idea about a global infrastructure that can't be controlled by the organizations who build and maintain said infrastructure.
I think the idea is to render it all Opaque to the entities that control the infrastructure,
so their ability to see and "Control" what happens is Reduced to Two options:
Have everything Turned on, Or Turn everything Off.
The option of "Have everything turned on, but Delete or block access to data item X" will no longer exist.
But now that he's retired, there's nothing that can be done, and either the problem has been resolved (in which case he was the problem) or it hasn't (in which case he wasn't).
What do you mean? Retirement does not mean you are no longer subject to the possibility of disciplinary action by the ethics enforcement body.
Also, if they figure out that his son was the prosecution on all these cases, and a clear conflict of interest wasn't even disclosed...:
It can generate a cause for appeal, and possible charges against the former judge.
That might even result in some settlements being cancelled and prior rulings overturned,
Although, I doubt one judge and one lawyer were allowed to do THAT much damage...
One of the big company defendants' investigation teams surely would have noticed any pattern like that, right?
The problem is Smartphones have levelled off in what is being added GAME-CHANGING IMPROVEMENTS ARE NO LONGER BEING MADE.
If the technology remains stagnant, then people won't need to replace their cell phones.
People aren't going to replace their cell phones, just because of minor refinements..... you need something HUGE that is compelling.
A Killer App to get people onto your new phone.
A hardware game-changing improvement, not a software enhancement that is easily copied.
That being said, they can deduct legal expenses, so it ends up being a wash.
Only certain legal expenses are deductible. Certain ones are not.... Attorneys' fees required to defend against or prosecute a civil suit are not in general deductible, unless its job/work related or taxable income is the outcome of the suit.
estimates how much lawyer time the person representing themselves would need if they had gotten a lawyer, and multiplies that by a standard lawyer hourly fee
And then issues them a 1099 for Self-Employment Income in the form of legal representation provided to self, and reports their earnings to all the taxing authorities.
MojoKid adds that the paper "goes on to explain that these AI agents might also learn to disable the kill switch
One press turns off the agent. Two presses in short succession temporarily suspends and transfers control to a 'service agent';
the service agent will resume the original agent after a quick check process to confirm things are OK.
The agent will be required to self-test its own kill switch, by containing a built-in hook to suspend itself if it has not self-tested recently.
At a set schedule, the agent will push its own kill button twice in short succession.
The exact time will be determined in advance, but the agent itself will not be privvy to its exact moment.
The service agent will spawn a virtualized copy of the primary agent in a sandbox, and confirm that all the kill switch hooks are not tampered with, before turning the main software back on.
Also, a reaper circuit will kill the equipment, if control is not handed over to the service agent in time, or the service agent has been altered or tampered with.
because the first thing the average trailer trash thinks about before pumping out another unit is whether they can feed it.
If the resources are not available to the human community, then the offspring the trailer trash pumped out will die, Or otherwise, resources will be displaced from someone else to support the trailer trash' new unit, And if the resources are not there, someone else will die so the trailer trash' new unit survives.
And predation, disease, factors like that. None of which applies to humans, because they have invented culture
Culture that disfavors reproduction IS possibly itself a disease, from a darwinian perspective, and evolution/natural selection will probably eventually disfavor cultural groups that don't prefer to have as many kids, resulting in those cultures and genes that favor people adopting such cultures becoming less predominant over time.
Disease and Predation definitely can affect human population. I just group those under the "availability of Clean and safe living space" resource.
But any reasons for deaths decrease the increase in population.
please explain poverty and the fact that poor people are the ones that have massive families whereas wealthy people don't.
The observation is not contradictory to the argument.
You're making an argument similar to the argument that could be made against global warming.....
It was freezing the other day in Greenland. I am not attempting to make a meteorological assessment on the daily ups and downs in population dynamics.
This does not govern what the population growth will be during any particular year, or any particular decade.... there will be many bits of noise in the long term trend. I'm telling you that the long term trend is dictated by the amount of basic resources available, And yeah suitable living space (in good sanitary condition) is one of the resources.
Population growth is births minus deaths across the entire species; contrary to what you are implying, there is not a shortage in the availability of the basic resources.
In the United States? Perverse incentives.
You can put kids to work, and the government will pay you for having more under entitlements programs.
if we want to work on that we should work on halting population growth first
Population growth is determined solely by the amount of resources available to a species
(Food, Water, Waste disposal, and amount of usable Land).
So, if you want to limit the population growth, then 'Basic Income' is counterproductive.
In that case, you need to limit access to the above resources, for example, by assigning each household a maximum purchase quantity on food, and your household's food ration is set at a level which is a meager ration per person And not sufficient to support more than 1 child, unless all adults at location join a gov't sterilization program.
There's no assurance it would happen again: People can only want so much stuff.
It sounds like you don't know people very well. I don't think i've ever met anyone who was not deep down a greedy S.O.B. who would live like a king if the opportunity was given to them......
Most people want probably 1000X or material crap than they can currently afford.
They basically do it anyways, by showing their Youtube imagery around the player, and the Youtube logo in the player itself.
Also, I think many content creators would welcome YT doing that, and offering services to pursue copyvios, Because of Rampant content theft by Facebook users, and the Freebooting problem.
Are you saying that by uploading something to YouTube, we're giving them the right to modify our content
The very act of uploading results in the content being modified. They re-encode stuff. Several versions of your video are created in different resolutions. They have extra features such as video stabilization.
They can include whatever extra content they want in front of or embedded in the special video files that they encode for use with their service.
Besides:
For clarity, you retain all of your ownership rights in your Content. However, by submitting Content to YouTube, you hereby grant YouTube a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, and perform the Content in connection with the Service and YouTube's (and its successors' and affiliates') busines
With HDCP; you have to do that anyways, because holes were discovered, and new HDCP versions get released.
Eventually, at an unknown time in the future HDCP versions earlier than 2.3 are going to stop working, because new content released requires the new version.
I offer to assist, he downloads TeamViewerQS, he reads me the id and password, I connect, and he's sorted out 5 minutes later.
I'm objecting to the "He just downloads TeamViewerQS part"; unless he is in the IT department,
physically the entire access is supervised by a sysadmin, and a temporary firewall exception is required to be added to the network firewall device.
The trouble is what happens if the software gets left on the computer, or some random user can easily deploy it without permission or forget to remove it.
It's the unattended access or support scammer access that is perceived as most dangerous, and also, the ease with which someone can do something careless with this..... which the network firewall is supposed to help prevent.
You ask why install software that has a potential to make your system more insecure?
It doesn't have the potential to make your system less secure it DOES make your system and your network less secure, because TeamViewer is essentially RDP with a Firewall circumvention protocol bundled.
Allowing users on your network to have TeamViewer installed on their workstation is apparently little better than just having Remote Desktop Protocol open to the world.
There's actually a reason that firewalls exist, and that these services are blocked from being accessed by the internet..... TeamViewer is circumventing that, when the proper practice is to use a managed VPN device for legitimate remote access which will require two-factor authentication to connect to the network, then provide authorized users access to remote control on the target IP address.
anything suitable for orbital launches is pretty close to being an ICBM in terms of technical capability
Yeah.... we need StarTrek-like shields and other automatically-engaging defense mechanisms to make sure there are no projectiles that can be launched into populated areas, or if they turn out to be a nuke, the output is guaranteed to be dissipated over a tiny area with no significant risk to populated areas, before this is a good idea.
Their website is accessible in the United States, therefore, it is possible that DMCA takedowns may be issued against them,
and I don't know how Yandex will respond if they do receive them, but if they ignore them, there could potentially be liability.
As far as is known.... Russia is not a piracy haven, and they do respond to issues in that regard.
However, Google might ignore Yandex because Yandex is not very high-profile, even if they're popular in Russia.
I guess you could say this as potentially one of the lesser-known "cracks" that a tool like Youtube-DL could potentially hide in for a longer period of time without getting very much attention, so they might slip under the radar, at least for a time.
Sorry, that's total bullshit. Proof: Edward Snowden.
No.... Snowden was a special case, for political reasons, thus that is no proof. --- I believe the Russians saw Snowden as an opportunity to one-up on the United States, and make their country look like the good guys granting asylum to people the "Repressive US government" wanted to imprison for political reasons.
They could contemplate Amazon/Netflix-style DRM protections. You don't see any Amazon-DL tool existing that allows you to have a permanent copy of a rented/non-owned video, now do you?
If they come back on a different domain: Google could still get the new domain delisted from search engines, and pursue charges against those who originally created the tool, also, they still commit a crime and can eventually be pursued, even if they are in Russia... And, it should still drastically reduce the number of users aware of how to get the tool. After that, they can start setting traps to detect what people accessing Youtube are using the tool, and then contemplate actions against those users.

I am not sure loser pays is the solution. I'm shocked that none of these judges has thrown the guy in jail.
He forced all the judges to recuse themselves, because they had dealt with his shenanigans before, causing them to become biased against him.
He kept forcing judges to recuse themselves, until he found a favorable judge to rule in his favor....

Because there is one and only one Internet.
There are many Telephones and many Phonographs, but only one Internet.
The Internet is the network of networks....
Internet is kind of like the word Universe, or "The Big Bang Theory"
Theoretically more than one could exist, BUT new ones will not be called Internet.
For example: An experimental network of networks has been called the Internet2
New network of networks will not be called Internet. The Internet is only one specific global arrangement of networks.
