Third wave feminists are generally sex-positive, and in favour of bodily autonomy in general. Otherwise they wouldn't support things like trans rights or reproductive rights. Those positions also affirm the belief that women are strong, intelligent and capable enough of making decisions about their bodies on their own.
They are also the ones who have been really pushing to make sex more enjoyable for women by removing the taboo of talking about it and recognizing that women's bodies often need more than just penetration to get off. Sales of sex toys are way up because of this mini-revolution.
Regarding Keillor, he claims he only patted a woman on the back but the radio station says that there were detailed allegations.
MPR said in a statement Tuesday that Keillor was accused by a woman who worked on his A Prairie Home Companion radio show of dozens of sexually inappropriate incidents over several years, including requests for sexual contact and explicit sexual communications and touching.
MPR said the woman, whom it has not identified, detailed the allegations in a 12-page letter that included excerpts of emails and written messages. MPR said as it attempted to investigate the case, Keillor and his attorney refused to grant access to his computer, emails and text messages.
Carefully crafted SSIDs can be used to exploit devices that don't parse them properly.
The SSID is actually just 32 bytes. Most devices try to parse them as ASCII or Unicode to make them easier for humans. And whenever ASCII, and especially Unicode are parsed there is all sorts of opportunity for mischief.
It's Mashiki, he sock-puppets his way to +5. Today he overdid it a bit, and has now run out of mod points so all his replies are stuck at the default level.
I don't think he will ever stop blaming Sarkeesian and Clinton for everything. They are too convenient. Look at his post history, whenever he has no argument to make (which is most of the time) he just starts ranting about one of them.
I realized a while back that he never argues in good faith. Should have seen it sooner really... It wasn't until he accused me of being a secret sexual predator for the third time that I decided to stop replying to him if he addresses me directly.
For most sensors it makes more sense to use a low power radio network such a LoRa, rather than WiFi. Better ranger, lower power.
A LoRa window sensor could easily run off a small solar cell, with super capacitor or small lithium cell for storage. One transmission every 15 minutes +/- 1 minute at random to avoid collisions, which allows the receiver to notice when the sensor has failed. One extra transmission when the window is opened or closed.
The EU has harmonized rules for personal data protection, which include a prohibition on the collection of biometric data without explicit permission from the subject. That includes facial recognition data.
So yes, in this case running that algorithm without the subject's permission is illegal.
Okay, but what if you find stacks of other people's personal data behind those doors, and it is obvious that it is not supposed to be available to just anyone?
If you reported the mistake you would be fine. If you went systematically through every door and make copies of other people's personal data for your own "archive"... Well, at best you could argue that you didn't realize the privacy law implications and thought that those documents were public records. And then it's down to if anyone believes you.
In this case since these were FOI requests the ignorance argument might be enough to avoid punishment. Chances are he didn't read even 1% of the documents he downloaded and the ones he saw might have been benign. But then again, he might have seen people requesting information about personal matters that they clearly wouldn't want made public.
Personally I don't think prosecuting him is the right thing to do, but it's far from as clear cut as some people seem to think. There may be other issues here too, if he felt the need to archive terabytes of 4chan...
In this case though the documents returned contained personal information, which I believe has some protection in Canada. So the first time it's fine, it was clearly a mistake by the web server and you should report it.
What isn't fine is exploiting that flaw to harvest large amounts of personal data from the system. Just because you found the debug mode on the vending machine that makes it dispense free coke doesn't mean it's okay to take all the coke.
Your example of requesting someone mail you a document actually counters your argument. If you ask for someone else's records by writing their social security number on the request, even though it's stupid to rely on just that number for "authentication" you still committed fraud. The first time you might claim it was a genuine mistake, but the jury probably won't buy that you make 2000 consecutive mistakes.
Most of these legal outlets were pointless. You either had to sign up to some ridiculous streaming service that didn't work with your smart TV anyway, or you pad to pay full retail price for a digital rental that also wouldn't play on your smart TV.
The physical disc was usually cheaper, but also quite awkward thanks to DRM.
It's sad that some people are creating a climate of fear, where men are afraid to interact with women because they believe this kind of thing. Ideas have been deliberately twisted and exaggerated in order to make men feel unsafe and forego rewarding and enjoyable relationships, not to mention damaging their careers.
Feminists like myself are trying our best to get the message out and help people understand issues like consent. They are not even complex issues, but there is so much mis-information and nonsense put out about them that it's hard to get past that sometimes. And those messages don't make good clickbait headlines so it's hard to compete.
Remember the furor over dancers at a microsoft-GDC party?
Did you understand the objections? It was a professional conference for game developers. Objecting to the dancers at that event is in no way incompatible with sex-positive feminism or support of legal, safe and regulated prostitution.
I've noticed one common aspect of arguments against SJWs is that they over-simplify and straw man the things they find objectionable. It's hard to tell if it is deliberate or if just some kind of premature "hot take". They often employ emotive language and imagery like "screeching" and hint at conspiracies.
If SJWs didn't exist then anti-SJWs would have to invent them... So they did.
According to the group she is a former child prostitute, so it's not that surprising that there isn't much information on Google about her.
Anyway, do we really need to investigate her personally? I mean, what is the point, other than to make an ad-hominem attack? The argument put forward here stands on its own and it doesn't matter where it comes from. It's disappointing to see how many/. stories get comments along the lines of "oh but this person is X so now everything they ever say or do must be rejected".
The lower voltage isn't much of an issue these days, so it wouldn't be much of an issue to mandate 1.2v compatibility for new products.
Many devices can run on 1.2v now, and boost controller ICs are incredibly cheap. In fact 1.8v is the new de-facto standard for very low voltage devices now, which works fine with a couple of NiMH cells.
It's on Netflix's original shows page. I think it's like Discovery, a joint effort where if you watch it on Netflix you get the Netflix logo instead of the sci-fi one.
Haven't read the detailed text of the agreement, but it seems like even if they concentrate on CO2 it will just force the ships to clean up their sulfur emissions too anyway.
A company I worked at had to change version numbering from two decimal places to one, because another company stripped tailing zeros when displaying our firmware version and people thought that V2.9 was older than V2.52... Because 9 is less than 52.
It matters a lot because of the AI is driving and screws up then either the customer or the manufacturer is going to suffer some consequential loss. Loss of no-claims bonus, increases premiums etc.
Imagine if it was found that one particular model had an uncorrectable flaw that made it 0.1% more likely to get into accidents. Customer's insurance premium goes up through no fault of their own, and the only way to recover the cost is to sue to the manufacturer. The EU will want to avoid that situation.
That's why making Volkswagen have mandatory insurance for their AI is a good idea. Instead of suing them the victims will go through the normal insurance pay-out procedure, and if necessary the insurance company will prompt Volkswagen to fix any systemic issues in order to maintain their low premiums.
You are looking at it from a developed world perspective.
I was in China earlier this year. Millions of electric scooters everywhere. It was actually quite scary - silent, often in a poor state of repair, people don't use their lights or seem to have any concept of how to drive safely, often rode them on the pavement... All electric, and extremely popular.
Makes sense for China. They are mostly lead acid batteries, which are very cheap. Limited range is fine for going to work etc. People have strong family ties so can share a longer range car between themselves. Electricity is cheap too, and available everywhere, and they understand that it is cleaner too. The vehicles themselves are very low maintenance because there are no gears, no spark plugs, no oil, no starter motor, no alternator.
India will be the same. Cheap, low range EVs that don't cost much to run. Probably using a lot of recycled batteries from first world countries, because we are crazy enough to throw them away. Battery prices are falling fast anyway.
Ah yes, it's another "I know how to become rich, it's easy, just do X. I just don't do it because it's immoral!"
Not because it is immoral, because it requires significant capital to invest. Once you have a few million cash you can basically live well forever on just the return from relatively safe investments, with minimal effort.
That was Marx's point. If you own the factory it is relatively easy to sit back and watch the profits roll in while others do the hard labour, and someone without a factory can't just start sewing their own clothes and hope to compete with that. Owning the only means to generate wealth pretty much ensures that no-one else can get wealthy.
It works in practice too, e.g. companies that encourage employees to own stocks so they have a stake in its future.
Becoming rich is actually a property of the individual
That's a vague and unconvincing statement. The children of rich people clearly have a lot more opportunities in life - better education and health, low cost loans from their parents when no sane bank would lend to them etc. Many of them end up failing repeatedly, but they have that family wealth buffer to protect them.
The problem is that the discounts are often give by cutting corners. I know people who have windows sagging at the top because the window frame wasn't properly re-enforced or whatever. The windows themselves are cheap crap, the struts are bent and broken, and the only possible maintenance is to rip them out and replace.
No-one ever haggles for a 20 year warranty, or even believes that the cowboys who did the work will still be around then.

Having no women working there will put a lot of people off, because it's often a warning sign of a toxic environment. Like canaries or something.

Since it's all been hushed up and settled out of court we will probably never know.

Key thing is to pick one and stick with it. Windows 10 is all very well, but what are they gonna do when they are on V94, huh?
I seem to recall that the API uses bytes for major and minor versions, so Windows 256 is gonna be a problem.
Pretty short sighted if you ask me. All my version numbers are uint64s representing the number of nanoseconds since 02:14 on August 29th, 1997.

Individual liberty and rights enforcement. That will be paid by equal dollar amount per person.
Then only people with wealth will have rights, and the rest will be in jail for not paying their taxes.
Okay but how do you explain Quaker Oats???
Seriously though, thanks. I even learned a new word: dickering.
