even bring up more important news within the Crypto ecosystem such as the BCH Chain forks and how those are doing; this is basically a duplicate headline within 10 days with 6000 changed to 5000.. A link to the exchange prices is good enough.
Are we going to get a big writeup again when it falls below $4000 within the week, and possibly below $3000 in 2 weeks, then $2000 ?
Again.... not interesting stuff for an article, when there are so many other things happening with the technology other than boring fiat exchange prices
Indubitably because she did not send classified information out through the account AND she has not been requested to provide copies of e-mails due to a court order and destroyed the server like Hillary did. The destruction of the server, the deliberate concealment, is the main reason Hillary should be in jail.
Because S3 is not a website; It is a storage service --- and some organizations have some repositories or datasets which they wish to use S3 to make public - possibly using a Requestor Pays bucket, OR selling access to a S3-based product through DevPay. Either way, you need to be able to provide other people from the public access to the storage bucket.
The service part is "software updates" and continued renewal of the limited term license to use updates to the software that you purchased a limited license for.
I suspect the Japanese courts are going to be even less swayed by that logic.
The laws are different in Japan. He wasn't jailed for fraud... he was jailed for misappropriation of electromagnetic records -- or in other words: basically, for exploiting a bug in software on his phone.
I blame media for inserting unqualified opinions into headlines --- sure you may have a paper with an article on an interview with Bill Nye, but his opinion on Mars doesn't deserve space in the headlines.
Bill Nye may be an intelligent person with a good deal of knowledge about science; However, his opinion is just that -- his personal opinion, and its not from a position of reasonable authority; although it is an interesting idea to compare to Antarctica: stations on Antarctica usually have a specific purpose; travel back from Antarctica is Quick and Easy compared to travel back from Mars to Earth,
and there's really no proposition for an expedition of colonists - Antarctica is not as interesting as Mars.
He has a point that life on Mars would be difficult and have major unpleasant aspects and inconveniences. Thats why terraforming may be a topic of especial interest - change the environment first so people can settle ---- change the atmosphere and change the climate - even if it takes many generations, and then people visiting have a more earth-like experience: not an Antarctica-like experience.
Much easier if you can just fake your GPS coordinate.
Probably mod the contest to require using a specific camera with a built-in GPS that digitally signs the photo stream, and the submitter needing to show the moderator some background info about the location and papers as supporting evidence proving that they went there.
Not so clear.... MERELY lying does not constitute fraud.. there has to be an actual representation which the party Had a right to rely on. The man used a capability of his phone/computers to "Virtually" visit the approximate GPS location of stores without actually driving there in person --- he can make the argument that he represented nothing, or that information was given only to the app on his local phone.
If the 3rd party software provider/developer took the GPS information and made a representation to the store that the man visited that store, then that would be an example of A representation that the party does not have the legal right to rely upon, therefore, not fraud --- the only thing the man would have suggested was visiting the approximate location of the store which was done virtually, but that was not a representation of visiting the store the man made to the company: that was something they concluded themselves or through a 3rd party
which will force the Fed to lower interest rates again, which will mean almost all asset classes will lose value over the coming month
No.... the Fed has been doing the opposite of Quantitative Easing they were aggressively doing during Obama's administration: attempting to trim their balance sheet, in addition to the aggressive interest rate increases --- the reverse QE will mean they could lower interest rates to 0 and still potentially make a catastrophe;
But leaders in the Fed have been looking disdainfully at the high stock market prices for a while now, and planning on how to take those prices down to what they personally feel they should be --- also, even though the Fed is supposed to be politically independent - I suspect some are political and upset with how well the economy appear to be doing during a Trump presidency; since appearance is everything, there are people in the Fed who would like to try and quietly use fed influence to cut back on liquidity at an excessive rate to make the economy appear to be a disaster for the next 2 years or so, in the hopes their result by Fed tampering is they get a democrat into office next.
They are not done yet by far... and they intend to accelerate the rate of reverse QE over the course of the next couple of years until they eliminate the excess reserves (electronic fictional cash they created).
Reverse QE reduces the size of the base money supply and will be evaporating 1.5 Trillion of $$ in deposits/lendable money out of the banking system.
Regardless of what they do with interest rates; the Uncertain affects of the reverse QE likely stand to have a high chance of causing not merely some loss in value but to crash nearly ALL asset prices including precious metals, and there will be some more bank insolvencies that may make 2008 or the last time the Fed tried something like this.... 1937.. look tame.
CISA in the field of info security Refers to a particular ISACA certification for security auditors. It's even a trademarked acronym. Wth do these government people think they are, stomping all over companies' IP and stealing acronyms for their own use?
Bitcoin is running into scaling and resource use issues.
The Bitcoin blockchain has SegWit and the Lightning Network technology addressing the scaling issues.
BCH ultimately doesn't fix the scaling issues; BCH has security issues since SegWit was not introduced transaction malleability was never fixed and the Covert ASICBoost bug in the PoW algorithm was never fixed, and BCH requires greater resource consumption on the chain than BTC transactions using second layer scaling with Lightning wallets.
As far as THIS hard fork is concerned.... BCH SV makes the resource problem even worse for BCH by increasing blocksize again to 128 MB; whereas BCH ABC would maintain the status quo for BCH ---- still less scaleable than BTC or what the BCH proponents like to call the Bitcoin Core chain.
Much like any alleged rapist doesn't want to be brought into a courtroom. Nice though they are said to be, Swedish prison is still prison.
Any innocent person doesn't like bring brought into a courtroom.... despite claiming that trials are "fair"; they are commonly biased against the defendant --- many jurors and officials will personally presume they are guilty, just because they have arrived in court ----- which means the police and the prosecutor believe that they have committed a crime, and people tend to believe the conclusions of these authorities.
The rout is likely being spurred by uncertainty around bitcoin cash
There's really no uncertainty; just some folks deluding themselves..... Bitcoin cash is a failed hard fork that was dead on arrival, and such a small portion of the crypto market there's no way this is a likely explanation.
Prices are volatile.... less buying interest more selling interest in BTC, simple as that.
it started in the USA with the shaming and criminal charges against people who disciplined their children. I'm not saying beat your kids senseless
I think SOME minority of parents DID over-discipline their children and perhaps did "beat their kids senseless," and then some of those kids who had to endure that remained senseless and never recovered AND found their way into government seeking "revenge" against all future parents in the name of getting back at their own parents.
